I don't see any reason to switch to another phone. I know the iPhone works for me, and it's worth paying the premium to get a product that I know I'll be satisfied carrying around for at least a year. To be fair, there are other phone's at the iPhone's price point. I don't pay my phone bill, as I'm on family plan,…

Yes, you can still jailbreak your iPhone and use it on T-Mobile. In fact, T-Mobile provides support to iPhone users to do so; they encourage it. However, notice I said "iPhones aren't compatible with T-Mobile's type of 3G." They're not. IPhone doesn't support 3G at T-Mobile's spectrum. You'd be confined to their…

Certainly it will boost awareness and may have it's big payoff if the Nexus can expand it's retail availability. I don't quite agree that the less tech-inclined love tablets more so than the tech-enthusiasts. My parents, for example, were very reluctant to delve into learning something new apart from the MBP line they…

T-Mobile wants the iPhone, but there are a few things that may be holding it back. For one, Apple iPhones aren't compatible with T-Mobile's type of 3G. I'd imagine that's a quick fix since Apple now manages to have the 1 iPhone 4S work on the CDMA Sprint/Verizon networks, the WCDMA Chinese networks, and the GSM AT&T…

I don't doubt the Google homepage will boost Nexus 7 sales significantly. However, there's a few implication to your argument that the type of people who visit the Google homepage aren't as web-literate. If they're not as tech inclined, I'd say they have less desire for a tablet, especially one they've never had a…

They may compete with the iPhone, but doesn't mean they don't copy the look and feel of the iPhone. Knockoffs inherently compete against the the original they're copying. You eliminate knockoffs, because they're illegal for infringing intellectual property. I don't understand why people don't want to see Samsung put…

Apple isn't claiming to have invented smartphones. In fact, they physically presented, in court, smartphones from other companies that manage to compete without getting close to looking like iPhones. If you want to go with the Palm Pilot argument, keep in mind Apple Newton PDAs came years before Palm Pilots.

That's not very nice. No need to get defensive. I didn't say anything about you or to you so there's no need to say anything about me. I don't understand why you'd take my opinion about the Samsung phones personally. I didn't realize how close Samsung phones were to your heart.

True, but I've had experience with the guys at the cell store trying to sell against the iPhone. Happened to me at Verizon oddly;they didn't have it in stock. The guy tried to sell my fam Androids so it was really sad to have to shoot him down. He had a who spiel, and was saying how they're just like the iPhone. We…

Doesn't seem like a big loss to the industry. They all look like clones of the iPhone. I'm surprised it took the jury as long as it did. Took me less than a minute to see those are copies. I'm excited to see what comes out of Samsung now that they're forced to innovate. Finally the industry can move away from…

It's not about doing things different for the sake of being different. It's about changing the way we look at using products to make them better, and more intuitive. If there's something Apple's good at, it's making people want things they didn't know they wanted. People weren't walking around saying "I want a tablet"…

Sure. http://investor.apple.com/ Everything to do with Apple's business is there. Check out the Earnings Releases for the breakdown of unit sales per product.

700 products? Pretty sure it was 24 products. I'd imagine the members of the jury have already made up their minds by the time they start to deliberate. Again, the evidence against Samsung made it comically obvious that they willfully infringed Apple's patents. Samsung failed to present much evidence, compared to…

A big argument from the commenters is that Apple in history has drawn inspiration from other companies. Everyone draws inspiration from everyone. However, I think there's a thin line between inspiration and copying the design or functionality patented by another company. Yes, Apple has been found guilty of copying,…

I see iPhone knockoff. The Lumia and Xperia, however, have their own identities, and don't look like iPhones by any means. Again, both rectangles, with icons in a grid. That's an oversimplication of Apple's claims. I hope Samsung drops that dumbass argument, before any Appeals. Countering it is as easy as finding one…

For one, the iPhone is oblong. Two, "not every smartphone needs to look like an iPhone," said Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny. Evidenced by the Nokia Lumia, and the Sony Xperia held in court, we don't all need to copy Apple to compete against Apple. They both have icons in grids. And in response to Samsung's statement…

I personally like to wait until after the first date to Facebook stalk. When I've done it before, I felt like our conversations were limited to what our Facebook has to say. I just think that limits the conversation; it's superficial. Profiles portray how we want to be perceived, as opposed to a full characterization…

Exactly. When the iPhone debuted, it was one in a whole world of different smartphones. Flash-forward to today and every company's got their own version(s) of the iPhone. Frankly, I like Apple, but I wish some other companies would give Apple a reason to innovate faster. Smartphone, tablet, and pc innovation are…

I think part of Apple's design philosophy is common sense. That's why their design aesthetic resonates with a large number of people, and why one could guess out of no where what a new Apple product will look like. Other company's could've done it first, but they missed the common sense boat. Again, Apple gave…

It could cost them the same. But would of course have the payoff of good PR, and the added bonus of having even more Apple devices out there selling the brand.
