10 Reasons Not to Buy Apple

Hao Jin:

Never criticize AAPL on a public forum. There are too many fanboys and you will be flamed forever. Your list of issues is sort of tired. They are issues and worries that are speculative and sound like the list that a venture capital guy says to a person seeking money for his idea. My advice is to go to an Apple store. It will be packed. And we're in a recession. Apple is the best of breed for now. Any drop in price will be driven by market drop and not Apple demise.

Apple's iPhone and The Future of Nokia

Iphone is a fascinating product. It appears to have everything a smartphone user would want in the best design and user friendliness. I want one. Since no one currently owns the software side of cellphones nor has produced anything as cool as the iphone, this is a great opportunity for Apple. I hope they don't blow it. The key for me will be whether or not they permit transfer of data, contacts, schedules, etc in some way easily compatible with Windows. If not, they are likely to come up short with business and customers who can afford this phone. Business customers like standardization and competition; two things Apple has not provided.
