What's Up With 3G Performance in the iPhone?
Apple's Problems - Bad to the Core?
Apple still tops the ACSI’s customer satisfaction survey — ten points higher than closest competitor, and yet your article starts out saying Apple is bad to the core and here you contradict your own article with documentation that Apple has great customer satisfaction rates, would the satisfaction rate be high if Apple had serious problems.
As a prior person stated Apples problems wil eventually be solved.
Another thought. Apples march quarter reported $1.16 however if you include the deferred income Apple's earnings would have been $1.45, approximately 25% higher. Those who complain about Apples high PE should consider the deferred income when calculating the PE for Apple which would yeild a much lower PE.
Apple's Been iSued
"There are lots of people reporting on the spotty iPhone 3G reception issues and according to Barron’s it looks like the BlackBerry Bold may be experiencing those same 3G reception issues. The Bold is available only in a couple countries at the moment and isn’t yet available here in the U.S. so there is the possibility that the Bold’s software will be updated prior to the release.
According to the Citigroup analyst, the Bold does have an amazing display and updated BlackBerry software that adds HTML email and a better web browser. But the 4.5 software update (the Bold runs version 4.6) is available for some current devices and will be widely released for other devices and adds the HTML email, better browser, and video recording capability so there may not be a compelling reason to upgrade. I use my EDGE-enabled BlackBerry Curve and the Opera Mini browser and new BB 4.5 browser works quite well without 3G. In truth, I hardly notice that 3G is not supported on the device since email also seems very snappy. I tested the Sprint BlackBerry Curve and am not sold that 3G data is a compelling feature on a BlackBerry. 3G is a vital feature for phone calls though since you can answer a call even if you have an active data connection.
I haven’t seen a definite release date for the BlackBerry Curve on the AT&T network and the reported issues with the 3G radio may be delaying the release. There were reports that the Infineon chip was a possible cause of the problem. My search results indicate the BlackBerry Bold uses the Marvell Tavor platform for 3G so the problem with the iPhone may be on the software side, which means it can be fixed by Apple. ."

For the last few days I have wondered why there were only a few listing for some popular items I was searching for, now I know why.
How rediculous this is, I want to see and bid on the lowest priced items and this system doesn't appear to let me do this .

Three Apple Fears That Were Blown Out of Proportion
Bravo and cudos to the writer who understands that Apples earnings for the iPhone are not reflected in earnings, most analysts and writers don't get this. The earnings report reported in April where Apple reported $1.16 would have been $1.45 if iPhone sales would have been included.
Apple is the most innovative and admired USA company and its earnings hopefully will be reflected in years to come.
Apple: Expecting Short-Term Weakness
Where they missed was that they guided lower on the NEXT quarters analysts estimates probably because of costs for R&D, but this next quarters miss had NOTHING to do with the current quarter just reported. Learn how to read conference calls and financials before writing incorrect articles. Perhaps the writer has an alterior motive.
Apple’s Uncharacteristically Sloppy Execution
Almost daily banks report billions in losses and their stocks go up. Rimm missed and its stock went up right after earnings. Apple had stellar earnings & the stock went down, manipulation at its finest. Today Costco reported they will miss, even good companies are missing but Apple didn't. Apple beats in a terrible economy and the stock takes a hit, this is ridiculous and pure manipulation. Where is the SEC? Oh, their giving Fannie and Fredie a free shorting ride, how about the other stocks, manipulation at its best.
Apple is the best tech stock and they prove it each quarter, hang in there Apple will reward long term holders.
