Want a Canadian iPhone? Get a Second Mortgage

Telecommunication is privilege not a right in Canada. It's time for CRTC or Federal gouvernement to limit the profit of the carrier like Rogers to make communication accesible, affordable and democratic, Specially with the cost of hydrocarbure.

Next elections, this gonna drive my vote.

Which Is the Better Investment, Apple or Research In Motion?

RIMM seem lot more risky than AAPL. The advantage of RIMM is based only on software skills (1), not anymore on hardware with the Iphone 3G. Oh, yes the keybord is a real one (2)...

AAPL have the OSX advantage, even Microsoft can't beat it (3). AAPL has also the advantage of the full compatibility of all the family : Ipod, Imac, MacBook, MacBook Air, Apple TV, etc. (4)

So what will happend?

1) Simple software is repeatable easily. RIMM even sell is own software to competitor

2) AAPL or a another company gonna lunch is own keybord for the Iphone/Ipod touch.

Any advantage left for RIMM?...

3) Maybe a Linux solution like Android can help RIMM but this solution gonna help others even AAPL. Anyway do you really want adds on your phone?

4) The full compatibility and connectivity of the AAPL products, only Microsoft can compete. Until now there is no battle...


There other points can be analysed. Internet browsing ? Iphone is still alone. Game ? Iphone has patented 3D accelorometer...

Of course RIMM can fight against AAPL, but he gonna fight too against ANDROID. Maybe RIMM have enough consummer in cellphone to stay alive. But AAPL have all a family of products to support and benefit of the halo effect.

Just to conclude, I'm not even sure too that ANDROID can compete Iphone
