:clap: Here's to AT&T keeping the iPhone......forever!
I can appreciate what you're saying, but do you really think Apple won't be a viable presence in the smartphone market within a year or two? "Game over for Apple" is a pretty definitive statement. Jobs is aggressively buying talent and IP because he knows iPhone dominance is threatened. He may be a control freak, but he's no dummy; sooner or later he will start taking risks to differentiate the iPhone from Android phones.Umm... PA Semi? Agnilux? This is important why? All they did was buy up some talent. You do realize how ARM licensing works, right? If not here is the breakdown. ARM Holdings does not sell chips, it sells manufacturing licenses. TI, Qualcomm, PA Semi, Agnilux and just about everyone + dog that makes an ARM SoC has a manufacturing license. This means they can make and improve on the architecture however they like. So now that Apple owns PA Semi they can manufacture their own ARM SoC to use and sell to the public. No more, no less.
I wish it was indefinate. Keep the iphone off the vz network. I used to want an iPhone,>>got Droid,>>Now, I do not want an iPhone. They can keep it. I'm not any fan boy. I just have a serious Jones for good gadget and since they made me Jones so hard during their 'exclusivity' that I got an ipodtouch to sedate myself, they can keep the iphizzle now. An Oc'd and themed Droid on a good network is the fix and I can tether the touch whenever need be.
