The iPhone 3G can be described as being extremely similar to the Sega Dreamcast game console. If that’s the case, the iPhone 3Gs is something like a really souped-up Microsoft Xbox, sitting in between the original Xbox and the Xbox 360.

A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

Microsoft could have thought of it. But they’d have argued internally about ways to monetize it. Apple could certainly have thought of it. But then they’d have argued internally about the need to keep the technology proprietary and to control and limit everything, including the future of the standard and the scope of what people are allowed to do with it. Both companies would have ruined it. Google seems to be doing everything right.

Think Netbook

Its inevitable. Apple will have to reconsider its “no netbooks” stance pretty soon.

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA is a beautifully designed piece of kit to lug around. And affordable notebooks (i.e. cheaper and slightly less powerful than the MacBook Air) like the Acer Timeline and HP dv2 are getting lots of interest.

What’s so great about these netbooks? Three things:

  1. Affordable
  2. Light
  3. Desktop OS

As Andy Ihnatko said in his 1008HA review:

It also marks the start of an increasingly awkward phase for Apple. Their customary argument against a Mac netbook is (and I’m paraphrasing) “You can’t make a $400 computer that isn’t a piece of junk.”

The Seashell is no piece of junk. It’s truly an elite machine in everything but performance. And there are more coming. Today, I installed a beta of the increasingly impressive Windows 7 on it, and that coppery taste of Windows XP was washed away, too.

If Apple doesn’t come up with a compelling response to Windows netbooks, and if Windows 7 stays on schedule, 2010 could be one hell of an interesting year for the OS Wars.

Even a Mac-dependent user like me would consider a Windows 7 netbook for simple on-the-go stuff. Sure beats a laggy and annoyingly slow iPhone or iPod touch (until the 3rd gen comes out with better specs and faster CPUs).

Competition is good.

Labels for Desktop picture in the Mac’s System Preferences: Shall it be “Sentence case” or “Title Case”, Apple? (BTW, this will be fixed in Snow Leopard.)
