This is a one-sided story, without Apple's response. More likely, Apple won't any any browser due to the restriction on loading other apps. It was designed as a safe measure against virus and worms. Web browser, by definition, may load and run ot…

I have mentioned this in other threads before. When iPhone constantly getting data from wifi and use software to decode the data, the battery won't last more than 1 hour (more like 40 minutes). This is exactly what's going on here. So, the mai…

The battery life issue is a good point. Nobody would want to read the iPhone/iTouch for two hours with the thing plugged in. Does anyone know exactly how long iPhone would last with little activities (CPU almost idle) but backlight on at 100%?

I also think the # downloads for the most popular apps is also a good indication of the G1 sales. Most G1 buyers are geeks, buying it specifically for the Android OS and would try the download store immediately. With so few choices, some of the apps…

I think the iPhone number beats the street's expectations, and of course, Apple makes way more money from each iPhone than from each Mac (and iPod), that's why the margin is higher than expected.

Let's use some concrete numbers. Let's say Apple sold 4M iPhones before this quater, and 6M this quater(2M/mo). - I use 6M for ease of calculation, the result is not that far different. they would book equivalent of (4M / 24 * 3) + (2M / 24 *…

Forget about the PC vs Mac war, those two ads are funny, especially the first one! Actually, the MS ad (Sienfield and Bill #2) wasn't bad either. "I am PC" was boring like car commercials. At least, those two companies will make the TV commerc…

My predictions: The new iMac will be super easy to upgrade. The 20" one is essentially Macbook in iMac packaging - no Firewire. The 24" one is Macbook Pro in iMac packaging - has Firewire, has ExpressCard/34 slot (I hope). Mac Mini will be ref…
