This is pre iPhone 4 information, it doesn't take into account the biggest phone launch in history. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/08/02/nielson_androi...

When every Verizon store, kiosk, and multitude of resellers are able to finally show the iPhone next to an Android phone, Apple will take a big slice of Android's pie. Verizon has 90M subscribers and the cell phone buying cycle is only 1.5

If you want a smartphone and are already with Verizon, T-Mobile or Sprint, you're options are pretty much limited to Android. When the iPhone expands carriers, probably next year when AT&T and Verizon move to faster LTE networks, it wi

Anyone know why this was put into the bill? What good intentioned upside someone is trying to accomplish? Are cell phone companies going to issue 1099s to most of America, and all users have to do the same?

Yep, 50-70 durometer silicone, any color. Cost varies widely depending on how many you want to make, how complicated the tooling is, the number of parts per tool, cycle time, how much material the parts use, how detailed your logo/features

A year from now there will be 2-3 times as many iPads in circulation as there are Kindles. 2 years, way more. Most of these people obviously will not have prior Kindle accounts and they will buy via iBooks rather than a third party app. Th

For now anyways. I doubt many people with iPads will buy Kindles in the future and Apple's eReader will scale far beyond the kindle because it offers so much more. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Android tablets roll out

This means Apple, out of nowhere, could soon become the #1 or #2 book retailer in the world by next year. Apple has sold 3M iPads, roughly the same as the Kindle - http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/techbeat/archives/201... There will

Is it a surprise to anyone there is nothing awesome or especially compelling about the Win7 phone?

That would all be impressive if this was 2006, unfortunately, they are largely copying the iPhone with just a different graphic design theme. It is symptomatic of bigger problems in Microsoft's innovation lag.

This looks way better than than the giant fixed turbines they are putting in Eastern Oregon which cost $2.4 million a pop, interrupt the view, and can't pay for themselves. It's also funny Oregon has abundant hydroelectric power, but subsid

Web development may not be around in 20-40 years, certainly not in the way it's done today. That said, I'm sure that type of technical ability will be in demand, you may have to learn some new things.

I upgraded my 3g to iOS4 and its barely functioning, constant hangups - do not recommend upgrade. Very highly recommend the iPhone 4 though.

Of course this was brought up. Apple generally does a 10-3-1 design process - 10 different fully working prototypes are made and they let the designers go crazy. From that they further develop 3, then go with the best one. I've been in some

The cost to manufacture the iPhone is around $190 and final assembly is only 5-7% of that. Apple gets $600 for them. Apple's genius designers and engineers are creating the lion's share of economic value, not factory workers. And having bee
