There is a reason why Internet services are capped, because there will always be a section users who tax the network heavily and end up slowing or jamming the service for everyone else.I'm thinking/hoping they either purchase or create a 4g service. Think about how well it could work out for them. Free uncapped Internet everywhere for your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad anywhere ou go - increases the purchases you make via iTunes and the app store. Then they could roll it out to the MacBook air product line so you can use Internet for free anywhere you go, thus increasing the iTunes and app store purchases made once again. This would ALSO get more people to buy apple products. Also, by not offering call features they wouldn't be shutting out AT&T or Verizon. This would all stay within the realm of what apple believes, more great features to the customer for their great products all while increasing sales for the services that really make them money - iTunes and the app store!

If Apple bought some ailing company like Nintendo or Sirius/Xm or TiVo, their share price would plummet. These companies don't offer up any really game changing technology or ideas.

My prediction, 90% sure: Apple Inc. will repurchase TONS of their outstanding stock at outlandish prices. This makes SO much more sense than a dividend.
It's a conference call with Tim Cook and the CFO. That's not how you would announce a major acquisition. My money is on a dividend. And then 50% will say it's thr right thing to do and 50% will say it would never have happened under Steve and the company is DOOMED now that he's gone.

Why do people want Apple to bring manufacturing back over here? I don't know about you, but I don't want to work a repetitive, low paying factory job. The thing I don't understand is why they can't make a completely robotic assembly line for their products.
They should buy Disney.
I honestly don't get why they'd issue dividends now...isn't there enough value being generated from stock growth anyway? I hope they do something more creative with the cash
Shareholders have been handsomely rewarded for holding AAPL. Apple should return money to its customers in the form of discounts or rebates. Apple's customers have helped build the cash hoard, not shareholders.
Creator and perfecter of 3D gaming on a 2D plain (Thanks Mario) and the input device (Joypad) used to interact with those worlds?
Scott Forstall has never been to Disney World, so first, Apple will send him there. Scott has been quoted as being very excited about Space Mountain.
Bob Mansfield will be installing a deck on the back of his house. He may also install a rain gauge.
Jony Ive intends on taking his kids out for breakfast every other Sunday for the rest of the year.
Peter Oppenheimer has been heard that he needs to "live a little" and will be stepping away from model railroading and plans on using some of the money to take up fly fishing.
Tim Cook plans on buying a new iPad.
Isn't it just going to be a declaration of open warfare on Android?
They're going to buy Samsung with cash and shares.
Boring as it may be, there is no single company of that size that Apple need the cash for. They need cash to buy future supply rights and small innovating companies. 100 bill is just too much for that, so hand it back to shareholders in the form of a dividend.
So wish I'd bought those 2000 shares back in 2002. O well.
Samsungs Total Equity is over 200 billion and growing. Apple cannot never buy Samsung. Apples total equity is 100 billion. Do some research.
