wrong guys apple did not invent smartphones or phones for that, they did not invent capacitive tochscreens or touchscreens or the first os.The only thing that Apple introduced and invented was the ipod weel and the multipoint display ability. Reality check they indeed step up the game with there first phone Iphone. Wich even by today`s standards FCC does not give the first Iphone the title of smartphone. Haveing a bunch of apps on your phone does not make it a smartphone. By definition smartphones have the capacity to carry on your office like capabilityes. I am an android user, true but i`m not a fan boy.I am an architect by trade and my job requires me to have office like mobility and the simple laptop cannot do it most of the time. Honnestly my first phone like ever was a crappy nokia with a flashlight, then bummed up tu an old Htc running windows mobile 5 i think then for a year i own an Iphone 3g, and other then sucking up power and playing a bit of games on it the phone sucked. Not worth its money if we are disscusing smartphones. The old HTC had autocad on it not to mention office, graphics programs, connectivity uses to an projector port so i wont have to carry my laptop around. Older then Iphone yet more of a smartphone. I chose android because its not much difference between them bouth UNIX based platforms, yet i can customize it as i see fit. If you wanna get in line with the sheeps and have exactlly the same phone as everyone with the exception of you wallpaper and folder layout
P.S. still waiting for ios 7 and iphone 7 hopeing because its a very good build quality phone
Ipad is not a real tablet computer. Its just a bigger Iphone, Owning an Ipad 2 and the only real use of it is to play games on it or chack email. And honestlly unless youre a D.J. mixing live with it i dont see its use. Overpriced apps for ipad!!!!!
The real smartphone war will be won by the platfome who can manage to port more of the computer/desktop aplications to there phone or tablet and to make myself especially clear Windows Platfome: Windows phone 7 and Windows 8 are the ones that are closer to the true definition of a smart phone then Iphone WebOS or Android.
Its simple not everyone playes on there phone (i dont) i dont see the reason to bump it up to dual-core if you have no real aplication other then that of gaming - what`s that telling you about your "smartphone", its more of a psp if you ask me
Ive been useing and serching for smartphones for a bit more then 7 years i`ve tried all platforms and i like android because they dont price me a bit over 1000 euros for a phone that can do exactlly the same thing as a 300 euro i paid for mine
