Will Apple's innovations and influence ever translate into market share?

The Boston Globe has one of those tech reporters that's overly-friendly with Apple, but even Hiawatha Bray can't ignore the obvious while paroting a theme I raised the other day in my look at Apple's performance in 2003. "Apple holds less than 5 percent [sic, it's under 2 percent actually] of the world's personal computer market, and is dwarfed by rivals like Microsoft Corp., Dell Computer Corp., and Japanese electronics titan Sony. But market share is one thing, mindshare quite another. Under Jobs, Apple has positioned itself as the 'thought leader' of America's high-technology sector, winning a reputation as one of the world's most innovative firms."
