I think Apple/ Steve are very surprised by the bad feedback. I honestly think they thought everybody would love it. I also think secrecy is so in breed in Apple that they don't know how to stop the frenzy without spilling the beans. I don't have a …

I don't think it has anything to do with early adopters. The problem seems to be partly that everybody is passing the buck and Google has no real help line. It's pretty stupid that they don't. It's a really bad thing for Google if early adopters, an…

None of this matters. I agree with the idea that the only iPhone killer is the next iPhone. Let's see what happens when iPhone 4.0 comes out. People buy the phone that is right for them, but I don't see any company being market leader for very long.…

The big problem for Google is that their only source of revenue is their ads, which is fine so long as they can control the market, but if Apple can get a major beachhead in mobile ads and Google's deal is shot down by the feds it could hurt them. A…

The problem with all these ideas is that you need to assume that all the other players, WindowsMobil, Palm, Blackberry, Symbian, etc. will just be pushed aside by Android and it will become Android vs. Apple. Just like it became Apple vs. Microsoft.…

I'm not a developer, so I'm not asking this question out of a lack of knowledge rather than trying to be obtuse. Was, and is there, a large market for Mac programs created by small developers? The only program that I use from small companies are Gra…

I like the update and it seems OK on my 1st gen iPhone but opening the "SMS" app seems to be slightly slower and does not load the current chats as fast as I remember the last version doing.

Until the to-do lists out there sync with Mail or iCal I think they are totally useless. The to-do apps that have desktop sync use that companies own program rather than Mail or iCal. I'd guess the reason they do that is to make more money but why w…

Calendar app. I really want Apple to include some kind of to-do function in the calendar. None of the to-do lists in the app store get the job done.

I've not had anything that I would consider a real problem with 2.0 on my 1st Gen iphone. The contacts app is slow but since it's new I have nothing to compare it to. I've not been very impressed with the app store selectons or the quality o…

The main reason I've heard mentioned is that AT & T does not allow it.
