Apple’s an incredibly secretive company. It likes to give the impression that it is its own separate world, governed by aestheticism and technological excellence. But what third party applications have a secret part to play in Apple’s big growth story?
Apple continues its established trend of outgrowing the rest of the PC industry, according to the latest IDC and Gartner PC industry data, with AAPL grabbing near 10 percent of the market, driving the company to make new and significant gains in enterprise markets…

The Loop reports that Apple seems ready to address the iPhone 4 issue. It will be interesting to see what they say.
Apple on Wednesday invited select press to a special press conference to be held this Friday in California.Apple would only say that the press conference would be regarding the iPhone 4. No other information was available when I spoke with them tonight.
Interesting. You don’t call a press event to announce free bumpers (do you?). This might be a big deal.
Well, it looks like software can’t fix hardware problems after all.

We’ll update when we try it out for ourselves (anyone else having very slow iOS downloads?)
Today, Apple has released iOS 4.1 for developers. The SDK and a beta install for iOS devices is now available. We will update with new features as we find them, including antenna fixes.
Ouch! Comparing Apple’s iPhone 4 to his own Windows Vista mess, Microsoft CTO Kevin Turner today ‘went there’. Yes, taking a swing at his own failure, Turner tried to say that Apple’s best selling iPhone ever is going to tank in the market. Let’s see.
“It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that,” said Kevin Turner, Microsoft’s chief operating officer, in a keynote speech at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC)… Earlier in his talk, Turner poked fun at the reception problems that have dogged Apple’s iPhone 4 since its June 24 launch. “One of the things I want to make sure you know today is that you’re going to be able to use a Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about how you’re holding it to make a phone call,” Turner said, referring to the Microsoft mobile operating system set to debut on smartphones this fall.
Microsoft execs have been pretty spot on in their evaluations of iPhone so far. In fact, let’s have another listen to Steve Ballmer prognosticate on the iPhone at its debut:

Fresh Changewave data tells us we’re seeing explosive demand for the iPhone 4 — 52 per cent of people planning to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days want an iPhone — more launch sales than ever before. This leaves RIM hurting really, really badly while Android stays strong, and webOS and Microsoft slowly dwindle away.
I swear, when I was younger, this guy used to crack me up. The bad news: When Letterman gets laughs at Apple’s expense, the issue has gone main-mainstream.
