Barclays reiterates an 'Overweight' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), PT $450.

Barclays analyst says, "We continue to believe that Apple's valuation is attractive and that the shares can benefit from strong iPad and iPhone 4 demand, Mac share gains, significant international expansion, and a pipeline of new innovations...Our research indicates the iPad is picking up steam in corporations. The product can reduce printing costs, give medical data on the go and is showing up in more hotel lobbies. We believe that Apple is a major beneficiary of the "Consumerization of IT" as employees demand that personal devices are supported in the workplace."

"Apple may be working on a new low-end line of iPhones intended for sale this
summer. The new device is said to be about half the size of the iPhone 4 and would be available to carriers at about half the price of current iPhones."
