Steve is dead meat. This is the beginning of the end. "More complex than I though" with a six month break essentially means there's a high probability he's dying. Not so good for stock holders but possibly good for customers. We might get more varie…

HSUPA isn't a surprise, it is inevitable that it will show up in the iPhone, just a question of when. My guess is the second half.

This doesn't entirely make sense. What's the point of a large touchscreen device? It's questionable if it can replace a laptop configuration with a mouse and keyboard, and too big just for games and browsing. It would work as an eBook reader too I g…

The question is, how far is Apple willing to go to protect its premium prices? If the recession goes on long enough (and it looks like it will) then sales will drop along with profits. I'm guessing that Apple would rather start laying off people tha…

Tethering is such a stupid name. It's called using your phone as a modem, or accessing the internet via your phone or anything but tethering. This issue is an example of why I'm sticking to Nokia phones (looking forward to the N85). For functions…
