    Its unreal that Boing now has a yield of 12%. Have you done any work on adjusting the stocks on a monthly basis versus yearly? It seems ideal to drop IBM and add BA at this point. Reply

    The Google Phone: Blockbuster or Bust? [view article]
    Android = Linux. this will be more popular with tech geeks. Google has no ambition of being the windows of mobile phones. they just want you to use google apps and search on your phone so they can deliver ads to every phone platform, whether it be iphone, blackberry, windows mobile, symbian, etc Reply

    The Google Phone: Blockbuster or Bust? [view article]
    Google is self-serving. Its desire for openness is also in line with its desire to keep its search engine, and how it makes money, at the top of the heap. If Windows Mobile were to win in the mobile device market, then Windows could lock out Google from the next great platform.

    You wrote, "Google is positioning itself against Apple, which has bet on the iPhone's "locked" handset model -- available only through AT&T (T). In contrast, Google has championed an "open" model, not only by basing Android on open-source technology, but also in its successful effort to open up the 700Mhz wireless spectrum auctioned off by the F.C.C."

    This is so wrong. Google is aligning with Apple in a loose WebKit alliance supporting webstandards, against MS and proprietary ones. You do realize that Android and Chrome are built on WebKit. Adobe Air is also built on WebKit. Nokia's S60 is also built on WebKit. Safari is also built on WebKit. Guess who makes WebKit?

    Yep, you guessed it, Apple. Apple makes the rendering engine, powering all of those browsers and browser-based Apps. Apple released WebKit back to the open-source community.     Reply

    The problem with Google is that a lot of people (I for one) do not feel comfortable with the amount of data that they accumulate on the users. I really have no faith in my personal privacy with them.

    One may argue that Apple also (of necessity) gets data about you. The difference here, however, is that
    1- Google has a tradition of policies that make me leery of them, and
    2- In the end, apple is a hardware/software company and not particularly interested in making money off your data (especially if it would jeopardize their core biz by bad publicity). Google, on the other hand, LIVES by data - your personal data. OH yes - I do use google for search, but never will I get a gmail account.

    The second issue is this - Google gets its money back from advertising. Are people really going to want a phone that is so tied in to advertising? I am not sure to what extent it will be evident, but it could quickly become a sore point.Anything that diminishes the user experience is not going to fly!

    Hopefully the phone companies will be smart enought to understand that they will be commodities if they allow GOOG to gain a foothold.

    If Google gets is phone OS running a lot of phones where will that leave NOK Iphone ATT Verizon?
    Perhaps it will leave them selling airtime and tech only. Will brands grossly debased and hidden underneath a goog OS and range of "Skins". With goog pulling all the profit from ads, and the phone companies left scratching thier heads and wondering how they can compete with free phone calls for viewing and clicking through. Perhaps oops I will stop there, I just thought of a new model for phone companies.....


    Keeping the interface is core to keeping customers , otherwise you are just selling access.

    In a nutshell Goog wants wants to be the Windows of phones.     Reply

    Well, after seeing the early reports and pictures of this "iPhone killer," I'm more and more comfortable with my long AAPL position. Reply

    Google is not positioning itself against Apple. Its positioning itself against Windows Mobile and its lesser competitors. I'm not sure why people find this so hard to understand. Reply

    iPhone 3G Speeds: More Cingular Mediocrity [view article]
    How funny - the Jesus phone. Sounds like something coming from a Mac enthusiast, but then he disses the phone.

    The best part of an iPhone? Not owning one. I'll stick with my older Blackberry that NEVER quits, has been dropped on the cement, dropped in water, works with anything that I want to put in it, and always connects me. Sorry, I don't want my phone to be a toy, I want it to be a phone and contact manager. Add the calendar and I'm all set. If you have to be connected to the internet THAT much, seek professional help.     Reply
