A new study from market research firm Gartner pegs Apple's share of the personal computer market in the UK at 5.0% for the third quarter of 2009, ranking the company fifth among all vendors. The company's unit shipments increased 26.6% to move up considerably from a market share of 3.8% in the year-ago quarter.

This is kind of disappointing. I was hoping that Android wouldn't be relegated to obscurity. And it isn't because of the "competition is good...one of us one of us" thing. They were the best hope for increasing the quality of phones from HTC and such.

There are some really silly posts in this thread to be honest given the Android OS's current relative obscurity in the market and the fact that it's very much a work in progress - the G1 was, frankly, ugly and others have not been good.
However, the Sense UI equipped handsets from HTC - starting with the Hero - look to change that and give the brand prominence. I also think ...

NOT a license problem
This article is poorly informed, and Robin Harris needs to do a bit more digging before presenting suppositions as truth.
If Apple's main reason for giving ZFS the cold shoulder was the type of open source license the ZFS code base is available under, they would have also not have included DTrace starting ...

Marketers often ask the question "would you prefer 100% of nothing or 40% of something huge?"
Stupid question here, if ZFS is GPLed and Apple is able to use it freely, what is Sun supposed to be getting 40% of?

Flash chip size:
IIRC the biggest flash chips available are 64Gb (~bit) and not 64GB (~byte). This means you had to stuff 16 of 'em into an iPod touch 128GB, this wont happen. Not this year. Maybe next, but read on.
iPod classic:
Although there *may* be a demand for even bigger classics or classics with huge flash capacities, some thing remain to consider:

http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/2...tersues-nokia/ In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone a ground-breaking device that allowed users access to the functionality of the already popular iPod on a revolutionary mobile phone and Internet device. The iPhone is a converged device that allows users to access and ever expanding set of software features to take and send pictures, play music, play games do research, serve as a GPS device and much...

In addition to yesterday's published patent applications from Apple describing tamper-resistant labels and accelerometer-based menu navigation, Patently Apple noticed a third interesting patent, this one covering a universal charging station with a moldable elastic surface surrounding the actual connector, capable of conforming to and supporting devices with varying form factors. The patent application , entitled "Aesthetically...
