Prepare for the Tablet Wars

Tablet wars? I seriously doubt Apple will be introducing one anytime soon. Costs, battery runtime and weight are probable reasons keeping Apple from releasing one and running Windows XP on the PC side is reason why it continues to be a product failure on the PC side.

I would expect an Apple tablet computer that has a battery runtime of 6-8 hrs, weighs less than 3 lbs, no more than 8x10x.5" thick and can run both regular OSX apps and iphone apps.

BTW, that rumored Courier tablet from MSFT looks heavy and with 2 screens, would need a bigger battery than a regular laptop.

Sorry Zune, Apple's Won MP3 Market

"...including the ability to stream music over the Web to a PC. The Zune can also link to a television. Apple's Touch can do neither."

From Apple.com:
"Apple Component AV Cable
Connect an iPod to your television with the Apple Component AV Cable, gather up your friends, and watch videos or slideshows together on the big screen. You can also connect the Component AV Cable to your stereo or powered speakers for a room-filling audio experience."

You can also stream music from iPod Touch or iPhone:

Sorry Zune, Apple's Won MP3 Market

"Derek Stivers: While MSFT can afford to lose the Zune completely, AAPL would be lost without their iPod."

At least Apple makes money on everything they sell, unlike MSFT which loses money on Xbox and Zune sales. I don't see anyone else gaining ground on the iPod, it so dominates the mP3 player market that Apple competes with itself when they introduce new models.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Is Steve Ballmer a Diabolical Genius? (11/19/08)

Nothing new... baldhead Cramer gayfully kneels in front of his buddy and service him any chance he gets. The only "Fast Money" anyone gets is Cramer cashing in on his minions of loser subscribers.

Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

Xbox360 and the Red Circle of Death <support.microsoft.com/...; ?? This sounds more like a hobby than AppleTV. I'd buy PS3 with blue ray before I consider xbox.
