Will they keep Silverlight out of it too?

Maybe Google should just tell their OEMs to stop running design departments that just copy other stuff...

Personal preference I guess. For me, getting the interface out of the way, and having it be more minimal has improved my view of OSX. It was, at times, too busy with all the different color icons and stuff before. It looked great, and well designed, but at the same time, playful, and not as clean as I'd like. The…

Do you really need a study done to tell you that the majority of users just take the thing out of the box and boot it up and jump online?

This isn't really Apple saying it knows better. Every OS maker designs their own icons and chooses their own fonts. If you want that much control over the icons and fonts in your OS, roll your own Linux distro. It's not really worth it for Apple, or MS, to spend time and money implementing that deep of a customization…

I actually enjoy the simplicity of the monochrome icons in Lion. The interface stays out of the way.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that by "American" he meant "American Government"

Atlanta should top the list, at least amongst U.S. cities. That place is driver hell.

99% of the ones you see may be higher end ones, but your experience clearly isn't indicative of reality. The majority do not go with the higher end devices, the low end, entry level devices are huge portions of the Android marketshare.

Ok, so then you are capable of understanding the situation. So, then you should, I would think, be able to stop comparing the entire Android ecosystem to just the iPhone and claiming victory. It's disingenuous, and simply incorrect. If you want to factor in the entire Android platform, then include the entire iOS…

If you only want to compare the "superphones of today", then stop posting general Android numbers and validations. Also, let's revisit this comparison the the next version of the iPhone comes out. Instead of comparing your just released superphones to a 1 year+ old iPhone.

Of course Android phones, as a whole, are outselling iPhones. They have saturated the market with cheap, defeatured phones. There are dozens of Android devices on every carrier in the U.S. alone. The vast majority of those are either free-on-contract or really cheap phones. If you look at high end smartphones though,…

Too bad no Android company is yet the "right company making the right product".

Well, first of all, 1 video is anecdotal, and the plural of anecdote isn't data. Secondly, that's not really what I said. It has nothing to do with Apple's marketing "brainwashing" people. It has everything to do with perception though. The larger point was beyond just this one case of screen rotation, and the…

Everyone doesn't say it. In fact, I only hear it from foaming at the mouth Android fans. Even die hard Apple fans don't care, because it's irrelevant, the majority of people don't even know how their multitasking implementations differ, and they don't need to. Does the app look exactly the same as it did when I left?…

webOS ran better on an iPad than on a touchpad, so, forgive me if I call bullshit. I saw webOS on a couple of devices, I was largely unimpressed, I don't get the hype (apparently I'm not alone, given webOS's sales numbers).

No, that's a result of a couple of factors, 1) horrendous management at Apple from the mid 80s through the mid 90s, Microsoft capitalizing on Apple's missteps, and entrenching themselves in the corporate and enterprise market, and allowing other manufacturers to produce their hardware, from bottom of the barrel to top…

Perception trumps speed. It's not about the exact speed of certain things for the vast majority of users. It's about how the interface feels to the user. They don't care about milliseconds in times for something to happen, they care about how they perceive it to happen. It's not about actual milliseconds for the…

I can do all of that multitasking stuff on my iPhone...The "multitasking done better" thing is also hilarious. The only people who make that argument are tech geeks who think their phone needs to run like their desktop, with apps running constantly in the background, even when they aren't doing anything. If the…

I've tried a couple of the larger screen Android devices. I have fairly large hands, and the iPhone is easily usable one handed, the others are cumbersome to use one handed. To me, a 4"+ screen is too big. I could get used to it, of course, but I don't need it. I have not done anything on my iPhone that I find it too…
