Discussion about the future of handsets and Google Android
 android , Apple , google , iPhone , Motorola

So I get asked a lot about how the Apple support is for the iPhone?
Apple support is quite good, at least I think so; I lost my entire iTunes library (about $2k worth of songs) and they promptly allowed me to redownload everything I had lost. Although I don’t really like the “geniuses” that work at the Apple stores… They think they are uber smart, yet know nothing of how to truly use the iphone (by jailbreaking/modding/etc). My biggest GRIPE with apple is how SJ used to build homebrew PC’s and had intent to destroy corporate IBM — Yet he himself has turned to a corporate fanwhore belting iPhones with AT&T (+ don’t get me started on the iPhone SDK.)
As a business oriented individual, I don’t really consider the iPhone to be that great. The sound quality in my own personal experience is poor at best. Not to mention it hurts my ear after 5 minutes of talk time. Now a stock iPhone, without any cool games or themes (these are cell-phones, why on earth would you not let people skin the thing out of the box?) is just a lackluster effort. The maps (implemeted by Google) is the best feature of the phone. Next to mobile safari, which is great for a mobile browser, yet has no flash support (as some of you may or may not know.)
However I have switched backed to Motorola handsets as I get faster EDGE speeds, and I am mainly using maps with my phone on T-MO. The operating system that every smart-phone that actual smart-people will end up using is Android. The Linux operating system is truly open, and I believe Android has captured the true essence of how Internet phones should be implemented. See “HTC Dream”
Android will be succesful with mobile operating systems, as Microsoft became succesful with personal computers. Regardless of price (Android is free, and Microsoft cheats.) they are able to run on multiple hardware platforms. There is no sense in saying the iPhone is the best phone ever made, because it simply is just a phone that is really cool. It does not neccesarily fit the needs of every consumer in the USA alone. Not only that but it is down right expensive, and does not appeal to most demographics.
Sidenote to my insiders:
And I wouldn’t rock a macbook because it is simply overpriced. Now I know (Stathis) some of you drive Ferraris and such, wearing $900 sunglasses and whatnot… lol but I am seriously sick of people w/ macbooks inside starbucks when I am getting coffee I have to look at them. I would rather like to flick a ciggarette into their pomade laden hair.
Now back to eating corndogs, and being the most pessimistic person alive.
