Rise of a GIANT

A few years ago no one really knew who Apple was. Most people thought it is a fruit distribution company. In a matter of years, Apple has become a household name, and people all over have started to replace their normal computers with a Mac. Software like Metatrader 4 is even being developed for the Mac platform.

More and more developers are converting their software to suit the Mac platform, and some are even specializing their products to only work on Mac. Apple have established themselves as a true giant in the industry with products such as the iPod, iPad and obviously their wide range of Mac computers. In the end, nothing says success better than money or financial figures. With the release of the new iPad 3, stocks for Apple have broken new ground. Just a day before Apple’s new iPad came available in stores the stock ticked up to $600.01 at Thursday’s open before selling off. The new iPad, at a starting retail price of $499 is relatively affordable compared with one share of stock.

There can be no question about the rise and success of Apple, the numbers speak for themselves. Even with the passing away of Apple co-founder and chairman, Steve Jobs, Apple have not lost any ground in the market. One might even say they gained more since his passing.

Moving forward, software developers should follow in the footsteps of the metatrader range with products like the mt4 demo account made specifically for the Mac platform as well.
