Apple’s 4th quarter earnings results and new level of cash reserves have quickly become well-known. See my last post.

I’m wondering though about the spin-off earnings Apple has created for other businesses? App developers, musicians with iTunes sales, iPod, iPhone, iPad accessory manufacturers, are making untold millions more because of Apple innovations.

There are even wide-angle, telephoto and fish eye lens attachments for the iPhone 4S camera. I doubt these add-on innovations will ever stop. I think it is all very cool!
