According to the people after Jobs' death was that Apple will ride the wave, then decline. just like Dell after Michael Dell left. Larry Ellison said the same thing the other day in an interview (but not sure whether to believe him or not, Ellison being Ellison and all). Although Apple was never perfect even with Jobs (remember Antenna gate) and other issues but he was a visionary, he saw things which a lot of people didn't. But although people always thought of him as the brains you also have to see that he has a great team behind him. Apple might be in decline now from the $800 per share at their peak but is this how a company is measured? I believe that even though they have not produced anything revolutionary in the past few years does not mean they are in decline. One cannot simply create revolutionary ideas every year. It's all incremental. iPod touch was the testing platform for the iPhone and in turn it was the platform for the iPad. What's next? I think I'll sit here and wait for it. I still think that they are still capable of something great based on the current team of executives at the head of Apple. They aren't sitting on their laurels with a sales person as their CEO. When the day comes that Apple does that I might change my tune, but for now I will still be as excited for an Apple event as I used to be.
