The questions abound: 1. Do non-Apple stores provide the quality experience for customers that Apple has found is fundamental to their success? 2. Is the problem for non-Apple stores lack of inventory or lack of sales that can draw inventory? …

Samsung does not announce shipped so this is analyst guess with big error bars either way What is a smart phone is all over the map for Samsung Shipped and sold are very different outcomes So Apple is very well but it's a major guess for Apple …

If this super secret thingy is a competitive product with Apple, e.g., iTV or iTunes or Siri, then this could be really interesting in a few years. It will be interesting to know if there is a non-compete clause in the contract and if it will be in…

Amazon is selling tablets to those who would not have bought an iPad [as noted by Tim Cook based on iPad sales data] that is bringing a new market segment to bear. Whether this will be a threat to Apple iPad is TBD, but to the Android tablet commun…

NY Times article highlights the dangers of 1. being proactive about labor conditions and 2. making the actions and progress public. Similar to Apple's work on environment, criticism is intended to take Apple to task for not doing anything, not enou…

Apple is only used out of compulsion by users, esp seniors. Apple does not cater to IT departments and they will jump ship as soon as they. This is almost a religious zeal. Regarding Good, their iPhone and iPad support is marginal with lots o…

This is so far ahead of the curve, that it is silly. It does not bode well that the book makes such a prediction. This guy seems to assume a little pre-Apple experience and face time on Apple events translates into the management skills to ope…

They chose to compete on innovation not being a copycat and that is what is in the long run the most valuable to users. It goes without saying that is NOT the model of Google, Samsung, HTC, etc.

I think this is part of SAMSUNG business strategy. What is needed is: 1. What is a smartphone 2. Which OS are allocated to the device [Android [flavors], MS Windows7, and Bada] 3. What is the average selling price per phone 4. What was the pr…

I have been disappointed that a lot of Apple's adoption of new technologies [at some risk] have not been fully appreciated. I remember things like the first affordable and simple Airport base stations, migration to USB, going floppy-less, embedded …

Apple has sown up the high end laptop and desktop market where the profits are, Apple has sown up the high end iPad market. Amazon has sown up to low end [and running at a loss] for tablets and probably nailed the non-Amazon Android tablet market t…

Apple's earnings come from hardware and some software, iTunes service operates break even. This is the magic of integrated, that is, distributed vendors, hardware, software and service must each make money. So Apple creates and enormous barrier to…

I used it at the Apple Store to get an iPhone case, it really was simple.

Lets see how long it takes for NY Post, bloggers and NY State to bother to report the full facts, rather than make guesses on MTA and Apple's motives, competency, and fairness. My bet, a long time. The controversy is much more profitable up front …

It is still way too early to make predictions. Google Android is just beginning to get nailed on IP from Micrsoft, Oracle, and Apple, there is enormous risk for hardware vendors on Google platform. Some are getting MS insurance with a deal to sell …

I do not see any real evidence that Apple has made any major concessions to Enterprise. It will modernize technology without heavy deference to Enterprise keeping stuff forever, major problem for Microsoft It will not provide roadmaps to Enterp…

Did it on 3GS and 4 Apple simple!!!!

I really like the power and expansion capabilities of a tower, but the current price to substantially exceed the performance of a top of line iMac is $6000++, the gap in price seems enormous for modest albeit significant performance differences. I …

1. HP PC business is low margin commodity that will not spur growth, aka IBM transition 2. Windows 7 and Windows 8 merely continue the value chain sending high margin money to Microsoft and small margin to HP 3. Apple has sucked all the air, p…

If they shipped ~20M phones in Q3 and we assume the Quarter over Quarter gain was 37%, then that means they sold/shipped 27.4M phones, hmmm very close to Strategy Analytics estimates. If the number from Q42010 is 10M phones, http://www.readwritewe…
