$175 billion in buy backs?! Wow, its expensive propping up the share price to keep Wall Street happy...<p>There is only so much hardware innovation, there are only so many people on the planet with $600 to spend on a mobile phone.<p>Apple should really move whole heartedly into services (as evidenced by revenue up 20%); build a gmail &#x2F; dropbox competitor - stop thinking of itself as a consumer hardware maker, that era is over.
