MG Siegler:

Either way, based on the images in front of us, the best way tothink about it appears to be Path meets Instagram meets Colormeets (Path?s new side project) With — with a few cool twists.

Sounds great, except for the Path, Color, and Facebook parts.

Pogue on the Samsung Chromebook

post from Daring Fireball on 16 June 2011 08:03:40 PM. © Daring Fireball

David Pogue:

Truth is, considering how stripped-down the Samsung is, you haveto wonder why it?s as big, heavy and expensive as it is. You canfind plenty of full-blown Windows laptops with the same price,weight and size.
Maybe the Chromebook concept would fly if it cost $180 instead of$500. Maybe it makes more sense if you rent it (students andcorporations can lease Chromebooks for $20 to $30 a month). Maybeit will fly once this country gets free coast-to-coast 4G cellularInternet, which should be just after hell freezes over.
For now, though, you should praise Google for its nobleexperiment.

Really? Why? Would everyone have praised Apple for its “noble experiment” if the $500 iPad had been too big and heavy, felt like it was worth only $180, and was “a 3.3-pound paperweight” when offline?

Did the Bottom Drop Out on Blackberry Average
Selling Price

post from Daring Fireball on 16 June 2011 06:03:39 PM. © Daring Fireball

Matt Richman does some back-of-the-envelope math:

Last quarter the ASP of a Blackberry smartphone was $302.26. Thisquarter it?s $268.56. Things aren?t looking good for RIMright now.

He might be off somewhat, because he had to make some assumptions to work out the math, but I’ll bet he’s in the ballpark. Remember, RIM announced a few quarters ago that they would no longer be reporting ASPs, because, obviously, they knew the numbers weren’t going to be good. They were right.

Wishful Thinking

Ki Mae Heussner, for AdWeek:

“I think apps are dead in three to five years,” said SethSternberg, CEO and founder of Meebo, which connects people withtheir friends across the Web.

Noted.

For advertisers, that means the ability to track users as theyhop among different programs — from The New York Times “app” tothe Facebook “app” and beyond — and then potentially serve uprelevant ads.

Sure would be great if advertisers could track whatever I’m doing on my phone.
