Apple, Inc. is definitely in the zone. The Q3 sales of their Mac, iPad and iPhones this year blew up sky high—past Wall Street’s estimates. In the not too distant past, Apple is among the lesser known computer manufacturers not unlike Sun Microsystems. The only people using a Mac those days were die-hard Apple fans. Lately, it is not surprising anymore to see a Macbook on a table if you happen to pass by a coffee shop.
I am not sure if this is because of the Apple Macintosh’s new OS X operating system or the introduction of their latest portable gadgets like the iPod, iPhone and now the iPad, or a combination of both. Whatever the reason is, I am happy for this development. For Mac users, they will be getting more software for their Macs because Apple’s growing market share is becoming more attractive to software developers. For PC users, Microsoft and computer manufacturers like IBM, HP, Sony and Dell will be striving very hard to improve their products because of the very real competition that Apple is now offering. For me, it is a great time for all computer users. Having more choices is always better.
