I think the theory that Apple didn't want to set of a fight with carriers is absolutely spot on. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple was very cagey about discussing FaceTime with carriers before launch. It's telling that FaceTime will only work if ther…

This makes sense, the gatekeeper will for sure be able to authenticate a variety of aliases. However, I believe that the "root" unique ID will always be something that can be traced back to a real identity. Each phone already has a UDID, but that's …

That is, unless users can verify their phone numbers, or some other identifier that ties you back to government issued ID you showed at some point. It's typical Apple and I must admit I find it very reassuring that it seems this is the approach they…

When Apple announces its results tomorrow, I hope they'll not also be announcing that they temporarily don't have any iPhones available to sell. That wont be nice. Today (Sunday, 20th July) iPhone availability update: -AT&T's backlog ship…

iPhone 3G is a fantastic device for consumers and will completely stifle RIMM's consumer growth potential. However, in the enterprise, Apple did not licence the full ActiveSync capability from Microsoft and their Exchange functionality is more hype …

bobo28 and others, dudes, there's no such thing as a basic Constitutional right to privacy. I'm not kidding, ask a lawyer.

The Constitution guarantees your right to bear arms and all but there isn't anything in there that guarantees your privacy. There are laws that forbid actions that violate your privacy but the government and most legitimate businesses can easily bu…

Same or similar thing will happen in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong and Japan. At least in the first 10 days, there wont be enough iPhone 3G goodness to go around.

I wonder what people will have to say about all countries launching iPhone 3G now that it has run out of stock 4 days before launch in the UK. http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone Same thing will happen on opening night across Asia.

The fact is, Verizon told Steve Jobs to take a hike when he pitched the iPhone to them.

I think the really interesting iPhone 3G story will be Japan. SoftBank is more than just a cellphone company; it is Japan's largest internet operation. It controls Yahoo! Japan which is twice as large as Google with more than 60% share in Japan. Yah…

The baby thing is sick in this heat. I don't think the baby will be out there all week. I have good contacts in New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia who tell me that the phone will probably run out of stock there soon after launch. We'll…

Apple has decided to be extremely low key about the release of iPhone 3G. It saves them millions of dollars in marketing but I wonder if it also has something to do with anxiety about meeting initial demand. I don't expect them to have enough 3G iPh…
