It would be interesting to see how he will write about coming back to iPhone when he realizes there are things more important than Flash. Comments how Apple is chasing Google because of something Android will do is also amusing.
Now, you are in denial ;)

I'm glad enough people agree with you that you don't feel the need to play the fanboy card.
Feeling a little touchy? :)
Wow, the backlash is in full swing.
>Froyo also will let you buy songs over the air and download them directly to your phone. Nice, now if only Android could make a decent music player...
Part of the beauty of Android is that you're not stuck using the music play that comes with your phone. There are many, many music players to choose from in the Android Market. I'm currently fond of MixZing ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mixzing.basic ), but Cubed ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl ) seems to be rising rapidly in popularity. There's even btunes ( http://www.appbrain.com/a…
Apropos of nothing at all, this reminds me of the argument for there being so many incompatible flavours (ahem) of Lisp.

I think it is more of a case of the software locking you to the hardware for apples case which is rather interesting now that the hardware, at least for Macs, is now pretty much standard hardware with regards to processors and such.
Uh, battey tech? Trackpad? Everywhere you look on Apple products (if you are discerning) you'll see them utilizing the crap out of their hardware control. If I'm not mistaken we're about to see Apple turn up the heat on further hardware differentiation on notebooks to take advantage of their multi-touch gesture patent portfolio, perhaps by elongating the glass trackpad. On the iPhone front I'm guessing that Apple's c…
Where does this assertion come from. Apple has produced a processor that does a great job at conserving battery life. Nothing that I have seen leads me to believe that Apple has the tech/experience to 'get raw graphics performance while simultaneously preserving battery life.'

Isn't that a conveniently simplistic way of looking at the past 30 years of Apple?
Remember Occam's razor: The simplest explanation is usually the right one.

Unless you don't want to be on Sprint of course. Some people really want to be on Verizon.
I will never, ever do business with Sprint again, after I cancelled my phone service (twice!), threw out my phone, and they mysteriously re-activated the account a few months later, silently accrued an account balance with late fees, and then reported me to collections.
We figured out that they did this deliberately to make people think they were saving money, knowing full well that most people don't look at their bills in detail. We agreed that it was fundamentally dishonest, and that left a bad enough taste in our mouth that we switched away from them. They switched us back, we registered an official complaint, got switched back, then (because of their stupid billing policy) had to pay bills for another couple of billing cycles.
That was 15 years ago. I've never even considered using Sprint since. If people around me start talking about their great customer service, then after a year or two I'll reconsider. Maybe.
I suspect that your story was likely similar to mine, and the silently accrued balance was the result of phone calls that they didn't bill you for until a couple of payment cycles later.

Correct, the price of the phone is about the same and I'd say my Droid Incredible is quite comparable to the iPhone in terms of quality and experience (I had a G1 before, which I loved, but could not quite say was on par with an iPhone). But there's another price- being locked in to AT&T, being locked in to phones made by Apple, being locked out of web sites that use Flash or apps that Lord Jobs has not blessed. The…
Hmmm. I got my unlocked HTC Desire for £350, and googling for 'sim free iphone 3gs' shows me prices in the £600 range.
It sure does make you wonder why Verizon is charging as much as AT&T for their Android plans when the device is almost half the cost. I guess the answer is because they can, because they have a better network. I also wonder if Android handset vendors will try to get a cheaper plan out of Verizon when the Verizon iPhone supposedly lands this summer/fall...

Remember Occam's razor: The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
E.g. in case of 9/11 the simplest explanation would be that planes randomly crashed into twin towers due to some simple mistake but since there is heaps of contradictory evidence it is not the correct one.
Just because its simple does not makes it correct.
