As far as I'm concerned, it's not about which phone will win. Each person has their own likes, dislikes and preferences. Those who prefer Blackberries should be accorded an opportunity to buy apps. They now have one.

Get real. Stop the frivolous lawsuits.

I think if anyone should be faulted with performance issues, it should be AT&T. Coverage is spotty. But I get essentially the same 3G coverage on my iPhone as a friend does on his Nokia. Plus, the speeds are roughly equivalent on both phones. My friend, however, wishes he had waited a couple more weeks to get his iPhone (offered to trade - I said no...)]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:02:37 -0400 Come on. Get real. Stop the frivolous lawsuits.

With or without Steve, Apple is full of creative people who come up with spectacular products. Yes, Steve has health issues. Did anyone not listen to the conference call? Oppenheimer came right out and said that Jobs had no intention to leave Apple any time soon. Also, even if he did, doesn’t anyone think that he would make damn sure that there is a proper succession plan (not like when he was ousted by Sculley). Short sighted day traders that don’t see the whole picture can go ahead and take their losses by jumping out and driving the stock down. Me, I’ve been long on Apple for 12 years now. While I’ve had the blues a couple times, my long-term investment has paid off quite handsomely. Regardless of the nay-sayers rants, Apple continues to be a viable company which deserves a PE > 40. I’m LONG!]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:48:48 -0400 Steve’s health notwithstanding, Apple’s performance speaks for itself.

As long as they don't make driver registration onerous, they could succeed. Also, for performance reasons, they would have to provide the ability for drivers to hook to a kernel which may actually have to use some - dare I say - hand-tuned assembly code. Just because you have the space and the processors are getting faster doesn't mean that you should expand the bloat of the OS an applications to stress test the newest, fastest machines. Remember when Word fit on a single 1.4M floppy? Modular can be a good thing, if it's done right.]]> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:36:28 -0400
