I've watched some of the videos for WM7 and there is a number of things that make me think this will be a failure. I hope my points are well reasoned and make sense. 1. Enterprise, enterprise, enterprise. When i worked for a global blue chip firm…

Hi guys, thanks for your responses. See the beauty of this device is that it uses very powerful servers and does not require anything remotely powerful to run the games. The device the user uses is purely for audio, display and input. The hard work …

Option 1: Release another update to itunes. Stops further circumvention but allows the continuation of a cat and mouse game with Palm and potentially looks a bit like Goliath. Option 2: Sell a vendor licence to all hardware vendors allowing 3rd p…

I was offered 3 options. The first was to go to an Apple Store, but since i live over an hour from my nearest and have 2 young kids who are a nightmare in shopping centers this ruled this one out. The next was to send the phone off and have it lo…

Well i live in the Uk and frequently rent movies from itunes with an average size of 1-2Gig. I don't think for the masses a 4 to 6 Gig download is an issue anymore. As for the delivery of OS X only via itunes i had expected more people to like to t…

I guess i'm irked by the UK/US price difference. Which i don't honestly think is all down to VAT or importing or doing business in the UK. In the past comparable prices have been pretty close bar the cost of the 160Gb Apple TV which is still a rip o…

What is with the pricing disparity? A whooping $350.00 difference here in the UK? I mean importation costs have never been this high before. This sounds like rip-off Britain all over again. Very sad because the credit cards out!

I have to say from a strategic adoption point of view, it was a major oversight not to include multi-touch trackpads on the Macbook. Surely you want to drive even more sales of the most popular, mainstream mac unit and get people using a technology …

I?d like to say at this point that in the last 3 years i?ve spent somehwere in the region of a quarter of a million pounds on Apple products, thats around half a million dollars. I dislike the assumption on an earlier post that if we?re not happy wi…

I have worked with Apple in the past and know they originally intended a more ala-cart MVNO model for the Iphone. I think that it was a cash generation decision to partner up. Originally T-Mobile was the preferred partner for the whole of Europe bac…

If im honest there are a number of key reasons why i would be happy to see Yahoo fall into MS's hands. Firstly tighter Google Apple integration is on the cards and seems to be on the road map of several products so MS feels protectionist in this app…

I currently have a 3 mobile, and it does not have a mobile to pc client. No one currently offers to my knowledge a mobile to pc video client. Which allows full communication with one fixed broadband connection and one mobile roaming 3g unit.

I saw a preproduction model in London about July last year. At the time Apple was talking to T-mobile who have a great deal of experience in MVNO's i was contracted to look at feasibility of the network as well as differentiating the products featur…

I tihnk people are missing the boat here somewhat. In short this is Apples first device which can communicate using a special client IM software which can enable Mac to Mobile Video chat. The whole point being it doesnt need a large MP camera…

Im trying to not reveal too much here but.. The camera's sole purpose is not for taking photos, per say... I was a consultant who has worked for Apple in the UK and also with T-Mobile and I can say without a doubt the camera is not for taking …

Hi there, as a marketing and branding consultant there is one massive point which no one seems to be addressing with the Zune. Ultimately it is not to do with the player, the file format or indeed the actual offering because what Microsoft is doi…
