I agree. THey must preserve the premium nature of the brand. That means it's not meant for everybody!

..and of course, thinking about an "iwatch" adds intrigue to it all...whether people will buy into it is another matter: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/another-convenient-iwatch-leak-apple-reportedly-has-100-designers-working-on-it/2013/02/13/4cc6d86c-7599-11e2-9889-60bfcbb02149_story.html?wpisrc=nl_tech

The need to protect the brand is something that all luminaries need to remember...if they forget to care for their customers, then all is lost....and I view Apple as being on the edge in that respect......

Me personally, I think the 'cheaper' iPhone is a bad idea.

If it was, it should've been something to do from the onset. Why now?

I think you water down the brand if everyone has an iPhone.

@pcharles: they did...based on the number reported out that I'd seen.    I am keen to see how they manage the latest "rumored" product launches though..including the iphone 5S, the cheaper iphone..etc....

Regained?

Is that to say they lost it at some point?

Agreed..but Apple though seems to have regained the "Crown"....it is fascinating to watch and to reflect upon it. :-)  I also have fascinated by Alan Reiter's piece on Blackberry--I am counting the days until someone actually takes them over.

I think the analysts are looking ahead... Too far ahead but still in advance.

My pleasure....What is also quite amazing is how Apple's Bubble being burst is being affirmed by the markets...although their revenue/profits were again @ record level...not good enough--maybe they should adopt the Google Mantra..:-)

@mpouraryan, thanks for sharing this link. I am really excited about the S-Pen feature because Samsung has developed some excellent mobile apps that are pen-friendly.  Looking forward for the release of Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0.

Businesses often struggle to decide which domain to use. When it comes to purchasing a domain name, you have plenty of extensions to choose from, ranging from .com and .net, to .me, and even .mobi. But which one should you pick?

In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
