it seems that most of the robberies are for cell phones and iphones. in fact, every morning monroe sends us the daily recap so it lists all the major crimes -- stabbing, shooting -- but it includes robberies and we get this and we read through it and we look through it, and through march 10 through this morning there have been 19 robberies for cell phone. they are not all just robberies, but some of these people have had guns put in their face. a lot of these the person has been thrown to the ground and punched in the face and have had injuries. and this is just since march 9. some of these people have been wrestled to the ground, their pockets have been searched, they've been smacked in the head by multiple people. these are people being robbed for a cell phone. we had a meeting two weeks ago and captain was addressing that issue and he addressed tips to avoid street robberies. and we heard from the public. there's a lot of concern regarding the raising cell phone robbery issue. it's having an adverse impact on their lives. i thought, what can we do b

and these guys were responsible for numerous robberies of iphones. what we found out from the people we've captured in these cases is that the iphone has become the hatest trend because they're upwards to 500 dollars. and so even talking to one of our suspects he admitted that it's easier to go steal an iphone, sell it within 20 minutes and get $200 than it is selling drugs or crack on the street because of the propensity of these they can sell over and make money very quickly on the resale of these. we have tracked 'em to certain areas south of market where they are sold madly. we do respond directly down upon as soon as these are reported, we know they're being sold within the next hour. we do have response of our officers down to these surgeon areas. what happens and what we're doing with project safe is to educate the public which i think is our primary goal right now -- that and arrested some of these thieves. these statistics are not necessarily singular events. a lot of these involve backpacks where iphones, ipods, i pads are all part of a rob

most of them are the community being somewhat aware of this iphone. so if i were to hold up $500 and just carry it like this or carry it down the street i don't think anybody would say that's a bright idea buzz that's exactly what you're doing as a victim. you're holding these things out and they're worth anywhere from $200 to $500. include that all your personal photos, your address book and they're out there and people aren't quite aware of it. we've been trying to advertise in the newspapers about the safety of these iphones in particular and we commonly see the victims have 'em out or they're texting. we have an incident where somebody was walking down the street texting and somebody came up and took their iphone. so that's one of the problems we see mainly. so we 're doing this by press releases, crime alerts, public service announcements, it's on our websites. each morning i personally conduct the conference call at 11 o'clock and we go over the big 19 an we go over additional robberies in each district. we look for patterns that these suspects

check in with you later. >> the name iphone is known worldwide. did you know iphone's famed device was almost called something else? apple's former advertising lead ken segall made the revelation talking at the university of arizona. he said three names were considered. the telepod, tripod and mobi which is short for mobile. apple was almost not allowed to use iphone because of a dispute with cisco over the name. the two sides eventually resolved things. >> i can't imagine it being called anything else. >> welcome back, christina. good to see you. >> i would be better if mother nature wasn't doing me dirty. >> work, work. >> i have been tracking the storm for a while. it looks like now we are getting the worst of it. we have a series of storms marching in. the most weather we have had. in fact, the most rain we have had this year so far on the way as we head through the next couple of days. now we are seeing the actual cold front draped across san jose and gilroy getting hit as well. the south bay traveling cautiously. it's active. let's track the

the iphone web page saying that there is the iphone and then there is everything else.ry list of reasons why it this phone is much better than all the other funds out there. frankly, i'm not sure if this is the most effective way of doing things because the fact remains that samsung is for phone is just a gosh darn good phone. here is a side-by-side comparison and put together of some basic features. a bigger screen, high-resolution screen as well. allows you to expand its memory. as a different operating system, of course. better pixel and some features you won't find anywhere else including the smores role which is a tilt in escrow. atilt as crawl. it counts your steps. your calories throughout the day. the fact remains. sandra: competition is signed. >> reporter: in this going to get even fiercer. david: apple stock over the past couple of days has been up. part of that is because samsung tried to oversell. you mentioned the read nothing. first we thought it can read your eye movement. then, as you pointed out, it's not really that. it's just tilting the machine. >>

portfolio and remember, that the iphone 4 at just $100, iphone 4 is free on contract, but the history is trying to compete into china with samsung, where samsung is now the market leader. stuart: i want to ask you the technological side of these things. is the samsung galaxy 4 the cutting edge in smart phones? >> yes, i think it will be. >> that's the new tech leader in smart phones? >> all speculation until-- >> i can speculate with the best of them. this is the most important product in the world. there's no more important product anywhere than the smart phone. and you're telling me that samsung has now grabbed the technology leadership in this most important product? >> i think it does. yes, it has. stuart: what do you make of this 3-d camera? >> i don't think it's going to have a 3-d camera, as a matter of fact, because we've seen them before and they've failed. basically that requires two lenses on the back of the phone to snap a 3-d image. and i don't see it in the images and the rumors, i don't see it happening. >> okay, how about the eye scroll? >> the eye scroll is very cool.

i am not saying it is an iphone killer, but the fact that it is iphone word the is very, very concerninggadget it comes out of any company. a new wrinkle, a new feature. i defer to both of you who know more about this. i read your book. the inner workings of apple and e uniqueness of the technology, but i always found that incarnations of other phones are sort of ripples of apple features. i am saying that in this case. neil: let me give you an example. >> it makes moving the cursor when you are typing much easier. still a terrible experience. i am thinking when i realize this for myself, this just can't be. apple cannot be behind on something as fundamental as typing. they are. regular consumers understand that. neil: is that it? >> it is relative. one person finds it frustrating another person finds a freak. you will always have a holy wars between conservatives and liberals. in for devices. steve bell was making indra iphones i would be more concerned. that is pretty much the final choice these days. neil: but isn't that old genre house selling apple? >> in aggregate, yes. the thing y
