It's all about mobility, and people more than ever are absorbing what's new and fresh in this world. While I applaud them for taking this step, i ponder if its too little too late for these guys. I don't think "keeping a low profile" makes a lot of sense since Apple wants to keep things "big and loud" these days. In order to succeed, you have to make yourself stand out above the rest, do something that while it grabs attention, it has to be something above and unexpected, and I don't know if these guys are willing to take that bait just yet, but who knows, only time will tell what will happen next. - BLUEBOY

WE SHOULD NOT RIDE OFF MICROSOFT, JUST YET,
Apple was once behind the market, and no one wanted to know them.
Lets hope Microsoft has cleaned out the Old top management, and has brought in some young guns. Microsoft has the distribution, the factories, all they need is the right product. The right product is of coarse, light on its feet, and able to think fast.. i know it does sound difficult for a windows O/S to do. hahahaha
and if we buy it, and it fails, we can always recycle it for cash, to cash-A-phone



As one of the first people in the mobile phone industry, in Australia, i have seen mobile and sold mobile phones from $5000 to now. "would you like a phone with your fries", sir?
and now pushing the message "Its Pays to Recycle" @ www.cashAphone.com.au
