  • jimlynch jimlynch answers Re: What could Apple's new "most important" project be?
    I think it's the elusive iTV. There have been rumors for ages that Apple is coming out with a TV, so it makes sense for that to be the product. I doubt it's just the iPhone 5, though I'm sure that will be neat too. But we've all seen iPhones before, nobody has seen the iTV.

  • jimlynch jimlynch answers Re: How good is the new Axis browser from Yahoo?
    I haven't tried yet, but thanks for the heads up. I'm skeptical it will matter much though, there are plenty of browsers available already on that platform. So they'll have to come up with something special to stand out. I suspect they are trying to copy Google and have their own browser.

  • jimlynch jimlynch answers Re: What will be the impact of Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility?
    I think it's a harbinger of doom for other companies using Android for their mobile OS. Google will probably end up trying to emulate Apple by coming up with a closed system, where they control the hardware and the software. Wait and see.
