  • From the reviews that I have read, the Droid seems not to have an excellent physical keyboard - it's described as mediocre at best (without any predictive text correction, either.) Also, I'm trying to figure out who at Verizon thought that I would want to buy a phone that puts Sauron in my pocket. ;) No matter; the Droid is a positive step for Verizon customers - say, those who might consider an iPhone but cannot get good service from AT&T;, or who prefer Verizon's customer service over AT&T;, or who do not want the hassle of switching carriers. The Droid looks to be better than anything WM or Blackberry right now, so that's good news.

    The DROID vs. the iPhone: It's in the Advertising
  • I honestly do not think that Apple cares all that much about being a niche player in the desktop OS market. At this point I think that they are content with trying to continue to grow share, or hold on to as much as they have gained in the last five years, realizing that they have a huge advantage now in the mobile market that people will be slowly migrating to as the devices become more powerful. Apple pretty much said that in their last quarterly financial phone conference; that they care more about growing profits that they do about short-term fluctuations in market share, and that they will not sacrifice profit for the sake of share. And as Microsoft's hardware partners continue to compete themselves into lower profitability with crappier products, Apple will, in the long-term, do just fine.
