Why Is This Man Smiling?

And this year's "things we say that come back to bite us right in the ass" award goes to Palm CEO Ed Colligan, who was interviewed back in November '06 during a Churchil Club event by the New York Time's John Markoff about his thoughts on Apple's secret development of a mobile phone device. Colligan proudly boasted...

"PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in."

Oh, Ed. I feel your pain. If only I hadn't consumed that last Gin and tonic at the company Christmas party I might not have told my boss he looked sexy in that suit he was wearing. He still gives me nervous looks as we pass each other.

Walt Mossberg Says iPhone Beats BlackJack and Treo 750

Wall Street Journal columnist, Walt "Uncle Walty" Mossberg says iPhone beats out the BlackJack and Palm's new Treo 750. High praise indeed coming from such an ~~Apple shill~~ unbiased product reviewer.

"...But if you're in the market for a smart phone and can afford $499, you might want to wait until June for the Apple iPhone. The Apple entry is so full of promise that anyone buying a smart phone in 2007 should at least wait for the full reviews and a chance to try it out."

Can Apple Penetrate the Enterprise Market?

By admin#IM, Thursday, Jan 11, 2007 a 3:25 pm

Carl Weinschenk from ITBusinessEdge calls the iPhone a "Milestone in Business Mobility". But can Apple really lure corporate customers with what is clearly a consumer play? I don't see that happening. iPhone is, by design, an entertainment device...not a business oriented mobile productivity tool like the Treo or Blackberry. It would be nice to see the IT world embrace such a lavish smartphone, but it's going to take much more than style and software elegance to dislodge Blackberry.

Who Says iPhone will Kill RIM?

By admin#IM, Thursday, Jan 11, 2007 a 3:17 pm

The National Post has published an interesting story about Apple's sudden appearance in the smartphone market, how its presence will impact all major players, notably Palm and RIM. For better or worse iPhone certainly forces both companies to rethink their product strategies and take software more serious, which hasn't been the case for RIM and Palm.

Still, that doesn't mean iPhone will be an instant success...
