Report: Apple to ‘touch off nuclear war’
"The world of desktop computing is finally going mobile, and the shift can be seen in the explosive growth of wireless data for cellular carriers," John Markoff reports for The New York Times.
"That shift may well be underscored [Tuesday] when Steven P. Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Computer, is expected to unveil an Apple phone representing his company’s new mobile communications strategy — highlighted by a device that may include Jobsian refinements such as a sleek ceramic case and a transparent touch screen," Markoff reports. "Industry executives and competitors believe that Apple has developed the first of a new generation of devices that are closer to personal computers in pocket form, meaning that they will easily handle music,...

Come on WNRussell. You surely can't still be on the Apple bandwagon. None of what you predicted about Apple changing the mobile phone paradigm is happening. I thought you were pro-consumer. As of today the mobile media world is more close sourced than it was yesterday.

Actually, I am a Verizon lover! I just hate the way they cripple handsets.
How can you of all, say that "None of what you predicted about Apple changing the mobile phone paradigm is happening."??
The iPhone was only released a few hours ago! Wanna bet that Apple takes a big (10,000,000) bite out of the market? Read back on my predictions on the V710 deal.

Even if Apple sells 10m iPhones, thats barely 1% of the worldwide market. Not a big chunk, but it is a high end chunk. 😎

Maybe you are right. Take a look at VZ stock and how it is performing compared to AAPL.

God, yes. 😎
And no. I wish I had bought more. 😢

Yeah, but who wants stock that will be and has made huge gains.
Oh wait, apparently Jobs does...hence the insider trading. Steve Jobs, "no comment" and "any further questions will be directed to my PR director Drew Rosenhaus".

Let's bring back the V710 as a IPHONE KILLER.....with state of the art features.

I don’t follow Phonescoop on a daily basis, so I may have missed some of your predictions. If you predicted Apple would design a compelling piece of hardware, I’ll concede you were right. As far as impact on handset market share, we won’t know until a couple years from now.
The predictions I’m talking about is how Apple would flex it’s muscle, and through regulatory and legislative advocacy break the monopoly carriers had over handset distribution. If my recollection of your past posts is incorrect, accept my apologies but that’s what I thought you said in the past.

I agree on no takeover, but it sure did "Raise the Bar". And as you know, I am no Cingy fan.
