@stevenjcarney: Popular != trendy.

When I had an iPhone 3GS, I was about 50 / 50 Hacker / Overuser.

@stevenjcarney: Nope, Android isn't trendy - just functional.

@Lazarus511: Oh, I'll give him plenty of credit for his marketing skills and even for promoting a product that no one thinks will sell / turn out well and sticking to it.

@RoboticSpacePenguin: And, pre-MS, most still weren't using one AFTER that too. =) And I know that laptops, or at least ones affordable enough for a normal person to be able to afford, even as a luxury, didn't exist until the mid-to-late-80's at best, more like early 90's.

@ImSpartacus: There's a pretty decent difference - not HUGE, but with a phone already as big as an Evo, a 15%20% increase is pretty noticeable.

Sweet - now where do we actually FIND said hookers on FB?

@BadJoJo: Haha, totally. Gotta remember over a 10 year time span, it's WAY cheaper to buy a Ferrari and some hookers than to have a girlfriend / wife!

@RoboticSpacePenguin: Most people didn't use a computer or laptop before Apple ones existed?

@RoboticSpacePenguin: Most people didn't use a computer or laptop before Apple ones existed?

@Lazarus511: Yes - thank you! Steve has never come up with anything original, merely taken someone else's work and marketed the hell out of it.

@ImSpartacus: Look at the physical size of the X versus the Evo. They have the same size screen, but the X is a much bulkier phone.

@DingoJunior: *Ahem*

@Yeah!: The "rest of the world" had "smartphones" that are like a kids toy compared to the smart phones today.

I hate to break it to you Kat, but the "big hands only" isn't big if you're a guy. Yes, for a girl it may be big, but for a guy it's a normal size.

@DingoJunior: *facepalm*

@Jesse Tobiason: So, according to you, a smartphone OS with very few apps will come out and everyone will ditch iOS and Android with their hundreds of thousands of apps to go to that? Riiiiiiiiiight. It's the same reason why it's pretty much a given that nothing (for a very, very long time) is going to knock out…

@Yeah!: Sorry, but it was never Symbian in the US. Before there really weren't any smartphones in the US other than Blackberry and Windows Mobile - then alternatives came out that were better and gained not only enough support, but enough APPLICATIONS to run on them to keep them dominant - that's the biggest issue…

Right now the mobile OS market is a three horse race - iOS, Android, and Blackberry. Blackberry is rapidly falling, Android is rapidly gaining, and iOS posts small gains each quarter. If you're not Google or Apple, you're pretty much not going to succeed in the smartphone OS market these days. Consumers have spoken…
