Innovative premium products can be a sustainable business model if you have good people and invest in development. Most companies aren't willing to do that, preferring to pinch pennies and kill the golden goose. I have no doubt that Apple may eventually do that, but they have been on a pretty good run since the the iPod and iTunes came out. Supposedly they had some five years worth of products in the pipeline when Steve Jobs died. We will see what comes out this year.
