@FarshadNayeri future article -
@monkbent a more interesting & intricate comparison is iPad vs iPad mini. They serve quite different purposes for consumers & Apple. -
@FarshadNayeri have written about that previously. See article last week about 13" iPad rumor -
@monkbent I agree with your multi-device doctrine, though I don't see this thinking (iPad vs. iPad mini) reflected in iPad≠iPhone article. -
@FarshadNayeri because that wasn't the point...

@monkbent agree & a fan.Can't get my head around $140 COGS phone est.Avg COGS all phones= $196 per iSuppli. My draft.pic.twitter.com/LcWBUUlEPp

@RAuguste look at android to see what's possible -
@monkbent huh? Asus, Samsung, HTC, Mediatek. I am married to an Evanston Wildcat, so I'm trained for a little direction and clarity :) -
@RAuguste I meant from a hw perspective, not the companies as a whole. $140 COGS with Apple experience is absolutely doable. -
@monkbent I'm disappointed I didn't get a laugh from the wildcat joke. - End of conversation

@monkbent 1st sentence of your latest post has a mistake: “Most folks *seems* to instinctively compare…”. Really enjoying your writings. -
@NateTehGreat thanks. Fixed.

@monkbent Agree wholeheartedly with every point, but that last one might change come this Fall when the iPhone becomes more of a “category.” - End of conversation

@monkbent ...another key difference: Apple could differentiate by form factor with iPod. With iPad, not so much.pic.twitter.com/1yVmzxOhOF

@monkbent Apple went too far with mini, prob due to competitive/value worries about Fire (eg back camera, that no one uses.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
