iPhone uber alles By Charles Jade | Published: May 11, 2008 - 04:21PM CT Expected iPhone coverage by mid 2008 Philip Elmer-DeWitt at Fortune provides content for a slow weekend, as we ponder Apple's strategy for world iPhone domination. What's amusing is the visual representation is a classic strategy to winning the board game, secure the Western Hemisphere first-only three points of attack! To recap the blitz of rumors and announcements, the iPhone is set to expand its territorial reach with multiple carriers in nearly thirty countries:

Another Classic Rip-Off Job By Ars Technica
http://www.parislemon.com/2008/05/another-classic-rip-off-jo...Ars Technica is really good at stealing other's ideas. Plain and simple. Anyone else, and I may have given them a pass that they came up with what seems to be the exact same approach to a story that I took last week. Not Ars Technica. They've done this

Blogs and the attribution dilemma
http://mathewingram.com/media/2008/05/12/blogs-and-the-attri...I wasnt going to jump into this one, mostly because it seemed kind of inside baseball (i.e., not that interesting to lots of people), but as we all know one of the main things the blogosphere likes to do is blog about blogging, so I thought I would take

Ars Technica Has No Shame..But That's Nothing New
http://www.ipdemocracy.com/archives/2008/05/12/#002984MG Siegler has this well-justified rant against uber-tech news site Ars Technica. His basic complaint is that Ars Technica is "really good at stealing other's ideas" because they ripped off a piece he did likening the global spread of the

Bloggers spat over proper attribution
http://techwag.com/index.php/2008/05/12/bloggers-spat-over-p...Not to degenerate Venture Beat at all, but really a spat over attribution is one way to start out Monday morning, probably not the best one we could think of, but there it is all the same. Reminds me of academic honesty, there are no consequences for

Ars Technica - Plagiarism?
http://silkcharm.blogspot.com/2008/05/ars-technica-plagiaris...Lots of chat at the moment online about Ars Technica being plagiarists. Here's some of the discussions - Duncan Riley: Ive always liked Ars, but lately Im starting to wonder. Ive heard people allege previously that all Ars does is rip stories off,

世界制覇に向けて
http://maclalalaannex.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/%e4%b8%96%e7%...[iRisk: Expected iPhone coverage by mid 2008] アップルは一斉に世界市場に打って出るつもりらしい。 ウワサに出ているのはつぎのような国々だ。 • Vodaphone: オーストラリア、チェコ共和国、エジプト、ギリシャ、インド、イタリア、ニュージーランド、ポルトガル、南アフリカ、トルコ • América Móvil: アルゼンチン、ブラジル、チリ、コロンビア、ドミニカ、エクアドル、エルサルバドル、グアテマラ、ホンジュラス、ジャマイカ、メキシコ、ニカラグア、パラグアイ、ペルー、プエルトリコ、ウルグアイ • Rogers Wireless: カナダ この他にも、つぎの国々がある。 • SingTel, Bharti Airtel, Globe, Opus: シンガポール、インド、フィリピン、オーストラリア 2008 年中に 1000 万台売り上げるという公約を守るためには必要な措置なのだろう。 軽く30を超えるこれらの国々を地図にプロットすると、列強が植民地分割を図った帝国主義時代の地図みたいに見えてくる。[冒頭画像参照] 残るはアジアの中国と日本だけだ。 両国ともレベニューシェリングをめぐって交渉が行き詰まっているといわれる。 Ars Technica: “iPhone uber alles” by Charles Jade: 11 May 2008 * * * 無為に過ぎゆく時は誰か他の者にとっては(マイクロソフトにとっても)チャンスとなる。会社の深奥から叡智を集め、「まあまあの」(good enough)iPhone キラーを半額で作れるからだ。レベニューシェアリングを維持して1千万台売れるのがいいか、それともそんなものなしで1億台売れるのがいいか。アップルよ、賽を振って iPhone の進軍を進めよ! Every day that goes by is a chance for someone, even Microsoft, to pull its collective corporate head out of the nether regions and create a “good enough” iPhone competitor that costs half as much. Is it better to sell 10 million iPhones with revenue sharing agreements, or 100 million without? Roll the dice and move your iPhone armies, already, Apple.

★ Charles Jade, suggesting that Apple abandon hard-to-negotiate revenue sharing agreements with phone carriers around the world: Every day that goes by is a chance for someone, even Microsoft, to pull its collective corporate head out of the nether regions and create a “good enough” iPhone competitor that costs half as much. Just like how every day is another chance for someone, even Microsoft, to create a “good enough” iPod competitor for half the price? No one’s going to beat Apple by being “good enough”. The only way to beat the iPhone is by creating something better. Someone may well soon deliver such a worthy rival, but, if so, it sure isn’t going to be at half the price.
