@obrhoff apple is not near a monopoly if you see it globally. they own the most profitable part of their respective markets, but outside the us they are nowhere near a monopoly.

@Nfoonf @obrhoff the same dynamic Jobs describes still applies though, as Apple won't move down-market. Making a better iPhone won't result in better sales in the market segment Apple targets.

@defense @obrhoff apple is still a product and user driven company. They make their money anyway because they do not compete with price.
