I do find the related article below this article a bit disconcerting:

"Apple posts a disappointing $6.6-billion profit"

We should have such problems. Sad part is the effect the stock market "pundits" can bring upon an innovative firm because they miss an arbitrary target set by people who contribute nothing to the capability of a company. Sorry for the editorial.

A Very Sad Day

Very sad to hear about the passing of Steve Jobs. Only 56. He changed our world. He saw his company become the most valuable in the world, and his ideas triumph.

Rest in peace Steve Jobs.

Also, a 1985 article in IEEE Spectrum about the design philosophy and realities of building the Macintosh. I have a copy in my office if you want to read.

Forecasts for Tablets and Smartphones -- End of an Era?

Submitted by Mardster on June 9, 2011 - 8:48am

Read an article today comparing current placement and project growth rates in the tablet and smartphone markets. Apple and Google look like the major competitors over the next few years, with Google's Android OS taking on the iPad and iPhone.

Look at the expected volumes of devices and also of the apps available.

The article does remind at the end of the decline of the PC market.

In the last couple decades, mobile phones (i.e. iPhone, Palm Pre, Android-based, etc.) and Internet enabled handheld devices in North America, Europe and Asia has made many leaps and bounds. Many universities have begun to embrace this new mobile venue by adapting their e-services to fit the handheld mobile form factor of these devices. This presentation aims to offer insight into the creativity and ingenuity that has been used at other academic institutions, and will provide simple recipes for tweaking and enhancing our new and existing e-services to make them mobile-friendly.
