And it's hard to say what could be as satisfying as the iPod mini, nano, or shuffle. Or even the Mac mini. The only thing I can imagine delivering that kind of wow is the tablet.

Hopefully Apple has thought of things in ways the rest of us aren't imaginative to have dreamed up ourselves - and more wows are on the way.

That said - wow isn't everything. I'm very satisfied with my iPhone and my Macs. My Apple TV leaves me wanting certain additions, but even it has improved media consumption in my house.

I think the next big wow is coming in January.]]>

Apple Preview: A Non-Event for Wall Street? http://seekingalpha.com/article/160466/comments?source=feed#comment-667109 667109
I'm convinced no Beatles announcements will be made - the move from the normal Tuesday is simply because of Labor Day. Like in 2007.

Hard to picture anything as exciting as previous events, but Apple likes to surprise. The nano came out pretty soon after the mini - and people were blown away. So who really knows?]]>

Apple Dropped the Ball on an NFL Deal http://seekingalpha.com/article/157553/comments?source=feed#comment-640123 640123
You said the Apple TV has low sales. That's the point. NFL access would be an immediate and major boost to sales.

Yes, some people use Directv for all their channels. But some only use it for football. Directv has gotten a huge number of new subscribers by offering Sunday Ticket. I know plenty of people who have both cable and sat subscriptions.

Apple could do exactly the same thing DirecTV did - add users via the NFL.

No Apple does not have cable programming. But leaving cable providers is becoming a far more prevalent practice now with alternatives like Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, and other outlets. Every additional outlet loosens the grip satellite and cable providers have on the market.

Should Apple Spin Off Its App Store? http://seekingalpha.com/article/155118/comments?source=feed#comment-623932 623932
Everything you say about spinning off the App Store leads to it being Android. Well - Android is out there and so far it's not doing much compared to the iPhone.

A phone is far different from a computer in terms of user expectations for the OS. A phone is more like a Tivo in that sense - you just want it to work without babysitting it. Android has a lot in common with Tivo, but start spreading it onto hundreds of hardware devices and you don't know what you'll get.

Stripping the App store from Apple's protective walls would diminish the Apps' ability to just work. And so it's just another draw into the Apple ecosystem. ]]>

Go out on a limb, build a mobile phone when everyone insists you will fail, turn a maturing industry completely upside down, and spin it off immediately so you have no say in it anymore. Yeah, makes a lot of sense.

There's nothing to understand, the AT&T vs. Verizon discussion is almost pointless. AT&T works for you. It drops calls for me. It's geographical. I was in Miami a couple weeks ago and AT&T had full bars EVERYWHERE I went.
Here in Charlotte there are giant gaps in highly populated areas four miles outside the city center. I live one mile out and even here I fail to get a signal at times. Verizon never dropped calls for me.

That said, outside AT&T the iPhone 3GS surpasses virtually every expectation I had. Except the still-photo camera.

Should the FCC Force Apple to Stock Competitive Products in Its Own Store? http://seekingalpha.com/article/153174/comments?source=feed#comment-612908 612908
Google Voice is not VOIP. The calls are completed by making an outgoing voice call or receiving an incoming voice call. If you're using Google Voice to talk to someone using your mobile phone you are consuming your cellular voice minutes. It's not "freeloading" as you suggest.

SMS is another story. Google Voice can be used to completely bypass AT&T for SMS in the U.S. You don't need the app to do this, but it makes it easier and more convenient with an app.]]>

A Google Voice app is mostly a threat to AT&T's SMS business, as it allows sending and receiving of free SMS messages. Goodbye twenty dollars a month for unlimited texting. Indirectly, Google Voice as a whole is a threat as people can use their landlines for free long distance instead of chewing up cellular minutes.

With that in mind, I'm happy to see the FCC poke a stick at this. I doubt anything will come of it. But maybe someone besides Senator Herb Kohl will question why the carriers have established twenty cents as the cost of an SMS message when industry experts claim the actual cost is negligible. That price points to collusion by the monopoly carriers.

AT&T might rethink their whole stance: Google Voice could make using voice services bearable again, a goal the carriers have not lifted a finger to achieve. Voice minutes are hugely profitable, especially when the plans require purchasing more minutes than someone wants to use. I suspect Google Voice will lead to me using voice minutes more often. It would be interesting to know what AT&T thinks of that possibility.]]>

Wireless vs. Landlines: Past the Point of No Return http://seekingalpha.com/article/136416/comments?source=feed#comment-495199 495199
Same with the cellular industry. Why did it take Apple to force something as obvious as visual voicemail?

The landline industry has ignored the VOIP phenomenon going on around them - too slow to even offer new features as PAID services. And now Google is going to offer more than the Bells ever would have dreamed of charging us for - for free.

We never learn about monopolies. Time Warner wants to charge us for Internet consumption by use, fine. But they don't even have the means in place to tell us what we consume. Like other monopolies they're fat and lazy - they just want their check.

Google is taking these businesses apart - like the Fed should have.]]>

Why Apple Should Buy Twitter http://seekingalpha.com/article/135572/comments?source=feed#comment-491564 491564
HOWEVER - You're proof of a point I tried to make on appleinsider.com yesterday. Twitter can do the things you point out. And the door is open because RSS has not gained traction.

I know tons of people who waste time hopping from site to site in search of fresh news instead of just setting up RSS feeds in a reader. RSS intimidates them somehow.

Twitter? Like Jason - people have found ways to get the information they want.

To me - Apple would only buy Twitter if the cost per active user made sense. Otherwise they could do it themselves. Further, I don't think Apple would be interested in Twitter in its current state. They'd expand its functions. I don't know how many people use Apple's iChat. I know I don't. But I so use Twitter from time to time. (murphymac)

Anyway - there's potential in what Apple could do with Twitter. But I don't think they need to pay $700 million to get it. Someone should have learned a lesson watching eBay buy Skype.

Looks Like We're Still a BlackBerry Nation http://seekingalpha.com/article/133115/comments?source=feed#comment-477243 477243 - A lot of companies haven't authorized iPhone use yet. They will.
- Many companies are heavily invested in BB infrastructure. A change will take time. But it will come.
- Apple is positioning itself to undercut Microsoft with Apple Server products. Apple doesn't charge for client access licenses, MS does for server access, Exchange, etc. iPhone will help these conversions happen, starting with smaller organizations.

Like you said, plenty of people entered new contracts with non-iPhones around the time the iPhone came out. Now the iPhone has proven itself and those contracts will lead to another surge for AT&T beginning in July and padding iPhone sales for the rest of the year.

Based on the slant in your four short paragraphs you could have signed this "iPhone Hater".

"Once the Apple story gets old" Come on ! We're not even TWO YEARS into the iPhone! And Apple's F I R S T phone !!!

I don't think the "three bills" an iPhone requires are the compelling story either. What would be more interesting to ponder is an iPhone variant without a required data plan. An iPhone that was just a phone and an iPod, like the ROKR. But now that Apple knows how to make phones it could probably build something that would actually sell.

Does the negativity in this article have anything to do with the tablet TechCrunch is working on?

I think their late arrival in mobile will underscore their inability to innovate and mark the beginning of a steady decline.

NT was an incomplete copy of UNIX, (read Show Stopper) Zune is an uninspired copy of the iPod.
