I have mixed feelings about Apple’s new focus on consumer products. While they still make the coolest-looking stuff around, their core business is (or was?) computers. With the announcement several weeks ago of the delay in shipping Leopard, there has been speculation that Apple will concentrate on producing and marketing more consumer goods, like iPhone and, presumably, future generations of iPods, more additions to the ITMS and more integration with your TV.

In spite of a rumor that caused Apple’s stock to plunge, the FCC’s approval of iPhone may bring it to the shelves by June.
