Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

I'm with you - but I think RIMM goes to Android or goes away- and this pains me greatly as I think they are great company, I just think the android software is that good.

Apple's Walmart Deal Will Effectively Kill Google's Android

I agree. WalMart is a brand cache killer. iPhone in WalMart looks to me like is a short term, greed play.

It will be interesting though, to see the iPhone brand morph into the "George" brand. I wonder if the iPhone carrying set will rush for the exits when their phone is no longer jewellery.

Plus - who is going into an Apple Store now ? MacGenius classes ? Really ? Is that why people go ?
