Not just no, but hell no.

Why the FCC Wants to Smash Open the iPhone

requiring access to an iPhone in Montana is like requiring transportation to the New York Symphony for Montanans. Only politicians can provide no consequences for personal choice by their citizens. Reality is Montana just got another whining crybaby as its newest resident.

To repay TARP funds, banks will reportedly be subject to a test determining whether the repayment is in the nation's economic interest. This could complicate matters for banks like Goldman (GS) and JPMorgan (JPM) which have been itching to repay their loans.

The next time AAPL crosses $200 / share it won't be Kool Aid we'll be drinking.

How the iPhone and Poor Management Contribute to Apple's Downfall

Apple is in a war. If the stock price is a battle then they have chosen to cede that fight. The customers buy Apple's products world wide, large margins and all. Apple is clearly winning the battle for customers. You can't hide success for very long without telltale signs. Every investor can see the quarterly rise in Apple's cash.

And don't forget one other category that Apple leads the nation;that is sales per square foot of retail space.

Their future seems bright. I own AAPL in my IRA.

Nokia Buys Operating System, to Give Away Software to Other Phone Makers

I don't think that Nokia had much of a choice. With you tube videos showing an iPhone as the remote for mechanical devices it is clear that they need a giant leap in user friendliness. The Symbian engineers are employees, the iPhone SDK developers are independent , there can be no denying the motivation is different. Nokia has a very tough row to hoe.
