Mac (or iMac), iPhone, YouTube and the rest of the world


Hi everyone! Well it has been a couple of weeks since I last wrote. I was recently at the unveiling of the Mac and the new software updates that Jobs put in place. So my thoughts.....as I listen to the Chili Peppers as I write

The new Mac. Looks good, smell goods and works great. OK. So what is the hoopla about. Well silly rabbits don't you know that the aluminum casing is so cool and keeps the aliens away. You all know that I think Steve Jobs is from another universe. The man is just to dang smart for us mortals to understand. (By the way you think Jobs is smart? You ought to speak with Larry Ellison about databases.... Man he will blow your mind). Anyway, the new Mac is pretty and cool. Go figure. Let's dig deeper.

The new Mac is beefed up with more processor power and the ability to handle more "video" content than before. Ya'll key in on the "video" word here. Why? You will see later.....The Mac is also coming with Numbers to keep up with Microsoft's Excel. Hell both of them are work well but I still love the Mac. Other then that well not much else to report except that beefed up processor power.

Pay attention big house analysts! Here is the skinny on why Apple did this to the new Mac. The new Mac will now be the hosting center for all the video applications that are in place. YouTube, Break.com, etc... What will happen is that these Mac's will be able to host and play thousands of video's and be the hosting center for those who have iPhones, Apple TV or other cool future release Apple R&D products. Wait what is a hosting center you ask.

Apple is building a mother ship to host and hold the future of technology. This is video. A iPhone, iPod, Apple TV etc just do not have the capacity to hold all the videos that will be the future of technology. When I say videos I also mean video email (analysts write this down) and video books. Think picture albums here. These applications will take a lot more horsepower to manage. Apple is setting themselves up for success with the new Mac. Oh did you see how Cisco is partnering with Apple on video technology? Gotta love this partnership.

So there you have it. Apple releases the new Mac and new software applications. Apple makes the basic Mac's more powerful and nobody even picks up on this. This is why the Apple investors read my blogs. Not to forget, let's chat about the iPhone before I go. Um, have you ever seen Youtube.com? If not go now! Have you ever seen video email? No, well get ready. Your iPhone will have it soon. Why is this cool? Can you imagine being able to watch a message to you and see the person and the body language vs. reading a text message? I can!

I tried to warn you in my post on July 29(when AAPL was ~$144) that you were a tad too optimistic. While the problems we are seeing aren't directly related to AAPL, we will see AAPL continue to fall with the broader market. However, it will represent a great buying oppurtunity, just not yet....
