You comment about "bringing up concerns you could have with for any phone, including the iphone" is equally ludicrous. The iphone is NOT "drastically reducing it's production orders" and does not "have multiple hardware and software issues" in fact, the exact opposite is true, it just works.

You seem to mock the "multiple issues affecting a production run of 1 million". If there are hardware and software issues it doesn't matter if they produce 1 or 1 million, the phone has problems. You're confusing manufacturing issues with having a stable, ready to release phone.

Your article is based on false conjecture and does not offer any support for its reasoning.]]> Fri, 01 May 2009 11:52:46 -0400

AAPL's profit margin is among the highest off the computer manufactures, Dell's among the lowest.

Doesn't seem logical to me.]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:53:02 -0500

7.11M iphones would be fantastic and completely destroy most estimates. We'll find out in a couple of hours.

Thanks for your hard work. I really appreciate it.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:28:12 -0500

You're article makes little sense and offers no support for any of your arguments.

Your first statement, "there's an obvious amount of pent-up demand for such a device" referring to a larger ipod touch, is backed with what research? How or why is it obvious?

You then talk about "the Android realm". Android is currently available on only ONE handset. Now, all ONE manufacturer is thinking of jumping into a touch tablet because you state "they likely are now". Is now New Year's Day? Or all of 2009? Or the first week in January? And why now? What makes them likely? Did they read your article and deiced to forgo the Rose Bowl to work up a touch tablet?

And why "thus Apple will be compelled to as well". Apple HAS NOT been compelled to jump into the netbook market and Steve Jobs has declared they "don't make crap". Apple does not follow, especially an alliance that has yet to manufacture more than one device and may never reach penetration in the mainstream markets.

And your comment about a video-in port to receive video from a iphone is asinine. So a person is going to carry an iphone, a docking station and a video out cable so they can watch video on a 7" screen rather than a 3" screen. Why wouldn't they download video right to the tablet?

Do you really believe that AAPL is going to hit $39 a share?? Thanks for going out on a limb and stating that AAPL is a buy at 39. ]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:22:54 -0500

And why compare internet traffic to the respective sites; it doesn't say ANYTHING about sales. A completely useless statistic. ]]> Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:46:48 -0400

I'm a fanboy but this is taking it to new extremes! Your productivity might increase if you had taken some of that $2,000 and bought a MacBook and a $400 air conditioner.

Just saying.]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:32:17 -0400

If I had said publicly that Apple sells an iphone for $199, the same as other phones, so there must not be a price premium associated with it. I would expect to be called an idiot. This is completely false and shows not even the most basic understanding of the sales model of the iphone.

If my boss didn't call me an idiot I'd quit the company due to my new found lack of respect for him.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:56:59 -0400

Very rarely do I argue with someone as clueless as the author of this article but I'd like you do to do two things, Google "iphone component cost" and "iphone subsidized price". Now, tell me how profit margins are falling.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:34:40 -0400

You're an idiot! There's a little thing called the iphone 3G that was just released, have you heard of it? It sold one million units in its first weekend of sales in one of the 70 countries it is available.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:05:39 -0400

This statement, based on your personal opinion, has not been backed up by fact. The economy has been constrained all year and Mac sales increases have been triple the overall market PC market

Anyone can have an opinion, but when it is not back up by real world observation, you just look stupid and uninformed.]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:09:33 -0400
