And here is a preview of what to look forward to in 2007:
- Unveiling of the much rumoured Apple iPhone at Macworld in January
- Release of three new iPods, with a debut also at Macworld
- Release of the Leopard OS with new features like...Time Machine-regularly backs up everything on your Mac, Mail 3-with new options to create invitations, travelogues, letters and more, iChat - chat from virtually anywhere with video backdrops, Spaces -organize your windows into different groups, i.e. work, play, communication, creation, Dashboard - new widgets!, Spotlight- tool to search across network-mounted folders...
So, with this much to look forward to, Apple's shares continue to rise in anticipation of its future success. So, buy, buy, buy! Just kidding, but seriously, keep an eye out for all of the new things Apple is bound to come up with, because with a philosophy like, "What do you do when you reach enlightenment? Keep Going!" innovation never ends.
