Re: my homescreen
not saying that "the next one will show you". my phone ALREADY kicks serious ***. and it's going to get even better with the os update to ics. . .kinda like how ios5 improved the iphones. . .
not changing the terms of the argument, you just assumed that i meant future proof as five years. i was clarifying because you made an incorrect assumption.
is there no such thing as 'future proofing' of cellphones? possibly. 2.5 years is about five iterations of phones, or 1.5 (painful) to 2.5 cycles for apple. there's a reason apple is always playing catchup with hardware. but with the features i currently have on my phone, i feel very solid knowing that i will have a very functional phone 2.5 years from now--maxed network capacity, a big, bright screen with superb battery life, nfc, microsd expandability, and on and on. not sure anyone holding a iphone4s can say the same thing.
does the nexus prime blow the doors off my phone? yep. by definition then, my phone is already obsolete. 2.5 years is the standard time until the next hup. . .that's the period of time that most users worry about.
yes, obviously apple has an advantage as they are the ones that spec out their hardware and write the os to go with it. it had damn well better be a good user experience when you have complete control like that. is it any wonder that android os does struggle with producing the same user experience given the multitude of handsets out there? no surprise to anyone.
that being said, my phone does 10x what i ever thought would be possible on a cellphone, and it does it flawlessly and fluidly. having used an iphone4 with ios5, it is not noticably snappier or in fact give me a better user experience. for me. for my wife, it does. kudos to apple for putting a phenomenally powerful and useful device in her hands that she actually enjoys using and doesn't overwhelm her. i am truly happy that something like the iphone exists, because it is the friendly, shaggy eared puppy of cellphones.
rejoice.
