Patent trolls getting their just desserts. Stop suing the competition and get back to what got you there: innovation!

If Windows 8.x is “innovation” I vote for “denovation.”

What innovation are you talking about?

Apple basically stops innovating after the iPhone was introduced back in 2007. What consumers continued to get was the same basic iPhone tech with slight increments in features with each new release.

As far as technology is concerned, the competition surpassed Apple's devices a couple of years ago, and it's Apple that is trying to keep up. Apple's only hope to stay competitive, is to continue the perception that they offer a premium device, and they way they do that is by keeping prices up. They could easily sell a lot more iPHones by lowering prices, and still make good profits with them. But, NO!!!, the premium perception is what they're shooting for.

Marketshare loss will eventually be the downfall of Apple, and that increase in marketshare by Windows Phones and Android, will have people noticing that they don't have to pay premium prices to get a great smartphone that can work with any cell-plan provider. When people start realizing that they don't really need an iPHone, Apple's marketshare will start to dwindle even more, to the point that Windows Phones will be number 2 in the world, with Android still enjoying #1 status for a while.

Apple is somewhat in the same position that RIM was at several years ago, and they didn't see the market start moving away from them until it was too late.

Apple always got there after their original computers by stealing from others. Jobs was never bashful about admitting it.
