Says the analysts that took this down after hours because of that miss, lowered guidance and questionable future margins.

bought @ $87 in fall '08.

Again, lowered guidence according to WHO? Apple just now gave their guidence for the next quarter, so there was never anything to base this on.
Go troll elesewhere...
Cheap?
AAPL is not even close to cheap anymore. If you buy now, you are buying into the notion Apple will keep growing remarkably even in weak markets that are edging towards double dip recession. The US economy is on the edge of a cliff again, the Fed is about to shred consumer confidence by dramatically weakening the value of dollars people hold, stoking inflation, and all the while the US remains Apple's biggest market.
There's probably further upside with Christmas around the corner. But very few people succeed in selling at the top and buying at the bottom. Greedy people will always try, but the stories often end in tears. I dropped my Apple shares around the $275-$280 level. I'll only be prepared to re-enter the market if they drop below $100 again with the world's biggest markets back in a dark recession. Until then, I'm watching from the sidelines smiling at the same old tired analysts singing from the choir sheet - trying to outbid each other on target prices beyond $400.
I'm very afraid Apple shares have entered territory resembling the housing market before the spectacular crash: a giant bubble. Nobody is trying to cool the hype and speculation. Nobody is speaking of risks to the downside (they always exist). Everyone is yelling buy, buy, buy, this baby is going higher, higher, higher!!!
PLUNGE: http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/AAPL, <----------More proof that Wall Street is lost in a land of confusion.

Try doing a bit of research first.
Apples fundamentals are very good. 51B in the bank. 14B income last year.
Troll? Please. Maybe you're a teenager and don't realize how wall street works, but there's these people called analysts whose job it is to use a publicly traded company's past earnings and future guidance to put together projections and decide for themselves and their clients whether or not a stock should be bought or sold.
Apple did very well on all these projections except for the iPad sales which came below the estimates these knowledgable folks put together before today's earnings announcement.
It's not like I'm pulling numbers out of thin air. This is how the system works. If you were right and I was wrong, the stock would not be trading down on this news. I'm not saying Apple isn't a good buy nor that it won't recover (maybe as soon as tomorrow - heck, maybe as soon as this AH session) but to imply I'm trolling simply because I point out something that Apple didn't do perfectly is more ignorant than some of the garbage spewed the fanboys in the iPhone forums.
Who? and who?
Google and Research In Motion (Blackberry). Steve is basically using the conference call to bash RIM's future in the market share. Then, he went after Google's "open" strategy and fragmentation. Now he's going after the new tablet entries into the market place...
^^It was a joke. I know who RIM and Google are...obviously.
And yet when I bought my ipod touch, one of the apps installed already was "Google" Maps. Weird how that happens.

Steve on Android:
"Google loves to claim Android is 'open' and iOS is closed, but we think this is disengenuous and clouds the real difference between the two approaches."
Android is fragmented across devices. HTC and Motorola developed their own propriety interfaces for Android to differentiate their handsets. All iPhones work the same.
Ex: TwitterDeck recently developed the Android version of their app. Said they had to deal with more than 100 versions of android on 244 different handsets.
A lot of Android apps only run on certain versions, on certain handsets. iPhone apps only need to support 2 versions: the current and most recent predecessor.
There are/will be at least 4 app stores for Android (Google's, plus Verizon, Motorola, and others are developing their own stores).
"Android is a mess for users and developers."

He's on a roll I hope he goes after companies who promise white phones and don't deliver next
