    this is sort of piggy backing onto what someone else was saying, but wow this is crazy, apple stok projected to be at $190 a share in the near future. Wow!

    iPhone 3GS owners are a happy bunch, strongly loyal to Apple, and it is innovation that continues to lure new buyers to the smartphones, according to a new survey.
    Not only did 99% of owners indicate that they are �satisfied� with their iPhone 3GS and 92% said they are �very satisfied,� nearly three out of five respondents (57%) are likely to purchase the iPhone 3GS for someone else in the future, according to the RBC/IQ ChangeWave survey.
    The most-liked features included the touchscreen interface, ease of use and third-party applications. Meanwhile, the top dislikes were AT&T�s network, short battery life and the fact that their IT departments don�t support the device.
    The August survey showed that 41% of iPhone 3GS buyers upgraded from prior versions of the smartphone. As for new iPhone buyers, 18% were from Motorola (MOT), 11% from Nokia (NOK), 9% from Research In Motion (RIMM), 8% from Sanyo (SANYY.PK) and 6% from Palm (PALM).
    RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky said the benefits to Apple for achieving this premium customer satisfaction include: strong pricing power, high customer lifetime value, powerful and inexpensive viral marketing, increased carrier channel leverage, as well as indirect benefits to Apple�s other businesses.
    He rates Apple shares Outperform with a $190 price target.
