  • Why I Would Not Bet on iPhone over Android [View article]
    Getting an Andriod powerd phone from VZ is just as costly as getting an iPhone from ATT. Given that, I would always go for the better designed, better looking iPhone with a better user experience. If VZ had lower cost, a family plan where you could share the data what you say might have some validity, but not when there are no clear advantages. why would some one want an inferior product that has no styling and an incomparable ui at the same price? Doyou call the demise of Movado or Rado watches because of the cheap $5 alternative products? With the iPhone, its comparably priced to other alternatives, but with better styling, ui and coolness factor thats hard to match.

  • The End of Exclusive: How Apple Plans to Grow Market Share [View article]
    I havent bought one because I dont want to deal AT&T's BS. An "Unlimited" data plan that is limited, one that does not include SMS, or tethering to a laptop, one where you are charged more for less minutes than a voice only plan, even though you pay extra for a data plan, etc, etc. Also AT&T tried to unsuccessfully tried to gouge me in the past, and I have avoided AT&T like a plague now. I'd rather wait for another carrier (not that they are any better, but competition is a good thing for the consumer) or go with Clear internet rather than having a smart phone.

  • Ignore Apple Naysayers: Look at Its Earnings [View article]
    Apple has proven the naysayers wrong for again and again, the naysayers would be dead before Apple! Apple has continued to re invent itself from the ashes, many many times and should be renamed Phoenix!

  • Here's an Unconventional Idea: Sell Apple [View article]
    The article shows the small thinking of the author. Cannibalizing the iPod with the iPhone is a brilliantly planned strategy. The iPhone is the phone that every other phone wants to imitate and will be for a very long time. Apple has learned the mistakes of standing still and is innovating like never before. Obviously the iPhone sales will start to wane at some point, but not right now. As for high priced computers, Apple is attractively priced in the few product lines it offers products in. I recently bought a Mac, just because I wanted to learn the iPhone SDK and with the 3.0 SDK, Apple has brought in several highly desired features. I'm not betting on Apple going down any time soon.
