You're a Winner!


It was just yesterday that Apple had its 10 billionth iTunes download. The song- Johnny Cash's "Guess Things Happen That Way." Well for one lucky winner, I guess things do happen. The winner was a woman in Georgia who was rewarded with a $10,000 iTunes gift card. I am not sure what I would do with $10,000 iTunes card. Lets just say my music library as well as my movie collection would increase dramatically.
With people downloading iTunes songs everyday, there really is not another music player that can compete to that level. Apple is a company who is known for their value of products and features. They don't stop once somethings turns "big." They continue to work on the product to make it better and soon come out with new generations of products. They have a competitive advantage over their unique products such as the ipod, iphone, applications and programs. Apple is innovative and continues to expand their product lines as well as improving the features that go on those products.

An Apple a day...


When the word "apple" is spoken what are most people talking about. Are they discussing their fruit intake for the day or whether they prefer a red of green apple. If you are following modern times and technology, apple has a whole different meaning. Apple Inc. was founded in 1976 and has dramatically changed communication and entertainment. They are a leader in creative new ideas such as the iphone, ipod, Macbooks catered towards artistic individuals and now the new ipad. The ipad was just recently released and is a cross between a personal computer and a mobile device such as the ipod. This device may change the way some dedicated Apple users travel and conduct business. The screen is bigger than a smart phone or ipod and it weighs less than a macbook.
Apple is an international business that has strategically manufactured and designed their products for the everyday person and has 284 stores worldwide. Communication is very important and with their mobile devices, communication can be conducted anywhere. Apple does have competition with companies that produce mobile devices, but they come out on top. They are above Nokia, Sony, and Samsung. They are innovative and their sleek designs attract millions of customers worldwide.
