This question would be valid except that when Android became available on ATT, the target smartphone demographic had already left ATT or bought an iphone, most becoming happy owners. Many iphone owners will move to Verizon and many upgraders on Veri…

This has been the story all along. Android was the late comer to the party. Now the reverse is true, to the surprise of many. I think Apple might consider "one size fits all" may not carry them through or that depriving one carrier to earn a bigger …

All it means is that the ios platform is not the most popular amongst smartphone owners. Apple's client base has always been a niche market until the iphone came along and then they made billions. Now they can go back to making a high end niche prod…

If apple developed other form factors, they would be in the clear then? Sounds easy Quote: Originally Posted by Rider when would AI get it .. Android is not a phone ! ... Iphone is a phone . let me know when M Droid outsells Iphone 4

I think you will be surprised at how little the Verizon iphone affects the trend. Quote: Originally Posted by anantksundaram 1) When we can actually start to see (audited, segment) profit numbers for Google and the handset makers, this type o…

IOS market percentage has leveled off. No argument there, but the rest sounds like a lot of extrapolation. Last I heard Android was still growing fast in terms of percentage of new smartphone sales. http://mashable.com/2010/11/02/iphone-android-nie…

It's all in the headline wording. What I read is, "Organizations with secure infrastructure reject iPad access to internal resources, however some IT departments are willing to take greater risks when the opportunity for immediate gains in revenue e…

Apple's sales in 2Q 2010 represented 22% of US smart phone market share while Android's was 34%. This is all due to Apple's decision to go with an exclusive carrier agreement. Android would have never taken hold had the iPhone been available on mult…

This is good news for iPhone users... downward pressure on pricing, incentive to offer more features and hopefully encourage them to ease up on restrictions. It may not happen right away and next quarter will likely see a surge of iPhone 4 sale…

Wait, weren't there more than 50,000 Apple TVs sold in the first two hours??

I wonder if Apple will create a device like the iPad, but without the expensive silicon that would allow iPhone and iPod Touch owners to attach to the back. Basically, why not have a device cheaper than the iPad just for I/O? It would be great to se…

Apple rejected Google Maps with free navigation, true. TomTom earned a healthy profit because they were coddled by Apple, who just wanted to preserve its 30%. This is great news for the developer and Apple, but who is the real loser here? Exactly, a…

Sure, my perspective is clear. If I didn't know too much about it, we wouldn't be discussing it. The reason it is of no interest to you is because it is not available to you. If you had a chance to use it for a while and then Apple took it away, …

iphone apps do crash. They can bring down the OS. All software is a work in progress. And, you can pay all you want, but only get what you seek out and negotiate. Would you award the highest bidder on a contract simply based on price? Google …

Technically, Google Voice isn't a VOIP product. It uses the traditional phone network. On ATT, it would only help by saving SMS fees. The real value in it lies in the fact that it takes away the call control and sms control from your carrier and …
