As long as they can keep their stranglehold on mobile service providers (and their insane profit margins on the iPhone), I'm thinking yeah.

I'm not sure how long they can continue Jobs' legacy, though. We all saw what happened to Apple when Jobs left. Whether current management can maintain Apple's success, we'll know soon enough. As it is, I think Apple has lost some of its marketing flair. People might call Jobs a jerk and all but there's no question, love him or hate him, he does have a certain presence that get people to pay attention and is great at spinning things to his advantage.
