EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish people would stop using the "____ Killer" name. The majority of the time the "killer" gets killed off in about a month. Remember Microsoft's iPod "killer?"

yes we have heard about the new iPhone killer everytime a new htc hits the marked but I don't see the iPhone dead yet and there will never be an iPad killer just other options. The only one that can kill iPhone or iPad is Steve

Doesn't that depend on what you want from it...?
Not all of us enjoy playing, comparably rubbish games and surfing the internet.
Whats wrong with a mobile phone for that?!
I said I think Ipad is useless when it came out.
I stand by that now.
And I highly doubt I will ever find a use for it, other than looking like a compete douche.

You want an Ipad, then thats cool. You get one! I dont give a crap what you do with your money!

thats why jobs wont have a melt down
for one not to many people will do it
look at hackintoshes there will be more people using them than unofficially running android on the iphone and apple hasnt stopped them (except for trying with psystar but thats because they are trying to profit off it)
apple's software has alway been to sell hardware(osx sell macs, itunes sells ipods and now digital merchandise like music)
all this will mean is a few thousand more people to sell stuff to
and some people will buy the hardware that they wouldnt have otherwise

I've owned both and stopped using the iphone after a month, got bored of the limitations...even when jailbroken.
IMO if you're looking at the new iPhone then it may be worth seeing what WP7 turns out to be like or even if you can get on with one of the KIN devices but personally I stuck with WinMo because of its 'geeky' features which are seriously lacking on the iPhone and possibly in WP7 too.
to be frank its up to you
I've used iphone and winmo and android and blackberry (I'm a phone whore what can I say)
but I personally found the iphone to be very restricting for a few reasons at the time
1. it was a devil to just forward an sms
2. silent rocker broke, led to a lot of frustration. with windows mobile even if my volume was broken, I could easily tap on top of my screen and maximize my volume
3. Gaming is good on the iphone and zenonia was my favorite game on the iphone. Windows got it and it became my de facto game
I mean its your call. I never enjoyed the iphone save from zenonia, facebook, and the keyboard. But for all its worth, it works. Just, customizing is crap, if you need to get work done, look elsewhere.
Well. I'd personally wait 'till it's out and see what all the competition is and whats coming shortly. I bought an iPhone 3gs on impulse back when I had my xperia working nicely and after a few months of use I switched right back to my xperia and sold it. With all the rumors floating around the iphone HD or whatever name they go for, it looks like a solid device, but wp7 could turn into something great, and androids development seems to be the most active now.
You should buy the new iphone just to throw at Steve Jobs's face and leave the mark of the apple logo on his forehead..
thank you for your honest replies. i guess i'll just wait to be released i may probably just get the nexus or evo when it comes out

Android fan boy reviews pathetic aplpe line up

heres my blog guys
i write stuff from time to time and if its tech related ill share it with u guys,
let me know what u think
jut a bio, im an android fan boy and u can find me in the x10 forums
http://moose.frazer.co.nz/
I see that you absolutly LOVE the new lineup.
Always good to read positive reviews.
Steve Jobs.
It's funny...If Apple didn't make these products, you'd have a pretty boring blog.
Stop hatin. Just enjoy your phone, and let that be enough to you. I don't like Apple, because they have screwed me personally. But all this "I hate Apple because I have an Android phone" fanboy-ism is just so damn annoying.
That's just my 2¢
I have to say the iPod Nano in my opinion is a step backward, Multi-touch on a screen that size with my thumbs isn't gunna work so well
It so funny how Steve Jobs stated that people loved buttons on previous iPod shuffle, so Apple brought them back. Few minutes later he announced iPod nano without buttons but with small, nearly unusable touch screen. Plus they also remove camera and somewhat good display.
Apple finally did it. They made iWatch with iPod functionally
lol iWatch..
I have yet to see some people walking around with their headphones plugged into their watches...
and nice blog
I actually also blogged on this the other day. Link here.
I'm no Apple fan either, but it seems I'm no match for your hatred of Apple...
Btw, I'm actually quite impressed with the new Nano. For those who use Nike+, it's perfect.
If you're phone is better, and you know it, shouldn't that be enough?
Just food for thought...

LG actually made one of these things. A phone watch which allows you to listen to music. Whether you like it or not is up to personal taste. But it's definitely super geeky...

btw @ op blog i lol'd
Yeah, but if you're doing it JUST to fit in, or for the sole reason that you have the competitor's phone, it gets old FAST.
I take it as trying to show off, "Hey, look at my blog, I hate Apple too!"
It's the internet, so do what you want. I just don't see why there needs to be a thread about it.
Isn't a review suppose be of things you actually have tried your self to even be considered a review? so this is actually just you opinion on pictures and press release. but you are entitled to your opinion just don't call it review before you tried it.
I personally will not get any of those new devices.

Anyone consider jumping ship?

Anyone ever consider jumping ship to apple to end the crack flashing. I don't know if this is a problem only I deal with but every time I have an android phone, especially with the nexus, I feel compelled to flash sometimes multiple times a day. Think I have a problem

Blasphemy!!! I verbally and physically attack all friends who use and think iPhone's are superior to Android (good Android).

Had Nexus devices/HTCs/etc. Sold it to get an iPhone 6 (to stop my addiction). One month later, I've just sold the iPhone and about to buy a Nexus 6
Don't get me wrong, Apple do some stuff brilliantly (Touch ID is awesome!) but I just use Google's services too much
