Imagine if you bought Apple stock in 1997

Imagine if you bought Apple stock in 1997. Buying 100 shares back then was a fairly small investment that would have brought big returns. Steve Jobs is clearly one of the most universally admired chief executives in history. But it wasn't always that way.

He didn't have the faith of investors back in 1997, when he returned to Apple Computer. The company was barely hanging on, and when Jobs was named interim chief executive in September, the stock price was around $21.81 (or $5.45 adjusted for splits).

Apple Sues Amazon Over App store

Apple Sues Amazon Over App store

Apple sues Amazon over 'Appstore' name, alleging trademark infringement
Apple has filed a lawsuit against Amazon accusing the Web retail giant of copyright infringement over the name "app store."

The complaint, filed Friday, is over the name of Amazon's new store for mobile phone applications: It's called "Amazon Appstore."
Apple calls its iOS app store "App Store" and alleges that the Amazon Appstore name is too close -- illegally close -- to its trademark.

"Recently, Amazon has begun improperly using Apple's APP STORE mark in connection with Amazon's mobile software developer program," Apple said in its complaint. "Amazon has also taken actions which, on information and belief, evidence Amazon's intent to improperly use Apple's mark in connection with Amazon's mobile software download service. Amazon's present and intended uses are unauthorized and unlawful."

Amazon has yet to officially launch the Amazon Appstore, which is set to sell apps for Google's Android mobile operating system and be integrated into Amazon.com. Amazon began accepting developer submissions to its Amazon Appstore developer portal in January.
Officials at Amazon were unavailable to comment on the lawsuit Monday.


Apple's suit said Amazon had not responded to any of Apple's company-to-company complaints over the Appstore name.

iPad Smart Cover - Corporate Case iPad 2

"What is uniquely popular, we have called Smart Cover, - said Steve Jobs on stage. - We have developed this case under the iPad 2. Although it is not quite cover it in the understanding, to which you are accustomed to. ... It's a plaid" . Further, any number can play with the translation of the word cover, but one thing is clear - a remarkable case came out. He and the truth is not like anything - there really Apple has shown that its industrial design is one of the best in the industry. iPad 2 is so thin that it makes no sense to increase its volume, or else lose all the beauty. Apple is to protect only the screen, leaving intact the aluminum cover. Due to its flexibility iPad Smart Cover can act as a multifunctional base. The beauty of the cover is that it at any time can be removed for a few seconds: as fixatives used magnetic mount. One magnet is built into the tablet, the other - in the case itself. Together, they cling to each other. If you close the cover, the iPad will automatically turn off itself, without any buttons. Obviously, with the help of electromagnetic induction. The choice will be available five polyurethane colors for $ 39 and five leather for $ 69. The inner surface is covered by iPad Smart Cover microfibre to automatically scrape away the dirt screen tablet. In my opinion, a worthy solution. I do not need iPad 2, just wrap this cheholchik.

Apple to unveil iPad 2 on March 2

If the latest chatter is true, we may finally get our first glimpse at the next iPad in a little more than a week.

Kara Swisher over at All Things Digital says she has "multiple" sources who claim that Apple will hold a media event in San Francisco on March 2.

Apple has yet to officially confirm an event next week, but according to Swisher, the company "seems poised" to take the wraps off the long-anticipated iPad 2, with the event "likely" to take place at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
The story comes just hours after a flurry of rumors that the next-generation iPad had been delayed, with major news outlets eventually backtracking on the claim Monday.

While Apple hasn't said a peep about the new iPad yet, rumors peg it to be both thinner and lighter than the 1.5-pound, 0.52-inch original, with at least one camera for video chat, a souped-up processor, and more RAM.

There had also been talk that the iPad 2 would arrive with an improved screen similar to the "retina" display on the current iPhone 4, but a recent report in the Wall Street Journal shot down those rumors, noting that the new display may "disappoint customers" hoping for a "significant improvement" in resolution.

The news comes just days before the arrival of the Motorola Xoom, a tablet with a 10.1-inch display that runs on Android 3.0 "Honeycomb," the new tablet-centric version of Google's mobile Android platform.

The next iPad also faces competition from the upcoming, Android-powered LG G-Slate, RIM's BlackBerry Playbook, and the WebOS-powered Touchpad from HP.

New Apple MacBook Pro in March?

The newest MacBook Pro from Apple Inc. may arrive as early as next month, according to Apple Insider.

Apple Insider cited a Danish blogger who found out through an employee at an Apple retail store that the newest version of MacBook Pro should launch on Tuesday, March 1.
However, the March date could be pushed back as “Apple's product launches are often a moving target that can see last minute delays of several days due to unexpected anomalies in manufacturing or the company's supply chain,” noted Apple Insider.
The new laptop is said by Apple Insider to feature Intel’s new core architecture, Sandy Bridge, but PC Magazine laptop analyst Cisco Cheng noted that the rumor may not be valid.

"Apple is usually the last OEM to move to new Intel chips, and given that Sandy Bridge systems just resumed shipments, it's very unlikely Apple will have MBPs by March 1st," Cheng said in the report.

The last update for the MacBook series was done almost a year ago in April 2010.

iPad2 to be released soon?

The tech world is buzzing with rumors that Apple will soon release the second version of its popular iPad. There’s rampant speculation about a possible iPad2 release date, but the company is not saying when it will happen.

Apple Hits 10 Billion Apps Mark

Popular smart phone likely to become even more so with addition of Verizon next month

Apple Hits 10 Billion Apps Mark

Apple says that its app store has hit the 10 billion downloads mark.

