Hardware now - Media later

Biggest strides they have made...media!
iTunes - selling music & movies & tv
All their hardware is/can be connected to this revenue stream now - home computer, laptops, iPods, iPhones...Pixar?!

Look for apple to evolve into a stronger, broader, more competitive media delivery company - maybe develop a decent DVR and purchase a movie archive or take over Netflix and pump it through iTunes? DirecTV is just starting to do this through their DVRs.

Per the other poster - look for a mature market where the user experience sucks...cable boxes, DirecTV DVR, improved Tivo. It would have to be a box that connects to the home computer and links all TVs in a household. It irrites me that I have 2 DVRs on 2 TVs and I can't stream the content between the TVs easily.

I don't own an Apple since the switching cost is too high. I figure it would cost me an additional $700 in software I use regularly beyond the OS to get on to that platform and their computers are already expensive. I own and iPod and my user experience on XP pro has been fine.
