One of the reasons that the ATT network performs so poorly in many places is because it uses the UMTS version of CDMA, also called WCMDA that is asynch. It uses 5 MHz channels to transmit both data and voice. So, within a cell or sector, if there …

The Mac has been useful due to the browser applications and some local run apps like Office, iTunes, etc. It has quite a few useful applications, but nothing like what is available for the iPhone via the App Store... 50,000+ apps. If an Atom proce…

The iPod Touch needs to have hi quality camera that has zoom and hi resolution CCD with flash... good for hi quality photos and video. Yes, it will make the iPod thicker like the iPhone, but the extra thickness can be used to pack more battery and …

Apple needs to quit making its products overseas. There is enough automation available to overcome the labor cost differences and manufacture the products at home, here in the US. The US government itself, needs to change the tax laws that allow c…

Another big advantage of the iPhone is an entire Unix based OS with a very innovative user interface. This user interface will be further enhanced with features like being able to rotate objects with fingers, etc. I am just surprised that Apple ha…

With 2G GSM phones Nokia has the advantage that they part of the GSM IPR group with this company controlling the bulk of the IPRs. Anybody outside the cabal had to pay big time royalties. The company also design a good and simple user interface. …

Nokia is yesterday's news. They did well when it was just the phone with easy to manufacture phones, economies of scale and a easy to use phone interface. Now the game has changed... at least for profits. The $$$ are in the smart phone sector and…

Microsoft Office is basically a copy of the Apple Lisa "Office" done around 1982. Later on various pieces were made for MacOS in 1984 or so. Windows 3.0 was essentially a copy of the Mac or even Lisa OS complete with Copy, Cut, Past, etc. Anyway,…

I guess we can forget about a Verizon LTE iPhone. It will give ATT negotiating leverage against Apple once their current contract expires unless they already signed one. If ATT balks, Apple can always do a deal with T-Mobile. In addition, it woul…

Just like Apple redefined the smart phone market with the iPhone, it will have to redefine the laptop/touch tablet market. Most of these laptops are looking about the same... good screens, so so batteries, same old apps. OK, better than Windows la…

It is important to keep in mind the physics of the WCDMA/UMTS/3G asynch tech that ATT uses. Voice and data are transmitted via coded packets. The voice packets are coded for time sensitive QoS... ie optimize for time to avoid lag. Data is coded s…

I think it would be nice to have an unlocked phone so that interested subscribers could buy and use them at will. Unfortunately, the average person would balk at paying the $500-700 price... even the carrier offered a less expensive data plan. It …

It is important to keep in mind that the initial 3G tech that ATT uses called WCDMA/UMTS has been designed for widespread use of data on a sustained basis. It is essentially Wide Band CDMA that uses asynch tech. Voice and data packets travel over …
