On topic: I believe Samsung is right about this one, the S-AMOLED is incredible!]]>Jun 9th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/
"Apple had a demo area for the media after the keynote, so I got to spend some time hands-on with the iPhone 4. The resolution of the “retina display” is as impressive as Apple boasts. Text renders like high quality print. One thing that Apple didn’t mention in the keynote, though, is that the LCD pixels are much closer to the surface of the touchscreen. On existing iPhones (and iPods, and iPads), there is not a lot of distance between the glass surface and the LCD, but there is some. There’s also a very narrow amount of air between the touchscreen glass and the underlying LCD. If you’ve ever got a bit dust under your display, that dust is in the air between the glass and LCD."

"It’s mentioned briefly in Apple’s promotional video about the design of the iPhone 4, but they’re using a new production process that effectively fuses the LCD and touchscreen — there is no longer any air between the two. One result of this is that the iPhone 4 should be impervious to this dust-under-the-glass issue. More importantly, though, is that it looks better. The effect is that the pixels appear to be painted on the surface of the phone; instead of looking at pixels under glass, it’s like looking at pixels on glass. Combined with the incredibly high pixel density, the overall effect is like “live print”."

"It also improves the field of view for the display — you can view the display from an oblique angle and it looks great. Again, like print. It’s like a glossy magazine come to life."

Flash 2007, Apple: hey Sammy, can you and Intrinsity develop a chip based on the Cortex CPU using your excellent SoC designing and manufacturing knowhow?

Forward 2009, Apple: sorry Sammy, we're going to by Intrinsity and make our own chips, oh using their IP that they developed with you.

Today 2010, Sammy your Super AMOLED sucks, IPS LEDs FTW. We use them on every iDevice. Even if yours is 30% more efficient, we're 30% cheaper!

Sounds like fightin' words from Apple.

Word of Advice for Apple: don't be like Toyota. Hyundai is whipping their arses now. You're playing with a sleeping giant (Samsung).]]>Jun 9th 2010 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/
Here's Gruber's latest on the iPhone's front facing camera. - "But the ability to use the front-facing camera to actually make video calls is first on the iPhone."

By that, he means, video calls, over wi-fi to other iPhone users on wi-fi. Wow, the practical possibilities are endless! How can you take this guy seriously?

John Gruber put an emphasis on the ability to USE the camera to make video calls, a emphasis that was left out of your quote there. And I would put John Gruber's credibility over any commentators on this site. He was one of the only people in the media to explicitly state before the iPad was even released, that he thought it would sell eight million units this year. Looks like he was right.

He's made several other predictions in the past that were dead on. Heck, even Steve Jobs has quoted him.

The cold truth here is this: Many, many companies have come out with what they considered "superior" MP3 player hardware during the iPod years and the last time I checked, the iPod is still the leading MP3 player.

Regular people don't buy gadgets based on specs. They buy based on software and ecosystem. Apple has iTunes, the App Store, iBooks and retail stores to sell their wares. Google has almost none of that.]]>Jun 9th 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/Jun 9th 2010 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/why is that samsungs new UI looks like an iphone.

You have got to be kidding. John Gruber has zero credibility outside of Apple faithful. If Jobs delivered a steaming pile of feces, Gruber would spin it as a glorious innovation of pure olfactory brilliance. The quote about video conferencing was a brilliant example of Grubertardation.

The fact that you left a fawning quote from Apple Fanboy #1 speaks volumes.]]>Jun 9th 2010 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/Jun 9th 2010 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/Jun 9th 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/People are bad at knowing what they want and often, in turn, want what others have or what others deem good.

Only the tech savvy buy gadgets based on hardware or software. The average consumer buys what they are told is good, by their friends, their TV, or their best buy salesman.

Ok so sa Samsung Galaxy S screen is better than iPhone 4. But does that make the Samsung phone better, I am afraid not. iPhone is in league ahead of samsung in user experience. iPhone 4 will blow the the Galaxy S in usability, coupled with very good manufacturer support I will take the iPhone 4 any day. ]]>Jun 9th 2010 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/samsung-iphone-4s-retina-display-is-nice-but-its-no-amoled/
