This is a lot more thought-out than Phillip Elmer Dewitt's explanation that $100 was a nice round number.
The explanation below reconciles with what Tim Cook said about giving the young individual investor a chance to participate.
It's those huge fund traders who get to buy and sell before the market opens and after it closes that really suck.
Finally, an explanation for the Apple stock split that makes sense
...The protection we all get as investors, those guarantees that our orders will be handled at best market price and so on, only apply if we're dealing in standard lot sizes. Which means, in effect, 100 shares or more in any one transaction. And 100 shares in Apple at $500 each or more isn't something that the average individual investor is going to do. Whereas 100 Apple at $80 is still a weighty purchase for an individual but one that's going to have rather more people willing to consider it.

The Astonishing, "Disappointing" iPad
MG Siegler:
iPad sales did disappoint one group of folks immensely: Wall Street. As a standalone business, just based on the last 12 months of revenue, the iPad would be in the top 100 companies in the Fortune 500. Think about that for a second. The iPad alone is bigger than almost all Fortune 500 companies.
If the iPad is a fad, it's the greatest fad in the history of American business.
It's easy to point to "fewer iPads sold" and Chicken Little the story to death – as respected columnist Gassee and Mossberg have done. But it would still be wrong.

Florian Mueller has made a complete 180 degree about face to the dark side.
I can only assume that Google, Samsung or both are paying him to retract all of his earlier research supporting Apple's patent battles and now write opinions and propaganda to the contrary in their favor.
Very sad and pathetic
Google should further appeal the Apple-Motorola case: Federal Circuit panel was divided.
Copying is all that Samsung needs to do to work around four of Apple's five patents...
