Its safe to say, my prediction on the Verizon event was completely wrong.
Verizon announced the iPhone4 for their network today.
So, will you be switching?
Personally, I’m going to be waiting a bit since I just upgraded to the iPhone4 when it was announced. When the wife and I get closer to our contracts, I have a feeling that I will be a Verizon customer. Hopefully LTE will be out by then in Des Moines.
Verizon has announced a mysterious event next week and they’re not giving many details. The Wall Street Journal is predicting the iPhone on Verizon. Engadget isn’t 100% sure but as they state, where there is smoke…
My personal opinion, Verizon isn’t going to announce the iPhone on Tuesday. Why? Its a Verizon event. And Apple is NOT going to let Verizon announce Apple’s phone going anywhere. I just can’t see it.
I think we’ll see the iPhone announced later at MacWorld 2011. It makes more sense for Apple to announce it at their event.
Today was the official launch of the Apple App Store. I’ve had a quick chance to play with it and here are a few of my thoughts.
First off, it goes without saying that you have always been able to easily install software on your mac. You just had to find it. Sometimes it was through the Apple web site, but most of the time it was through word of mouth, tweets, blogs etc. It wasn’t easy.
Software development isn’t about implementing every feature that a customer requests. Its about implementing what is right for the product. And a lot of times that involves cutting existing features and more time than not, simply saying no to a feature!
So I was checking out CNN today and I found this article titled Mac share grew after Windows 7 debut.
In the article, you’ll see some gems such as this:
If Microsoft (MSFT) was hoping that the launch of Windows 7 would halt the erosion of its operating system market share — and curb further inroads by Apple (AAPL) — there is no evidence that it’s working yet.
In fact, preliminary data released overnight Sunday by Net Applications show Mac OS X’s Internet share growing by 2.73% in October, from 5.12% to 5.26%.
