First of all, can anyone take you seriously with that name? Are you a god damn 13 year old?

I will agree with you that Android will dominate a good portion of the cellphone market, easily replacing windows mobile as the main 3rd party OS for smartphone manufacturers.

However, everything else you said after that point in your post is just complete and utter nonsense, and reveals your incredible lack of reasoning capacity, and pure fanboy nature.

"The iPhone is shortly gonna be dead in the water."
--- Considering the iPhone is only available on AT&T, priced at a minimum of $399 with no subsidy on a 2yr contract, and all available cell plans start at $60 and average $90-100, it is actually selling incredibly well. In fact, the 3G iPhone is probably the most anticipated cellphone in the history of mobile technology. It will finally be officially available all across the world with modern UMTS/HSDPA technology, and probably also be subsidized by the carrier to a price similar to other smartphoneI
If that's the case, I guarantee it will sell tens of millions of units in the next year or two worldwide, and that is exactly what Apple wants -- the top few percent of the market, just like their computers. The mobile OSX operating system will also become THE platform of choice for mobile software developers, and will see incredible new and innovative software applications, and will push the boundaries of existing technology,

"should imagine that this is really the end of Apple itself. With this market drying up, with the relentless onset of Windows itself, with Linux versions becoming more friendly...."

HAHAHH! The end of Apple itself? And what market are you talking about? The home computer market? Every sequential business quarter, Apple sees it's greatest profit and revenue in company history. Mac unit sales are up 50% year over year, at a time when overall PC growth is under 10%. Apple is literally shipping more macs each month then they can even keep up with. There total market share has almost doubled to 7-8%, and when you only take into account consumer PCs over $1,000, they have 50% of the ENTIRE MARKET. They are doing so well, that they are now sitting on cash reserves of over $20 BILLION. They are selling millions more computers than they ever have in history, they own the entire mp3 player and music market, and now they have the most advanced and coveted phone on the market, and you say "its the end of apple" ???? Do you know how incredibly asinine you sound?

"If you are holding Apple stock, sell it now."
This is the best one yet. Apple stock is up over 100% from just 12 month s ago to over $180 a share, and every sequential quarter they are setting new sales and profit records, yet everyone should sell their stock???
Are you a complete moron?


Oh and btw, NO, I don't even own a Mac computer, nor an iPhone.

I think perhaps those who have marked you down dislike people spouting off and being inflammatory with no purpose behind it besides wanting to get a rise out of others.

1) This is a mockup, a terrible one too.
2) This is NOT how the OS looks. This was how the SDK looked, 7 months ago.
3) Android OS -not some "gPhone"- is the only thing that is real.

By the way, 2009 is good. This is the era of Nvidia processors, mobile HD, WM7, S60 Touch UI with native flash support.... lots of good things coming next year. Releasing ANY last-gen phone in Q4 2008 would just be poor marketing.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/krakow-says-gphone-is-delayed-to-2009-wait-what/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/krakow-says-gphone-is-delayed-to-2009-wait-what/

It's obvious that Android wasn't ready for prime time. Just surface glitz and dazzle and no underlying substance. A six month pushback is a major disaster in the handset world.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/krakow-says-gphone-is-delayed-to-2009-wait-what/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/krakow-says-gphone-is-delayed-to-2009-wait-what/
