Apple vs. Microsoft: Who Will Bring the Ideal Mobile Productivity Device?

"Granted, there’s no news on an input system, and if it is through a on-screen keyboard, this device will be severely handicapped from a productivity standpoint."

Aw, come on.

It will have an optional Blue Tooth keyboard, the only question being, "Will it be from Apple or 3rd parties?"

(Yes, it will cost $50 and you will buy it.)

Betting Apple's New Netbook Is a Big iPhone

Another reason for iPhone Max: Apple's iPhone OS PLATFORM is a true thoroughbred and the others are just feature phones.

Watch the floor. Apple will sweep it clean.

Can Apple Remain the Unique Innovator It Was, Without Steve Jobs?

"So why is it Apple, Apple Only, and Again and Again Apple Only?"

1 - Jobs has created a unique culture of 'Spartan' innovation. I say Spartan because of his oft-quoted remark about Apple's innovation is great because of the 95% of the great ideas and projects they DON'T do! All the genius energy has been corralled and placed behind a very few arrowheads. (Genius is hard to direct, just like a herd of cats.) Don't worry. Jobs has taught the lesson and they will continue with Spartan innovation even without Jobs.

2 - Jobs has also created a unique culture of "Army of One" innovation. They all get strict secrecy as a huge corporate advantage. They all get integrated innovative development: design, marketing, sw, hw, factory production, business plans et al all get worked out in an integrated responsible fashion. They all know the NEW THING takes precedence over mgt politics.

3 - Jobs has nurtured the open source rooted Mac OS beginning as the NextOS in the mid 80s. The quality, breadth and efficiency of the code base is an incredible advantage over all competitors. Windows is collapsing under the bloat of its huge unwieldy Vista blob. Apple's OS is leaping ahead of every OS in execution, functionality, ease of use, and ability to continue innovating. They marry the OS to the Things, Marketing Plans, Business Models to create an unstoppable juggernaut for market dominance.

4 - Finally Apple lives for the future like no other 800 pound gorilla has before. Apple embodies great brilliance, discipline, speed, sizzle, and the will to create the future of personal tech THINGS.

I don't know of any other large cap company that acts so much like a startup as Apple.
