Too often now, the reviews for Android phones tend to be very superficial – they play with a pre-loaded review phone for a few hours, they tap a few screens, an app loads, they cue up a movie already on the phone, they surf a few sites, etc, etc… and call it an “iPhone killer.” [...]

Some aspects of the story seem lost in the haze of what really happened because somewhere along the line we’re all presuming Gizmodo is telling the truth – the whole truth but O RLY? First, the initial foundation of this is an AUTHORIZED Apple employee takes his test phone with him has a few drinks [...]

The New Yorker recently ran a piece that proves why in court, you need to the whole truth and not just part of truth. First, for convenient sake, the music industry likes to blame their current state of their business on iTunes or the iPod. That is like the horse carriage industry blaming road pavers [...]

Of course, Adobe can sue Apple – if you can file a $54 million dollar lawsuit for some lost pants, certainly, Adobe can sue Apple … but Adobe will lose. The most obvious precedent is that if you sell a device, you have EVERY LEGAL right to decide what ‘software’ runs on it – the [...]

The recent iTunes App “banning” of salacious-sexual content apps makes sense on one level. It is understandable as these titles would randomly appear throughout the store in games & entertainment and it’s understandable you don’t want clients, or your kids stumbling across it …  or even if you’re showing off the iTunes store, it might [...]

Yes, we do not need a tablet. Yes, some people need a tablet and their needs are mostly being served – whether it’s a niche market or for artists who want to draw with a stylus – they need a tablet but NOT the one Apple is presumably delivering in 2010. Yes, a flat personal [...]

The problem with most newspaper technology writers and even many technology “analysts” is they briefly read the AP Headlines before scribbling out some output to earn a paycheck … the reality is why many newspapers are failing both financially and their readers – they don’t bother doing any investigative work or any kind – they’ll [...]

The latest Microsoft ad that tells everyone an iPod will really cost you $30,000 while a Zune will only cost you $15 a month is really aimed at NO ONE other than Microsoft employees. Apparently morale is so bad at MS they need a national campaign of $300 million to feel better about themselves. I’m [...]

First, the iPhone is not a Nintendo DSi or Sony PSP “killer.” That word is misused like ‘awesome.’ But the iPhone does put a big crimp into the maximum market of the Nintendo DSi and the Sony PSP. As with any electronic device, the race is to the ‘mass market’ or around 100-million units sold. [...]
