Are You Ready for Apple's Next International Opportunity?

The following video is part of senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker's "Tech Conversation" series, where he discusses trends across the tech investing world.

In today's edition, Eric looks at the week in Apple. Specifically, he drills down on a series of iPhone 4S launches in international markets like Russia, Taiwan, Brazil, and other Latin American regions. Apple's now truly a global company, collecting the lion's share of its growth from around the globe. In fact, between 2005 and 2010 Apple's earnings growth in its Asia-Pacific region stormed ahead 2,991%! That's significantly ahead of the 682% growth in the Americas region, which in its own right is a remarkable figure.

Not only that, but Research In Motion -- which is particularly strong across Southeast Asia and Latin America -- once again fumbled its earnings last week and pointed toward continuing weakening demand for its handsets. Launching the iPhone 4S in many of those regions allows Apple to strike one more blow against one of its strongest competitors.

Apple has ridden the mobile revolution to become a $354 billion company. However, the company is just one way to play this amazing opportunity for technology investors. The Motley Fool has a just released free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion Dollar Revolution" that details a "hidden" component play inside mobile phones that's also absolutely dominating the exploding tech market in the China market that has brought such great success to Apple as well. Inside the report we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Apple would soon become the first Trillion Dollar Enterprise in the world sending Rim to the trash bin 'Searching For Motion'. Rimm share price is dropping below $2.40 within a short timespan, there are really not any doubts.
