Why Android is better than iPhone.

The Pre is going to flop just like every other Palm product...they just dont have the app library that Android or iOS has. Also Palm is so far behind in market presence that its just not going to be viable option to Android or iOS for most consumers.

Ok, just come back when you actually can say something relevant.


By the way. Here is the entire presentation, if you don't have two hours to spare then at least watch sanjibs demonstration at around minute 40 or something (the Indian guy with the blue sweater)some really cool features, maybe after you watch the demo you can come back with a legitime argument and not just the same app and market talk that is getting old

Enjoy

Step into reality for a second. You and I both know that Palm isn't going to usurp Android or iOS in market share, if you really believe that your delusional. Palm's OS may have some nice features and may get rave reviews from some tech heads but to the general public they are nobodies. They have nothing revolutionary to bring to the table, nothing that would make the average Joe stand up and take notice over iOS or Android. iOS's lead is damn near insurmountable, the only reason Android is so close is because of the shear volume of hardware it can be applied to. Palm is just way to late to the party.

Tablet wars will be fun to watch this year.

It's been leaked that RIM's playbook will be $499, and has great specs. IMHO, Xoom at $800 is simply overpriced.

Motorola is quickly showing why that company keeps shooting itself in the foot. $800!! They must be out of their Scandinavian minds. $499 for the Playbook is a perfect price point, let's hope it doesn't get blown to the weeds by the iPad2

Growing rumours from many sources that Playbook could be capable of running Android's 160,000+ apps as well.

Pairing BlackBerry’s corporate reputation and security features with a wide selection of apps could be the missing link to a successful launch.

In the long run, this is what it will boil down to IMO. It's the reason Apple got whooped in the PC market decades ago and it's the reason WebOS won't take off, and it's the reason iPhones and Blackberries will fade away. Windows Phone 7 will be the story of 2011 for the same reason.

Have you seen the sales figures for WP7? neither has anyone else as Microsoft won't release them due to how poor they are. Even Samsung at least lied that units shipped were units sold. Microsoft can't even spin that number into a positive.
 
It's early yet, WP7 was only released in November. Word will get out. Everyone who has Windows at home, who appreciates a slick OS, who likes having choices in their phones, and who reads the reviews, will add WP7 to their comparison tables. And that's a lot of people.

The beauty of mobile tech is that nobody is tied to any one OS for any technical reason so changes can happen very, very fast.

Anyone who reads reviews would see that Android has better hardware than WP7. Consumers are creatures of habit and WP7 is a departure from the standard mobile OS layout and function. I think its a great interface but consumers like what they know. I disagree that people don't develop loyalty to a mobile OS. Seeing that WP7 is late to market in order to lure customers away from their current OS preferences it would have to have features unavailable in the current market leaders (apps especially) or be so cheap that its a no brainer. So far Android has shown that it is more than willing to compete in the low price 'buy one get one free' type market and WP7 doesn't have any significant features lacking in other devices (lacking copy/paste in the year 2011 is lame its expected now).

Maybe your right but WP7 hasn't shown anything to me in order to steal much market share from others. Only time will tell.

Verizon had massive pre-sale orders. Most customers upgraded and did it over the mail because they could unlike other launches. What was the pre-sale on a specific model of Android, BB or WP7 device?

Perhaps, but when I read quotes like this.... "Apple clearly was expecting more of a crowd this morning"

"As I mentioned earlier, the Apple staff way out-numbered actual Verizon iPhone 4 customers."

"Fifteen minutes before the phone went on sale, eight people were in line at Apple's flagship store in New York"

Ever been to the Apple store in New York City? I have and the place is a zoo.

Is this the beginning of the bubble bursting?

From your own article you posted earlier.

"Fast sellout: The iPhone went on sale online last week exclusively to existing Verizon customers, and the carrier sold out its stock in just 13 hours. Early estimates from Ticonderoga Securities suggest Apple sold between 700,000 and 1 million Verizon iPhones last week. Other estimates vary: An assistant of Piper Jaffray's Apple analyst Gene Munster said Thursday morning that last week's sales were likely only between 250,000 and 500,000."

They sold out their preorder, but the physical stores were fully stocked, there were few takers. As mentioned earlier, obviously Apple execs, and everybody else were expecting people to run to their nearest apple store/best buy/verizon dealer to pick up a phone.

These are still dismal numbers by Apples expectations.

Android is selling on average 184,000 phones PER DAY and still growing. Manufacturers shipped 67.2 million Android smartphones last year, compared to 6.8 million from the year before.

Not gonna happen, like I said way to many iOS devices already on the market and they are still the standard to what everything gets compared to. iPhone5 will come out (universal phone gsm/cdma) and Apple will surge ahead again, same thing will happen when iPad2 comes out. This is going to be the iPod scenario all over again, android will keep pace though.

Of course they won't be at the original iphone4 level, it's a year old phone due or a refresh in a few months. Why would any verizon customer buy it is beyond me...let's see how those sales look when the iPhone5 comes out.


Congrats Apple has sold 160 million iOS devices...
