If Ovi Store was as Good as This Video About It…
…Nokia would have kicked Apple’s ass long ago.

Gene Munster tells a Good Story, But is it Believable?
I definitely don’t agree with Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who believes that iPhone will be the dominant mobile platform. Silicon Alley Insider’s Henry Blodget was right to argue that Apple’s mobile phone business would go the same way as the Mac did in the 1980s and 1990s.
iPhone’s Chinese Disconnection?
Yesterday, several Wall Street analysts swallowed their pride and iPhone sales projections after the first four days of official iPhone sales in China amounted to 5,000 units. Whoa, 5,000? I’m stunned China Unicom sold that many.
SAI Chart of the Day: 2B App Store Downloads
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A chart can say so much more. Earlier today, Apple announced 2 billion downloads from its mobile App Store and 85,000 applications available. Silicon Alley Insider put that apps into a shocking chart.
Headline of the Day: ‘AT&T to Welcome iPhone Users to 2003 Tomorrow’
From John Paczkowski over at All Things Digital—and it’s an understatement. “At some point late tomorrow morning, the carrier will release an update enabling MMS,” he writes. About a minute later, AT&T’s network will go all to hell—it’s the end of the world as we know it—as iPhoners break out in one giant unison MMS.
My Run In With Fake Steve Jobs
It’s not the first encounter. But this time, I fought back.
Last week, someone tweeted that I had been Fake Steved. Last week, at Betanews I blogged: “Why I chose Windows 7 Over Snow Leopard (and you should, too).” For Fake Steve (aka, journalist Dan Lyons) that translated into post title: “Borg lapdog says you should choose Windows 7 over Snow Leopard.”
Nokia and the iPhone Hype Problem
In little more than an hour, Nokia World convenes for two days in Stuttgart, Germany (local time there, 9 a.m.). It’s an event that many US analysts, bloggers or journalists will look at with disdain. If hype were the only measure of success, Apple would be the world’s largest handset manufacturer. But for all the iPhone bark—much of it coming from the United States—Nokia has got way more bite. Not that most Americans will hear about it.
