  • Apple Imitations: Just Like the iPhone, Only Crappier [View article]
    Zach "Imhotep" Bass has a point: Is Apple really the chief innovator in the mobile phone field? Or is someone else in the arena matching or exceeding Apple in innovation? (I agree with the general thrust of the article, but there must be at least a few counterexamples. Anyone?)

    PS: Sorry, Zach; that's the name that immediately popped into my head upon seeing the dashing photo. : )

  • Apple Imitations: Just Like the iPhone, Only Crappier [View article]
    Apple really did hit one out of the park with the iPhone (though it's still not perfect!). Can't wait to see how the world reacts on July 11, when 22 countries/regions simultaneously get the iPhone 3G. I expect continued great reaction in the US, but how about advanced cell phone markets like Japan, seeing it for the first time?

    It's going to spark a heck of a brawl in every market. Then we'll really see how the Apple competitors step up to the plate. (My fairly safe prediction: the competitors will come up with some surprisingly good stuff, but the iPhone will stay a step ahead.)

  • Apple's $199 iPhone Is a Game-Changer [View article]
    Brewer says: "All the news about Apple is good now and all the news about Microsoft is dire."

    SO true. That's the impression anyone gets from daily bits and pieces of news - but when you list Apple vs MS news stories side by side, it's really eye-opening. Like this: www.mactivist.com/wall

    No one will mistake that page for a complete or unbiased compilation of news; it's no one-stop resource for investment decisions! But it's interesting to ask: If one were to deliberately compile only positive MS news and negative Apple news, just how short would the list be? (Hint: Very!)

    While people (and investors) are picking up the "Apple is hot" story piece by piece, I think many of them are missing the scale of the quiet sea change taking place – with the iPhone, with media downloads, with the Mac in homes, schools, and even enterprise. That's fine with me, as I keep scooping up Apple shares in anticipation of the coming day when the world catches on to what's happening!
