First of all, I trust everyone had a Happy Labor Day. If you don't know why most don't work on the first Monday of September, it's worth a click and a quick read to learn.

Now, back to the subject at hand, how Apple finishes 2011 strong. FIrst of all don't expect much for the month of September in the form of product launches. September is the last month in Apple's fiscal caledar and historically Apple (like most other businesses) wait until the new quarter or new year to make such new product shipments. Whether Apple announces new product, such as the iPhone 5 in September, that's another matter. But for actual shipping product, October is going to be a very busy month.

This author expects to see the following:

  • iOS 5
  • iPhone 5
  • iCloud
  • New Air-like MacBook Pro

While that doesn't seem like a long list it isn't short either, and are going to generate buzz like never before. Items such as a newer version of AppleTV, iPad3 and updates to other Mac products will most likely need to wait until 2012 rolls in, but iOS 5 and iCloud in and of themselves should be amazing products that keep the competition drooling.

    I see that you are so excited about the iPhone 5 that you listed it twice. Or is that just a sign that you're overdue on the first coffee of the day?

    RE: James Yes, that would be pre-caffinated editing. Thx, ~Mark T-GAAP.com
