With mobile contracts locking people into the same handset for ~2 years we probably won't know for a while what the impact of these fragmentation problems, carrier crapware problems, etc are going to have on Android.

Who would have guessed the white iPhone saga would end up being a longer lasting thorn in Apple's side than antennagate? The thing that confuses me is OEM parts are out there. You can get a white iPhone 4 today if you really want one.

My guess is they're hiding the scrollbars of inactive windows which seems like a pretty good move to reduce UI clutter. Being a progressive myself I do not fear change so I'm excited to see how this works out.

There's probably no one perfect size for a tablet. I'd be happy to have the choice of 7", 9.7" and something even bigger. Perhaps 13" at the high end.

I'm surprised Google didn't learn from Apple's free market research. $250+ is just too expensive for a standalone IPTV box. The TV integrated stuff has a better chance just because consumers won't know exactly how much extra they're paying for it. T…

Not looking forward to a tidal wave of shoddy ports but it seems Apple has very clearly reserved the right to reject applications for bad interfaces so I suppose that covers my biggest concern.

The only concern I have with AirPlay is that it uses wifi. For video this is unavoidable but for audio it's going to be a battery problem unless the client devices have built in storage. Leaving the wifi radio active for 30 minutes to listen to 30 m…

It's quite a feat of engineering that an iPad with 4-8x less RAM than a typical PC offers such a fluid and snappy end user experience. It really puts into perspective Steve's truck vs. car argument from the D conference. It's like driving your 18 wh…
