Wo! Cue some asshole analyst cutting Apple's target to $10? Come out from under your rock, Kathryn Hubbert!
Good luck finding apps among the 15k though! Also, is it just me or are some apps grossly overpriced? (HP-12 emulator which is basically a port of the ROM for $20? To mimic my HP-48/49/50, you need to get the HP-12 and HP-15 for scientific and business functions... which sets you back $40!!!)

While I don't think things are as bad as you imply, there's certainly work to be done to let the valuable apps bubble to the top better. How many fart noise generators do we really need? (I don't even need my phone to accomplish that!)
Well, we better downgrade the stock then! 12 month target is now 50.
It amazes me that Apple continues to grow like a weed, yet the stock does the opposite.
WTF
