Releasing OS X Lion seems the obvious choice. Maybe if there was a reason why it would be good if lots of people had Lion BEFORE WWDC..... Personally I think the way to celebrate 10 years would be a limited edition product. Maybe a limited editi…

So basically, if you want to buy a ton of these for your business or school, you are locked into a 3 year contract. That's a minimum of $720 per machine for education and $1008 for business. For a machine with specs the same or worse than a 16GB iPa…

Maybe it is time to resurrect the "I'm a Mac" Ads. PC guy could show up dressed in a raincoat and dark glasses saying he's joined Google because of all the cool spy gear they gave him. Mac guy could become "iPad Guy". I'm sure there would be a t…

Appleinsider - please please please PLEASE stop mixing multiple stories into one article. Looking for comments on the Amazon news inside all the chatter about The Queen is MADDENING! STOP IT!!! It makes the comments confused and pointless.

I wish Daniel would add a column to these tables: Number of handset models produced. Listing " 1 " next to Apple would really counterpoint the other data.

Is it really worth suing Amazon? That's a lot of free publicity they are going to get. Without it, their store might just wither on the vine of fragmentation.

The table below illustrates how the general principle of Apple's IAP Fees works, it's just set too high. The chart shows the relative costs and fees associated with selling a $10 magazine on the 3 different channels - iOS, Android and Web. The fi…

Aren't we forgetting that magazines and newspapers do not receive the same level of visibility as books do via iBooks. They currently either publish their own app (like 'The Australian' newspaper or 'Wired') or they sit inside a virtual news shelf l…

Hypothetical Situation: I create a free iOS App to read e-magazines sold on my website. 3 questions: QUESTION 1: Can I replace my "Buy on website" button with a big message, saying "Buy magazines from our website URL"? QUESTION 2: We d…

This decision might have more to do with Microsoft and HP than Microsoft and Nokia. If you remember, the perceived wisdom (i.e. What worked for Apple) is that you have to control hardware software and store. Microsoft looked to HP to deliver the har…

I forgot to add, I think Apple wants to encourage single title Apps, where a 'clean' 30% fee is deducted from the price of the App, not an IAP, as it is a straight swap for the costs of distributing the paper versions previously - hence why Apple ar…

There's actually a LOT at stake here. Firstly, there are three very different types of Apps. (a) Apps from businesses that have competing hardware (Amazon, B&N, Sony) and Apps that do not (Zinio, PixelMags) and Apps that are individual titles (T…

Summing up his response, Balsillie reiterated that he thinks RIM is "just well ahead on the PlayBook, well ahead internationally, and extending very very well." So the Playbook is well ahead of the iPad? Great! Where can I buy one? Seriously, …

They sold 600,000 !!!??? I never realized so many iPad developers were that curious to see how much it sucks.

I think a good PlayBook is good for iPad users as Apple have a 6 month lead time to consider their response via iPad 2 which I expect in April or June 2011 (just my hunch). Unfortunately it will be so hard to compare like for like in these situat…
