Every so often the mothership does something to once again pique the ire of the tinfoil hat crowd — Apple wants to take over the world and here’s proof! Being an unreformed Kool-Aid drinker, I’m of the opinion that Steve Jobs already controls the world and these details, come and go as they do, signify nothing.
A prominent financial analyst has a new twist on the smartphone race, including some different ideas about the likely fates of Windows Phone 7, the several Android clones, and Apple’s iPhone.
There once was a time when the iPhone was the king of the data consumption hill. No more as a new study shows that those bad (mostly) boys carrying Androids, specifically the Samsung Galaxy and HTC Desire, have a big appetite for bits and bytes, though iPhone 4 owners are no slouches.
Once again, the long-time exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the United States, the venerable AT&T, has been named the worst wireless carrier in the U.S. How did the best phone pair up with the worst network?
Two years ago, it was unusual to see a 10-year-old that wasn’t glued to the DS death-gripped in his hands. Well, although the kiddies are still walking around playing games, the devices they’re using have changed and the trend is away from Nintendo and Sony.
For a lot of people, the first thing they do — think decades of reinstalls — after buying a new PC is scrub the disk and perform a fresh, clean install of Windows sans all of the garbage apps installed by the OEM. This ritual is increasingly just a part of life for Android phone buyers, as well.
The bane of the iPhone in the U.S. to date has been exclusivity with AT&T being the source of the significant majority of issues reported by users. Now, a fresh rumor indicates that Verizon has sweetened its offer in order to exclude its smaller competitors.
As the end of the year nears and the date of the probable Verizon iPhone announcement draws nearer, thoughts shift from speculation about whether it will happen to what the Verizon iPhone will mean.
Around mid-year, the mothership was predicting a near 50-percent share of the mobile advertising market. However, at least source is predicting the Cupertino, California-based Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod maker isn’t going to earn even one-fifth of that ambitious goal.
Holy holiday savings Batman! The little strip mall electronics store that does will be offering iPhones — yes, Apple iPhones — with some pretty serious reductions, but these deals will only last one week, a mere seven days starting Saturday, Dec.4 and running through Friday, Dec. 11.
