Yeah, but now you don't need HDMI

My winmo phone had notifications like Android's 6 years ago.

A lot of these features, in many ways, came from somewhere other than Android. Why is Android suddenly getting credit for things it borrowed elsewhere but when Apple does it, it's lynching time?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or sincere with that last bit, but it is intuitive, which is very important for the 95% of the population that isn't tech geeks.

They are making their platform more approachable, and have less of a learning curve. The majority of users will never need access to the User Library, and they have still made it easy enough to access that those who do need it, and should be technically savvy enough to follow simple instructions, can find it easily. I…

What is with the recent mentality that every single thing any company releases has to be groundbreaking and completely new or risk being labelled a disappointment?

iPhone 3 -> iPhone 3Gs -> iPhone 4 -> iPhone 4S

I like the device agnostic setup for a lot of the features; I just hope they don't go too far and make their platform difficult to use in a professional environment.

Not quite the same (but still not great). Android is still far more inherently insecure. Also, the iPhone is still the tits.

I prefer the scrolling tabs (and tab groups) of FF. I'm not a big fan of Chrome for more than just casual web surfing. It's great for my mom and other people who just surf a few pages at a time, but I can't stand it in mos of my usage needs.

Do you ever have more than two or three tabs open? That layout would be absolutely unusable in my daily usage.

Memory usage is a far more important metric to me nowadays. I typically surf with several tabs open, and the speed differences are, nowadays, amounting to milliseconds. Chrome is great for casual surfing, but I'll be sticking with FF for it's (far) better extensions and better memory management.

A full palmrest trackpad would be a bad idea. It's a palmrest, having it be a full touch sensitive surface would be absurdly annoying, not to mention the annoyance of a trackpad that is so much wider than high. I don't see it being very useful that way.

Shut up. Apple changed the music business, drastically. Denying that is absurd and completely out of touch with reality.

OEMs do pay licensing fees to include google apps such as gmail and maps. The only thing they don't license is the core Android OS, any google apps on top of that are licensed. On top of those license fees, they pay MS a license fee as well. But, yes, there is a lot more that goes into Apple's products than just…

Where do you get your numbers? The Galaxy Nexus, off contract = $650, Droid Razr = $650, etc.

I'm just saying that the OSes themselves (or, possibly for desktop machines, the video cards/drivers) don't currently have any setup to manage changing the UI elements to double resolution while maintaining the resolution of other elements. The iOS UI implementation is specifically designed to account for double…

Well, it takes both guys like Jobs, and those that worked for him. Your attempt to diminish his impact because he "wasn't the technical genius" only serves to better illustrate his importance. Those "geniuses" didn't do it on their own. They did the work, but they needed someone else to give them the ideas. It's a…

It just said "Four Surprises from the Steve Jobs FBI File" Not "Four surprises about Steve Jobs from his FBI File"

How does Apple stand to profit more off the despicable than the respectable?
