[QUOTE=kidwithsword;22448174]But this is technology that has been around for years and they are just putting into the iPhone now. They need to learn how to keep up with technology. [editline]6:66pm[/editline] And they are trying to convince us that this is new, revolutionary technology that they are pioneering. It most certainly is not.[/QUOTE] The thing is, hey have no competitors.
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;22503928]This is why I want to stop. You're just going to blatantly come up with shit about the AppStore just to make yourself feel better, all I can do is bang my head against the wall because you're not getting it. Just stop arguing.[/QUOTE] blatantly come up with shit? [img_thumb]http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/977/apps.jpg[/img_thumb] how many of these would you download? these are "new and noteworthy" i'd maybe get two or three of them, yes, but most of them absolutely not

[QUOTE=whatnow V2;22504006]hey makol, it's a fucking forum I never saw the use in a smartphone, i just use my cell for calling. No texting or any of that shit. Just calling. These "apps" look interesting and somewhat useful, but not enough for me to drop 300 bucks. A lot of the apps are a waste of time, just browsing through them. Should I get a smart phone, I'd only have a few "apps" that I would use regularly, not multiple pages of useless shit[/QUOTE] I just don't see the reason for getting all worked up over a phone...
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;22504012]Putting the argument aside because it's clear now that you're just saving face, I'll just answer your question. According to my purchase history, I downloaded 280 apps so far this year. The point isn't how many more you'll have on your device, but the fact that there will be more availability. There will also usually be like 3 apps that exist for the same purpose. It's up to you to pick the best out of the three in that case, or the one that suits you best anyway.[/QUOTE] hold on i asked two questions. and no i'm not saving face, i'm arguing, you're not. if anyone were actually saving face, it'd be you. instead of actually responding to things normally you just say "nuh uh" basically
are you kidding me? who the fuck plays games on a phone? [editline]05:54AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Makol;22504041]I just don't see the reason for getting all worked up over a phone...[/QUOTE] why not
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;22504037]Most of those apps are actually pretty neat.[/QUOTE] you are aware of what "most" means, right? then again android is "too complex" for you so maybe these would keep you entertained more than they would entertain me.

If you think this argument will end in anything positive, you need a reality check. I'm just going to stop before the banhammer comes out. You like Android, fine, I'm not forcing anything down your throat. I voiced my opinion and that seemed to warrant the shitstorm you started here.
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;22504049]are you kidding me? who the fuck plays games on a phone? [editline]05:54AM[/editline] why not[/QUOTE] it's silly.
[QUOTE=Makol;22504041]I just don't see the reason for getting all worked up over a phone...[/QUOTE] it's a discussion this is a discussion board
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;22504049]are you kidding me? who the fuck plays games on a phone? [editline]05:54AM[/editline] why not[/QUOTE] Why not play games on a phone, anyway? Good touch screen = good potential as far as entertainment goes. And it seems to sell like hotcakes so they're doing something right.

"you need a reality check"? i'm not the one acting with hostility for no apparent reason i'm not trying to force android down your throat, i'm trying to force everyone else into realizing you're just a fanboy, and all this has done, to anyone that actually cares, is prove that you are a fanboy. see i'm trying to just have a conversation and you're the one dealing with combustion.
[QUOTE=M_B;22504061]it's a discussion this is a discussion board[/QUOTE] I realize that but, this more of argument between two people when it could've been done it own thread or PMs and not completely derail a thread.
All this new hardware and still no SD card slot. What the fuck Apple, what the fuck.
and it wasn't really an opinion you voiced, "i don't like android" is an opinion, "android is so slow compared to iOS just really choppy" is more like opinionated criticism [editline]11:00PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Makol;22504095]I realize that but, this more of argument between two people when it could've been done it own thread or PMs and not completely derail a thread.[/QUOTE] anyone can jump on in anytime they like though, that's the good part about threads [editline]11:01PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ColinSSX;22504099]All this new hardware and still no SD card slot.

