I love how Iphone users claim WP has a shit marketplace.

You know WP has the fastest growing marketplace of all 3 based on timeline.

And WP metro apps designed from ground up for Metro are so much better than the IOS apps. Metro is a better OS, and has much cleaner and better apps if done right. Thankfully Windows 8 and WP8 have same architecture. So the marketplace will grow even quicker thanks to the ease of duplicate apps for Windows 8 and WP8.

I really hope WIndows 8, Surface drive a nail into the steal everyones tech company called Apple.

At least we have the decency to not say those same things tto you.

 

Enjoy your android that costs the same exact price as my iPhone.

And if you look at the specs of the iPhone compared to the high-end Android devices, you'll see that you're paying the same amount for a (vastly) inferior product. 


Please post some comparisons.

Sure thing. Here are 2 of the top Android devices vs the 4S.

  iPhone 4S Galaxy S3 (International) One X (North American)
CPU Dual Core Cortex A9 0.8 GHz Quad Core Cortex A9 1.4 GHz Dual Core Krait (close to A15) 1.5 GHz
RAM 0.5 GB 1 GB 1 GB
Screen 3.5" IPS TFT, 960x640, Gorilla Glass 4.8" Super AMOLED, 1280x720, Gorilla Glass 2 4.7" IPS LCD2, 1280x720, Gorilla Glass 2
Battery Internal 1432 mAh Removeable 2100 mAh Internal 1800 mAh

I didn't compare the cameras, because the three have similar rear camera hardware. The two Android devices have more software camera features though. Front facing cameras on the two Android devices are also superior to the one in 4S. Moreover, the two Android devices are thinner and lighter than the iPhone.

Apple are too big and too powerful, they overcharge for crappy products that people buy for how "hip" they are.


reminds me of the wii :P.

It's not like google is much less powerful or (evil) with it's android OS... And it's not like the above picture doesn't look like it's copied from apple either.

I have a gaming PC, an ancient phone and use linux for some things, it's not like I like apple much. But google's just as bad.

Except the Wii had great games while Apple has great nothing. :p

It is an obvious copy, but frankly, Apple deserve to be ripped off, it's not like they ever come up with anything original.

They make good stable OS's, unlike microsoft until windows 7 XD.

nintendo deserves to be losing hundreds of millions of dollars... oh, nvm.

XP was awesome.

And Nintendo is making bank on every single thing they sell. Try harder.

The stability was not compared to linux, or the equivalent mac OS at the time... Windows XP was good for compared to Microsoft 95, 98, 2000, and especially vista. But, Windows 7 was the first one that is actually equivalently stable to the other OS's at the time, not having obsurd amount of registry ineffeciencies, or memory leaks. Despite having many more people creating virus's for it.

Nintendo posted its first annual loss ever.  Despite having the wildly succesful wii, they never had this happen in the gamecube and before, they've made some bad decisions. However they were an extremely well run company like apple (whether you like the products doesn't matter). And apple will eventually run into something like this in the future as all companies do.

Only difference is, Nintendo doesn't sue those that copy them blatantly.


I agree, otherwise sony would have been sued for the sony move :P.

Android and WP are all about choice. You can get a high end device for the same price as your iPhone or a cheaper device if you're not a power user. With apple, you have just the choice of internal storage. And if you look at the specs of the iPhone compared to the high-end Android devices, you'll see that you're paying the same amount for a (vastly) inferior product. Why are you so happy to admit that you want apple to have a monopoly? That's not good for anyone, including yourself. What incentive does a monopoly have to innovate? None whatsoever.


Want a powerful iPhone? Get a 4s. Galaxy S3 for same cost.

Want a cheaper iPhone, get a 4. Get an S2 for same price.

Want an iPhone for free? Get a 3GS. Get a crap android for free.

 

Wp7 has shit for an app store. Android is closing in on Apple, but Apple still either gets everything first or it gets exclusives.

