      [deleted post]The europe launch this year will be retarded cause there getting Zune Gen 3 this year as a start but i know for the smarter people
      get a zune just from personal problems with ipods and there often crashing,locking,deleting,crappy resolution,there millions of menus for no reason and there design that never changed since the first gen ipod just remove the 4 button and it looks completely the same

      go D/L the Zune program and see how it is how you have a Windows base OS
      cause MiSo don't give two rats about sharing with apple

        Why to they even call this an OS? It was based of Linux anyway + LG Prada interface.

                  1) SMS forwarding to multiple people (likely)
                  2) MMS (likely)
                  3) Dual SIM ability (extremely unlikely)
                  4) 4G capibility (extremely unlikely, only a couple of places have this)
                  5) Handwriting input ( 3rd party app)
                  6) ability for the os to support a slide out qwerty keybord (probably never)

                      You try to perpetuate the same stupid myths.

                      The iPhone has everything from medical and financial apps to scientific and photographical Apps.

                      Yet, you still want to show your ignorance.

                      Windows 6.5 better get the lube ready too!

                        Bottom line folks.Most people these days are all about a device that can pretty much do it all and iphone just don't fit in to that realm. It has touch screen and itunes which is good for video and music and now apps which some people use(mostly teenagers)while most don't(working adults)have time to watch or play games on such a device.Now when we are talking social blogging and the iphone falls way short to devices such as nokia,samsung,sony,and htc, for it's lack of video, camera to capture moments and immediately post to tweeter,flicker,facebook and so on.... For that reason it's a descent phone but not the phone which constantly keep getting all this hype over. Most iphone owners after having the phone for awhile is usually disappointed because of the features it lacks (me being one of them) but have spent so much on itunes keep hoping that they will do something to give us that much needed functions as other phones I mention earlier

                            I wonder if it'll have widgets?

                            There will almost definately be changes linked to the upcoming release of Snow Leopard, tighter integration of push services maybe.

                            GPS is another possibility.

                            Whatever they reveal it will continue to show the power of using OSX as an operating system.

                            I guess that's why Apple is only behind Nokia and RIM in worldwide smartphone sales.

                            Nokia smartphone sales fell by 16.6% in 2008, Apple smartphone sales grew by 111%

This is clear.

                                        Besides, as much I love the iphone, apple are hardly famous for its open ecosystem, having to run everything through itunes etc.
