October 18, 2009 by Chris Dixon with 143 views

I carry around an iPhone and a Blackberry Tour. I know that’s ridiculous. The iPhone is a great device on an awful network; the Tour is an awful device on a great network. If the rumors are true and the Verizon “Droid” is a great device on a great network, I’ll be the first in line to get one. But for the wireless ecosystem as a whole,... [read more]

June 10, 2009 by Dave Stein with 199 views

I spent three hours yesterday trying to buy a new “3G S”  iPhone. First I went on the Apple site.  I spent 20 minutes there. They wouldn’t process my order because they said I don’t get reception at my home where I registered for new AT&T service. The fact is, I do get service there.

Apple took $1m per day in sales of apps at its Appstore on iTunes since launching the new 3G iPhone. Steve Jobs says it’s going to create a $1billion business… well, he said it’d ‘crest at half a billion soon’, which is a nice way to describe the run-rate of takings… What is significant about this new marketplace isn’t just the...
