19 October, 2010
Oh, boy, is this a good time to be an Apple shareholder or what! The company has just published its financial report for the quarter ending in September and things just couldn't be better. The company...

I like iPhone, and many others do the same so just respect all of them. Nobody has rights to blame the others for their choises, you may not have money for apple products and you may think that is wrong to buy any i-product, that is your idea if you are happy with non-apple products that is good for you.

Almost every site have flash and Adobe Flash 10.1 works perfectly on my Galaxy S. IPhone is still more about looks and fashion, and users have to jailbrake it if they want to use as many functios that is on other companies phones. Galaxy S is plastic. but that is not a bad thing because that makes the phone very lightweight, and the buildquality is great and the acreen is scratchresistant Gorilla glass. I have recently realized that Galaxy S with official jp6 do not really need any lagfix, quadrant-score is not the same as normal use, and I have to really "poweruse" bwfore I see any lag. IPhone4 doea not multitask that is why it does not lag. IPhone4 is a good phone, but it is also the most expensive phone and that is why so many don't like it, because fact still ia that most, if not all, other top flagship models from HTC ,Samsung, SonyEricsson and even Nokia actually can do more even if it not always look as good but for only half the cost for the user. Not having a normal size SIM-card is a problem for IPhone4, but I guess the reason is to force users to stay with IPones only when they want to upgrade to a new phone.

      And as for the music thing: My Sharp GX30 could play music, so what?

      The iphone is an ipod touch, that, with some nice BOSE headphones, matches anything that Sony can put out, or Creative.

                            1. The first iPhone was not a 3G phone: What do you need 3G for? You can easily use the iPhone without using a 3G network and anyway, 3G is not particularly widespread, so this is not a problem.
                            2. The phone cannot send MMS: There is no need to send MMSs, hardly anybody sends MMSs.
                            3. You cannot forward a SMS: This is a function that hardly anybody uses and was therefore not included in the first iPhones.
                            4. The phone has a poor camera: The built-in camera is perfectly adequate and the iPhone takes fantastic photos with its camera.
                            5. It is not a real Smartphone, it cannot multitask: The phone has all the necessary functions and the OS is technically superior compared to other Smartphone OSs currently on the mobile market.
                            6. The iPhone cannot multitask, resulting in a great number of applications being unusable: The absence of multitasking is a deliberate design decision resulting in a faster UI.
                            7. You can not change battery on the iPhone: How many customers run around with spare batteries? None or very few.
                            8. Apple decides which applications you can install on the phone: This is good, because Apple thereby ensures that you do not get inferior programs on your phone.
                            9. The app store is a closed universe: Apple knows what is best for end users, which is good for the many iPhone users.
                            10. The phone does not support Flash: Flash is slow and not properly integrated with mobile phones, there are hardly any web pages that still use flash today.
                            11. The app store contains numerous small trivial commercial programs: The app store’s large selection gives users the freedom of choice and the many small programs help make the end users daily lives more fun.
                            12. It is difficult to use the touchscreen for fast SMS messaging: The touchscreen makes the phone easier to use and you quickly get used to it.
                            13. The iPhone is a low technology phone packaged in a sleek design: Apple has taken the combination of the design and UI to the next level, therefore the technological specifications don't really matter.
                            14. The quality of the phone is poor, calls are often interrupted and network coverage is poor: It is a good phone, these problems are due to the operators’ networks and not the phone.
                            15. You can only purchase the iPhone from operators chosen by Apple: Apple has spent a great deal of time and energy selecting the best operators for customers.
                            16. The iPhone is targeted at a niche segment and will not be able to develop further: Apple has succeeded in designing a phone for people that appreciate design and user friendliness.
                            17. The iPhone does not support memory cards: iPhones already offer the necessary memory people require and end users can choose between two models, one with a little memory and one with a great deal of memory.
                            18. You can not install your own browser: The browser Apple has designed is so superior that you do not need any other browser on your phone.
                            19. You cannot use the iPhone as a modem for your portable PC: People that have an iPhone do not need their portable when on the move.
                            20. There is no radio in the phone: You do not need a radio in your iPhone because the iPhone supports iTunes that offers almost unlimited music.

                                      You can't compare the N8 to the iphone as it's a totally different beast.

                                      I only hope that the OS gets updated regular, and that that Nokia don't release another version after a few months (see the N95 8gb and N97 mini)