 

Iphone specs suck, but everything looks better. Specs are not be all end all. Android are resource hogs, always having shit running behind the scenes. Ever seen Horn? Nice for shit specs.

 

 

It also doesn't hurt anything for me. I had 2x Galaxy S and had tons of issues, ranging from charger port malfunction, crap battery life, phone running shit after a month or two, not getting updates on time. The list is vast and I haven't even gotten into HTC issues.

I currently own a Galacy S3 as well as my 4S.

Games on my crap spec iPhone look better and run better than on the S3.

 

I am sure I know what I am talking about considering I have the two best devices on the market.

It's sad that you want to defend that you get choices and that's all you can muster. I mean, really? It's like this:

Want a high end console? Get PS4.

Want an older console? Get a PS3.

Want an even older console? Get a PS2.

The fact is all three of those devices are pretty much identical. You must be a huge apple fanboy if having that kind of a choice satisfies you. And just for your information, you might want to put the correct comparable Android device beside each of the iPhone iterations. It's more correct to say that S2 is in the same hardware range as the 4S, but at the price of 4; Galaxy S is at the same hardware range as the iPhone 4, but at the price of 3GS (if it were still sold that is). There is no Android equivalent of the vastly outdated 3GS.

WP marketplace may be tiny compared to Google's and Apple's, but there's still craploads of stuff to keep anybody occupied.

iPhone specs suck but everything looks better? That's just BS. I'm guessing you've never touched a Jellybean or even an Ice Cream Sandwich device in your life. You should really give the alternatives a try before talking so much shit. And no, I have no idea what Horn is.

I haven't ever owned a Galaxy S myself, but I know people who have. I've never heard complaints of battery life or of the phone running shit after a month or two. I'll concede that getting official updates on androids is a sketchy business, but most of the people I know have custom roms on their phones anyway.

I can personally vouch for HTC. I've owned 2 HTC phones, and have had a single problem with my old Nexus One: the power button failing, and that after more than 2 years of heavy use. The only other complaint I may have is with Sense, but, again, putting a custom rom on an android is almost easier than updating iOS on an iPhone.

Games on your crap spec iPhone run and look better than on an S3? I mean, seriously? For one thing, have fun looking at that 3.5" screen. But maybe you've been doing too much of that and your eyesight is permanently harmed. I seriously doubt you have an S3. I'm sorry if you actually do, but it seems unbelievable that a person who claims that the 4S is at the same level as something like the S3 would ever get anything but an Apple device.

You can make the same agrument about consoles vs PC can't you? do you play consoles?

He wasn't saying he wants apple to have a monopoly. I don't really see how everyone is like ZOMG's apple has a monopoly, when android has a higher market share than the IOS. (albeit on many different phones).

I have a samsung flip phone, because I don't want all this crap in my pants. but what game do you have on android that looks better than Infinity Blade II on Retina Screen?

WTF are you people talking about?

Do some research and look at the phones which were sued and patents that Apple sued them with. Looking at the phones in question, Samsung "willingly" copied the Iphone and its features.

People that know me know that I don't like Apple but I hate seeing lack of common sense.

Pretty much all of these anti-apple chuckleheads are no more than ignorant mindless robots who lack the ability to think for themselves; common sense is not exactly something valued among these people. This is exactly why they manage to mix up innovation and stealing/copying.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I do play consoles. Which argument would that be?

Read ClassicGamingWizz's original message and Euphoria's response to that. It sounds like Euphoria accepted what was said by CGW, despite the message not being directed towards him/her specifically. And one of the things in that message was, "they want to give [apple] the monopoly."

LOL. Nobody says apple has a monopoly. But they really want a monopoly from the way they're acting: they want to eliminate all of their competition through lawsuits.

Kinda like all them Apple chuckleheads who think stealing a bunch of other peoples ideas and putting them into one package = innovation and then sides with Apple when the same is done to them?

LOL. Well said.

When I buy a phone I don't care where something might be or how it might be growing. I care what it can do for me and what it's store offers me on the day I buy it, and right now WP7 is lacking.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)
