We all know Apple will rule the market they are in, forever.. I mean come on... the iPhone 4 launch is going to be such a disaster.. and why is that? because even Apple cant handle the insane amount of demand the new device is getting.

I forgot what I was going to say now.. Lol

Oh yea.. Acer makes cheap desktops and netbooks, thats the only reason they are earning so much (lower cost = loss at first but win if more people see the deal)

I bought an $800 Acer PC with pretty decent specs and it runs like an airplane, because the motherboard was just so poorly structured.

I was just expressing my opinion on how I think the iPhone 4 launch will be, due to the insane amount of demand it has.

Thats just in the US though, in all other countries they arent locked to one specific carrier. And if I could take a guess, the US only sells 30% of all the phones being produced (which is still great, its just not ALL of it)

So revenue will still be made.

And the thing you may not realize is, if any other carrier were to get the insane amount of traffic that AT&T has to handle, they would go down just as hard, or even worse.

So im guessing the way Apples looking at it is, "Why start off with a carrier that doesnt have the extreme traffic experience that AT&T has, why create the issues that occured when AT&T first started selling iPhones.. When we can continue to work with AT&T, since they have the experience, they have the money to invest in more advanced wireless technology"

Thats my opinion. I live in Canada and I dont really understand why Apple chose to only lock in the US with 1 carrier..]]>Jun 19th 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/Jun 19th 2010 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/freaken THIS. nothing will last forever at this stage of the game.

Apple has only been in smartphones a year longer than Android, with the AppStore launching the same year as Android. Apple isn't old by any means, in this particular industry. iOS4 and iPhone 4 will be mobile OS leaders thanx to smart strategy. Apple put iOS on all of their mobile devices with touchscreens, so, they have 3 separate platforms. I believe Apple will always be on top, because they has 3 separate, but, successful platforms. Analysts are saying iPad will reach 7-10 million by years end (and you have to wonder, will the next iPad be introduced next Jan, too?) iPod has always been most successful near the iPod event (Android, Windowsphone, Blackberry, nokia users all by iPod touch, right? That's why they can say they don't like iPhone) and iPhone will continue to bully the competition. There isn't a subsidized phone that does everything the iPhone does. Not even Android, but that commercial's is really just a joke. ]]>Jun 19th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/acer-expects-to-overtake-hp-as-worlds-biggest-laptop-vendor-by/
Exactly!

Quantity != Quality

Acer is cheap crapware that dies just after warranty just like the Dells I have had to help people with.

Now, onto the meat, if they are selling more it means they are doing something right. Yes, it isn't what is important to a well informed buyer, but people who want quality have to put in quality (even if just a 5 min Google search) research to find what to buy.
