The reason this term is in the glossary is because way too many people confuse “Apple” with “Macintosh.” Apple is the company that makes Macintosh computers — not the other way around. Apple’s product line includes Power Macs, PowerBooks, iMacs, iBooks, and the popular hard drive-based MP3 player, the iPod. Apple also develops a large number of software programs, such as iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD. Notice a pattern here?
Though most of Apple’s product names now start with the letter “i”, the company has a history of creative innovation. Though Apple has less than ten percent of the marketshare in the computer business, the company still manages to lead the industry in new directions.
