I think you're absolutely right about misconceptions on Apple's cult following. I'm preparing a list of the top 10 lazy journalists' tired Apple clichés, and that one will be right at the top :)macpredictionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11279417927951294556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403750530280856295.post-86114245624465354842008-01-07T07:59:00.000Z2008-01-07T07:59:00.000ZThis is not an accurate list. The #1 analyst misconception is that Apple growth is due to its cult followers whereas the truth is that the Apple fanboys now make only a small percentage of Apple's buyers as it gets more and more mainstream.<BR/><BR/>The second biggest misconception is that Apple products sell because of their eye candy. Analysts don't truly understand that aesthetics is only a small component of user experience and that product design is more about how it works rather than how it looks.Manu Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951983669844271992noreply@blogger.com
