Agreed. Just sit on them like I am. I bought in a while back @ $72 a share (with NZ $). AAPL is on my long term investment plan.

I have to laugh at those morons who listened to Jim Cramer's "sell some Apple, sell some Apple, sell some Apple" rant.
Here's my rant: "buy some Apple, buy some Apple, but some Apple". This is only the beginning, guys.
I'm just wondering what the seriously expensive product transition is going to be ?
New 'no way!' shock design iMacs, gobsmacking iphone-esque video ipod, sexy cool iphone nano and *something else* not even on our radar!!

Q: Are there thoughts about addressing corporate email on the iPhone?
A: We think that the iPhone is a breakthrough product for all customers including business customers. With very little help from the IT department, it will work. Have many business customers who are very happy so far.

Any idea what this means? Does it mean that they are testing MS Exchange or Blackberry Connect? Or does it mean that they convinced some corporate customers to open IMAP Ports?
I did hear before that MS Exchange ActiveSync was being tested but not sure if that is a fact or not. This question could have really clarified it.
Does anyone know for sure that this is in the works? I consider it extremely important to get a large segment of the email market.
Right now corporations are not Apple's top priority. There is only so much work they can do, and they'll put the work where it adds most customers. Right now, an IT department _can_ give you access to your work e-mail if they want to, but they may not want to, and they may have good reasons. I'd expect Apple to start working on this some time in the next few months. And whatever they do will also be reflected in the MacOS X Mail application. That's the brilliant thing about having MacOS X on the iPhone: Lots of the work on MacOS X improves the iPhone and vice versa!
Two "big issues" I have:
2) No support for manual music management--instead, I have to create an "iPhone playlist" and synchronize it with the iPhone.
Not always. The opening price will be closer to PM.
Hmmm . . In my iPhone pref tab for music I can choose which of my current playlists sync up. That's just how I want it.
Do you not have that option?
So what do you think he meant by the statement "With very little help from the IT department, it will work"? Do you think that this means that IT departments are either opening up IMAP Ports or allowing POP3 access to Corporate Email?
You say that as if it's a bad thing. IMAP on SSL is secure and stable. I'm not sure where this notion of Exchange being more secure than IMAP came from.
Fighting for the adoption of opens standards, like IMAP, can make sense.My point is why fight it.
Sure, but that risk exists with BlackBerries and the like as well.Also, remember that there other sucurity concerns besides IMAP SSL. Like lost PDA's being cleared of Corporate information if needed over the air.
He's talking about manually dragging the songs to the iPhone, without necessarily syncing it to a playlist .

It ended up opening at $145.94. Not sure why, since the last trades in after-hours were at around $150.00.
$818 Million profit is just out of this world. Around double over last years quarter. I think people really under estimate how big of a company Apple is. Looks like last quarter is funding the 2nd HQ being built!
Actually I am not saying that. However, it appears that a lot of Exchange Admin people are saying that is not what they want to support (for whatever reason). With that said, I believe that besides EMAIL; Contacts, Calendar, and Task Syncing are very important. IMAP would only give you EMAIL. Also, you would have to also support IMAP Push which Yahoo is currently supporting.
My point is why fight it. Would it not be better to just give full support to Exchange and/or Blackberry Connect so the Business Community would embrace it now. Also, remember that there other sucurity concerns besides IMAP SSL. Like lost PDA's being cleared of Corporate information if needed over the air.
Of course they could be going off in some other direction. Maybe you will be able to get Over the Air SYNC of Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes from another to be anounced server to compete with Exchange and Blackberry. I know MS is also supporting this with Windows Live for the non-business user (or maybe small business user). I think they could do something like this as well. As you know they already have Yahoo Push Email. Maybe Yahoo can get busy and support the other options with a backend to Exchange and Blackberry. However, not counting on this since Yahoo does not seem to be doing that good of job at just doing the Push Email part.
Again, I started this topic to see if anybody could shed more light on the comments made about Corporate Email. Sounds like you are saying that they are talking about what is already available which is IMAP. Is that what you are saying?

Just like there is after-market trading, there is also pre-market trading.
