Can Apple Stop the Android?

Apple's got the hottest brand name in the world. They make the best the computers, mp3 players, smartphone and run the best on-line multi-media store and the best retail stores.

I know lots of people can't stand that. So they need to pit someone against Apple; and that would typically be Microsoft. But Apple's so systematically demoralized the MS folks that they now to find a new foe for which to pit Apple against.

So, who do they choose? A second rate software developer that's been successful only at developing search algorithms and sucks at actually writing everything else.

Hey, Apple's at the top and everybody else is looking up at them much like it's been for the past 30 years- turmoil or no turmoil.

Man up to it.

Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void

@Ted,

Think about all the trees, fuel and energy it takes to write all those newspaper. Then think all the trees plus energy we'll save by not publishing them. 50 million more trees per year means a hey of a lot of CO2 being absorbed.

Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void

The death of the printed newspaper is great thing for the environment- think of the number of trees it would save. The countless pounds of less trash that needs to be hauled around or finds itself in on the streets. If you want to read a newspaper, subscribing to a web edition or buying a Kindle is the way to go. Or if you're a Mac user, find the sight that reports want you want and use Apple's simple and elegant widget maker- talk about getting to the point.

As for Apple getting into the net-book market, I don't think so. The margins will simply not be there. Why make 3 or 5% on a product when you could make 30% or more on others??? Leave that to the Acers of the world.

What would be great, and maybe this would come with iPhone 3.0, would be if you could make a widget on your Mac, as described above, and then incorporate it as your own app onto your iphone. With this approach, apps can go from 25,000 today to millions in a month!!!!

Five Reasons Steve Ballmer Thinks Apple's a Buy

I'm interested in seeing the impact on RIM & Palm. When are they due to announce earnings?

How Big Will iPhone Gaming Be?

Sorry Google- no prizes for copying months or years later.

How Big Will iPhone Gaming Be?

I agree with this think_tom. The iPhone 2.0 software plus the AppStore will prove to be the biggest technological advancement of 2008 and for the fourth year in a row will garner Apple the much coveted prize as the world's most innovated company- as measured by Business Week. Others are free to differ.

@jsk:

Did you do web browsing on Motorola's Star Trac phones? They had "web" browser." Does the end-user experience and quality matter- you bet. Get real.

How Big Will iPhone Gaming Be?

Let's not compare the iPhone games to dedicated mobile gaming platforms- after all they can't tell how the weather is going to be tomorrow or how much your stock if worth or where to find the nearest Chinese restaurant and list goes on and on...........

How Big Will iPhone Gaming Be?

Why can't investors/financial types write an article on an Apple product without mentioning how it could have been Microsoft's had they been more innovative- hasn't it dawn on everyone by now that MS doesn't innovate they copy and don't even do a good job at that.

That said, I'd like to see Apple develop a new gaming platform altogether based loosely on the games available from the App Store. This platform will consist of goggle type device using thin LCD technology, being developed right here in NJ, that totally immerses the users in his/her own virutal world. This goggle will use an accelerometer and some type of hand held device to manipulate the gamers experience. It will have WFI built in and allow for multiple user experience via the net. It will be based on Core Audio, Core Animation and scalable to a device such as Apple TV.

Oops- maybe I've said too much. Bye.

Record Companies Starting to Shun iTunes

Hey, I know where to get really cheap music when it's not on iTunes. So, I'm not worried.

BlackBerry Bold vs. Apple iPhone: Two Very Different Experiences

BB = yesterday's technology in different package
iPhone= today's and future technology with huge potential

Let's face it; RIM is in for the fight of its life. Not just from Apple; but from all the other smartphones that are leaving it in the dust.

Should Apple Be Worth More Than Google?

But, I must add this: The blonde on the TheStreet.Com is hot!

Should Apple Be Worth More Than Google?

As a follow up to last e-mail. Check out the TheStreet.com's video on Apple's so called 3G reception. It's pretty obvious that someone made this guy make this video and even fabricate stuff about the % of people affected and the location. Wow! BT Barnum was right- there's a sucker born every minute: ABCNews, Wall St. Journal, USA Today and of course the lame TheStreet.Com

Should Apple Be Worth More Than Google?

Apple's strategy for now promises far more returns than does Google's and therefore it should and will be valued higher. And some people are saying that MS has a mktcap of 258 B. Well, I say let's just watch and see; because I think there will come a point in the near future that Apple will make a run at that too.

This will happen even if the Wall St types, MS & RIM fanboys keep spreading FUD about the iPhone and other Apple products. This week's FUD is about the 3G reception- what a load of crap and stupid journalism by the likes of ABCNews, Wall St Journal, USA Today and TheStreet.COM. Talk about lame reporting.

AppleTV Has a Lot of Catching Up to Do

Catching up to who? Apple's leading the way even with their less than stellar numbers.
