                brenda, 15 Jul 2009Lying? Why do you say that? Ok then, tell us how apps have ... moreso were is the proof that apple has 1.5 billion downloads

                a counter is easy to but on a website counting upto 1 billion

                i know cause i use to make websites and that's java code


                and as well
                look at myspace you can steal people's coding from their page and use it so
                obviously this is some hyped out marketing gimmick

                cause no other company has gloated about people downloading apps

                look at microsoft and the xbla they have alot of games and they are developer made
                free and paid for games

                and they never did what apple is doing and look how much xbox's they sold even though half of them blew up or burnt a house down

                same with apple

                iphone=cheap price in the start
                but after time your spend alot on one thing

                xbox=cheap in price but expensive to maintain

                nokia n97=expensive but everything is there so you don't have to worry much

                ps3= expensive but
                blueray,lots of updates,open system and expandible memory to save money

                                  I have now had an iphone 3GS for 1 week after using nokias for 5 years (N82 was the last one).

                                  First the not so good: No multiple apps open, no FM radio, no web flash, home screen with only apps is not real helpful, should have widgets like N97 & other minor issues.

                                  The good: Web browser is amazing, the app store is awesome (was looking at an N97 but ovi sblows big time), screen sensitivity is the best.

                                  Most companies are in a MP and hardware race but dont give a rats about the software, apps etc.... thats where apple wins. SIMPLE AS THAT. As an ex nokia fan i would encourage people to try the iphone before passing comment not just basing their thoughts on the specs.

                                    The app-store is the reason why iPhones are so successful. Unlike other manufacturers, Apple has created a successful solution to ensure that users are able to continually update their devices rather than buying new ones.

                                      Must admit that iPhone is really a huge success.
                                      What's cool about them is they emphasize on practical usability, in terms of UI, web browser, and application, but not so much on feature (lack of camera, etc).
                                      Samsung, Nokia, LG are slowly recognize this need and improve their devices to be more practical too, together with advanced feature.
                                      On the other hand, iPhone also improve their feature (camera, some other feature).
                                      at the end of the day, we are really pampered by these phone manufacturers, so let's just enjoy it ....
