It's just perspective.

The iPhone may fit for one person, but not another. Android may fit that person, but not someone else.

Apple should be commended for busting down the door to open up the market to this generation of smartphones, but past that, use what phone you like.


i agree with that. apple set the bar seriously high, but others have caught up. i wonder whats next for cell phones. or if cell phones will just be mini tablets from here on out.

Well well well.... apparently the Woz was misquoted.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/18/excl ... -is-bette/

Quote:
Woz says he gave the De Telegraaf reporter a lengthy demonstration of voice commands on iOS and Android, pointed out that Android offered the ability to say "Navigate to Joe's Diner," and suggested that Apple would catch up through its purchases of Siri and Poly9. According to Steve, that's about it -- he says he'd "never" say that Android was better than iOS, and that "Almost every app I have is better on the iPhone." Woz did say he lightly prognosticated that Android would become more popular "based on what I've read," but that he expects Android "to be a lot like Windows... I'm not trying to put Android down, but I'm not suggesting it's better than iOS by any stretch of the imagination. But it can get greater marketshare and still be crappy."

That's the angle I got from the first article...read the OP.

When he said android would "win" and compared it to windows I assumed he was talking about market share.

All I know is I've owned a lot of phones, and I've absolutely hated something about every one of them... except for my iPhone.

I don't understand why people see people who are passionate about Apple as fan boys. There's a reason for that passion. Their shit fucking works... and it works really well. Better than anything else I've ever handled.

But I understand that it isn't cut and dry. A lot of that has to do with personal preferences. All I'm saying is there are reasons to believe that Apple's quality control may be a little bit better than their competitors.

It's because they usually sound like a cross between a preacher and a cars salesman :lol:

No offense intended ;)

You can hate on the retina display all you want, but it was independently analyzed by some scientists who determined that the pixel density was high enough that most people could not discern individual pixels. There were some outliers in the data, but for the vast majority of the public their statements were correct.


it was from encyclopedia dramatica. its a joke. its also making fun of apples marketing ploy when discussing it.

The problem he did was "resized" something, not zooming in or out.

When you resize you will always see the Anti-Aliasing in a picture, but when you zoom in and out you will lose the AA since it gets way small also.

Photoshop AA's everything and when you zoom in to see the pixels you can see them, but not when you zoom out.

But since you said it was a joke, he did it on purpose then because he knew that is exactly what would happen when he resized it too.

I still want an iPhone4, and will get one, because I hate my POS Blackberry. Makes me want to throw it against a wall everyday.

Yeah, Blackberries suck ass.

My GF just came up for a new phone, and instead of getting one of the Droids, she got a Blackberry. No idea why. The thing is a piece of crap.
