nice post. thanks.
Very nice
thank you.
Thanks.Great Help
it is nice to see a 2 year old swot. And compare to what has happened in the last two years. Apple has no competition in the laptop field.
They overcame brand loyalty as a limiting factor (most of the iPhone users had no Apple product before)
Thumbs up for Adam for this analysis. Has some interesting aspects.
Thanks so much, it is so helpful.
