Market sucks, housing sucks, the economy sucks.

Go cheer yourself up at the Apple store. You don't have to buy anything, just look at all the people. The overwhelming amount of people.

Then cheer yourself up with the fact that over 1 out of every thousand people are browing the web *on an iPhone* only a few months after it's release. Keep in mind that is not 1 out of a thousand *phone* users browsing, but 1 out of every thousand users including users who are using computers with Windows, Mac and Linux.

To help put that in perspective, there are more people browsing the web with an iPhone than all windows mobile and Blackberry phones combined. The number is big Enough that it eclipses some less-popular computer operating systems. Of course, this does not mean that there are more iPhones than Blackberrys, but it does signal a very interesting change.

What you are looking at is a paradigm shift. And only one company has it right.

Get in now while everyone is afraid. You might lose a few bucks short term, but it will pay off long term.

Who knows... You might even make money short term with Macworld.

Cheers,

-Don
