Microsoft Admits Apple's iPhone Is Better
The big question when will the recession impact luxury items like an iPhone, or is a $200 phone not a luxury item. I've put off buying one so far becuase I prefer the accuracy of a touch keyboard, but the other day I was viewing contracts in pdf on a client's iPhone and it was a way better experience than my Blackberry Curve. So my next phone may be an iPhone. But I won't buy it until the price drops, or the 3rd generation appears. I always prefer to buy the 3rd iteration of something.

Should Apple Consider Buying Yahoo!?
if AAPL were to buy Yahoo, they could bring clarity to Yahoo's messaging , and simplify their UI, however AAPL would need a search engine preceived to be better than Google's to make it work.

The Political Case to Short India
India's middle class will continue to enlarge, and will drive domestic consumption more importantly these next 5 years. It's a given the Indian economy will be stronger and bigger in the future. The recent sharp weakening of the rupee against the dollar will reverse. The appeal to send money to India to simply invest in CDs is enticing right now. The big question is what the impact of real estate speculation will have on the economy, and how long it'll take the middle class to absorb all the real estate currently being held vacant by speculators.

RIM Faces a Critical Month As Apple Gets Tough
However, the iPhone is not a business phone, and because of secuirty and management issues. RIMM is not going away, they may not grow as fast as APPl, but they will continue to grow, and until AAPL comes out with a keyboard for the iPhone they'll have a distinct advantage over the iPhone.
When I'm searching for real estate online, it's way more efficient to use a keyboard.

Apple Valuations: Still at Risk
AAPL - every iPod user will eventually buy an iPhone. itune maintains the trade-up strategy, RIMM, has some technical lead in mail delivery, but over time, this can be emulated by the wannabes. Yes AAPL's UI can be imitated over time like windows did to MAC, but iTunes is proprietary. AAPL is safe over the long term for this.
