That wasn't even mildly funny. In fact, it was annoying. I was waiting for the punchline, and when you finally delivered it, the only thing that actually made me laugh is that you missed the space between "to" and "sit"
I thought this comment from John Gruber of Daring Fireball was prescient:
"But one thing is certain: Samsung isn’t comfortable putting their fate in Windows Mobile’s hands."
And I think he's right. I don't think Bada is about dropping Symbian (which isn't very popular in the US) but about having a viable replacement for the joke that is Windows Mobile.
I don't think yet another mobile OS is such a bad thing really. In the long run, 99% of mobiles will end up with one of three OSs. Right now the competition will drive innovation as it did in the early days of computing when every hardware vendor had their own OS.
For example, I'm not exactly interested in the Pre but I am interested in some of its features. Those features will eventually find their way in the a mobile OS I do use, and so by virtue of Pre's existence I still win.
This pricing doesn't seem like much of a bargain with what's already offered. The already have the "Unlimited loyalty plan" for $50 a month unlimited voice. "Unlimited" data and text is another $35. That's what I pay, $85 a month for unlimited everything on my G1.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
