Who remembers when Jobs came back to Apple and stated "whoever wins the digital home, wins the war". He was very smart pushing the iPod to the next gen because they are the future buyers.  He is an incredible strategist and whether you like Apple products or not, considering where he brought them from in the 90s, he is doing well. I have been involved with Apple and worked as a service manager for apple in the late 80s and without him, they wouldn't be around today.

I think that as mesh networking starts to become mainstream, with the eventual displacement of major servers on the backbone, you will see Apple start to see logarithmic growth.  If Jobs keeps this up, Apple will take back higher education and become a player in the corp space.   Who would have believed it would have originated from a mp3 player.
