There are two form factors that make sense in regards to tablets. One is covered by the iPad in that it is large enough to be just the right size for what it is used but not so large as to be awkward to handle. The other form factor is something …

What Apple needs to do to not be vulnerable in this space is to overhaul the Touch based around a screen that makes sense for a portable computer/gaming console as opposed to making the Touch essentially a smartphone minus the phone. Being that …

The problem with the 7-inch form factor is that it's a compromise all the way around, offering the worst possible outcome. By drastically reducing screen real estate (going from 9.7 inches to 7 inches is a far more drastic reduction than you might t…

When Apple talks about the future, the suggestion is that there are some interesting projects being worked on that will produce significant gains for the consumer. When executives with other companies talk about the future, they sound like executive…

I think what we can take away from this is that consumers will pay a little more for a product with perceived quality. It was not difficult for Apple to convince consumers to pay hundreds more for a fully realized, largely uncompromised product like…

There is no question that when it comes to portable computers weight is the enemy. Apple would be making exclusively Air-like laptops if it could figure out how to do that and yet offer both affordability and performance. One major obstacle is the c…

Apple put a lot of effort into producing a polished, well-made tablet and brought this rather polished first version to market at a price that competitors simply couldn't beat. Apple came out of the gate running, if you will, and will simply continu…

I don't think it's a matter of if the Mac Pro will be killed off but rather when. I do think there is room for one more revision because the Mini is still a year or two away from becoming capable enough to serve as an adequate substitute. Right now …

That Apple might offer some configuration of the current iPad at a reduced price is not only possible but consistent with what Apple has done in the past with other product lines. On the other hand, a so-called iPad 2S makes no sense. I can't im…
