Hello there!

It must be great being an analyst…

Apple gets analyst upgrade as iTV features stealthily emerge

Nothing has emerged, stealthily or otherwise. What’s happened is an analyst has raised his share price estimates based on what he *guesses* the iTV will do. This is news?!?

These people get paid to sit around making stuff up! Brilliant.

He also stressed that the iTV video streaming product may have features “beyond streaming video content”. He noted the possibility that the device may have an internal hard drive and employ “advanced user-interface software”.

May have. May have. This clown doesn’t know a damn thing about what it is or isn’t. It’s a brushed-metal hat stand for all he knows. He has no inside knowledge, and if he did, Apple’s ridiculously over-zealous legal dogs would be all over him.

The analyst also observed that Apple will need to release “incremental products” early in 2007 to protect itself against the impact of seasonality on sales.

So a company will have to improve its products in order to compete. Fuck me, that’s revolutionary.
