The market is bigger than the analysts seem to understand. The Kindle Fire will continue to sell well because of the lower price point. The iPad 3 will sell a record number. The whole tablet market pie will only get bigger.

I hope there's some security features built-in that prevents unauthorized purchases using your Siri device. I'm sure people out there share password with loved ones and those said loved ones (children) would love to go on a shopping spree. I ha…

It seems like forever since Apple had a specific event/news for education. Glad to see Apple is going back to its roots and shoring it up. I'd like to see an upgrade to iLife and iWork for the Mac while they are at it. All signs point to iDev…

MS really likes the name "Metro". That was originally a challenger to postscript and the PDF format. Now it is the new interface for Windows 8. Metro just happens to be the transit system in King Country Washington where Microsoft resides. Odd th…

There won't be an iPad 4 released this year. Apple has no need to release another major version that soon. They could release tweaks later (e.g. one with LTE support inside) but that does not qualify for a major revision number on its own.

I don't buy the Kindle Fire cannibalized the iPad. First, I've heard many who own an iPad have a Kindle Fire. Second, the Kindle Fire is a good media device, but lacks many features and apps of the iPad for those that want a tablet to replace thei…

Seems to be a wasted media event then if no new hardware products are going to be announced. Apple should just do a press release and save everyone the bother.

I have a Wii and will buy the new version when it comes out. Apple's Airplay competes with the consoles but I don't know how well it works. Anyone have any good experiences with Airplay?

I'm considering getting a Kindle Fire namely because of the price and the amount of content that Amazon provides. I don't have an iPad. I hear the Silk browser is pretty lame though.

What makes anyone believe that they haven't already tried to negotiate a licensing fee structure with Google? The lawsuits are the last straw. MS has been going directly to the handset makers to get the licensing fees and maybe Apple has tried too…

That was a good commercial and I had a laugh at the end. Apple has the lead and the competition is once again scrambling. The thing about Apple is if they are behind in areas (i.e. screen size and 4G) they don't either educate why they are (ne…

I'm sick of these lawsuits. These two need to settle soon. All this does is distract from innovation. If Samsung or Apple are found in violation then they need to cross-license or change their designs.

Apple wants to build the whole widget. This might be out of legal concerns as they rumble with Samsung as much as it is about the technology.

Nice to see Apple is still making moves. We armchair CEO would have bought the world by now and bankrupt the company.

Airplay is indeed the killer app. It would be nice if Hulu were on the AppleTV. I'd pay for Hulu Plus and ditch cable once and for all.

Apple has never purposely taken a step back in development and I don't believe their DNA will allow it. It they do then you know the Jobs era has truly ended. Jobs was not about compromise on quality, design, or aesthetics.
