The principle is important; you should not be prevented from using a device you have paid for with other services. You buy your iPhone, let's say, from AT&T; the phone, if one could talk AT&T into unlocking it, could also be used with T-Mob…

Not sure why you'd even do this with other drives that are out there; LaCie for Thunderbolt; QNAP and Synology for the flexibility of choosing between direct connections and very fast duplexed network connections; just about everyone else for USB3. …

Something tells me that for this to really work well, we need devices that are truly portable between carriers. And, until we get devices with multiband LTE support, that's not going to happen in this country. Sprint continue with their use…

I have to make a decision in the near future on a display with a time-limited work budget. At this time, the Thunderbolt Display does not qualify, because the screen glare is excessive and because I need USB 3 hubbing capabilities. Should A…

Haswell, obviously. A second Thunderbolt port. A third Thunderbolt port if they insist on getting rid of Firewire 800. These ports are effectively like having external PCI and provide tremendous flexibility. Hook up an external PCI if yo…

Will it actually work this time? I've really been shocked at the lack of reliability with this update. There are times that it has felt like OS 9.2.2, or even worse System 7.5. I've had a great many MS Office crashes interacting with Mail, and va…

Well, obviously Haswell, seeing as they've dumped discrete graphics already. It would be nice to have decent graphics performance back again. And, one hopes, better prices on upgrades such as memory and Fusion drives.

As soon as Apple can get their hands on a more energy-efficient display for the iPad 4, they'll update it again. Probably something along the lines of the Sharp IGZO type of technology used in the iPhone and iPad Mini. That will enable them to sub…

Didn't see the price right off the bat. They've really made a mistake here. May as well get the 15-inch model, seeing as $100 more in the education channel buys you quad-core, discrete graphics and the larger display. And they persist with the …

So when will Apple upgrade their software? iWork '09 is on course to still be sold in '13 unless something dramatic happens very soon. Aperture is looking creakier by the minute. iLife, along with Aperture, gets the occasional patch, …

The fact is, Samsung's panels for smaller devices ranging up to the size of laptops are better than the competition. This is not good news. Perhaps Apple can spend some of that huge cash pile on finally bringing up their percentage of R&D spen…

Why impair laptops and desktop computers with generously-sized widescreen displays with the limitations of a user interface designed for small vertical format displays such as smartphones? This seems to me to be hobbling iTunes even further, even…

Big questions: Does the Thunderbolt Display get updated for USB 3? Do other issues with it get resolved, such as being able to support a non-Display Port display on pass through without an intermediate Thunderbolt device? Do they fina…

As the Droid RAZR M demonstrates, Apple ought to be able to go to a 4.3 inch display with minimal consequences for the width of the handset, and to save trouble for their software developers they could get to 4.3 inches at the current resolution a…

Abandoning Intel, or more broadly, abandoning x86, would be idiotic. The current situation makes Apple the most flexible computing platform in terms of operating system support, and that's vital for professional and corporate use, and besides Intel…

You know what else is a visual downgrade, using the iPhone 5 after a couple of months with a Galaxy S3. The text and graphics are just a little bit too small. Why couldn't Apple have done a 4.3 inch iPhone? It would provide more legibility, it wo…

I'm honestly not sure who is being more unreasonable. A pox on both of them. I think Google shades Apple for the stupidity prize simply because of the penny-wise, pound-foolish attitude to exclusivity. What's really important is exclusivity of th…

We know from Apple's previous statements and third party research that the profit margins on iPhones are stratospheric. The same, I suspect, is true for other smartphones. You're looking at something like 60 percent margins on the iPhone even afte…

I am still not impressed. First, because it's underwhelming in my view from a hardware standpoint. No increase in storage capacity. No water resistance. No push for a bigger display (4.3 inch with the same resolution and still keeping it at abov…

By far the most important feature -- the choice of LTE bands on the different versions of the phone. Verizon, Sprint and potentially US Cellular customers will be delighted -- all current and future LTE spectrum on these carriers is represented a…
