Bear Stearns analyst Andrew Neff wrote in a note to investors that competition in the mobile device market is “not between RIM and its Blackberry, and Apple and its iPhone but rather, one between smart handsets and ordinary ones, and believes the world is moving toward smart handsets,” Shlomi Cohen reports for Seeking Alpha.
MacDailyNews Note: Shlomi Cohen is a veteran Israeli financial journalist and stock analyst who writes the popular ‘Buy, Sell, Hold’ column for Israel’s leading financial publication, Globes.
Cohen continues, “I had occasion to discuss this over the phone with SanDisk Corporation CEO Dr. Eli Harari while he was in Israel two weeks ago to celebrate the first anniversary of the merger with M-Systems, whose team he never ceases to praise. In answer to my question about what was new on the market he said, ‘There is an earthquake taking place – that no one is aware of yet – because of the iPhone. Everybody wants to do the same thing, and with a good many flash chips in the process.’ We know more about this earthquake after RIM, and now all eyes are trained firmly on Apple, which will announce its own results in January.”

does he know laura goldman?
Know her? They’re in bed together.
That would be “knowing” her in the biblical sense, Grigori. Nice touch.
“‘There is an earthquake taking place – that no one is aware of yet”
That reminds me of that age old adage “If there is an earthquake in the woods and nobody hears it, do bears still shit?”
You better believe they does, buddy. The woods are full of them doing it all over themselves, right now.
let’s just pretend “does” didn’t happen….
“The woods are full of them doing it all over themselves, right now.”
Thus, this makes Steve Ballmer a bear.
Never has so much been made about so little.
Steve’s phone introduces some cool features that other phone makers are adopting and, in some cases, improving upon.
This will go on and on and on. Isn’t that the very nature of technology? Keeps getting better?
So, why all the hysteria about changing the world and crap claims like that?
It’s a phone-tunes player people. Nothing more.

So why do you bother to comment on something not important and just normal. you didn’t have to read about it here.
“Thus, this makes Steve Ballmer a bear.”

As Homer Simpson would sing unto you . . . “Spider troll, spider troll, does whatever a spider troll does. Can he swing from a web?”
NO, HE CAN’T.
Go back to your WinWeb, Spider Troll.

Shalom Shlomi!
So What you are so wrong.
Time will show you and the rest that this is true.
Oh, yeah, I guess I’m still in the Christmas spirit because I didn’t rip So What a new @$$hole with multiple examples of how revolutionary the iPhone really is. Merry Christmas.
“Whose fault is that?”
“George Bush”
Too much on his plate or the shock of too much pressure?

It’s that dang New Madrid. What was wrong with the old one?….

I rather liked the ‘does’, actually. I heard shades of Jimmy Durante.

I spotted him in the wold once. Careful! He’s dangerous when cornered, or when it’s raining men.
