Now does Apple have a patent on Icons? cause the only thing similar to it is basically that... Engadget you guys need to get out some more, perhaps hangout at other stores other the the Apple Store. ]]>Apr 16th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/
I am starting to think I look iPhone-like myself. My cheeks are touch-screen.

No but they sure as hell did make it popular. Nintendo did not invent motion controls, heck not even the first motion controlled video game, yet the popularity of motion controls is attributed to them. ]]>Apr 16th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/
It made them popular to iTards, that's about it. Apple does not deserve any credit what so ever for the touchscreen interface. So many other devices and technologies take advantage of touch screens it's utterly ridiculous to even make that statement.

Nintendo is a totally different story, the majority of people didn't even know about gaming motion controls before the Wii. If anything the Nintendo DS made touch screens more noticed in portable devices long before there was an iPhone, so don't even try it.]]>Apr 16th 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/

"It made them popular to iTards, that's about it. Apple does not deserve any credit what so ever for the touchscreen interface."

Is that why every cellphone manufacturer on the planet is racing to create the next "iPhone" killer?

Face it, Apple has changed the cell phone market in a good way. We're finally seeing cell phones worth a damn (other than $400-$500 smartphones).]]>Apr 16th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/Apr 16th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/
But the Apple sheep treat the thing like there was no cell phone before it.

But hey, in a year or two the iPhone hype will die down when more better devices come out. I think it of the way every FPS was called a "doom clone" back in the 90's. That faded away, and every touchscreen device being compared to the iPhone will fade away too.]]>Apr 16th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/-----------------------------------------------------

Wrong, cell phone makers are running to make crap products because dumb shits like yourself run out and buy apple' s garbage no matter how craptacular it is. Think of it this way: I roll up a ball of shit and sell it to one person. You think this person is cool so you go out and buy a ball of shit, to be just like him. Pretty soon everyone's buying balls of shit because that's what everyone else is doing. My friend Jake over here, he sells balls of gold. Balls of gold are worth a lot more than ball of shit, but everyone's buying balls of shit because that's what's 'in' what choice does Joe have but to cover his ball of gold in layers of shit in order to get some sales?

This is exactly what happens with apple products because of sites like Engadget. No matter how crappy Apple's product is Engadget will turn a blind eye and say it's nice. (Remember how ugly and fat the Fat Nano was before everyone realized that it was a real apple product. Remember when Apple showed it at their little press conference, suddenly "it's not that ugly in person." Dumb people like yourself start buying these 'nice' products and pretty soon the other manufacturer has to follow suit in order to trick some dumb people into buying their look-alike product. And it's not very hard to do either, cuz as i said, you're dumb person.]]>Apr 16th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/Apr 17th 2009 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/Apr 16th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/Apr 16th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/
"Market", "Store", or "Shop" would have made it much more acceptable IMO.

Or maybe it's that people who want to read about the new Hub, or any other touchscreen gadget for that matter is sick of seeing them compared to the iPhone. The only thing truly iPhone like about this is having a dedicated AppMart.

Seriously, this is more like a Chumby than an iPhone, but I guess that's not gonna get the same Pavlovian response, from both sides of the aisle. :)]]>Apr 16th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/Apr 16th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizons-iphone-like-hub-2-hands-on/
