Looks like the list is growing.

It looks very possible that Tony might outdo the stupidity of Woody's "the iPad will be another niche just like the Macbook Air" comment.
I'll make it multiple choice for you, Apple's earnings will most closely reflect this competitor:
A) April 6: Samsung Electronics Co. says it is expecting a record operating profit of $5.1 billion for the first quarter. It says the result would be a 97 percent rise from its operating profit a year earlier. Samsung estimated that its first quarter sales rose 21.6 percent from a year earlier. More details will come when Samsung releases its full quarterly results.
B) April 12: Google Inc. reports adjusted earnings and adjusted revenue that beat expectations. Google’s revenue was helped by a 39 percent increase in “paid clicks,” but the prices of its search-driven text ads continued to decline. CEO Larry Page called the first quarter “very strong,” but acknowledged there’s more work to do.
C) March 29: Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) reported revenue and profit that fell short of analysts’ estimates and said it will discontinue giving financial forecasts as demand for BlackBerry smartphones wanes.
Fourth-quarter earnings excluding one-time items fell to 80 cents a share and sales dropped 25 percent to $4.19 billion, the Waterloo, Ontario-based company said today in a statement. Analysts predicted earnings of 81 cents and sales of $4.51 billion, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. RIM also said Jim Balsillie, its former co-chief executive officer, has resigned from the board.
D) (old) January 31: Amazon's fourth-quarter sales results weren't awful, but investors went ahead and punished the stock severely anyway.
Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) earned $177 million, or 38 cents per share for the holiday quarter that ended December 31 -- more than double the 17 cents per share that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast.
But Amazon's revenue came in at $17.4 billion, missing the $18.3 billion that analysts expected.
In other words:
A) spectacular
B) good but with fundamental concerns
C) horrible
D) make earnings but miss revenue
Or your own prediction would suffice....
