So MarketWatch has set up a site to complain to, but doesn't accept your complaint. Interesting. I wonder if Dvorak had anything to do with it? Maybe they just couldn't keep up with the negative comments about John!

I think they all know what they're about--which is promoting the Beast of Redmond. I actually like Dvorak. Dvorak is just having fun--voicing, counter-intuitive nonsense in a search for page hits. But Market Watch, if they're taking him at face value, are sadly deceived. If they're expecting accurate analysis of market trends from him, they've misunderstood him. He's taking them for a ride. I followed your suggestion, dropped them a line and told them so. I don’t like Thurrott or Enderle or Ou. I think they all know what they’re about–which is promoting the Beast of Redmond.

"Apple Inc.'s past successes have been in markets that were emerging or moribund." Is he seriously arguing that the current smartphone market *isn't* moribund? Well, I should know better, but hell why not.

Is he seriously arguing that the current smartphone market *isn’t* moribund?

I also kept my last phone till they switched off the network :) So I'm not an ideal customer for the mobile phone market either but I *am* going to buy an iphone, just as soon as it arrives in my country. Probably 2 years away, sigh. I’m on a prepay phone so I don’t have a contract and I don’t get a free phone. I also kept my last phone till they switched off the network :)

I do the same, and it's only a choice in that it's a choice between that and getting a pricey phone that still annoys the heck out of me. I got a RAZR last time thinking I'd pay for a better phone, and I despise it. If Apple can make me genuinely excited about my phone - and the iPhone buzz has certainly done that - then they have my money. “I get whatever looks vaguely interesting and is free on my contract, and only when my current one gives up the ghost.”
