Apple 2010: 5 Key Events
CUPERTINO, Calif. (TheStreet) -- 2010 has been a busy year for Apple (AAPL), which saw the launch of the iPad, the new iPhone 4, and in a rare moment of bad publicity, a press conference to deal with Antennagate.
Apple's iPhone antenna problems, however, proved to be little more than a speed bump for Steve Jobs and Co. Apple is still seeing an influx of love, both on Main Street and Wall Street.
