Nokia Enters the Already Crowded Netbook Market: Pros and Cons

Nokia is well known for expensive products with little to offer over its rivals, in my opinion. I often have problem identifying the selling points of their products. Most times, one key desirable feature is missing from the model you intend to own. In order for them to succeed, Nokia has only one choice. That is, lower its equipment price to win market share. Even the industrious Japanese is not gaining a foothold in net-books and smart-phones.

Apple's Real Growth Rate in 2008: 49%!

Apple will fall below $40 as the recession deepens and when the competition catches up. Linux OS can be substituted for Mac OSX, and running on Atom processor net-books.
Jason is trying to justify his AAPL purchases and prevent the stock price from collapse when Jobs finally quits the company. I have heard this talk before, while the price crashed from $180 to $105.

Apple and Google: Changing My Mind

I do not have much confidence in these two companies.
I believe Apple will fall below $40 as the recession deepens and consumers take cover from the storm. Compare with Sony, Hitachi, Toyota and Honda.

Google may be another Satyam or Enron, I fear.
My expectation is its stock price will fall below $180.

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

I am a smart-phone owner. I did not even bother to look at the i.Phone features when I learned it is using a locked SIM card (very anti-competition behavior) and the ridiculous pricing both hardware, carrier charges, contract period and extended warranty costs.
My choice is the Palm Vodafone version with Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition, with 3G capability but with no WiFi.
It is highly cost effective compared with the pricey i.Phone, and I have spare cash to buy another standby phone including 2 spare new batteries for the Palm and standby phone.
I am happy with my choice, and believe my next purchase is going to be another Palm with Windows Mobile or Google Android or Linux or Palm OS (with at least 3.5G and WiFi).

A lot have to do with personal preference and usage patterns. There is no point in having several hundreds of applications when the ordinary man in the street just require a suite of frequently ran applications. More programs for me assure more problems and data corruption including viruses, malware, system hang, trojan horses, compatibility issues etc. My philosophy is :: Simplify your life, smell the roses.

Apple Hype Priced In - Stop Trading! (6/9/08)

Cramer may be right. Apple is over-priced and over-hyped. 3G and GPS is not new. 4G and dual SIM-card is the next frontier. By the way, as a consumer, I hate Apple's practice of restricting the customer's choice by locking the phone's software and barring other service providers from selling the phone. This seems so unethical and against free market practice. Motorola and Nokia, please deliver us from unfair practice and mediocre products.

Who Benefits When the Fed Floods the System with Liquidity?

The losers are the prudent savers and those affected by inflation, especially the poor and the elderly. I think CAPITALISM has been badly abused by the greed of corporate America.

Apple, Microsoft Are Buys Ahead of Earnings

I would not buy Apple although owe an Apple notebook. I believe with evidence of the huge profits that they are overcharging their customers. So I switched to other makers.
