    Windows Phone 8 will dominate. It finally has better hardware. It has security chip built in with Secure Boot and BitLocker. Windows Phone 8 has DirectX. Expect some amazing games for Windows Phone 8.
    DirectX is why Windows games so often look better than Mac games.

      Yani, 04 Jul 2012Apple's strategy from the start was never to be on top! Th... moreI disagree with your comment. Apple is all to do with making a better return on shareholders’ equity. It has absolutely nothing to do with being elitist as such. That why all these droid geeks are business failures. Samsung has to sell 3 times as many mobiles as Apple just to make the same profit. Before the SII came out Samsung was running at a loss with their telkom business and are still vulnerable to any decline in market share. I dont have Apple or Android because of their security issues but you can be non elitist and sell your soul to Google for nothing. You dont understand? Built in Google spyware with Android!

        Windows Phone 7.5 has good games too. Xbox Live games makes it the best with achievements for your Gamertag. Windows Phone 8 will be the best for games because of DirectX support and like I said Xbox Live.

Still i am a RC i... moredont blame android due to your lazyness, yes2 im using i9100. and i still find a micro lag on it, im running AOSP rom, and i dont find anything childish about it, whitch one is more childish , jalibreak, and istall app from cydia or helping cyanogenmod writing code from the ground up to optimize the speed of your own OS? wich one is more brainless? if you dont want to modfy just use stock rom and stop complaining like a cry baby. and DONT say anything about cyanogenmod if you dont know anything about them, the are a bunch of great people that knows more tha just installing apps from cydia.

                    you basically requesting a kids phone , tht are limited to kids knowledge, just install and istall.got my point ? dont hust blame the floor if you cant dance. just get the IOS if you want to, android wont getting better if people like you still in this ecosystem anyway.

                      "iOS can do everything what android can do and more"

                      If that is the case , android giving u quad core and 1 gb ram which is even better for multitasking and it clearly gives u edge over hardware specs when u break barriers made by companies (jail breaking or rooting) , just jailbreak and see how iPhone 4s works vs galaxy s2 running stock with double RAM 512 MB Vs 1 GB . Just look at screen sizes too.

                      Apple makes good products and I agree but it's not like iOS and android are equal and can do everything , it's about optimisations , now try running dead trigger with quad core galaxy ? It can't run with all those effects , sorry and even s2 can't run , only tegra 3 and 4S had those effects even though one x and 4s coming with average LCD screens vs amazing superAMOLEDs and even $200 nexus tab can run it , see how optimisations work ? It's not about freedom or jail breaking but it's all about content being offered which makes iOS still on top by content they offer like GarageBand or iPhoto , etc. and so many nice games, that's same reason why iPad still number one.

                          Soon Android will lose even more once Windows start their tablet offensive. Wonder if this will also shift some Android users to Windows smartphones.

                            I didn't say hardest, i said most complicated. Why? Well there are plenty of reasons. In iOS just do the jailbreak and then Cydia, you're done. In Droid? Jesus, all those geeks (i hate that term more than Osama) gather in a place and trying to create an 'ultimate' ROM, which is basically full of bugs and all nonsense, those deodexed garbage, and AOSP toy like CM, and the flurry of kernels, and all those childish mods and etc etc. Ultimately they are pure crap and too over hyped to make a brainless schoolboy and flash junkie, another term which iimmensely hate.
                            What we need actually? A phone which should have all the features and some additional mods to have the freedom as well. iOS does anything and everything Android does and some extra, without the hassle of knowing some adb push methods or some tricky and complicated ways which are beyond to a general peoples understanding.
                            I completely omitting the idiotic Force Close, Reboot, the infamous LAG and poor optimisation nonsense of Droid.

                            Got my point? If you don't, and which is more likely the please continue using Droid, because in near future it won't even exist.

                            Good luck.

                                    Android since single core 1.2Ghz and GB, never lag, and those dual core is pretty smooth especially in ICS. Now quadcore just add extra juice. Future soon JB 4.1 will make any capable device butter smooth.

                                    Windows Phone never lag, agree... but not means you don't own, or don't like Android, simply said Android lag.

                                        first... I believe Apple's market strategy is not shoving it's customers with the same phone in many forms (although they could do better then 1 high-end, 1 mid-range, and 1 low-end but still) and OS updates that you can't download 4 months...

                                        second... what crying ifans... there are no crying ifans in this thread... all the ifans are happy because IOS gained 1.7% while Android got 0.8%... 0.9% difference and over double... ya sure android still has about a 20% lead over Apple but I bet Apple doesn't even want 2 beat out Android.

                                        the thing is ifans can be arrogant, annoying, and idiotic but fandroids are the same way, all you fanboys are, and people just have be tolerant with you guys... also Apple is doing just fine and has been and will be around for along time.
