If Apple sold as many iPebbles in its first year as iPads in their first year

Don't know. People around here think Microsoft is dying because of the non growth in most markets. Are you comfortable with Apple being Microsoft?

Me? Why would I care?
From a stagnation standpoint. Would people here, in general, want Apple not to grow market? It's not even like a single Windows/Android vendor where if a single company fails to deliver, there are dozens ready to take their place. If Apple doesn't grow iPhone/iPad market share, iOS stops getting more than a few big third party developers and suddenly it's 2001 again.

In comparison, Microsoft isn't doing too poorly. Even if their Windows Phone initiative crash and burns, they still have a huge chunk of the desktop computing space, a decent chunk of servers, a lot of software services that are multi platform, and even the Xbox. With Apple, iPad sales have been down, and if iPhone sales start to tank, it's over. Everything is geared to ecosystem and the biggest ecosystem grower is the iPhone. I don't think that would happen, but you have to be careful. Even the brand loyalist have been known to get restless, witness the late 90s flight away from the Mac.
Sure, Nathan, sounds good.
