The GF and I were at the beach for a good part of last week. I have to be real careful with the cell phone around.
Lol epic fail Apple. Yet the masses will flock to it and gobble it up. And yes, I am an iPhone owner.
Like Run said, sounds like what the Droid system has been doing since it came out. C'mon Apple, hit us with something better.
Many Android phones have "out-speced" iPhone for a while now: +Bigger screens +4g +Faster Processors +Flash Support +SD Storage etc.... To many people these things just don't matter. It comes down to the UI and software and Apple has done a better job with that IMO. I haven't seen anything in the new iPhone that makes me want to go out and buy one. Most of the rumored features are already on Android phones.
Have you seen what Apple's net worth is these days? If Apple is putting out a product that is already out there and can still dominate the market the way they are, that is anything but an epic fail . . . in fact that situation sounds more like an epic marketing success.
I got a free iphone 3 a few months ago when I broke my phone. My contract ended this month actually, and I talked myself into getting a phone with the Droid OS. the Iphone is nice for the purpose it serves. But Safe to say it will be a long time before I go back to Iphone. I am enjoying Droid much moreso.
Question from someone who isn't a tech person and went with the iphone because that is what everyone is doing and I didn't want to fall out of touch with the current tech trends: What I surprising liked about the iphone is any app I downloaded from itunes on my home computer or Ipad I transefered over to my iphone. Can you do that with the droid? What I don't like about the iphone is the typing (but getting used to it), the battery life and the RECEPTION is terrible. What I like about the iphone, very user friendly and has made media sharing very simple compared to my past smart phone.
I have an old flip phone. No texting. No applications. But it does ring and I can talk to people with it. It's all I want. I see so many people whose iphone, smart phone, or whatever the hell they're called, just run their lives. It's an addiction. No thanks. I'll be blissfully ignorant of it all.
People without cell phones could say the same thing . . . I see people with cell phones always answering or talking on their cell phones to the point it runs their lives. I'll pass. I think these modern devises simply your life, not run them.
people who voice command unnecessarily on phones are fucking dumb shits. i guess if you're driving its ok or something but people look like such tards doing so in public. happened at a meeting, some guy was trying to show us some restaurant recommendation and voice spoke it, didn't really work that well.
My iPhone4 already has a lot of voice activated features, this just seems to add to what it already does.
