Yeah, that's why the iPhone has been selling so well in Europe and Japan.
No the real reason is that Nokia is a phone company. No one in tech news gives 2 shits about phone companies, they care about computer companies. Apple and Google, well they are computing companies, it's why they have actually made successful smartphone OSes and Nokia is lagging behind.
Damnit, it's his watch that he paid for with his money, he can do whatever he wants with it since he owns it! So what if he wants to dual boot linux on his watch and run Apache from it while torrenting the latest American Idol, it's his right!
I don't think you understand, in the near future all carriers will be locking down their Android based devices. They will be as locked down as an iPhone if not more-so. Look at the HTC Aria as a sign of what's to come.
Except that 80% of laptops sold over $1000 are Apple and most high end computers tend to be Macs. It's more entrenched than Linux on the desktop that's for sure.
I don't know what is wrong with your Android phone but on mine (Nexus One), I can install anything I want.
That is, until the carriers decide to lock you to only the Android Marketplace like the HTC Aria does right now and which Verizon et al have announced plans for.
You don't? Probably not, you probably need a $5,000 PS3 development box instead and need to pay tens of thousands for access to the SDK and documentation.

I do that on my Palm Pre too. It eats the battery alive.

Are you implying that the two iPhone app developers who spotted this are in cahoots with Apple?
So because someone made a typo, Americans are now dumb asses?
That's a great way to support Futurama!
FYI You can get the episodes right away on iTunes via the Season Pass.
Gives a new meaning to crowd sourcing.
He's not dense, he just wants to be witty and smug.
The iPhone has an app for that!
Is there an app to bite my shiny metal ass?
Wow, nice article.
For poor bastards, most definitely.

Piss poor? I take it you never used SMS prior to the iPhone?

Does every thread have to devolve into Apple bashing?
No you can not. The phone has to be hacked to be rooted and certain phones still do not have a stable root method available.
You are very misinformed.
Huh? The music purchased on iTunes is playable on any device...

Yeah, and because it's used sooooooooooo much it's never going to get replaced. Apple better stop working on LLVM, it's a waste of time. Amirite?

APIs such as?
Of course not, the EU is shaping up to become the next Socialist Utopia.
Thank goodness I left when I did.
