                  To all you Samsung kids:

                  One source has it that Samsung sold close to $8 billion in components to Apple in 2011.

                  Where will they get that kind of revenue without Apple?

                  Samsung needs Apple's business as much as Apple needs Samsung.

                    Lol it's amazing how Android fanboys can just say out loud their secret wish, and then be fooled by their own statements it's hilarious.

                      I installed the Launcher 7 before for my HOX+
                      So I've seen that Win phone 7 is very laggy.
                      Also tired out the Windows Phone 8 launcher as well.
                      I find it just as laggy.

                      Best thing about android is we can have windows 8 or
                      even Apple on our phone if we wanted.

                        Regarding to Apple's ubiquitous techniques of lying people they seem to use an old technique probably used by the FALLEN ANGELS as well that I see is getting more and more used by other companies as well like Facebook for example.
                        I'll try to explain the technique they are using as follows:
                        They practically have less power to achieve what they want in life so they just try and spread a lie across as many people as they can in the hope that as many will start believe in that lie the lie will start to manifest and became a physical reality.
                        But that's just wrong since they use the deceived ones faith and power to create a better reality for themselves, in this case they try to became more and more rich in order to conquer the world.
                        But their plan had just been unraveled and soon is game over for them.

                            This is a Win-Win situation and very good news for Samsung fans as Apple product quality wil be suck for some time, and other nation people will have the opportunity to secure more jobs outside US, if Samsung shift their Texas plant production outside of US.

                            At the same it's a Loose-Loose and a bad news both for Apple fans and US, especially those live in Texas and work Samsung Texas wafer plant as they maybe out of job soon.
                            I feel for them but could be feeling happy also some people outside US get more jobs.

                              Anonymous, 01 Dec 2012emmmm they did that, and ip5 sold 24 million units.....Who counted and reported those numbers a bunch of liars ?
                              If so how accurate those numbers do you think they are ?
                              I'm not expecting to receive a viable answer if the person I'm asking is a liar on himself.

                                The bashing is pretty intense here huh?? There are plenty of SoC manufacturers that Apple could tie-up with, Qualcomm, Ti or maybe Intel. If the two giants falls to the ground, its the sammy who always shatter(i'm refering to the droptest) :)
