This is part of our responsibility to assist in the non-aviation domain. The whole purpose is that people will not know when we're going to be there or if we are going to be there. It's a preventative approach.

I have been fielding quite a few calls about Apple's filing of the 'Mobile Me' patent. Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question.

I saw my first Friesian back in 1980 when I was a judge at the California State Fair. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing --- the animation, the style, the tremendous stature.
