so ATTs exclusivity deal is no more?


It's up in the air. Based on some legal stuff that leaked years back it was a 5 year deal that expires next year, but most reputable stuff you read from people who have a clue say that either side could break it at any time since they're loaded with poison pills. IE, Apple could say that AT&T isn't meeting certain service level goals, or even break out based on the current data plan changes. Nobody knows for sure, but as they say, contracts are made to be broken. :)

are you serious? two of my friends have droids, one the new incredible. its so fast, its obscene. he pressed brower, put it espn.com, hit enter, boom. instantly. not 2 seconds later, i mean, he hit enter, and it was up. the iphone might be the best, for now, but everyone is saying how close it is. people around the industry.

the iphones great. the only apple product ill probably ever own. but other phones are catching up. thats for sure. i mean, its like, you can only do so many earth shattering things before, really, the only different between one version to the next is smaller things like.. running 2 apps at once, which really, most of us dont care. so, while they make minor changes, other phones can come running up, and catch up almost, till they too, plateau.

if i could get ANY phone, it would be the nexus one. but sadly, that phone hasnt sold well, and verizon dropped it from their network, which blows. and the nexus one supposedly exceeded the 3GS. guess ill never know.

android is a HELL of a platform though.


ESPN is running HTML 5... that's why. ;)

Their browsers are very fast... faster than the iPhone 3GS. But as this battle continues to wage, and technologies get more and more complicated, the gap is going to grow-- not shrink --due to Apple's in house creation of software and hardware designed to work in unison.

Some people see it differently, and time will tell. But it's nice to have a company out there that cares more about the overall user experience rather than loading up a list of features to appeal to the mass general public.

When Apple implements things, they do it right.

They won't because they haven't ever been forced to. They were it for years, and they refused to accept that there are now legitimate competitors to what they do.

Jobs makes a good point. If lack of Flash was such a huge deal, people wouldn't buy the products.

He also points out (correctly) that he's yet to see a phone that runs Flash well. Adobe's attempts to show it have failed miserably or ate battery, neither of which are good for end users.

Just wanted to add that an iPad is sold once every 3 seconds, and that they've shipped over 10 million iOS devices-- that don't run flash-- since the original iPhone.

Well, not always. But they do have a pretty good track record.

Let me revise that statement to post-2000 Apple... Steve-Jobs-reunion-tour Apple. :D

Another thing I love about Apple:

"There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will."

—Steve Jobs

Obama paraphrased that quote when he came to Buffalo last month. :lol:

I also have a question if any of you might know the answer.

I have a BB Curve from AT&T with the unlimited data plan already, and I'm due for upgrade this June, As I've said I plan to get an iPhone 4, that contract will and should just carryover right?

I mean I already have a smartphone plan so it shouldn't make a lick of difference if I switch to an iPhone or does AT&T and Apple screw you on it if you are upgrading also, because I wouldn't want to screw my parents with it for another two years if they didn't want AT&T again also.

WRONG. The data plans end up the same, but AT&T is changing their data plan structure. Look into that.

Well, AT&T already changed it June 7. You had to be grandfathered into the original "unlimited" (soft cap of 5GB) plan. I'm not really sure if AT&T will grandfather the BB plan and I'm thinking they won't.

If you have the $30 iPhone unlimited data, and don't change it, you're fine. You can keep it even if you re-up your 2 year or upgrade equipment.

As long as you never take that unlimited plan off, you're fine.

That 2GB for $25 is a crock of shit. You get 3 GB less for only $5 less. Definitely does not make sense.

Add to it that you have to pay an additional $20 if you wish to tether and that comes out of that aforementioned 2GB. I have no desire to tether, but I think it's complete bullshit.
