An Apple a day, Keeps the doctor away


An a day, Keeps the doctor away..





I really dont know who said that, and i dont know if medically speaking that true..
But its true alright.. here's how..



Recently, Apple was voted as the worlds leading innovator. When i read that in the
newspaper, i thought to myself "Hmmmm, Now is that true ?" Well come to think of it,
they are...



These days the products that are selling like crispy hot pancakes, more likely than not
begin with an 'i' !!



Incase you are one of them people, who are new to this world.. and dont know what i am talking
about, let me spell them for you..



iPod, iPhone, iMac, iTouch, iTunes, iMini .....



and incase you are just curious to know what these look like..








My friend got the iPhone, very proudly displaying it all the time.. and why shouldnt he. Its one
hell of an innovation !



I loved the iPod when it was launched, i went crazy when they launched the iPod video,
i went ballistic when i saw the iPod nano & the i almost lost my mental balance when i
saw the iPod nano video.



To launch the iPod Apple used no fewer than seven types of innovation. They included networking
(a novel agreement among music companies to sell their songs online), business model (songs sold
for a buck each online), and branding (how cool are those white ear buds and wires?). Consumers
love the ease and feel of the iPod, but it is the simplicity of the iTunes software platform that
turned a great MP3 player into a revenue-gushing phenomenon.



The iPhone & the iPod almost did me in, but what blew me away the most is the latest offering from Apple.
"The MacBook Air". I look and i fell in love with it. Its not just a laptop, its one marvel of engineering.
Now it would be complete injustice if i didn't mention "The MacBook Pro" out here.




With such a smashingly great product line, no wonder Apple is the worlds leading innovator. They have
captivated people all over the world.



One thing to remember though, Apple just aint making innovative products, they are making money too !!



The 12 products you see on top there, these are just a few amongst the whole range. Now every day, even
if they sold just 1 product each of those 12.. they make $3,966,820.00 per year. In lay mans term, thats
4 million dollars. Now if every single person on this planet bought just 1 apple product, just 1.. imagine!
That might just give you an idea, how much money they really making.



An a day keeps the doctor away!



( atleast for the Apple. Inc shareholders & maybe you too.. all the Apple products i have, they keep me happy,
and happy man seldom visits a doctor)
