Does a Mobile Internet Devices Market Exist? [view article]
Let's have a look at the current situation. If I want something powerful with a large screen, I buy a desktop PC. If I want something to work outside and that fit in a bag, I buy a laptop. If I want something to browse internet and that fit in my pocket, I buy an Iphone. The MIDs you are talking about are too large to replace a phone, and too small to replace a laptop. A mobile device is either to receive information, in which case it can be as small as the Iphone, or to create information, in which case it must be large (13" laptop typically). Do you imagine writing a word document or creating a powerpoint presentation on a 4 to 6"" screen ? ReplyDoes a Mobile Internet Devices Market Exist? [view article]
DanielRead the post again. As I said, you can choose whether or not to include the iPhone in the "MID" category depending on how you define the segments. You can call it a small MID or a large smartphone, or both, depending on your preference.
And as you yourself say "it's redefining the cellphone market". I'm not talking about the cellphone market, I'm talking about MIDs.
Honestly, I'm getting fed up with iPhone fanboys trying to read criticism into anything I wrote about the thing, particularly when I'm praising it. I've repeatedly said its a good device - it's just a shame about the attitudes of some of its fans, who seem to go actively looking for negative comments, where none are made or implied.

Are you nuts? You're certainly out of touch. The iPhone is the preeminent Mobile Internet Device. It's redefining the cell phone market because it does more. It allows you to do more, or if you are not disposed to that level of activity it certainly provides more info and entertainment. ReplyAMD's New CEO Confronts Company's Challenges [view article]
I am buying AMD now $5.40. I like the fact that 42% of their revenue came from China, while main rival Intel only had 13% of revenue from China. AMD will benefit from the change in exchange rates, as well as their product lineup strength is price/performance compared to rivals from Nvidia(graphics) and Intel(CPU's -especially on servers). Additionally their future lineup looks more promising than rivals. Puma chips with high end integrated graphics are expected to be a hit when they come out next year.

DRM is one thing, the digital format is another, but more important issue. As long as movies are available in a non-propriety good quality format, Apple will be happy to use their standard. That is, as long as microsoft can't embrace and extend it. ReplyConsortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple [view article]
I'm not sure I follow your reasoning that this consortium is a benefit to consumers. I spy Microsoft in the mix of companies and media producers. IF Microsoft GENUINELY wanted interoperability then they could have done so years ago. Going on prior behaviour (Has everyone gotten amnesia lately?) I'm not the least bit confident that MS has any intension but to link 'primary' interoperability to it's products alone. Yah, they might allow basic video viewing at 240x320 on non MS gear and OS but to get the full rich experience you need to sun 'Windows Media Deluxe Professional Corporate Mega Homestore OS' version 12 ReplyConsortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple [view article]
Yes, wake up, but keep quiet and just sit, & wait & see.All this argues won't help. Reply

Hey guys, wake up!! The horse has left the barn, Apple has taken the market. What you are doing is just locking the barn door. Face the facts! ReplyConsortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple [view article]
Instead of finding solutions that their customers want, these guys are trying to engineer a solution that addresses their needs only. Consumers will simply ignore them or just find a way around it. Anyway since MS is part of the consortium, you can be sure it won't be open or they will find a way to retain control.

This consortium approach smells more like the formation of an illegal Cartel for entertainment. The FTC should take notice of this collusion!!! ReplyConsortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple [view article]
Apple's Fairplay DRM is an optional service to content owners. Since it is proprietary, Apple can both make guarantees to content owners (if security is breached, Apple can force an update to every device wanting to load new Fairplay content), and offer consumers a fair deal (DRM'd content never dies; there is no "keep alive" callback to headquarters required, unlike other systems with guarantees).The problem with a shared open standard is that once it's cracked, it can't be repaired, and content owners can't be compensated. Therefore it can't compete with Fairplay as an attractive DRM for content owners.
Apple does not in fact demand a monopoly on distribution; but only to distribute on its own terms.
The final solution some years hence may be that Fairplay is licensed broadly by means of Apple chips embedded in devices from all manufacturers.
The paradox for content owners is that no-one wants content until they are aware of it. An owner will pay to get his song on radio, yet wants paying for a consumer to hear it on demand. An industry wide "open" DRM is destined either to be cracked and bypassed (like DVD), or its protected content to be ignored and forgotten by consumers.
The industry needs to cut a long term deal to license Fairplay, in exchange for giving Apple distribution of its content. Reply

Erick,Hate to break it to you, but this is Msft trying to take over DRM. Haven't you noticed?
Msft has failed (till now) with its crapware, but just wait until the new standard is announced! What a surprise when this thing appears to be somewhat advantageous to msft! Who'd a thunk?
Msft leading a collusive attack on it's enemies (In this case Apple and Disney.) is Msft doing what it does best.
Apple innovates the future.
Msft innovates collusion. Reply

It will have to be good. Really good. Which it won't be. Just as all those other useless alternatives to iTunes for music were decimated - by having no customers.
If this is another Microsoft like tactic, to artificially engineer the take down of Apple, it will only fail.
Just as the Music labels are failing at slowing iTunes by denying them DRM free music. (Funny thing is that the music labels are engineering the lock in to iPods which is exactly what they say they DON'T want!).
Net result of all this will be another expensive fail. Reply

Fairplay DRM sucks? Apple would be delighted to drop it if the labels would let them. As for the Apple store and the ipods, the market has spoken. They like it. The consortium is a joke. Poor Microsoft and their Zune. Another joke. ReplyConsortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple [view article]
You may not like Apple's DRM - but it sure is a whole lot better than what we had before. The only choice you had then was to buy a CD or download illegally!That was the deal the music companies made. We will sell online IFF you can protect the product from illegal copying. It's worked fine for me. Reply
