And the secret of using the visual keyboard of an iPhone is yo look at at the screen as one type and not at the keyboard. Once you master that it is easier than a physical keyboard.

Anyway innovation by both companies will only benefit the users but one company will mine all your personal information when you use their phones. So choose wisely.]]> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:18:41 -0500

It is hard to believe Jobs and company are that stupid to repeat their mistakes of the past - bear in mind the problems years are when Sculley was in charge.

Do you really believe that they, who have engineered the biggest turnaround of a company and now with more than $30b in the kitty, will shoot their feet again.

Jobs and company will ensure that they will survive the war and btw making money is more important than market share but the problem is tech bloggers and financial analysts are blinded to this fact.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:59:38 -0500

The problem with Apple share is it's the shorts' favourite stock and has been for years. They made and make great profits all the time. These shorts also have analysts on their side helping them with damning reports such as those of Kathy Huberty and Toni Sacconaghi and a slew of tech bloggers like Scotts Moritz, etc..Remember how Cramer outlined his idea of shorting Apple shares on the Daily Show.

Some companies like RIMM and AMZN are loved by the wall street crowd and they will at the slightest excuse push their prices up - don't you find it amazing that AMZN P/E is 70 and they are not fazed by it whereas Apple at 30 people are already complaining.

I too get annoyed when Apple cannot hold their shares above $200 but then with all the forces against Apple I am surprise they are holding pretty well above $190. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:45:51 -0500

I really don't know myself but I just buy Apple stocks because I have faith in Apple that they will keep coming out with great products.

With only 4% of the world's computer market and 13% of the smartphones market they have huge potentials. Not forgetting the ecosystem of tying all the products together and an OS that laid the foundation for future potential expansion and last but not least the $1B server farm in NC. Is Apple clueless about where they are going?

With their proven track records and vested interests I don't mind putting my bets on Apple.]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:50:19 -0400

The churn rate is low because of the contracts the subscribers had signed with VZ and they also inherited 13 millions customers from Alltel (without which ATT would have the most subscribers).

VZ cripple phones to save bandwidth and most of their users don't surf the net because of the crappy user experience. Wit the iPhone VZ may also experience the same problem as ATT because of the consumption of bandwidth.

And why should Apple make a CDMA phone when there is no future in its future?

By the way selling in other markets more than make up for the loss of sale without VZ. ]]> Sun, 19 Jul 2009 22:26:40 -0400

They have the software for almost everything we need for computing and it is only a matter of time before they start to port everything over to the iPhone platform.

The iPhone platform is most ideal for cloud computing, switch on the hardware, open an app and start working anywhere and anytime.

They tooted that Apple should make netbooks because that's where the market is but netboooks are good for market share but lousy at making money.

Then they say Apple should cut the price of their computers then they say their margins will be hit.

They say iPhone should be sold at $99 and now they say it is not good enough.

They are a schizophrenic bunch who talk rot and yet make a great living and all their wrong guesses which impact the market are not taken to task by the SEC.]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:21:26 -0400

Can a cut of 1600 personnel from their retail division can have such an impact on gross margin so if they cut another 2000 will the gross margin go up by another 20%?

Get real, retail staff do not have that great an impact on gross margin especially when some of them are on a part time basis. The real impact will come from labour costs and components for their hardware and R&D and labour costs for their software.

In addition their cash hoard enable them to get their components at the best price.

iPhones sold 30m after 2 years in the market.

All Apple has to do is get over the inertia the IT department has by making a better product, the rest will be history.
