Check, chek, check, check, check. The iPhone isn’t perfect, but your reasons are as stupid as Verizon’s. Go away. You’ll continue envying the iPhone’s ecosystem for the next two years.

I really should stop posting here. Too many know-nothing children talking about stupid specs.

Google Navigation? Nope.

Multitasking? Nope.

Best screen resolution for movies? Nope.

Drag and drop content additions? Microsoft Offfice Apps? Widgets? Choice of music-playing software? Adobe Flash?

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Buh Bye, iPhone. Hello Droid!

@icebike if an emulator hits, thre users still should buy the apps from itunes, so really only the geeks will do that. Cause with pc software you go ta a website and you buy it, but with iphone os apps its either app store or itunes (legally) so, for users to ge get the .app/ipa and stuff its just going to be too mich of a hassle for it to hurt the iPhone that much

The stand alone iPhone (fresh from the box) is really not competitive anymore with Android 1.5 or 2.0.

Well that’s a pretty useless comparison since it DOES come with the app store. And are you saying that a stock iPhone is less functional than a stock Android phone? You’re full of shit.

Also, cross platform emulation is pretty heavily frowned upon by other companies as well. Remember Styletap on Windows Mobile? Palm’s lawyers went knocking VERY quickly.

With that said, I still LOVE my 3gs! though irked at it right now as the camera/photo app is not showing saved photos! (a common problem I hear).

So I wish someone would create a Fix-It app for that!!

So, anyone can still sell any app as long as they include some off-the-wall option that nobody needs. Someone makes an note app that allows you to change the text color and it’s accepted and tossed in the mix.

What a mess.

Without the app store, the iPhone’s popularity would dropping.

Its the App store. Its ALL the App store.

It is SOOOO MUCH the App store, that someone is sure to develop a wrapper for iPhone apps that lets you run them on Android. Like Boot Camp or Cross Over Mac.

(And when this happens, it will ignite a firestorm of fanboy whining, because this practice of platform emulation is only allowed when it benefits Apple, not the other way around.)

The numbers don’t matter. The fact that I can do anything with my iPhone does.

The i-phone is great (in my case) because of it input/output interface. Most of the phones arent great because of the dificulty to enter information like contacts/email/text messages. The iphone has the ability to adapt your keyboard to your preference 100%(landscape/simbols). The multi touch technology is incomparable, zoom, rotate, dual virtual sticks are a great example to the potential the iphone have in adapting your needs and make it the fastest way available in a phone to obtain. I fall in love with the first iphone since i saw the touch screen and once it got apps… WOW.

You dont want the iphone because of so many aps, you want it because of what those, many aps DO.

Of course there is othe types of people who wold just buy a pink/ small/ or funny phone just because of looks but they dont hesistate the iphone because it also have a beautifull atractive desig.

Even with all its pros, the iphone lacks of liberty of usage since it blocks away a lot of actions/programs that can show the real potential it could show( well until u hear too much about them and jailbreak)

I haven’t browsed the App Store in probably a year or more. I find out about apps on TiPb, Macworld, and other sites. Once in awhile I click the App Store icon just to check for updates.. but other than that, I don’t bother with it. I’ve bought something like ten or twelve apps total, and have some free ones.

The Apple apps remain, by far, my most used, and I hope Apple develops many more native apps while discontinuing redundant third party apps.

Apple is also all about throwing big numbers in your face. THey like that. It’s part of their marketing.

I tweeted this!

That name is known throughout as the single most distinguishable name in the tech world. When the ROKR came out…everyone was on it because it had iPod capabilities. Even though the Walkman series of phones were the obvious superior phone, everyone’s eyes were on the ROKR because it had Apple’s support and the iPod name.

That’s the same with the iPhone.

As far as the apps, that’s what 80% of iPhone users I know tout as the selling force now. That the app store has X amount of apps. Not what kind of apps…not the usability, not even the looks. Just that we have all these apps.

And now it’s at the point where…you have an iPhone, you’re “cool”. It’s what I call the Sidekick effect. When the Sidekick came out, everyone hopped on it because it was popular (and the $30 plan didn’t hurt either).
