Quote 1
\n<\/strong><\/em>\u201cThere’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It’s a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I’d prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get.”<\/p>\n

-\u201dMonkey Boy\u201d Steve Ballmer on the iPhone<\/a>. Reality? iPhone is outselling all Windows mobile devices combined<\/a>, commanding a whopping 27% of the smartphone market. Not to mention they sold over 1 million phones in 74 days.<\/p>\n

Quote 2
\n<\/strong><\/em>\u201cPC guys are not going to just figure this out. They`re not going to just walk in.\u201d<\/p>\n

–Ed Colligan\u2019s response<\/a> to the rumor of an iPhone. By the way, how\u2019s that Foleo doing Ed<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Quotes 3, 4, & 5
\n<\/strong><\/em>\u201c…its phone, even if immediately successful, will be pass\u00e9 within 3 months.\u201d
\n\u201cThere is no likelihood that Apple can be successful in a business this competitive\u201d
\n\u201cIf [Apple is] smart it will call the iPhone a “reference design” and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else’s marketing budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

–Dvorak on the iPhone<\/a>. Are you using a mouse these days D? Dvorak is the gift that keeps giving. He\u2019s been spewing out garbage ever since he claimed that nobody would use this experimental peripheral we call a mouse. I\u2019m surprised he has the gall to keep the iPhone story posted. <\/p>\n

In other news, check out this story<\/a> and the video that story links to (caution – not work friendly). Is this crazy or what? She is suing. Claims they are portraying her video as pornographic. Now how can you not make a video like without knowing what it was trying to portray? What was she thinking she was looking like writhing around and moaning like that – a mouskateer? She\u2019s an idiot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