The milestone, announced on Apple Inc.'s website Saturday, arrives as the company's hugely popular smart phone is likely to become even more popular with the addition next month of Verizon Wireless as a carrier.
The company has sold tens of millions of iPhones since the device launched in 2007 and continues to expand the use of apps with its iPad tablet computer. Its app store has drawn an army of software developers hoping to piggyback on the company's success. The store now boasts more than 300,000 different programs that can be used on the iPhone and the iPad.

10 HUGE Questions About The iPad 2

Will the iPad 2 be generally the same size and design as the original iPad?

This seems likely. The iPad's 10-inch screen is a good middle ground between a smartphone and a laptop.
But we assume the iPad 2 will be thinner. And the case itself may be made out of different materials.

Will the iPad 2 support Verizon?

Apple has already started selling the iPad at Verizon Wireless, bundled with a mi-fi wireless hotspot.

Given that the companies now have an official relationship, it makes sense that the iPad 2 could ship in a Verizon-compatible edition. (Perhaps alongside a Verizon iPhone.)
Now the question is: Will the iPad 2 support Verizon's (and AT&T's) new 4G networks? Or only 3G for now, because of battery life, 4G network size, etc.?
And: Will Apple let carriers subsidize the price of the iPad, if someone signs a 2-year data contract?

When the iPad 2 comes out, what happens to the first iPad?

We assume the iPad 2 will cost the same $499 entry price as the iPad. (Barring any carrier subsidies.)
But if Apple can, it makes sense to knock the price of the original iPad down by $100 or $150, using it to draw people into the store, the way the $99 iPhone does. (Many of those people will actually end up buying the more expensive iPad 2.)
The future of the iPad is having three or four of them sitting around the house and office. So the more affordable Apple can make them, the faster that future can be realized.

Will the iPad 2 have a retina display?

It makes sense for Apple to increase the screen resolution on the iPad, the way it has with the iPhone and iPod touch. But as many have argued, it would be challenging for Apple to quadruple the iPad's resolution the way it has with its smaller devices. That would be a LOT of pixels to power.
Perhaps a middle ground, that's more pixel-dense than today's iPad, but not as crazy as the iPhone?
Or maybe Apple will really push the limits and push out an amazingly gorgeous 10-inch retina display?

Will there be a front-facing camera for FaceTime chats?

This is one of the most obvious, definite additions to the iPad 2. We fully expect a front-facing camera on the new iPad.
And it looks like there will also be a camera on the back, too, to keep consistent with the iOS lineup.

An iPad mini?

The newest tablets out there -- Samsung Galaxy Tab, RIM BlackBerry PlayBook -- seem to be converging on 7-inch screen size. And it's been rumored that Apple will also have a 7-inch iPad at some point.
Perhaps the market will eventually force Apple to make something like this. And there's no doubt that Apple has internally tested something like this. But we don't think this is going to happen in 2011.
Steve Jobs has slammed the 7-inch screen as being too small, and said that Apple thinks the 10-inch size is the minimum to create great tablet apps.
If anything, perhaps Apple will offer a bigger iPad before it offers a smaller one.

How thin can the iPad 2 get?

The next iPad will almost certainly be thinner. The existing one feels pretty hollow, so we think Apple could save some space on the inside and make a thinner iPad.

RIM promises that its BlackBerry PlayBook will be 10 mm thin, or roughly 1/3 thinner than the iPad. Samsung's Galaxy Tab is a hair thinner than the iPad, too.
Apple has a habit of making things unbelievably thin, like the original iPhone, and the iPhone 4, and the new MacBook Air. So look for Apple to really wow people here.

What about the guts?

We anticipate the iPad's processor and video technology will get a speed boost in the next edition. But perhaps more important would be more RAM, so that you could do things like keep multiple web tabs loaded at the same time.

Expect Apple to say something like, "the iPad 2 is twice as fast."

What about the back?

Apple's portable device lineup has a wide range of back materials. The iPad is a brushed aluminum. The iPhone 4 is glass. And the iPod touch is a shinier metal.

What will the next iPad use? The current one isn't as easy to hold on to as it could be -- a little on the slippery side. So a flat glass back like the iPhone 4 might be an improvement.
But that might also add weight to the device. And the curved back of the current iPad makes it thinner at the edges, giving it an overall sleeker look and feel. So perhaps Apple will leave this alone.
Less likely, plastic, like the iPhone 3G used. This would probably feel too cheap.
Also: How about colors?

What about the software?

The iPad finally has iOS 4.2.

But what's in store for the next iPad and iOS 4.3 or 5? Maybe the newsstand that Apple is reportedly developing with publishers? FaceTime is an obvious inclusion.
Maybe a huge upgrade to Apple's Ping service, which makes it more of a social network -- with its own app -- for sharing everything, including apps and photos?

BONUS: iAds for iPad?

With some impressive media apps in the App Store -- ranging from Wired to Flipboard -- it seems inevitable that Apple will create an iPad-specific program for its iAds advertising business.
This may take a bit longer -- iAds are still slowly rolling out for the iPhone -- but it's possible it could be available by the iPad 2 in 2011.

So, when's it going to launch?

If Apple goes for the usual 1-year release period, the iPad 2 could launch in April.
But it's possible that it could happen earlier. Some reports suggest the iPad 2 could ship as early as February.

Now, what about the iPad's new cousin?
