Wall Street's obsession with Apple and innovation

So another wall street analyist put out a doom and gloom report on Apple complaining that the company isn't innovating anymore. He used the iPad mini as an example saying a smaller iPad is basically no big deal. Excuse me, but wasn't it the wall street clowns who were constantly whining about how Apple had to make a smaller iPad to compete with the Kindle and Nexus, with the "iPad killers"? Then when Apple does that these same clowns claim it's boring, no big deal, not innovative. Basically Apple can't win no matter what they do. It's like tails you lose, heads I win. So *(&#^ frustrating.

As a stockholder it pisses me off because I do think that meme plays into the stock being in bear territory. I mean it was 7 years between the iPod and iPhone. No company can create revolutionary devices every year. And what are others doing that's so revolutionary? Attaching a keyboard to a tablet isn't new. Creating phones with bigger screens....how is that different than creating a tablet with a smaller screen. If the iPad mini isn't innovative than 5" phones aren't either.

I'm not suggesting there aren't areas where Apple needs to step up. But I think Tim Cook recognizes that, hence the executive refocus he implemented. I just fail to see where all these other tech companies are doing all this innovation and Apple's not. Apple is able to pack all this amazing tech in thinner and lighter devices and everyone yawns. Google creates a 7" consumption tablet and the media has an orgasm. Seems like a double standard.
