The stories about the blackberry’s may be planted, but many (if not most) of my clients have ditched their BBs for iPhones. My boss is just about to ditch his after many months of iPhone envy.
The BB is just TOO business oriented IMHO.
One question: Does the new N1 support existing Iphone SIM cards? I want to be able to flip-flop!
When are cell phone makers going to bring down prices to compete with cheap unlocked Chinese GSM phones?
Answer: Never.
No surprise. I bet Rupert is kicking himself for buying Myspace at the peak.

Yup, you might have to dick around with data settings a bit.
The biggest news out of the MIX10 conference is that the dev tools are free. Oh, and they have a new (sort of new) app store.
If Facebook is #1, Google should be sweating their ad revenue.

Watch out for that FCC high-speed broadband bill to be loaded to the brim with corporate subsidies and anti-competitive clauses. Maybe see if you can force ISP’s to be a little more than dumb pipes while you are at it.
“The FCC is going to release an ambitious, pragmatic national broadband plan …”
Tech 5 Report from March 15, 2010
The words “ambitious” and “pragmatic” will cancel each other out. 100 Mbps will certainly be a common speed within the next 10 years for at least 100 million Americans with or without the National Broadband Plan.
Services such as Verizon’s FIOS and the cable TV industry’s DOCSIS 3.0 standard are becoming much more common.
Also, does anyone see slow upstream speeds as a very large potential bottleneck?
IE9 has a long way to go, seems that not all HTML5 features are implemented, there is no UI. All this and more, for ~14.5MB.
