Yeah remember how Mad Money said it was going to go up up up after the bold came out...I just looked at it and I thought for sure i would see a pretty nice bump about where the Bold came out at...But nope.

It did, but it got lost in the noise around Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. Pretty hard to buck that kind of trend.
Today we have AIG making everybody dive for cover. Tomorrow, who knows, but September 25 is first quarter results. I am confidant the news will be positive, like nearly 20 Million subscribers.
First Google Android phone to cost $199 - WSJ - September 17, 2008 4:17PM ET
NEW YORK, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The first mobile phone to use Google
Inc's Android mobile operating software will cost $199, the Wall
Street Journal reported on its website on Wednesday. The phone,
which features a slide-out keypad, is being manufactured by
Taiwan's HTC Corp and will be sold by Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile
USA unit, which plans to unveil the device at an event in New York
on Sept. 23. AT&T Inc , the only U.S. operator selling Apple
Inc's iPhone, set the price of the latest version at $199 in July,
setting a benchmark for smartphones that can surf the Web, manage
email and other multimedia features. The Journal, citing people
familiar with the matter, said T-Mobile USA plans to release new
data service plans in conjunction with the Google phone that will
be "aggressively priced." Google, HTC and T-Mobile USA declined
comment on the pricing for the phone. (Reporting by Tiffany Wu and

I don't see what the big hype about Android is. It hasn't proven itself yet. I will not give it the green light until it's out and users have messed around with it.
If it is a hit, then RIM will have lots to worry about. I've said this over and over and this will probably not be the last, RIM needs to re-work/revamp, whatever you want to call it, their OS.
You have Apple, Android, Windows (soon to come out with a banger as I see it is attacking Macs), & even Palm introducing new a OS. What's funny I was talking to a guy in my data department (Area Manager) that said RIM is old as I asked him why he wasn't getting the Bold. He told me RIM has limitations with the OS. This is the reason you still aren't able to have apps on a memory card, still have the memory leaks, 1gb of memory! and a couple of other things. Same old lady, with a new wig!

I love RIM/Blackberries, but I do indeed believe they are getting too comfortable.
App Store...
Google/Android will have an app store.
Apple has an app store.
Windows will be coming out with one from all the rumors.
