What does not make sense, at least at first blush, is that the financial results of all of the other major handset companies from Sony Ericsson to Nokia (NOK) to Motorola (MOT) were down.

It will also postpone a planned spin-off of its ailing cell phone division. (See pictures...
...fact that we're about to see a whole raft of devices coming out that could give the iPhone 3G real competition. Google's open-source operating system for mobile phones, Android, is just about ready to be shown off in many handsets, from makers such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG Electronics. You can bet that many of those phones will be way cheaper than...
