So, you can have a phone you have to figure out how to hold before you make a call, a phone you have to make all your calls at the start of the month quickly before it drains all your allowance or the other one which does neither. Hmm...
He says although his phone cost more than all those millions of Android ones, he's happy because he knows he has all the smarts and know-how of the best brains in the business behind his closed source OS, so has great support if anything goes wrong. Then he got his phone bill
See, after this: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/hitandrun-iraqi-can-stay-in-uk-2162049.html, the UK refused to send this noble Iraqi back after bravely killing a 12 year old girl whilst disqualified from driving, then heroically running away, because he similarly might be executed.
How fortunate we are the UK government set this amazing precedent and Julian can rest assured there is no duplicity now they've finally grown a pair.
Microsoft, playing their usual catch up, have announced one based on their new phone os (its got terrific XBox integration). I was wondering what its answer to blue screens and red rings would be.
Even though they fit in you hand, incredibly as we approach 2011 you can still buy "smart" telephones which need wires to transfer your data over, for example songs you may have paid someone to hold you to ransom to for the rest of your life. Being so primitive (or is the reason more sinister?) they obviously don't have memory slots or are compatible with the rest of the industry via USB or bluetooth, but even with all these glaring omissions they remain popular with people who prefer style over substance. If users want to transfer data between these devices in 10 years time they had better hope their manufacturer is still around and willing, probably for a hefty price, to help them out.
Using your argument - if there's only 1 device it has to be goddam perfect since all your eggs are in that basket. Hence the ludicrous situation earlier in the year when Apple royally screwed the iPhone4's antenna and *blamed the user* for holding it wrong. Its more than just marketing, its borderline brainwashing - they just could not under any circumstances accept their entire product range of 1 was a turkey. Fortunately, as has been said before, Steve Jobs treats his customers like idiots and, as usual, on this occasion they proved him right again.
Had an Android phone been made with a defective antenna, users would have bought a different model whilst the first is recalled, fixed and relaunched.
Microsofts new xbox controller isn't in the same ballpark. At first glance it even looks like a smartphone, but it can't be since it doesn't multitask, support flash nor even cover the basics like cut and paste.
Not a version 1 product? So when is cut and paste coming, or has it been mothballed because it's nowhere near as useful on a fiddly small screen device as the feature everyone's been screaming out for, xbox integration?
Shows the faith the manufacturers have in them, although its pretty obvious if you've just invested the eye-watering costs of setting up the manufacturing facilities you'd make sure it was so anyway. Look at the ranges from the initial players, HTC, Samsung, LG etc - turned off, there's nothing between their WinPhone 7 and Android models.

iPhones would only be able to call other iPhones Safari would only run on ios/macs and only be able to visit sites hosted by Apple servers The country would install a separate electricity network which only Apple products could plug into Human ears would be surgically modified to only hear the patented frequencies that reformatted content from iPods sent out. North Korea would ask his advice on how to run closed systems. He'd remove all traces of the 1984 video showing Apple busting big brother.

In other news, the Windows Phone 7 user is really mad. We tried to call him but he was out of credit.

He says he has to save all his money to pay his phone bill

Once its used up your allowance nothing gets past it at all.
His antics made me laugh so much my stomach hurt. So cough up, sunshine.

Its great news. m$ sue the inventor of the cellphone. Just think what patents Motorola can fling back in their newbie faces.
The iPhones most popular app - perhaps he was just expanding his skillset a little more.
And so it begins. Bitchbook better stay parked, it has no chance.
And he being the master prophet, too.
the iPhone 5
Perhaps they are announcing a Google Apps Inventor style simple guide to making the iPhones most popular App
Everyone is now waiting for the iPhone 5 but they should be happy the iPhone4 still runs its most popular apps just as well as before.
I'll just wait for the iPhone 5.
Shame it didn't play out as he expected.
iPhone 5 is better
