      It is also sure to bring out the 'Fruity' haters in their droves as well.

      Hmmm, Great for the Ad hit counts ???

      "peak Apple"

      I think at this point that despite Apple stubbornly refusing to show any proof that it has "peaked" the Reg figures they'll keep playing because eventually they'll have to be right. Well, providing the Reg is still around to witness Apple's decline, that is :)
