Does a Mobile Internet Devices Market Exist?

Seems to me the iPod touch w/ its 3.5" screen expanded to 5" would be perfect and dominant in the MID space:

- added 3G connectivity to ATT and tMobile
- Expanded graphic keyboard
- More Multitouch gestures
- Wifi (Skype) phone/video capability
- All the iPod touch functionality, reliability, security, usability, coolness, and 100s of Apps

No one else can go there. Instant executive, mobile, college, teen (and military patrol!) must have device priced at $150 above current touch pricing.


Got iTablet killers? Not for a couple years, my friends.

Consortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple

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.

Is an iPhone Air Hybrid in the Works?

mlambert890,

There's a ton of $$$$ to be made on being long (long term) with Apple. You ought to take a clear look at what makes this stock tick (assuming you really are an investor).

If you're in it for the $$$$ take good note of Apple's:

- world leading retail, customer support, and brand

- dominance of downloaded music and mp3 players

- exploding uptake of notebooks, desktops, and mobiles

- growing consumer and business movement from WIndows to Mac OSX

- wheezing, near death, Vista

- Google and open source distracting msft from targeting only Apple

- Msft declawed by legal concerns

- iPhone going viral in 53 (and counting) countries w/ 600M subscribers

This list is not exhaustive. Why don't you take another look and consider betting on the long side?
