  in Rolling Stone co-founder slams publishers for embracing Apple's iPad Comment by bstring May 2011
• A comparison between a 3Gs at $49 and two hand-picked devices being sold for $199 doesn't mean much. Used 2008 Honda Accords outsell 2011 Mazda 6's. No argument. One would think that selling older iphones real cheap would help to regain the lead,…

  in Previous-gen Apple iPad, iPhone 3GS often outsell new Android devices Comment by bstring May 2011
• Apple's locked down model works well for many, those who know no different or lack the ambition to see their device's full potential. Also perfect for parents to hand to their kids to protect them from themselves. The rest of the world is free to re…

  in Toyota pulls ad campaign for jailbroken iPhones at Apple's request Comment by bstring April 2011

  in Varying accounts report modest lines for Apple's Verizon iPhone 4 Comment by bstring February 2011
• The story here is the non-event and it's hard to draw readers without something to report. While the iphone is a very good product and the best selling single device, it's just one of many highly competitive devices. Nowadays, it's just a produc…

• I'll stick my neck out and predict a lack of pent up demand... This week the media will seek ways to generate hype around the Verizon iphone while next week it quickly fades. The story will be 'the non-event'. Verizon/Apple won't disclose lackluster…
