As long as others can't prove their ability to execute and Apple proves they no longer understand their customers, Apple will continue to be seen as an innovator and trendsetter.

From a pure hardware perspective I feel companies like Sony are far ahead of Apple. But they don't have the same pulse of the US consumer.]]>Apr 4th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://bit.ly/ipads-early-conceptualization-inflated]]>Apr 4th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/exactly as you said.
I fully agree with you.
Sony and the others have entire engineering teams designing new stuff.

only difference:
Apple's patents are made by random people drawing a thing that might look good, on the corner of a table cloth in the restaurant, and put a 3 lines description of it, translated by lawyers into a patent claim.

I have not seen many of these being more than that or having even a prototype.

well! I guess that might explain why people bash apple for it, and not sony.]]>Apr 4th 2010 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/forgot to add:
patents are created to protect industry investment in R&D, thus allowing them to research more freely, and research more.

these patents are 10 minutes jobs, which are worth zero. how can a patent apply then?

that is the problem of patented ideas. which only seems to exist in the US (most of the other countries reject such patents. this also, blocks innovation, as other companies then cannot develop as much by fear of the big bully]]>Apr 4th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Apr 4th 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Apr 4th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Apr 4th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Apr 4th 2010 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Apr 4th 2010 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/Yeah, but he's sry so it's OK.]]>Apr 4th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/
Also you don't have to do it in the store. I picked up two yesterday for the boss and they offered to do it so I could go to the workshop, start using it before I get home etc. but I told them that they were gifts so I didn't even want to open them so they just informed that I needed to plug it into itunes etc and off I went

although some stores it seems would prefer plugging it in before you leave in case you got one of the few but possible lemons. like a dead out of the box battery. then they can replace it before you even leave. ]]>Apr 4th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/
