Apple up 2 more points today, Microsoft is still sucking their kneecaps and the iPhone is still a big possibilty (for 2007)!

I am indifferent to Apple entering the phone market and hoped that they would not screw up a perfect Christmas season for IMacs and MacBooks with a phone.

They made no mention of the phone at their recent lovefest and everybody is happy.

More importantly, they have bought themselves 4 months to get a phone ready for 2007 and another great year.

With the market acting well, Apple skeptics galore, retail stores opening fast and christmas in the bag – Apple management can be proactive and not reactive.

According to Think Secret – the iPhone is coming with GSM friendly Cingular as an exclusive partner . Tristan Louis goes deeper with the story here .

Stop hating apple – it is not too late.
