You guys all seem to be missing the point. That Siri natural language searching stuff is really, really cool.

It's better than iPad!! um... yeah. It's still probably better than a hole in your head.

Honestly, I think its simple: The Mini had its day, but it is not (largely speaking) what customers want anymore. It was great when it was introduced. I know that was just a short time ago. That's how much and how quickly things change in the PC…

In my industry we call this 'sell-in' and 'sell-through'. Obviously sell-through is the only value that truly matters. Sell-in is how effective your internal marketing team was at getting Walmart to order your product at retail. I could see how S…

I agree with people here that MBP and iMac refreshes are Apple's top priority when it comes to traditional computers and we'll see these first and soon. Combined I'm sure they represent the vast majority of Mac sales, so they're important. The M…

There are alot of people out there walking the Earth (in this country) who aren't under any contract. They're on ATT, sprint, Tmobile or Verizon and they want iPhones. Many Verizon customers get a cheap non-contract or short-contract Android phone…

Honestly, I'll enjoy checking out the Xoom for myself when it ships. Since they're waiting on Android v3, I'm kinda suspecting that won't be until July-August, a few months after iPad 2, but it will be interesting nonetheless. I do like looking at…
