So what happens when websites that rely on ad revenues start blocking Siri requests?

Interesting, I've never heard the average Android consumer complaining about fragmentation, yet fragmentation will be the driving force for consumers to pay 2.5x the price for the iPad. I could think of a dozen other good reasons (for certain nee…

So why are costs for defective hardware the responsibility of the carrier, not the manufacturer (through the warranty period) or the consumer (after the warranty period if they didn't purchase additional insurance)? And if carriers are paying 40%…

Maybe the excess data usage is from all those Andridiots watching crappy flash videos? Sprint is investing in 3G iPhones for data efficiency while everyone else is investing in the even more-efficient LTE technology. Way to go, Sprint!

Well, it is AT&T. They're probably still paying for all that 3G capacity they added (well) after they got the iPhone 3G. Gotta add enough to be able to sell 4G phones with a straight face, then start building the real network once they get 20-…

Seems obvious, considering that the only other potential "driving forces" would be the new camera and the dual-core processor, and Siri is the most noticeable difference of the three for the typical user.

Record profit per sq ft is probably more due to the products themselves (and their respective margins) than anything specifically about the actual store. I've always found the stores more frustrating than anything. I'd rather pick up what I want…

Maybe they gave him a handicapped permit since he had the cancer. Or maybe not, and karma really is a bitch.

The 3GS is $375 (US), and those surveyed in China only want to pay $344. I'm guessing they are talking about un-subsidized pricing (great in-depth reporting, btw) -- Chinese carriers typically do not subsidize, although I thought I read some were…

Ah, so maybe that's why my Verizon corporate store pushes Android and has the iPhones over in the corner to sell themselves.

Well, I guess losing $0 to $50 (unclear) on a tablet beats paying Apple a 30% cut of sales for merely delivering a 4.6 MB application.

Interesting they didn't disclose details. I wonder how many were $1.99 monthly subscriptions that will be cancelled after the first auto-renew charge comes through and reminds the customer that they subscribed. Newsstand is interesting, but the …
