You're assuming that Apple doesn't see the market trends regarding a lower priced phone, especially in emerging markets, which by the way are actually not strong as a lot of people think. Recent data is showing that emerging markets are increasingl…

This tied with the fact that Samsung and Google just entered a 10 year cross licensing deal, it looks as though Google will handle more of the software and Samsung will do the hardware. The writing has been on the wall for some time that both Samsun…

I switched my whole family to T-Mobile and so far, we couldn't be happier. We were on Verizon, Cingular/AT&T before that and while their coverage was pretty solid, it wasn't worth renewing for another 2 years with Verizon. It has also been a lit…
