Analysts: Macs will continue to take market share from PCs

Are you sitting down for this one? Good. Here goes: Apple is going to keep taking market share from "traditional PCs." I know, it's a real shocker. But so says Zacks Investment Research (which is not, apparently, run by a dude named Zack as you'd think). They say that consumers are enjoying Apple's innovations, and that a strong product line lead by the iPod, iPhone, and the MacBook Air will continue to increase Apple's business and give them a bigger piece of the personal computing pie. Who knew?

But Zacks isn't jumping into anything -- they still say that the iPod line will slow down over the next few years, so they're going "hold" with AAPL. Still, it's a good thing they told us about that marketshare thing. Without analysts like these, we'd have no idea what we're buying lately.

Why all the sarcasm?! They are a INVESTMENT FIRM! They're going to make a guess one way or another! That's their job! They made the right one, you don't bash them for that!

It's just that their 'analysis' is redundant. This has been a trend for some while now, so it only becomes important when it slows (significantly) or reverses.

"They say that consumers are enjoying Apple's innovations, and that a strong product line lead by the iPod, iPhone, and the MacBook Air will continue to increase Apple's business and give them a bigger piece of the personal computing pie."

The iPod and iPhone have little to do with your decision to buy a PC or a Mac, so I think this statement is misleading at best. Further, the Macbook Air is not a smash hit, I've even heard of people returning them once the novelty wore off and they realized that it was too compromised to do real work on.
