Seems ironic that AAPL just passed the $300 a share during the advent of the Windows 7 phone release.
It was fun to throw mud at Cramer's original target back in October of last year. My assessment back then fundamentally missed the fact that once a company proves that they understand consumer sentiment, you should automatically assume that their future offerings will be just as disruptive as their past offerings. While AAPL has a lot of competitors on it's coat-tails, it is currently leading in form factor, design, application breadth, overall innovation, and now distribution channels.

Life at 3MPH
I just accomplished one of my dreams, I kayaked the Grand Canyon. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. 24 days of river life. The hikes, people, food and everything about the trip was surreal. While words cannot truly describe the experience, here is a little something I wrote to describe it in simple terms...
Life at 3MPH
life at 3mph
the closest i'll ever get to the speed of light
worldly cares wash away with spring rain
then comes the desert bloom
Palmer's Penstemon, Desert Larkspur, Sacred Datura, Primrose, Mariposa Lily, Prickly Pears and Poppies
sing in the amphitheater
scale to look for another view
the enormity of everything is a halting horse
carved giants watch from above
river, washes, tributaries
relics of the past leave simple traces
stories make them into legends
Anasazi, Hopi & Navajo
tracks of the day: mountain goats, deer
scorpions, ringtail cats
and river rats
survival is a simple cadence
chores, paddling, swimming, and grooving with a view
life is more primal, routine, slowed
and every eye blink is of canvas quality
subtle fear sets in as the south rim arises
dance in the shadows of the canyon walls and laterals
where serpentine waltzes show respect to the boil lines
STOP what you are doing
look up, it's breathtaking
promontories, mesas, buttes, pinnacles
as the fire red colors melt into the starry sky.
