The statistics smell like 1983 all over again... when Apple Macintosh was, slowly at first, eclipsed by the IBM-Compatibles. Most of you were not born at the time but Steve Jobs surely was there to witness it.
After all those years he still didn't learn much to prevent Apple from the same mistakes. A good company at innovation but way... waaaay too arrogant and money hungry. Hype can get you to trick many people but not for long.

I didn't deny that. I said that a Jailbreak and a root unlock different features. A Jailbreak is still limited by iOS' architecture. A rooted android is WAY more customisable. Besides, Apple are trying to find ways of shutting down Jailbroken iPhones all the time.

Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) spins out of Acorn and Apple Computer's collaboration efforts with a charter to create a new microprocessor standard. VLSI Technology becomes an investor and the first licensee"

Oh dear, you don't know about the history of ARM a company that came about as the result of a joint venture involving Apple.
Where would all your smartphones be now if it wasn't for Apple and the Newton, 20 years ago.

Acorn /= ARM
"ARM Holdings (LSE: ARM, NASDAQ: ARMH) is a British technology company headquartered in Cambridge, England, UK. The company is best known for its processors, although it also designs, licenses and sells software development tools under the RealView and KEIL brands, systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip infrastructure and software. It is probably the best-known of the Silicon Fen companies. The company was founded as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology (as Advanced RISC Machines), intended to further the development of the Acorn RISC Machine's RISC chip, which was originally used in the Acorn Archimedes and is now the processing core for many custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
The company is considered to be market dominant in the field of mobile phone chips.[3]"

Wow, apple's core system for their iphone will soon fail them at last. The problem with the iOS is its lack of full multitasking abilities. I don't know about android which is symbian's competitor, well i believe the analysts, symbian will remain number ONE. The only limitation to customizing a symbian phone is the cetificate, but with a 17 capabilities developers certificate, you are good to go. Symbian just need to work continously on their GUI, with that, no OS can stand them. What do you guys think?

Android's, once open, are as complicated as linux to program.
Plus, there are many ways to get customization systems WITHOUT jailbreaking (i mean like replacing HTC sense, that sorta thing).

Same goes for Apple, they redesign the chip to fit into their phone but they did not manufacture the chip. Apple was never a manufacturer. There are only 3 major manufacturer in this world that manufacture these chip, Samsung, Toshiba and Hynix. They invented new micro chips.
