If the iPhone flops, or has disappointing sales, I am convinced it will be because of the small memory. If you mainly want a phone that plays music, you may be ok, but with all the emphasis on its video capabilities, it really should have come with …

I think that the main reason for closing the stores for 90 minutes is to ensure that lines form for the launch. It says, excluding stores in enclosed malls. Usually mall landlords have hours that stores are required to open. So does this mean tha…

If the iPhone becomes a big seller, and indications are good that it will, then I think that Apple will quickly regret granting a 5 year monopoly to AT&T. As popular as the phone may be, competing cellular providers won't stand by and watch them…

I think that it was a great machine that targeted the wrong market. Rather than going after low end PC users, it should have been promoted as a home theatre server, with a larger hard drive, better video capability and optical audio, it would have b…

Canada's always late to the game, but I'm not sure that its Apple's fault. Its Canada's third world style regulations governing TV content and movie distribution. It makes it very difficult to negotiate rights to sell in Canada. As well, for TV cont…

3000 Apple Tvs over more than 800 units works out to less than 4 per store, not 5. Either way, they'll probably be sold out before most people even see them.

I got my personally engraved iPod Shuffle today shipped directly by Fedex from China (to Canada), even though I didn't pay for expedited shipping. I'm amazed by how much is packed into such a small package. It may not hold as much as a nano or vide…

It will be an interesting contest. On the one hand, Microsoft may be able to bring in features that Apple can't because MS can afford to sell at a loss like they have with the xbox. On the other hand, they can't innovate, so will their product actua…

They say that the SEC's mandate is to protect shareholders. Duh, isn't that the job of the company directors? Once again, they are going after a well managed company just because the directors are being well rewarded. Does anyone think that Apple…

I think that the most revealing part of this story is the extent to which Apple is now supporting Windows on a Mac. I guess its a consequence of releasing Boot Camp, even in beta, but I think it also fortells some of the rumoured capabilities of the…

Wow, the comments on this story have degenerated to personal insults in record time. I went to look at the comments expecting some views on the philanthropy of 50 cents and the potential good will and marketing opportunities for Apple.
