Android or iphone

jikhead · 06-21-2010, 09:53 AM

So I posted my message 3 days ago and I come back in here and I see I stirred up the hornets nest a little with you Apple and/or iPhone guys. Not to bring it all back up, but I feel I should reply to some of the posts after mine.

First, someone mentioned about their stock and how well it's doing. I never stated anything regarding the present. I stated that at some point, that it would change. It may not be tomorrow or next year, but merely at some point it would.

Regarding the change of data plans, with 4G and LTE around the corner...the "no more unlimited data plans" is going to be standardized across the board. This is to be expected, so it shouldn't be big news whether ATT or Verizon is doing it. This has nothing to do with my original comment, just wanted share my thoughts on that post.

Regarding iTunes, one of the biggest reasons I chose not to use it is because of the bitrates used. This is discussed over in another thread somewhere on MP3's or something, so I rehash those comments.

Lastly, someone mentioned about putting crappy Chinese made video cards and it !@#$ING up the device or something along those lines, as an example. Do remember that the iPhone is currently made by Foxconn in China, and this is the plant where people have been committing suicide like crazy so that we can all enjoy our lovely devices! Now to stray off-topic a bit, but this why I can't stand it when people complain about phone prices, or whether they have to pay full-price because they are still under contract. Our phones are no longer phones anymore. They are multi-tasking devices, do it all devices, camera, camcorder, etc, etc. and they cost money. And the labor associated with them is ridiculously cheap. I can't imagine if most of these smartphones where made in the U.S. what the cost would be then.

That is something I can agree with.
