Yes you (and the analyst) are correct, if Steve doesn't start giving dividends soon he will create a bubble that will suffer the moment the stocks drop even slightly.
2010/2011 may be the peak years for apple, as I perceive difficulty in maintaining its growth due to increased competition of alternative quality products, and the growing resentment of some of its policies from its own customer base, resulting in losing customers as fast as gaining new ones.
So in the second half of 2011 we could see a fall in apple share value resulting in sell orders if the dividend is not forthcoming, - having no stability as you stated.
Whilst I doubt that apple will fall massively, if I had AAPL shares I'd be pressing for a dividend too. Until then I'd be getting ready to sell within the short term, 8~18months.
