If you weren't thinking about buying Apple today, you should.

The Motley Fool's chief technology officer, Jeremy Phillips, thinks that Apple (AAPL -2.19%) is a screaming buy at $500. In this discussion with analyst Austin Smith, Jeremy addresses several of the most important questions that confront the company today:

How is Apple positioning itself for the coming "smart TV" revolution?
Did Apple handle the iPhone maps issue correctly, and was the issue overblown in the media?
How does the company's valuation compare to some of its key competitors (an "Apple-to-apples" comparison)?
