AAPL trading is crazy choppy. But still outpacing the markets.
Kicker #1 is release date. After that, who knows what AAPL will do through Friday.

The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.

Thanks, Steve. -
okay, down 2 since we last spoke. or is it 1.
-
Engadget notes: there is no NFC which most of us in the AFB also did not expect to be included.
-
Speaking of tech snobs, no there isn’t NFC, wireless charging, or micro-USB. Who’d you think this was.
NFC - not mainstream, OLD TECH (See: Lightning)
Wireless charging - not mainstream, STUPID tech in current form (See: dumb inductive charging, would add bulk/cost, stuff like WiTricity is still too new, not like the S III does it)
Micro-USB - Apple owns iOS, you better believe it won’t cave to industry standards for charge/sync.

Yup, ships on the 21st! A nice aggressive launch. As for GB capacity, keep waiting for more standard memory…who knows when a base model will exceed 16GB.

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts.

20 countries next _month_? You mean next _week_ Engadget. Oh yes, Apple intends to ship a BUNCH of those iPhone 5s before the end of the fiscal quarter.

Ah, and to think iPad mini is 90% sure to be around the corner! Happy thoughts.
Since we’re talking iPod and iTunes, AAPL is sure to tank. Oh well.

20 billion songs ! Where’s that spreadsheet.
-
I’m wondering if the EOs are going to try to take the stock down again in the event the Mini isn’t mentioned. Choppy trading indeed.
-
Lines are already forming in Hong Kong and Singapore.
How many can Apple ship in nine days?
-
Interesting - the $99 iPhone 4S is 16GB - it hasn’t been changed to 8GB like previous years models have been.

iPod Nano getting an update. Here’s the link, but probably not the new one

The new iPod Nano is a grand slam homerun in the making. Of course, it doesn’t matter much to the overall picture for AAPL but it will sell a shitload of units.
-
AAPL still active. 665-666.
NEWSFLASH: SIRI FOR IPOD TOUCH.
I wonder if my current generation iPod touch will handle it.
