| 564063 | 2007-07-04 11:37:00 | No wonder Microsoft Bill Gates lost to Carlos Slim. First for stealing, second didn't do a research properly, and didn't profit properly before selling the product. What happen to Bill? And Paul etc. Actually Bill has been giving most of his billions to charity for years. Carlos Slim is still building his fortune. Microsoft is constantly doing research to the tune of several billion dollars a year on a whole range of software. The difference is that they are not very good at competing on a level playing field against large well funded innovative competitors like Google (internet search) or Apple (portable media players) and they are in a very competitive market in the game console arena with Sony PSIII and the Nintendo Wii which compete very well against the XBox360. Microsoft is very strong in the business software department which is where it makes the most of its billions although it does compete against both SAP and Oracle in these areas. |

| 564066 | 2007-07-05 04:15:00 | It looks like the UK distributor O2 will have exclusive rights to the iPhone when it arrives in the UK at Christmas. business.timesonline.co.uk |

| 564067 | 2007-07-05 06:54:00 | who said this was a new revolutionary product? it's got less features/stuff than it's competition (by price bracket) as far as i can see, all it does new is bear the apple brand |

The tie-up, the mobile phone industry’s most sought-after deal in years, marks a major coup for the 18 million-customer group. The final contract is expected to be signed imminently. The phone, which should be on sale in time for Christmas, is expected to prove a key weapon in enabling O2 to win and retain customers in one of Europe’s fiercest mobile markets." |

| 564069 | 2007-07-05 07:15:00 | I am just starting to see why winmacguy has a fairly large post count. I wonder if he realises that he is groundbait for a litle bit of piss taking?? C'mon winmacguy, give us a breakdown of the % of i-mac/pod/phone/burgers stuff defending posts, as opposed to other stuff. Ken :cool: |

| 564070 | 2007-07-05 07:15:00 | you didn't actually answer my question, yet again you simply pulled some more marketing and pro-apple media/propaganda to distract us from the fact i just made a valid point - that the "revolutionary" iphone isn't revolutionary at all, it's just yet another overpriced apple product selling on hype and fashion. | motorbyclist (188) | ||

I pulled the quote from the TimesOnline.co.uk which is just a news reporting publication. It will be interesting to see how the UK public reacts to the introduction of the next generation handsets from the likes of Nokia once they start selling from Nokia stores in the UK in relation to the iPhone. |
