pretator will pwn an alien any day.
You mean PRE- dator
Nice.
Ah, yes. Pre-dator vs iAlien. A classic in the making.
Here's hoping that they have a sit down, realize they are both infringing on each other and decide to agree not to file a lawsuit against one another. We can only hope.
gah typo.
also, "Go ahead and skip the Flintstones, there's your irony for the day."
lol.
In fairness, I seem to recall the Predator snuffed it at the end of AvP to the Alien Queen and that it took some silly woman to whup her, plus it's corpse ended up with a Alien in it so that was a double embarrassment. Mind you, it's probably not as bad as remembering a pretty forgettable movie...
They both need to just shake hands and play ball.
Technically aren't they both aliens?
Yeah, but one's a CYBORG alien.
On a completely unrelated note, how likely is it that it'll be possible to install Android on the Pre without too much fuss? That would be perfect.

Apple Innovates - Other Companies Rip It off - The Techno Race keeps getting better - Now Apple will Have to do something Ells incredible for as all again - the real question in the game of Technology and invention IS- who will you give your money too - the ripp off or the original haha -one of the reasons why i will never buy Microsoft products ahahahha -- - I am wondering If the Palm can take a drop - My iPhone has been dropped so many time - i cant believe it still works - I dropped my Treo back in the day once about 3 feet and the screen Cracked piece a junk
@Shugg:
Did you even READ the article?
So now we know why the Aliens have no weapons. Because the Predators patented all of them!
@dramanoose:
You're implying that Shugg can READ. So no.
Love the PRE-dator vs iAlien idea, but the tagline needs to be changed:
Whoever loses... the lawyers win.
Does that then make the Nokia N97 Superman?
I agree with Katie on this. I think both companies should leave this the fuck alone and let technological advancement run its process. If it turns out that both phones really are aping each other in many ways, then they're just going to sling shit and settlement fees at each other until they're both left with chunks of money gone. Besides, if every company has to come up with contrasting ideas, it makes smartphones as a general platform less accessible, for there isn't a universal set of ideas to grasp when using any device. Hopefully this won't deteriorate into one of those "what could have been" stories, where the Pre has to be watered down until it's not nearly as awesome as it's looking, simply for the sake of legal fisticuffs.
