Apple’s share of the enterprise market has stalled south of 10 percent and, although worth billions, it probably won’t be growing in any big way any time soon. The villains? Corporate IT departments, of course, which can’t see the dollars for the cents, which is the argument of old — Macs cost too much and are too much trouble.
The Apple App Store, famous for its huge popularity and rapid growth, is seeing the prices of its apps rise precipitously, a trend which at least one analyst feels will continue to accelerate.
With federal investigators looking into Apple’s rejection of Google Voice, as well as a gentleman’s agreement between the two companies not to hire away each others’ employees, the Cupertino, California-based maker of computers, media players and smartphones may be seeking to disentangle itself from the search giant by creating a mapping service to replace Google Maps on the Mac and iPhone.

When the one-time smartphone market leader announced its Pre handset could sync seamlessly with iTunes, some pundits speculated that Apple might allow the infraction, giving their dominant digital music marketplace a competitive veneer. So much for that bit o’ wishful thinking.
In pattern of events almost as old as the personal computer itself, a business model perfected by the Cupertino, California-based Mac, iPod and iPhone maker is being “embraced” by the company’s old rival in Redmond. As always, the software giant is blatantly ripping off cribbing quite liberally from Apple, even going so far as to build “Guru Bars” into its yet to open chain of retail outlets.

It’s gonna be a touchscreen with built-in cellular wireless and use one of the company’s very own home grown P.A. Semi processors with two price points below $1,000.
