Apple: Dow Jones Mulls the iPhone

Oh my....Caesar is going to cross the Rubicon?

Will Erik become a cheerleader with the rest of the Fanboyz? { ... or maybe stop listening to certain unnamed "anal"-ists? }

Yes, Virginia, there really IS a Santa Clause in Cupertino!

Research In Motion vs. Apple: The Smartphone Showdown

Oh, one more thing. ALL my apple products are now free. Howzzat you ask?

Started buying around 73, now hold 2600 shrs. So now I make money by loving the products too, and ain't THAT a sweet one?

Apple Hype Priced In - Stop Trading! (6/9/08)

>>>Motorola and Nokia, please deliver us from unfair practice and mediocre products. <<<

Uh, last year, about this time there WAS NO iPHONE....

So, tell me again how they are the "good guys" and your "white knights?"

Honestly, some people are BORN to be drama queens.

Palm Girds for a Smartphone Comeback

>>>I don't know what would be involved in getting eight years's worth of Palm history transferred seamlessly into an iPhone, and I'd rather not find out if I don't have to!<<<

I guess I was wrong then...

One vote for DINOSAURS, time to buy now!

Yes, I did forget that some people are "Legacy Lovers" and are still using DOS.

{ sorry, couldn't resist the cheap shot...me bad. }

I have a wonderful DELL Axim, complete with a few cases, and all the accessories in GREAT shape if anyone wants a deal. Email me.

Palm Girds for a Smartphone Comeback

NO OS X

NO groupies

NO iTunes Store

NO physical Stores

NO FUTURE

It AIN'T THE GIZMO that sells Apple, it is the EXPERIENCE and the SYSTEM and the CODDLE THE CUSTOMER environment.

Heck, ALL along, the GIzmo's of the other guys were every bit as good, often better.

It is the SYNGERY, of the panache, cool factor, and sheer blinding speed of innovation, packaged up like a little Lamborghi that you actually can afford.

Palm is playing catchup going 75MPH now, but the train it is chasing just accelerated from 125MPH to 150MPH with the 3G phone now being released in SEVENTY countries, and 20,000 APPS in the pipeline including TOM TOM and the others to make that thing into a FULL PLATFORM of media, phone, music, games, enterprise, PDA, and bottle opener.

AT&T Subsidy of Apple's iPhone Would Have Dramatic Effect - Bernstein

AGAIN.

Everyone looks at the "nits" counting this segment, vs that segment.

It is *THE SYNERGISTIC SYSTEM©™" that makes this puppy so adorable. Forget this or that, it is the "BORG EFFECT©™" at work here, everything is ASSIMULATED, added to the total, the stores feed the product, the iPhone feeds the system, the iPod feeds the system, the OX feeds the system, and EVERYTHING works, works on the first try, works together, and the INTERFACE to everything is so close, that you learn ONE, you have basically learned them all.

I have been a TECH NUT for 30years now, and have seen them all come and go, but I have NEVER EVER seen RABID slavish adoring passionate opinionated FANBOYS and GALS as deeply in love with, and committed TO the APPLEBORG©™ intake system. I mean, what other company has people standing in LINE all night long to buy whatever new product is coming out? Who gets the amount of pre-release HYPE for anything and everything that AAPL does, sure every now and then, a "hottie" gets legs, that is the EXCEPTION but for this crowd, they follow these things like "Parrotheads" with Jimmie Buffet tours.

This is like a snowball rolling down a hill now, every few feet it rolls, it gathers up more mass, more momentum, and becomes more and more formidable.

Just about the only thing that could put the Kabosh on this now, is the early demise of one skinny turtlenecked aging geek.
