This week, Jeff and Bryan take a look back at 2008 and how the year played out for Apple. 2008 was the year of the iPhone, the Mac's market share was on the rise even as the company's stock value dropped, public focus shifted away from the iPod, Steve Jobs's health became a hot topic, and it also turned out to be the year of the App Store.
