Your SE P800 let you drag your finger across the screen to turn a page, eh? No it didn't. It didn't even have a touch screen. Sheesh.

Did your ebook reader app come out before the iPad? The iPad's had this little feature since Day 1.

I don't see the problem with this patent. Apple didn't patent the functionality of turning digital pages, as Eric points out. They just patented their specific execution, which is Apple's invention. They have "a" patent on turning digital pages, not "the" patent on turning digital pages; other companies are free to

Seriously? I didn't even have to read the lonked article to know that headline was a big eff up. AMAZON is losing up to a billion a year. Why hasn't this been corrected yet?

What do mean for first time in a long time? For the first time in a long time, Apple is debuting more than one current generation iOS device in the same product category. When Apple debuted the iPhone 4S, or iPad 3, there wasn't another current-generation version to report separate sales for. Notice they didn't

Oh because Apple's running out money suing people, and their profits are down. Oh wait.

I don't know who you're trying to group me in with, but I personally don't believe Apple competitors should be bashed in reviews of Apple's products. I was pointing out that Brian, at this point, has proven to be biased against Apple. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that he's able to spin the most positive news

I didn't say it's a good product. I said 3million iPads sold the first weekend the mini and the 4th-Gen iPad debuted, yet Brian turned that to a negative. He reported it suggesting Apple was concealing iPad Mini's sales numbers because they're low. In reality, Apple never publishes sales figures for individual devices

But any author who makes a positive comment about Apple on Gizmodo is labeled a fanboy. Likewise, any author who makes a negative comment about android is labeled a fanboy. I can't say whether or not all of your Apple articles spin any sort of news negative, but lately there's been a noticeable pattern emerging.

by are, I mean aren't. As in "aren't mutually exclusive."

While I'd say that Brian probably has no business reviewing Apple products (no offense), I don't see any self-contradicting going on. He gave positives and even more negatives, but those opinions are mutually exclusive.

We all knew the iPad mini had its shortcomings as soon as it was announced, but you should only buy the mini if you're "desperate" and have "thousands of dollars sunk into iOS," eh? I'm not saying this is a terrible review. But really? Why is Brian reviewing this? I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he has a history of

Yeah, let me refer you to the headline. "Apple Only Pays 1.9 Percent Tax Outside the US." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that means the 1.9% is what Apple pays outside the US, not in the US, as you're asserting.

By articulate I meant particular.

Apple doesn't disclose sales figures for individual models. This article is a non-story. Not breaking down sales numbers is business as usual for Apple. So why is this news Giz?

Congrats on being employed.

What do our US politicians have to do with the tax rate Apple pays abroad? This article is saying that Apple pays the 35% tax in the US, but an average of 1.9% abroad. The takeaway is that the US charges a prohibitively high tax rate. Thus, Apple, like every multinational doing business in the US, keeps as much money

Apple doesn't disclose sales figures for individual models. Nothing to do with this articulate launch.

You haven't said anything really counter to what I said; we pretty much agree. I should add that Amazon prices their device the way it does, because that's the only way to get their devices in the hands of consumers. I understand that they're choosing to recoup money from their content business, but if that business
