AAPL earnings

Quote from syswizard:

OK, OK, I was wrong on AAPL. However, I am convinced that Samsung and Windows Mobile is making strides in competing toe-to-toe with Apple. And at some point in time, the apps will catch up and the lower prices will become compelling.
AAPL will then be under pressure.
I love my Samsung Focus S. Can somebody tell me (other than apps), what does the iPhone 4 have that the Focus S does not have ?

The name? ...and Siri...

Ecosystem.

example: a lot of cars are rolling off the assembly line today with built-in ipod/iphone connectors. Though maybe not the best example, that showcases how easy it is for someone to bring an iphone into their lives, and why someone would want to keep iphone in their lives.

That being said, I do feel though that the Samsung Focus S has a stronger chance against other phones. I feel like it may do what the kindle does: doesn't compete with apple, but sweeps up the rest of the market

these kind of predictions burn a hole in a lot of short seller's pockets.
"at some point in time" is a worthless prediction. it is less precise then a broken clock is right twice a day.

"what does the iPhone 4 have that the Focus S does not have ?"
at minimum iphone4 has cachet.
at most it has functionality and cachet.

It's as worthless as your vague responses.
Cachet ? I paid $1 for my Focus S. IPhone is definitely overpriced.
At some point, economics is going to override "Cachet".

Currently the iphone 3gs is free with a contract. Next year the iphone 4 will (probably) be free with a contract. Not that it's hard for economics to override cachet here, but at this rate it will take a long time to happen

your response is a typical childish schoolyard response whining that you can outdo me.. I said one part of one of your response is vague and worthless.
it was too much for you to handle.
