Google is software company. Its business model is profit through Ad delivery. Relying on a software company to deliver world class hardware such as a mobile phone that rivals the iPhone is akin to ordering Pizza in an English fine dining restaurant. This ICS “upgrade” is a joke.

If you haven’t been following the digital transformation of the Chinese media, here’s some news for you: a newspaper in Beijing has developed a tablet that will carry its content exclusively.

Don’t understand how people like David Gewirtz who writes for ZDNet can get it all wrong. Fire is a book reader. Comparing the Fire to an iPad is plain stupid, and the comment about Flash? But, the real fact is, Flash is not dead. It’s baked into many web sites, and I’m talking about real [...]

I have always loved to see how Apple describes itself in their PR documents, this is their latest version: Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software.
