I am a 52 year old Apple product nut.    I own almost every product offered by the company and love the product quality and support provided.    I am not a technical user --- but a busines user and have used Apple products for over 20 years.

I believe that Apple's market will incrrease modestly in 2008.     In part, I expect Apple to  be a victim of its own success. 

Increasingly, major players are taking Apple's success much more seriously.     In 2008 I expect that Apple will experience increased competition, stiffer terms from content providers & additional legal challenges from 3rd parties (contract issues/patennt infringment issues/product class actions) will start to take a toll on Apples overall business and resources and increase its cost structure.  .   

I am not suggesting that business will be poor for Apple.     I fact, I think Apple will continue to be a leading player.    But, I also believe that the honeymoon is now over --- and, like IBM and Microsoft before them, competitiors in the market now have Apple in their sites.
