This is such a load of . Android is not some stop-gap measure as you are implying. It is an alternative to, on the one hand a pretty ty OS (Windows Mobile), and on the other hand a rape you in the ass OS (iPhone OS) that locks you into what they perceive as okay.
Secondly, I will try to find it, but there are a LARGE number of NEW smartphone users as a result of the introductory price of the Android-based phones being low. |
I was going to say this but I couldn't be bothered. I would never, ever buy an iPhone. They are . Some nice features (I like the text messaging layout), but on the whole they are crap.
Currently I am using this magnificent device:
It's not even a tri-band phone. I don't particularly want to carry an overpriced, oversized, bloated mini-computer in my pocket. I don't want to receive work emails at home. I wouldn't buy a Blackberry for this reason either.
The Android, however, I might change my mind for... |

While I find netbooks to be too small for my own taste, they actually are perfect if you are just needing to push out a quick few emails and offload pics from a camera. So, they do have their good use.
You are correct though in that the OMGTHEY'RETAKINGOVER is unfounded. Wholly misinterpreted. |
Yeah, for sure. im just one of those people that sits at a computer all day, and then makes sweet love to my ninja at night, so ive never really found the need for all these other imposters.
I can think of nothing worse than being in contact with others 24/7. Yuk. |

| I am going to buy a netbook to go backpacking next year. I want something light but with good battery life (you have to compromise between the two, I know). I was thinking of the Asus Eee 1000HE. Thoughts? |

I am with you. I hate the iPhone with a passion. It is the epitome of gash. I can only say 2 things that have come that are good for the industry as a result of the iPhone. The IDs have gotten MUCH better, which has also created competition again, and it has gotten MS off their ass to seriously (or so they say, the jury is still out on that one till Windows Phone 7 comes out) revamp their mobile OS. By effect, they have gotten Google into the game to create an open platform.

A good buy, to be honest. That or the MSI Wind. The only disadvantage, it uses an HDD which eats up LOTS of battery. So, try to stick to non-volatile based stuff if you can. |

Well I'd consider it if I could have both that and windows loading at the same time, and almost an alt tab function in between. So I could be on the net before windows loads up.
But then again, what I'd really want is just a very innovative plugin for windows that lets you browse the net and gradually loads the rest of the functionality.
I mean cos honestly, is it really gonna load 10,000 display drivers in 10 seconds? How the am I gonna watch youtube with no sound and no video? |

It is a Linux back-end, so it isn't any different in that aspect than an other Linux OS. |

Dude, you're not going to get Microsoft software on Android or iPhone and Microsoft software is what drives business. Sure, Windows smart phones might be , but Microsoft have a complete monopoly over the business smart phone segment just because of application selection. This is not going to change either. iPhones obviously monopolise the hipster segment and you can be guaranteed none of such individuals would buy an Android. Thus:
1. Windows: Business
2. iPhones: Trendy wankers
3. Android: ??? Geeks...
You're confusing technical merit with actual value. Most consumers don't care about operating systems, they care about applications and aesthetics. |

No one really needs Twatter, Fagbook or any of that other rubbish either, but look at them. |
It's not a matter of "need". If you really understand what they're for, and know to use them, they're useful as hell. Social Networks are very good for passively keeping in touch with your friends (which pays of in the long run, strangely enough); as for Twitter, I really like the example of a bakery in São Paulo. The place was located in the underground of one of the city's busiest office towers, and the owner would twit whenever the buns came out of the oven. Costumers flocked in order to fetch them while they're still hot.
These tools are way more powerful than the usual attention whore makes them out to be :) |
