Rick Shim, an analyst with market research firm IDC: "Even though these other products are getting headlines, Apple continues to refresh and innovate (its computer business), even when they don't have to. If they didn't put Leopard out, they'd still be doing well in the market."

Michael Gartenberg, research director at Jupiter Research: "If Apple is able to deliver on all of the stuff they are showing to date with Leopard, there is no doubt in my mind they will have another hit on their hands."

W.R. Hambrecht analyst Matthew Kather: "Despite an over-hyped phone, in our opinion, we believe Apple's business continues to accelerate and is firing on all cylinders going into December."

Scott Rothbort, president of LakeView Asset Management, an investment adviser in Millburn, N.J., that owns Apple shares.: "Certainly, you can't complain if you own the stock. As an investor, if you can think out of the box, you will see where this company is going."
