Traditional manufacturers and publishers just don't get the Internet and they don't understand who their customers really are. They think their customers are those traditional brick and mortar retail store owners. These are folks who constantly comp…

The pundits seem to have assumed the $1000 price point. I don't see that. I'll bet the actual price for the basic unit with WiFi but no 3G will be more like $500. My questions are more basic: Will it have a hard drive (needed for storing lots of …

Geez, how completely ridiculous. Time has no clue. The iPhone 3GS, together with the App Store, is a far more compelling product. I fee so sorry for the poor consumer who actually takes Time's advice and buys a Droid. So sad for them.

It's logical for Apple to shy away from the 'game platform' designation. Microsoft's ad agency could have fun with that. Ditto for RIM, Nokia, Palm, Motorola and other smart phone competitors. They'd like nothing more than to see the iPhone categori…

Well we know for sure that new MacMini's are coming and new plastic MacBooks are coming. Those are both low end products and new models will surely boost sales. A tablet is also likely. If they do have a new category product like the tablet it se…

This author is so far off the deep end. Whoa! AT&T and all of the other cellular providers imagine an Internet with a toll booth at every entry point, on every device, and at every node or junction. Consumers want an internet with unlimited e…
