Whoa. IPhone accounts for more than 80% of AT&T smartphone sales

January 26, 2012

IPhone accounts for more than 80 percent of AT&T smartphone sales: AT&T posted its fourth quarter results for 2011 on Thursday and highlighted smartphone sales in particular, which reached a record high of 9.4 million devices, beating the standing company record by 50 percent. Apple should be very happy with those results, too, since 7.6 million, or [...]

My, how Google’s attitude has changed

January 26, 2012

Google, five months ago: “A smartphone might involve as many as 250,000 (largely questionable) patent claims, and our competitors want to impose a “tax” for these dubious patents that makes Android devices more expensive for consumers. They want to make it harder for manufacturers to sell Android devices. Instead of competing by building new features or devices, [...]

Why the “customer” for Android is advertisers (and why it doesn’t matter)

January 4, 2012

Gruber: It is that the consumer is Google’s product. Android is a delivery system to serve the consumer to Google’s target market — the advertisers. So Google’s customer for Android is not the consumer (with the arguable exception of the Nexus phones), but rather the carriers. He’s right, and he’s wrong. It’s a bit like [...]

Everything looks obvious in hindsight

December 8, 2011

Jim Dalrymple: Technology companies these days are scared to death to make a product that varies too far from Apple does because they fear being left behind. Some companies even go so far as to say that Apple’s inventions were inevitable — if that’s the case why weren’t they done before? Indeed. Everything looks obvious [...]

The future of Siri

October 26, 2011

Oh yes: Siri could be the interface to future products, like tiny little Nano-sized devices, or home entertainment systems. I think the people thinking of putting Siri on to the Mac, Apple TV or iPad aren’t thinking big enough. Imagine a Nano with Siri, and you’re closer to the mark of where Apple is going.

Mathew gets it

October 23, 2011

Mathew gets it: I’m sure when Bill Gates looks at the iPad or the iPhone, he thinks about all the features it doesn’t have, or all the things that it can’t do. But no one else thinks about those things — all they are interested in is what they can do, and how much fun [...]

Review: Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2

September 4, 2011

Make no mistake about it: the iPad’s on-screen keyboard is actually very good. You can easily rattle off a quick email or tweet with it, and some more proficient users have been known to write several hundred words without their fingers falling off. But not everyone gets on with it, and if you’re a professional [...]

Why can’t anyone match the iPad?

August 28, 2011

To put it simply no one can match the iPad because no one can match Apple’s prices with a tablet that matches its features: When better equipped (though bulkier) netbooks can be had for $250, tablet-makers need to set their sights below $200. There is just one problem: the cost of the components currently used [...]

Come on Lenovo, you can do better than this

August 22, 2011

It’s not even out yet, and already the Lenovo IdeaPad — the Chinese manufacturer’s attempt to crack the tablet market — is getting something of a savaging: The IdeaPad K1 has been in development in one form or another for a year and a half, yet it still isn’t ready. And even if it had [...]
