We'll see what's still standing a few years from now. I'm sure the driod marketplace will be another short lived phase. If the iphone were opened up to other carriers, you'd see alot more of them then you already do.
We all have different loyalties and tastes so it's doesn't really matter. Just a fun pointless debate. Y'all enjoy your phones
yeah, its pointless but still fun to argue about something as silly as cell phones
short lived was the windows mobile OS. android is a different story. people have been saying android will fail for months. do you stay up-to-date at all in the tech world? have you seen the market shares for each? i'm confident apple isnt going anywhere, but it is no longer the main player in the smart phone world as it was years ago.
the android vs apple war is gonna be the same as the apple vs PC war; apple's restrictive practices will eventually hurt their market share. that's why PC is the universal platform and apple computers are only used by a small niche. apple is alienating themselves the same way in the smartphone world.
if steve jobs isnt worried, then he's stupid. he knows whats going on. not only does he have to worry about Google/Android that has made incredible leaps and bounds in the past couple months with their OS', but they also have to worry about phone manufacturers that are running android. Motorola, HTC, Samsung to name a few. these are no names to be taken lightly. android phones are coming out every 2-3 months, each more ridiculous than the other. meanwhile apple is pushing out one phone every couple years. see the pattern?
by the time you get the next iPhone there will have been dozens of awesome android phones. after the original motorola droid there was the Nexus One, the HTC Incredible, the HTC Evo, now the Droid X. in a few months will be the Droid Pro with a 12mp camera, 2ghz processor and 1gb of RAM.
gotta wake up and smell the microchips. there's no reason to put up with apple and AT&T's controlling BS anymore. i love all these high tech gadgets. each one that comes out only pushes the bar more. while i love to hate on apple they do make cool products. the cameras on their phones are still the best ive seen to-date. ill give credit where credit is due.
but blindly saying 'zomg droidz are teh sucks and iphone winz' without having a clue isnt very smart
