		<description>Oh yeah, RIM sales to business users have been up all through the economic slump. This is why armchair peanut gallery folks who &#039;saw these people do this or that&#039; make lousy analysts, at best. I&#039;m not sure if I like the fact that the Internet has given a voice to every teenager that can click &#039;start&#039; on WordPress ...

[Editor&#039;s comment.] Installing and configuring Wordpress isn&#039;t actually that easy and the creator of this blog has been developing software longer than any teenager has been alive. This site isn&#039;t called the Technical Fact Repository. It has the key word &lt;strong&gt;prognostications&lt;/strong&gt; in the title. Guesses based on observations by someone who has been developing commercial software for 27 years. The same sort of guesses that I make every day when it comes to things like (what should I name this button so as to confuse the fewest number of users? How should I structure the system so that it doesn&#039;t blow up in 5 years?). In the past I knew that companies like Sun were basically zombies (I loved Sun in the 90&#039;s). I knew that fuel cells wouldn&#039;t go anywhere any time soon (they do have a future). And I knew that Y2K was going to be a huge steaming pile of hype. I am not always right but I am rarely wrong on tech. Non tech, ignore me as I was sure gold was reaching a peak a few weeks back. A good example of a tech failure I got wrong was Transmeta. I loved those guys and their product. What I didn&#039;t keep in mind is that fighting Intel is basically like Iceland trying a D-Day style invasion on the continental US. Iceland might spend a few happy moments on the beach and even occupy some land until the US Army actually realizes they are there and bothers to show up.

		<description>Nice review.  My brother is a 46 year old stockbroker and your review correctly nailed him a blackberry user.  My wife, who works in the fashion industry, is an iPhone girl.  It&#039;s a status thing for her crowd.  Also, her crowd was iPod addicted before there was the iPhone so it was a huge feeder product.  Then there are the vast majority of us.  We shop based on functionality and price.  Cool is nice but will not pay much extra for it.  The Android will be cheaper.  It has a nice screen with a keyboard.  But what about the apps?  The GPS turn by turn navigation recently announced is a huge step in the right direction.

		<description>I think apple should start making efforts to attract more developers since geeks are already in love with the android promise of open platform and if google can deliver them at a good enough price point then there will be some kind of explosive take off as most of the people are fed up with only having a call-to facility on their phones when most of the phone can be made to do much more.</description>
