Others have said it before but it is worth re-stating. If App Store was simply A distribution point for iPhone/iPod touch apps, it would be one thing. But when App Store is THE sole distribution point for those apps, I would assert that the respon…

As others have noted, just because Apple bundles a phone with iPhone (and a weighty service contract) and doesn't with iPod touch doesn't magically equate to there being one buyer for both devices. The economics are different, the primary "job" you…

Btw, some further analysis on today's 'Let's Rock' event can be found here: 65 Million Reasons to be bullish on Apple http://thenetworkgarden.com/weblog/2...lion-reas.html Quick net out is:We focused on tactical execution, not just big pictur…

Boy, I wish that they would focus instead on the social commerce aspect of music, as that scales better across all types of media. Specifically, I am talking rating and recommendations (ala Pandora), review wikis, and synchronized IM/listening prog…

This has been rumored for a long time. Perhaps this might be the oft-alluded to product transition that will take down margins?

What I love about this is that it (once again) showcases how Apple is thinking outside of the box to leverage its specific unfair advantages to deliver a user experience that others can not meet. If they are successful, it will open up new classes …

Android v. iPhone is the proverbial ying/yang of whether the best path to ubiquity is to be open and take a loosely coupled view of platform; or to be proprietary and tightly integrated. Arguably, in the mobile realm (at this stage at least) it…

Two quick comments. One is that it is amazing that while everyone on this board (and those gravitating the Apple universe) gets the "this is big" factor on App Store, I had dinner with a friend last night with a gen one iPhone who is not in tech, an…

Personally, I think that this is Apple's version of Border Control for access to the iPhone Universe. As I believe that governance is part of the equation, I say hurrah! In fact, I just posted on this aspect of the topic: iPhone Universe…

To me, this is the proverbial water dripping on a stone that ultimately leads to the frickin dam breaking. Apple now has two types of devices (Macs and iPhones) that are finding pockets within enterprises, each of which complements, integrates with…

I would argue that the lack of copy/cut/paste and formal "save as draft" functions limit the iPhone's utility as a serious input device. For short emails it's good enough but for longer messages, this is a showstopper, and number one reason I will …

Ironically, just blogged on this gap in a post called 'iPhone's Lingering Raspberry.' In it I concluded that I can't take my iPod touch seriously as a typing/text-based input device until I can 'save drafts' and do 'copy and paste.' The main…

Lots of chatter in the blogosphere from iPhone developers frustrated with Apple primarily because Apple being Apple, they haven't exactly been super transparent on the approval process, leaving a lot of developers feeling like they are being jerked …
