@AlienSix i would respect him more if he would just once acknowledge how vital the jailbreak community was/is to the evolution of the iPhone, but i dont think someone like Jobs would ever credit people for "misusing" his device. 4.0 was a veritable checklist for jailbreak utilities people use everyday
@xolan99 Htc already has more than 1 phone with front facing cameras. The windows mobile 6.1 phone, htc kaiser (att Tilt), had a camera for video confrencing, but the att/us version had it taken out. Most of the good things in cellphones are taken out in the us.
@skyblaze The evo was announced first but you can't be serious to think that the next gen iPhone and potential video chat weren't in the works until the evo was announced. Apple is a little more prepared then to throw something together last minute. Android Froyo looks amazing, but still not a finished product in my opinion.
@MegaJapan It's the most polished of the current mobile OS's. I have a 3GS, an N1 running Froyo, and a Pre Plus (plus various work Blackberrys, but who cares about RIM anymore??) and the iPhone OS is the most consumer friendly and intuitive OS. Android is fun for a techie like myself, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that isn't extremely familiar with technology. WebOS is easier to use than Android, but it is still buggy, has few applications, and sucks battery life down like no one's business.
@ebgolfin yeah looking back on it now we see it sucked but at that time it was "revolutionary and magical" remember that companies rise and fall and that apple crashed in the 90's they arent untouchable, no one is
Well, we had it in the very beginning probably up through the late 90's. It always sucked, but the chatrooms were fun because there were lots of people in them :)
Not sure what point you're really trying to make other than stating the obvious.
If Apple falls, I really couldn't care less. You know what that would mean? That some other company produced stuff that me, my friends, my family, and millions upon millions of other people like better. I'm all for better stuff. Aren't you?
@ebgolfin yeah thats why i traded my 3gs for an HD2, i upgraded to something better, i think i just misread your comment and realize now that my response was off topic... im pretty tired ive been up rendering for a long time
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Remember Jobs... before you go on a tangent about how revolutionary this is...
...The Evo had it first
@skyblaze
You how Jobs is
"We werent the first to the party, but were gonna be the best."

@skyblaze I'm pretty sure both companies (HTC and Apple) had this in the hopper for a while...
The EVO just happens to have a release date a few days (or weeks) before the iPhone v4.0.
@skyblaze
Apple Hater it will be the best on the iPhone

@TheLondonExchange
Was wondering when you were going to comment? What is your evidence that it will be the best on the iPhone? Because its Apple?
@XChrisX
And iPhone OS is a finished product?

@dorothymantooth "...and the iPhone OS is the most consumer friendly and intuitive"
Oh, you mean like the position AOL held in online services many years ago.
@Kelly S
Dude, AOL sucked.
@ebgolfin "Dude, AOL sucked."
Not 20 years ago. They were rad, dude.

@AlienSix
I don't have evidence and I'll freely admit that.
I DO have faith in Apple though. They honestly haven't let me down before...why should they start now?
Again unlike you android fanboys I can freely admit the truth.
Theres no videos about iChat on the iPhone but I'm 95% sure that it will be executed in a manner that
1) Easy
2) Fun
3) Intuitive
4) Smooth
@TheLondonExchange
ooh multiple choice. I pick c!