[QUOTE=M_B;22504102]you'd have to be stupid to expect a card slot at this point in time[/QUOTE] It'd be better than nothing

I like the iPhone OS (or iOS as they call it now), I have yet to use an Android OS equipped phone but I really want to see what the competition is like.
i like iPhones myself, i hope none of this has given anyone the idea that i don't. i just don't think it's better than android, and i don't think android is better than it either, the two are totally different, just like how you've never really been able to compare iOS to WinMo or WinMo to Symbian, they're completely different. honestly the only reason i don't think i'm going to get an iPhone 4 is because at&t's plan is shit. you can't get unlimited data, the highest you can get is a measly 2GB/month plan. what the hell is that? that's not the iPhone 4's fault, but it's why i'm not going to get one, not until they change that, anyway. i'll get the iPod touch version of the iPhone 4. i know, i can just jailbreak an iPhone 4 but i don't want to have to worry about shit and scrambling to get the latest fix everytime an update goes out. also unfortunately the iphone 4 is sort of unjailbreakable or something, right? not sure if that's true at all, haven't looked it up, coworker (who has an iPhone and wants and iPhone 4 too) told me that. it's not even out yet though so who's to know for sure?
They'll find a way to jailbreak it. They jailbroke the iPad, after all.
[QUOTE=PieClock;22447942]It's amazing how much hate is going towards this for the features they've put in, and about their marketing strategies. It's like you complain for them putting in the features you've been asking them to put in. [b]This is a major fucking improvement over the last iPhones, not that they were even bad.[/b][/QUOTE] you tell funny joek
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;22457769]The OS is the biggest thing about it, and as far as I can see, nothing tops iOS4. Not even close. Who gives a shit about the technical details when it's very well optimized?[/QUOTE] os4? you are joking. All the features in os 4 have been used in android, Symbian and windows mobile. Don't give me that shit telling me it's new.
-snip- I'm not going to bother. It becomes obvious that there's a fine line between who tried iOS 4 and who is talking out of their ass.
[QUOTE=wingless;22505500]os4? you are joking. All the features in os 4 have been used in android, Symbian and windows mobile. Don't give me that shit telling me it's new.[/QUOTE] It's incredible optimization allows for great looking games to be played without the need of giant specs to drain battery usage. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDXvMmErxFw[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU2CoMN-4eg[/media] Plus the variety of apps, I understand that quality > quantity, but in cases like these, the more quantity, the more likely quality to be found. And as for people complaining about clunkiness on the androids. It's because the touch screen is not as accurate. Maybe not all that noticeable, but after iPhone users are used a screen so precise and then go to something that's just 10% less accurate, it'll feel odd and just not right. [img]http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2586/diytouchscreenanalysis3.jpg[/img] for comparisons of different touch screen accuracies on different phones. And to everyone saying that it's just a phone, well not everyone wants to carry around a phone, an iPod for music, and have to wait to go home to check my email, or even browse Facepunch, or carry a PSP to game on the go when I'm bored on a bus, or feel like carrying a camera with them everywhere, smartphones are the shit.
[QUOTE=PieClock;22448598]Where before have you seen that many pixels on that size a screen? Where before have you seen a gyroscope in a phone? Where before have you seen features on a phone be put to so many uses from an app store? Have you seen many phones around with 2 cameras? Where before have you seen a phone with [B]all this[/B] put together? Well then, shut the fuck up, it may have some features other phones do, but it's still unique as fuck.[/QUOTE] Are you serious?

I do see where you are coming from, though. It could save some time, and help you be a bit more productive. But that stuff I can do on any old smartphone.. why an iphone? But that's just me.

Plus not to mention the other capabilities as well, music on the go, pandora radio, video recording at high def (not everyone always has their hi def camera to record special moments that appear out of nowhere), and lots of other useful things that come in handy on the go.
to me, that's a waste of my time. I didn't think of the other side when I posted that.
