Could the iPhone be improved sure. Nothing is prefect.

However those who seem to imply that Apple is going to be going away or is in for an @ss kicking are deluding themselves. Apple is on the verge of printing money. Due to SOx the are deferring revenue, basically spreading the sales over 24 months. In June of 2009 the first gen phones revenues will be fully realized, that means in Q4 Apple will be fully reaping the harvest, from then on they are basically printing money.

apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/.../the-day-apple-released-its-iphone-revenue-bomb

Keep reading it until it sinks in, Wall Street has been missing this for nearly 1 1/2 years.

Also the other thing that get missed is that Apple has been in this space in for less then 2 years, the fact they have come this far is nothing short of astonishing.

Piss poor advice from Liddy? He's dead on. He is also correct about ATT. Most popular phone= larger network, more revenue, more money for acquisitions, more money to expand a network, it becomes self-sustaining.

On to Verizon: They are iin a losing proposition, they may have the best coverage in the US, the rest of the world is GSM... The world spoke and they are on the outside looking in. I'm thinking that Verzion might be kicking themselves now, they are basically Dell now, Dell had 1 and only 1 advantage in computers: Japanese "just in time manufacturing" applied to the computer industry. It wasn't anything new or revolutionary, it was just teh first time it was done successfully in the computer realm. Now everyone does it and look where they are now: Verizon by way of example is the same: they have a fast network. Their phones suck, their billing is a nightmare, their excessive penny gouging is ridiculous.

Also its ironic that many are looking at this is in a purely US centric light: The world cell-phone market dwarfs every Verizon subscriber several times over. Apple is selling the iPhone in India which now has what 1.2 billion people? Verizon's subscriber base is 60 million giver or take. Paul sure loves to trumpet world market share when it suits him. Apple is aiming globally, and Verizon is a big fish in a single pond, apple is looking at ponds the world over.

Do I want the iPhone on the fastest network available, yep. Is Apple concerned at all about Verizon now? I'm guessing not. Sounds like the CEO of Verizon at the time will be remembered as another *** Rowe on not signing the Beatles. Apple could make a CDMA phone for the Verizon network, but why? Who was the ones who said "No thanks"?

So to close out: can Apple improve the phone? Sure. I think they will too, its only matter of time and with the revenue that is building ist going to be likely...

I know a few people in Michigan that would disagree with you.

Copy/Paste has to appear at some point. But I see why it hasn't. It has to be just right, as it can't really be changed afterwards. Besides, when they do it, it will probably be used by everyone else in the same way so this doesn't just apply to iPhone.

And "9. Video recording"...? Might as well scratch that and replace with "9. Shaving machine."

'Your statement is like saying "A car is better than a Ford"'

Heh, I might say just that :)

"Good point, except that it applies more to the PC users here. Most PC users are here for news about MS products. Many Mac users are here with the sole intention of fighting. I still don't get it why you're commenting here when you don't even care for Paul's opinion about Apple's products or news about Microsoft's products."

And why are you here? Because on this on this thread you're the one who started it. Anyway, even you're not saying *most* Mac users are here to fight.

And more more thing...

Market liberalization has lifted more people out of poverty in the past several decades than socialism and central planners ever did all put together. I'll take the progress since 1968 on the economic front, even with this current downturn, any day of the week.

"How would you know anything about Liberalism, we've spent the last 8 years under the most conservative administration in US history and before that had moderates or conservatives since 1968."

Ha. That's rich. Medicare Prescription drug expansion. No Child Left Behind department of education expansion. The patriot act (a warmed-over version of Clinton's 1996 anti-terrorism act that the REAL conservatives killed). Sarbanes regulatory overreach (and it was) and now a massive consumer products regulatory overreach. Guns and Butter spending and interventionism like nothing we've seen since LBJ. Horrific inflation through out-of-control monetary policy and a complete abandonment of a strong dollar.

Please... stop my description of this "conservative" administration before I turn into Barry Goldwater.

The Republicans deserved what they got for trashing the ideals of personal and economic liberty that used to underpin "conservatism".

Sorry, Mike, but if you're not talking about monetary policy, you're not talking about anything that matters in this economy. The Federal Reserve and the Treasure have planted the seeds of our undoing and I believe their current chaotic "action" is doing more harm than good. Who in their right mind would invest right now, given the completely bizarre and erratic behavior of the Treasury? What bank is going to want to lend in this climate of government action uncertainty.

