And you'd think that Apple could reduce their ad budget, and not have it affect demand too much. I'm pretty sure they can stop the iPhone and iPad commercials, now that they're selling all they can make.

In other news, Steve Jobs, in a conference call, says that Windows is "open". In other words, welcome to the new world of Apple double-speak. It's new for Apple to deliberately misdirect the public like this. This process began when, on the day…

What are the chances that the CDMA iPhone is being built, only that it isn't coming to Verizon? There was an AI story about Apple talking with China Telecom, another CDMA 3G provider, about getting the iPhone. If a deal with Verizon can't get done…

UMTS is also known as W-CDMA. That can cause some confusion. However, UMTS uses a different type of air interface than the CDMA systems found on Verizon and Sprint in the US (as well as China *Telecom*). As mentioned earlier, China Unicom uses …
