    i agree, you reap what you sow...

    instead of focusing on coming out with phones that will dominate competition more than ever before, all time and energy wasted on making enemies... and coming out with stuff like the iPad Mini...

            Animus, 03 Nov 2012android phone only using over highly spec... Just look othe... moreThere are such a vast amount of Android phones and some of them are low-end "budget" phones for people who don't want to spend hundreds. Also, Android is moving forward so quickly there is a constant need for new handsets with new hardware. You can't honestly say Apple's iOS gets the same development as Android. It definitely has a lot of thought put into it, but iOS is only impressive to those who don'tknow anything about Android. People who work in mobile phone tech support like me know that Apple handsets are expensive, unreliable, have a cop-out 1-year warranty (with a very expensive option to purchase a second year), and are generally a pain in the backside.

              I wish there was a like button here like facebook. I actually LOVED the news. The court should ban iPhone as they have copied the name from iFone. iPhone is nothing but copy, copy and copy from other phones. And also they are crap. Tell me, iPhans, with your iPhone, can you transfer files to another device (iPhone to others, not iPhone to iPhone)? Can you create and edit documents without a payment, right out of the box? Nokia used to be good with Symbian and MeeGo (Ooooh, the one and only touch-phone experience with N9), but they became total crap with WinMo. A phone is now not just a phone, but your replacement for desktop, laptop, notebook, netbook etc. So in that matter, an Android Phablet would be the best choice, finding everything you might need to replace them. I was a hater of Android, but like it or not, at present Android is giving you the best among the phone OSes. Whether you like it or not, Apple should be banned.

                No doubt that Apple have geniuses in their firm but in the real world there are none! If they're keeping on this way...they're sure to lost a lot more their way.

                              What goes around, comes around. Reap what you sowed, Apple, and realise that you have made a lot of enemies.

                                  ...and that's what happens when companies get too greedy. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
