First weekend sales set a record, but Wall Street found them 'disappointing'
FORTUNE -- Smartphone sales, like presidential debates, are a game of expectations -- although in the case of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5, it's one the analysts played but the company didn't.
In its Monday morning press release, Apple merely announced that it sold a record 5 million iPhone 5s in the three days...

Here’s a sign that all the TV advertising dollars in the world can’t always buy you market share and consumer love (useful lesson for politicians, too): a list of top ads in the U.S. for tablets puts Samsung way into the lead among vendors — but Apple, which actually is the best-selling tablet at the moment, doesn’t even make the...

The company's real mistake may have been not doing it years ago
FORTUNE -- Unbeknownst to me, I've been feeding geographical information into Google's (GOOG) mapping database for years -- searching for addresses, sharing my location, checking for traffic jams on Google Maps. Google, for its part, has been scraping that data for every nugget of intelligence its computers can extract. Without...

Just about an hour after Apple’s iPhone 5 became available for pre-order, the company’s website started alerting customers that their phones would likely arrive a week or two after the phone went on sale in its retail stores on September 21. Clearly, most pundits assumed, this meant that the demand for the iPhone 5 was so overwhelming that even...

Yes, Apple Maps redirect to Google Maps on desktop, Android and any non-iOS 6 phones when you share your location. Womp. Obviously this is happening because there’s no hub for Apple Maps on web, but still, the absurdity of this loop is exemplary of how ill-thought out this whole Maps switch was.

I was always a smart kid. Did very well on tests all through grade school, didn’t have to do much work because the work I did do suggested to my teachers that there wasn’t an issue. Just a couple missing worksheets, he’ll do fine. When I got to middle school, I took the usual approach to things, which, for me,...

Ok, I’m not a fan of Maps in iOS 6 Maps as you might have read. Seems like the folks over at Google aren’t either. By way of Motorola Mobility’s Google+ page, the company which is now owned by Google, this post just popped up with a fun hashtag:
Looking for 315 E 15th in Manhattan? Google...

FORTUNE -- Here's an odd discrepancy.
In a survey of 100 iPhone 5 buyers conducted outside New York City Apple Stores Friday, Topeka Capital found that 36% (the purple slice of the top pie chart at right) were purchasing their first iPhone -- suggesting that more...
