I have been a stockholder for about a year... bought in when it was around $65/share. I panicked a bit when shares sunk last friday, put a limit sell order in, and it happened first thing this morning. Now that the release date has been announced and it's a couple of weeks later than I'd expected, I kinda' wish I'd held onto the stock another week or so, but... I made a great profit. So, I guess I'm happy.
Maybe I'll buy again in a few months after June 29 -- or after disappointment/media furor has subsided -- and the stock is moving upward again.
A small part of me fears that the iPod craze was just Apple being in the right place at the right time, and iPhone won't do near as well. (Recall how poorly their previous joint-venture music phone did -- I can't even remember the name. And supposedly AppleTV also isn't as hot as they'd hoped -- now Jobs is calling it a 'hobby'.) But, maybe that's just me. Apple has been a great stock to own.
