I've already said it there, so i really dont want to over post, but the content of that really fits here better.

"Maybe because it lacks support for Flash? A plug-in necessary for this and other internet content to be viewed on your super-phone. Therefore you do not have "the whole internet in your hands" like all mighty Steve said when he launched the device. Or maybe because Apple just lost 1% of its market share and Android grew 4%.

Screw it. Steve Jobs got the idea for the iPhone (a large screen touchscreen phone) from my posting in slashdot.

Thats Steve for you..

He wanted Google to agree to no poaching within the company. Then his tall tales about flash. I am not surprised. Some people just dont know the real Steve.

Apple took the idea of a large screen touchscreen phone from my slashdot posting back in October-ish 2005. They took the idea of multi touch from Jeff Han ..even the 2001 movie minority report .. and others .. some of whom were working on multi touch since the 1980s (check out wikipedia). That's why Apple has no patents on core multi touch concepts. They have a patents on "bounce on scroll" and "slide to activate phone".

They took the idea of putting accelerometers in phones from myOrigo http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=547

They took the idea of full HTML browsers with the ability to zoom into parts for clarity from Nokia: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone

http://maddox.xmission.com/e70_web8.gif

They took the idea of GPS in phones from loads of other vendors. They took the idea of a camera phone from others as well.

And the new iPhone, it stole the idea of a front facing camera which was present in many phones.

The iPad too has stolen design ideas, for example they stole the bookshelf view in iPad from an Android ebook reader maker.

While other companies had to invent most of the core principles in phones .. Apple was able to bypass having to invest in all that by stealing their inventions.]]>Jul 9th 2010 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/

I expect figures like Larry, Brin to stay out of statements like this. When it comes to Eric, Steve... I'm used to them being typical CEOs but I had really hoped the geniuses behind google won't indulge in cheap speak. They are in totally different league - young genius billionaires. ]]>Jul 9th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/So why hasn't anyone taken the initiative of copying a company like Apple with 41 billion dollars CASH MONEY in the bank.

yeah they are young and are learning to play the game. They will learn and im pretty sure they will over through Steve. I guess he thought he would point that out.

I still think that Apple was trying to use Google when they were buddy buddy and Google saw their success take off and started doing their own thing. Thats when Steve turned on them. Steve even called them liars and Google produced proof that Steve wanted to practice bad business.

At the end they all make their own bed. but im really pulling for Google on this one.]]>Jul 9th 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/"They took the idea of full HTML browsers with the ability to zoom into parts for clarity from Nokia"

Iphone was no where near launched when google bought Android.
So they didnt copy Apple, they had the plan also.

And LG showed the KE850 (Prada) in september 2006, thats before we saw the iphone.
Samsung managed to have an working prototype of a touchscreen phones, in febuary, so if they stole from someone, they stole from LG.

But as the History goes for Apple fans, and the way Steve Jobs make it sound, iPhone was the first and the original fingerfriendly touchphone. All other stole from them.
Google just proved they had the plans as well, long before they knew of iPhone.]]>Jul 9th 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/]]>Jul 10th 2010 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/What about this, not smartphones but proto-cellphones:

Apple cash pile is 23 billion and not 41 billion, as long term investments can't be considered cash.

And debt is good for a solid company it gives a tax shield.


So why hasn't anyone taken the initiative of copying a company like Apple with 41 billion dollars CASH MONEY in the bank. And no debt.

Instead of badmouthing your competitor and having bad facts, try making your product better, good even, I see you have made one step in the right direction though by requiring hardware on 3.0 like 1 ghz and above, now for the software

Ps there is a tiny slight chance that I would possibly consider using android instead of ios if you make your software good, and to do that, you would need to be psychic and know what apple is about to unveil and one up that, which will never happen, so yah, apple will always one up you, so I will never use android in the forseeable future (maybe if Steve jobs retires and apple starts doing things differently which would be a sad day when apple isn't apple anymore)]]>Jul 10th 2010 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/Jul 9th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/googles-larry-page-steve-jobs-is-rewriting-history-by-saying/
