So...Apple copied Palm eh? By releasing new software about THE SAME TIME Palm will be releasing their Pre?
Apparently some of you don't understand software development cycles. Most of these features were already in the works for iPhone 3.0 BEFORE the Palm had its public Pre-view.
You want to see how real copycatting works? Watch Microsoft. They'll ape most of this stuff a year from now.
Suck it, haters. Today is a sad day for Apple bashing trolls. But you'll always have the soft keyboard and sealed battery to whine and moan about.
Ah, Mark Anderson has arrived. Like clockwork. Now where's Saad Rabia?
So tell me Mark, if the S60 and WinMo are such fantastically functional (and innovative) devices, why do you feel compelled to snark about the iPhone every chance you get? And why are consumers paying them little heed?
Oh and whilst we're on the subject of Quix's stupid pronouncements...
"So tell me Mark, if the S60 and WinMo are such fantastically functional (and innovative) devices... ...why are consumers paying them little heed?"
Well, Quix, I don't know if you keep up on the news but WinMo outsold the iPhone last year and had a sales increase of 16% compared to the iPhone's decrease of 14% last quarter. As for S60 you might want to look at Symbian's sales figures before you come out with anything quite as ridiculous again.
So Mark, if S60 and WinMo are such incredible successes, it's perplexing that you show up time and time again to bash the iPhone, which obviously is such a pathetic, inferior device that it deserves to be ignored.
Surely you have better things to do with your time than foul Engadget with your constant anti-Apple whimpering, like, say, play with your fabulous mobile gadget that's light years ahead of anything Apple can dream up?
Methinks you're just bitter that the world is moving on without you. Yeah, we get it old timer - horses are better than cars because they don't need roads or gas stations. So giddyup, cowboy. Hey, Melinda Gates may not like Windows Mobile, but at least you do!

The more the Apple haters whine, the better the company is doing. And judging from the troll-filled Engadget comments in recent months, Apple must be doing very well indeed. Try not to grind your molars to dust...
See you on the next Apple-related post, Mark. Since you can't seem to resist trolling each and every one. Next time, bring Saad Rabia along. We'll have a party.
Thanks for the insults and ad hominems, Quix, but let's face it - you made a fool out of yourself twice in quick succession and everybody is laughing at you.
But, for the record, I don't hate Apple products - the Macbook is awesome as is the iPod Touch and there isn't a better NAS solution than Time Capsule but I don't like Apple's approach and I don't like the way the press give them endless get out of jail free cards for shit products like the new Shuffle or releasing bog standard features for the iPhone two years after its launch and if the blogs ain't going to put the boot in then I most certainly am.
Now shut up before your credibility goes even further south.
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
S60 and WinMo already have these features and have for years.
hilarious to watch all you apple tarts making sad excuses for today's crap announcements. the angrier you get the more obvious your disappointment is.
Quix needs a hug.
First the shuffle flop, now iPhone 3.Uh-oh.

Your jealousy just makes you ugly.
Troll Different.
Oh shut up, Quix. Once again you typed something stupid and made a fool of yourself. Deal with it.

Quix, you're hyperventilating.