You gotta feel bad for President-Elect Obama. The only question is whether he'll be a repeat of Nixon or Carter. Both of those guys were left to deal with the devastation of LBJ's guns-and-butter dollar destruction.

Our only silver lining right now is that the whole world is in the tank and our US Treasuries remain alluring and secure enough to continue attracting foreign investment to fund our massive deficit. The rest we print at the risk of hyper-inflation.

Mike, your problem is that you buy into the provably false notion that the government does anything OTHER than collude with big business. Look at that Farm Bill. Look at the Energy Bill. Look at "campaign finance reform". Just look at any of these bills. They are interest-group driven nonsense designed to prop up incumbents in business and politics alike and that's been true under both parties. Corruption will be rampant in any system that lacks checks and balances, and our unconstitutional federal bureaucracy has none. ZERO.

It's time for REAL change. It's time to take their power away... starting with the power to print money out of thin air to fund their boondoggles which raising our prices on everything.

...but what the hell do I know?

"RE: the economy, if and when stability is restored in Iraq, the US will start making billions of dollars from the rebuilding efforts. Invading Iraq had nothing to do with democracy or Al Qaeda. It was all about money. Afghanistan is a poor country and there was no way the US could make money from the rebuilding efforts there. And hence, the Iraq invasion. That's my conspiracy theory for the day."

That's the current plot arc of Prison Break.

I saw this awhile back though, when Halliburton came into play well before Bush Jr. started his first term. Daddy Bush set some events in motion that led to the "invasion" and eventual occupation for his son to control. That happened in the early 80's when he started making friends with Arab oil tycoons.

Oil runs in the Bush family blood. What's funny is that Canada is the largest supplier of american oil. We have all the oil, and all the fresh water too. It's just easier to steal oil and make money profiteering in a rebuilding plan while simultaneously destroying a country and masking it as a war in a very different civilization on the other side of the world. That sh*t just won't fly here. We're just too close for people not to notice it for what it was either.

How would you know anything about Liberalism, we've spent the last 8 years under the most conservative administration in US history and before that had moderates or conservatives since 1968. Sorry. Any problems you see now are clearly your people's fault.

As for SOx, wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have corrupt corporate officers robbing the country blind? It's not as though SOx got put it because the GOP run Congress liked regulation, it's because their deregulation fever let nobody but foxes run the hen house and they had to do something to keep the last few chickens alive. Blame business leaders that steal. Blame conservatives who don't like to regulate "their kind of people" but don't blame those of us who would have preferred a real re-regulation.

Now, back to the usual whining about how Paul's treating Apple unfairly by implying they're not divine perfection incarnate.

I definitely wouldn't put lotsa in the same category as Ocean and robertsjoe, but to each is his own. :-)

Ok, I'm back.

Let me Control-V:

My Jag runs great, Vista runs great on my 3 year old Dell, my iPhone doesn't drop calls in the Detroit-Flint areas of MI and yes..........I'M A CONSERVATIVE. GO NEWT! DRILL HERE DRILL NOW!

OK...........I wanted to buy a Samsung BlackJack II, but you know I'm a die-hard Microsoft guy...but the WinMobile Samsung phone SUCKS SUCKS compared to the iPhone with built in iPod. I want WinMobile to kick Apple's butt. It doesn't though. Sad truth.

One last thing: liberalism is bad bad bad.

What is America today? We the people are now in the mortgage business and we the people are soon to be the automotive industry if the next bailout happens.

We're in trouble people! Enough bitching about your OS X dock is better than the Start button.

Do you people have any real clue as to what is happening in OUR economy, in OUR country? America is on the verge of going over the cliff. We're printing money out of thin air to save our butts!

By the way, on Craigslist I can buy for $5 a G3 Mac, 400MHz what do you think? Should I? I believe it has 32meg ram and OS 9. It's the all in one unit. :-)

Oh and I agree with John P. on the economy.

And for Mike G. SCREW the Sarbanes Oxley Act!

"John, If you think Paul's so bad, then move on."

He said he would, but he won't give it up.

"Your convinced he's a shill, so be it. I think he's got plenty of cred."

Yet he peddle's his Spike TV crap on here, while complaining about the advertising space.

Seriously john, either contribute something worthwhile or give it a rest and STFU.

I think I'd rather read more of Ocean robertsjoe's's, or even losta's nonsensical blathering, or Lindy's pisspoor IT advice than your bitching and chewing about your ad host.
