Down 5.8% (-18.70) in AH trading: http://www.google.com/finance?client=ig&q=AAPL edit: whew, and seeming to stabilize around a 4.5% drop still leaving it above $300. I was amazed it broke $300 so easily last week and was afraid it'd fall back below with this drop.
Most interesting of the press release "We still have a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year."

Steve Jobs is just now highlighting Android’s “fragmentation” and discussing Android’s openness. He is also talking about upcoming tablets and their 7" screens. (Trash talking them, that is. No 7" screen from Apple anytime soon.) Ars Technica is blogging: http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/10/liveblog-q4-2010-e...

Select Q&A: Q: What do you think about the 7" tablets? A: one naturally thinks a 7" screen offers 70% of the benefits of a 10" screen, but this is far from the truth a 7% screen is only 45% as large as a 10% screen because the measurements are diagonal. This size isn't sufficient to create great tablet apps, in our opinion. One could increase the resolution to make up for the difference, it's meaningless unless the t…

I'm not saying Ballmers lying, it's just interesting to read the quote above after reading the article.

The internet generally refers to the communication infrastructure between endpoints. You can be all in on the internet and not care about the cloud. The opposite is more difficult though.
Also Steve's 7" answer seemed odd. The iPod Touch is a 3.5" tablet. He's saying that he can't figure out how to create a device that made good use of twice the diagonal?
The iPad sales are just staggering. Moving that many units of a product that didn't even exist a year ago, in a category that was long thought dead, is incredible. Identify an optimal user experience, polish the hell out of it, then perform an airtight integration of every single component, from end-to-end. The software and hardware, the content ecosystem, the physical distribution, all of it fits together perfectly.…
Apple wasn't always like that. Took a long time for that maturity and took a lot of centralizing power before everything came into being.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Actually the term "cloud" and "internet" generally mean different things. The cloud refers to services sitting on endpoints that you don't maintain (or likely don't own either). The internet generally refers to the communication infrastructure between endpoints. You can be all in on the internet and not care about the cloud. The opposite is more difficult though.

Jobs seems to believe that Apple shouldn’t fragment their product line any further. He seems to think that 3.5" (pocketable) and 10" (more stationary and more capable) are sort of local optima and that Apple should stick to those.

Not wanting to point out the obvious, but Apple is the leading seller of 3.5 inch tablets - the iPod touch.
