In an inane and poorly written speculative piece in 24/7 Wall St., Douglas A McIntyre writes:
The demand for the Apple iPad may be like the iPhone and iPod… Among current owners of Apple products thirty-seven percent said that “liking the Apple brand” was the main reason for their interest. Those numbers could translate into extraordinary sales of the iPad… Apple may have to quickly cut prices the way that it did with the iPhone to keep consumer interest in the iPad high. That will hurt Apple’s margins unless it can pass the costs of the price cuts on to its suppliers.
So, demand may be higher than expected, translating into extraordinary sales of the iPad, but Apple may have to cut prices quickly, and margins will be affected unless suppliers cut prices?
Yeah, right.
McIntyre’s ridiculous perspective is riddled with poor grammar, misspellings, and an apparent inability to understand how business works.
