20 million would be amazing. If that were combined into the broader PC market, iPads would account for ~20% of sold units all by itself. The tablet market is growing by leaps whereas the PC market is struggling for growth. That's all you nee…

10-15 years ago you could buy Loewe TV sets in the U.S. I remember liking a flat tube model at the now-defunct electronics store The Good Guys! in California. Competitively priced, excellent design language.

This is, after all, a test program. It's also in a state that does nothing but Vote-by-mail so there are no polling places, no voting machines. The iPad could be a huge boon for voter accessibility, just as it has helped other industries (health car…

I'm glad they were able to build this in NYC. Because they'd never be able to build it in CA with the seismic standards. Ron Johnson is right about how the building integrates with the GM building in the background. While the new cube is a much clea…

Everything looks good so far, though there are few surprises for me because I've been using iOS 5 beta since the summer. For me there's one more piece needed: iWork for OS X. When's that gonna be released?

I got an 11" i7 MBA last week. Almost immediately after I got it the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. I went through through the usual troubleshooting steps (plugging in external input devices, reinstalling Lion, etc.) to no avail. Then I took…

If you grew up in or around Cupertino you'd know a few things right off the bat: the area is almost entirely car-driven, and there is no "downtown" to speak of. There's no subway, light rail or commuter train. To reach the local train station requi…

If Google really wanted to support its hardware partners it would help compensate them for their legal and licensing costs. They're not doing that. Just like everything else they give away for free, it only comes with a bare minimum of support. That…

What iCloud might be is the death of iTunes the client. For all the people on Windows complaining about the performance of iTunes, I suspect one of the reasons it hasn't been properly optimized for Vista/7 or even a 64-bit OS X version is that they'…

Sales are quite "smooth."

Amazon's preemptive move to get a cloud music service going without licensing terms helped push the labels in Apple's direction. The labels probably wanted there to be an active bidding situation, but Amazon killed the process by announcing their se…

Link Apparently Microsoft has a perpetual royalty-free license to the IP in these patents. Others might have to pay. Any of these major players have good reason to bid on this portfolio if they have the cash to do so.

1. Don't rush the product just to beat Apple. Whether it's Samsung last year or Motorola in March or RIM preannouncing in September, it's bad form to release half-baked. Unlike phones, people are reading the reviews on these things to see which ones…

I can't see this happening unless:Display technology becomes significantly cheaper (50%) Flash and DRAM prices also drop a similar percentage A much cheaper enclosure is used (easy) Further integration of currently discrete components $250 is too hi…

The UK's The Guardian has a great feature on how the iPad has changed things. Quote: A friend recently went to a business meeting. He prepared by pulling his laptop out of his bag. All of the clients responded by taking their iPads out of their b…

There may be a simple market-related explanation to this. Honeycomb must have been baking in Google for at least a year. OEM partners asked Google to finish it ASAP, and the preferred partner Motorola was starting to get nervous after seeing how Sam…
