Blackberry smartphones are selling more than iPhones because *snip* Third, and most important - iPhone is more than just a smartphone. It's a platform with which Apple will try to branch out into different markets
Blackberry is outselling the iPhone because the iPhone is a platform Apple will use to get to other markets?
Expect things to get worse when this xbox exec 'sexes up' the iPhone. Probably with some lime green styling. And make it bigger. Yeah, chunkier. And the appstore will be renamed to iPhone live - where you can only rent apps.

Thanks for missing that the joke made much more sense after my change
Erm? Ok. Maybe to you.
Anyway - sorry for the late reply, I didn't even realize you'd replied!
I don't know if you realize, but it is a very hard to see your posts when they're all at -1.
Perhaps if you start being a little less offensive, you'll get some more karma.
Especially with the "2 GB" RAM part,
Well, I used the term RAM the same way the submitter did. Incorrectly.
But I think we'll see $35 Android 7" tablets by the end of the year. (probably not from the Indian govt however)
I believe the prices set by these chinese (post-)shanzai shops show what's practically possible...
What would you say to a 7" touchscreen android with wifi & 2GB RAM for under $100 delivered to your door.
I don't see any reason that price can't be halved for a large enough order & then you're only looking at a $15/unit subsidy.
Actually, the question is "why does", not "why would".
Actually, the question is "what was the loud wooshing noise going over your head?"
is it that Apple lock their devices down too much? Or that they are not locked down enough? Can't be both...
Why can't it be both? Can't you grasp the difference between too locked down for the owner and too locked down for an attacker?
Let me put it in the same way (including misspellings) as your original post:
Suckure from what? External sources?--Generally not enough. Secure from the owner modifying the software directly?--Generally too much.
Sucure from what? External sources?--Generally yes.
The last major ios crack required very little user intervention. Visiting a website & sliding a button IIRC.
Secure from the owner modifying the software directly?
That is precisely what Apple is trying to prevent owners of the software from doing.
after not posting for 4 months.
Four months? You can't even count.
Busy handling your many accounts?
Chuckles. Tell me now. Why do you think I have many accounts? I'd be fascinated to know who you think my sock puppets are.
That has got to ... be the worst Shatner ... impersonation ever.
Wow! Noone's going to see your Shatner impersonation if you're posting at -1.
Why don't you try to get more karma? It's not hard.
You don't think it's an apt name because snow leopards can't roar?
(I'll let you figure out the analogy).

That logic is.... curious.
The way you write betrays you:
He's too much of a control freak to let Tim Cook or anyone else sabotage the juggernaut he helped to create
Why would Cook be 'sabotaging'? We're talking incompetence here, not malice.
If you think Sculley's Apple will make a comeback then you're mistaken and don't know history.
Sorry - the downfall has already begun. RIM is again the biggest smartphone maker.

Apple's a major religion.
Scientology is not a major religion.
You're like an Egyptian going for a swim.
You are in denial.
This account is effectively anonymous.
But you assume I would? Projection.
No assumptions of any sort made. You are in denial.
Why the fuck would I bother to post anonymously? This account is effectively anonymous.

Do you believe that Gandhi would have thought the militarization of an entertainment device was 'great'?
You proved that many times over in your posts here throughout the years. But at least you're not in denial.
You know, at least I have the balls to log in & admit I've made a stupid mistake.
You? Anonymously snipe & never admit your stupidity.
You are in denial.
--Mahatma Gandhi
wow you really are whiney ...
Well, I am a mac fanboy - its our 'thing'.
Reread the question you quoted [emphasis mine]
The real question is: are the military funded applications sold through the Appstore?
In that light, your answer is incorrect.
Guess so BulletFlight is available in the AppStore for $29.99
Try wrapping your right-wing-chickenhawk, learned-about-the-military-from-FPS-games, Limbaugh-and-Fox-News-addled brain around that one.
Gosh! Stereotype v Stereotype! For the record, I'm too old for FPS & am not American, so have never watched Limbaugh / Fox news....
And I like Gandhi, Lattes, small cars, etc.
I'm a Gandhi loving,
There's not many who truly love Gandhi & respect his teachings who see militarisation of an entertainment device as 'great'.
I'm prepared to believe you're the exception to the rule tho'.
