Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

I know, let's get Mercedes to offer us a car at the price of a Skoda while we're at it.
Has it ever occurred to you that Jobs/Apple may not need to keep increasing market share? They have plenty of money in the bank, unlike many companies in IT.
And what is market share anyway? I have a couple of Wintels and Lintels. I keep using my iBook - here, Apple has 99% use (I only use the other butt-ugly machines to check the odd web-site) and only 20% market share. How many other Win/lintels are just lying around doing nothing? Market share is a concept developed by marketing drones and bean counters to justify their sorry existence.
People will always buy Mercedes/BMW (etc.) not because they're cheap, but because they are expensive, high quality products. I know my Mac costs more, but it's a pleasure to use. Call me elitist if you will, but I'm certainly not a pleb.
Cheers
