Most Admired Company…Any Guesses?

Apple has been around for a long time, but it wasn’t until the last three years that they became the most admired company according to Fortune.
Does anyone disagree? Perhaps, but the numbers sure agree. Over 250 million iPods, 43 million iPhones, 32 million iPod touches sold to date and still too early to tell how many iPads will be sold.
Apple won this year’s vote by the highest margin ever for the number one spot. This puts Apple only two years away from tieing GE for most appearances in the top spot.
But why do people love Apple so much? One word: Product. Think of how much Apple has changed. They have changed the way we listen to music, design products and how we engage with the world aroudn us. They lead the market and we see copycats following suit after each of their products.
With this kind of trend, I won’t be surprised if we see a repeat next year.
