Of all of the choices, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 seemed like the one that might be able to replace my tablet and cell phone. ... Call me a fanboy if you want, but I've tried both systems, and if this is what Android offers, Apple investors have nothing to worry about."]  The Motley Fool 7:58 AM

  • "To get ahead, Apple must leave Steve Jobs behind" ["With Apple the size it is now, new product categories not only have to scale, they have to come with scaling already attached. So where Jobs would have not worried so much about the atrophy of old product categories, choosing instead to simply invent the next big thing, at the scale where Apple operates presently there are fewer categories and those categories can't reach their potential without sure-fire associated content strategies. This is Tim Cook's challenge."]  BetaNews 1/18
