All is forgiven, mostly

Now that Rico knows that Real Dan is really (or was) Fake Steve, life is much clearer now. (And Rico doesn't need any more confusion in his life these days, thank you very much.)

A link from his site takes you to an article in Forbes with a great title (esp. if you're a Lord of the Rings fan like Rico): One iPhone To Rule Them All:
"Once again Apple will leap ahead of its competition and made life even more difficult for rivals in the already overcrowded smart phone market. In less than a year Apple has sold more than 5 million iPhones, according to market researcher IDC, which estimates Apple had a 19.2% share in the U.S. smart phone market in the most recent quarter, placing it well behind Research In Motion (maker of the BlackBerry), which had 44.5%, but still ahead of Palm with 13.4%. Market researcher NPD says iPhone was the top-selling smart phone in the first quarter of 2008, ahead of the BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve. The most amazing thing about the phone market may be simply that, despite the iPhone's numerous flaws, a year after its arrival the other players still can't make an appliance with greater sex appeal. LG and Prada built a touch-screen phone, but it was an overpriced dud. Sprint's new Instinct phone from Samsung is okay, but it's no iPhone. Nor is Verizon Wireless' LG Voyager. Nokia's N95 has a better camera than the iPhone, plus GPS and an FM tuner, but the N95 isn't as intuitive. Nobody does ease-of-use like Apple."

Rico says those other 'phones' ain't shit...
