Apple's Biggest Macworld Surprise Isn't a Product
With a single quick press release, Apple was able to stop the steady stream of rumors about its Macworld 2009 product announcements. January's Macworld Expo will be Apple's last; and, perhaps more consequently, it will no long have Steve Jobs as CEO. Why such extreme moves?
$99 Netbooks at Radio Shack?
Acer, AT%T and RadioShack have collaborated to offer a deal that brings the Acer Aspire One netbook to sell for only $99. The Acer Aspire, with integrated 3G wireless technology, usually sells for $500. AT%T is subsidizing the cost of the device, however customers must agree to a two-year AT%T DataConnect mobile-broadband service, which start at $60 a month.
Beware the Netbook Hype
In a new column, Lance Ulanoff says, "I get a big kick out of the way everyone is falling all over themselves to anoint 'netbooks' as the next big thing," . Ulanoff agrees that the economic downturn is positive news for these $350 stripped down portable computers, but thinks their success is largely coming from good marketing. Is a pricier laptop a wiser choice?
Will Microsoft Buy RIM?
Even though Tim Bajarin dubs the prediction outrageous, the notable analyst is predicting that Microsoft may make a bid for RIM in 2009. "BlackBerry customers are almost as fanatical as Apple users," he argues, and Microsoft's Windows Mobile strategy is growing unstable.
