@ddhboy: Apple is fighting the ad war just like they fought the OS war, and they will lose for the exact same reason.
It's not just the phone, it's the hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars people have invested in apps and iTunes downloads. Steve could be a little more gracious.
@Mark 2000: If the first one were true, it would be a hardware problem, yes. If I tried to run iOS on a 486, it would be pretty laggy, too.
@Mark 2000: Okay, that just proves my point. None of those things are even remotely true, and the first one would be a hardware problem, anyway.
@FriedPeeps: They completely ripped off my motto.
@Mark 2000: It tells me you've probably never held an Android phone in your life.

There have been so many dumbfounding decisions coming out of the smartphone sector lately that I'm wondering if actual humans work at any of these companies.
@Arken: I'd say none of the people buying those units knew of this issue when they made their purchase, and Apple does not, in fact, "get it."
@FriarNurgle: The iPhone gets outdated just as quickly, the difference is that you have to wait a whole year to catch up. Yeah, the market is driving innovation very rapidly on mobile devices. That is nothing new, and if it bothers you you better have pockets deep enough to keep upgrading. As for me, I bought my…
@The Lab: If you think that was trolling, you must be new to the Internet. Welcome.
@x219c: You can make that Snapdragon run like a Hummingbird, how's that for a point?
@jonBgood: Overclocking, mostly. At 1.0 Ghz I can run live wallpapers, an anti-virus program, news and weather, and a Facebook widget, all while playing a game with no slowdowns and silky smooth transitions. It completely erased my Snapdragon envy.
Rooting my Droid was the best thing I ever did with it. It's like getting a brand new phone. To anyone who is on the fence about this, I really urge you to consider it.
@Brian Lam: Oh, okay. I guess from the tone of your coverage I figured you guys were hopping mad about it, which you justifiably could be. I still think that a lot of dedicated iPhone users don't realize there are some really great alternatives, though. I have friends who didn't even know what Android was when I…
What I'd really like to see is the Gizmodo editors return their iPhones to make the point. There are a lot of good alternatives out there, although you might have to drop AT&T to find them. I think a lot of people out there that have owned one or two previous generations of the iPhone might not realize that the rest…
F Apple.
