Speculating On What a Microsoft Superphone Might Mean
smitty777 writes "Forbes is running an intriguing story on a new 'Superphone' under development by the folks at Microsoft. According to this leaked MS roadmap document, the plan is to build the Apollo-based phone in the 4th quarter of 2012. FTA: 'In the end, however, none of this matters. Microsoft's "peek into the future" is barely a glimpse into what the company may or may not have planned for 2012. While the "superphone" bullet is worth noting, it is not the confirmation of a revolutionary new product. At best, it indicates that Microsoft wishes to compete with Apple by offering a product that is, well, super.' It's also interesting that Sony and AT&T also appear to be working on superphones of their own."
Microsoft's recent track record is shit. Why are you faggots sitting around talking about vaporware from next year when you could probably get laid tonight if you'd wash your clothes and take a shower.
More pre-release Microsoft hype about a vapor product that is going to change the world. What ever happened to Windows Phone 7 changing the world? Remember Windows Phone 7? Neither do I.
Please get a real job. I'd be interested to know how much Microsoft pay you though. I mean, you are paid right? If you're doing this for free you really need a life.
Ducks, "great software" from Microsoft, google sucks, etc
If you cant recognize that Microsoft has made SOME great products, then youre either ignorant or a fanboy, and probably both. Examples: Exchange, Outlook, Excel, Visio (FINALLY there is a worthy competitor in Gliffy), Win7 (Hows gnome3 / Unity treating you?), etc.
Im just not sold on the whole Phone 7. Minimal isnt something MS does well; most of their products include the kitchen sink.
As an Android user, i can tell you without a doubt, Android has no polish.
Yes, they are my opinions (no I don't work for anyone, nor do I get 250k year)
All my Android phone has ever done is crash. And i still rather use it than iOS. My personal opinion is iOS was written by evil professionals, and Android was written by well meaning 12 year olds. It's a great operating system, horribly implemented. When i had to root and install a cooked rom just to get the camera to take more than 2 pictures in a row, there is a problem. GPS broke 2nd day i had it, but thats samsungs fault.
Why would he need to be paid? It's a good product. My son's iPhone and wife's Android device look primitive in comparison to my WP7. I've only got 50,000 apps to sift through, but that will improve, I think.
