Actually there's a big problem with you if you allow an online forum (of faceless beings on the internet whom you don't know personally, never seen before, don't know truly how old they are, don't know if they are nice people or not and don't know if they truly own any Apple products) to decide your fate of owning future electronics products. If strangers can control you this strongly then that Matrix movie is spot on about where the world is going.
Having choices ARE indeed confusing typical iUser. perhaps that's why Apple realizes that and doesn't give much. On the contrary, other people like having choices. You see, even though they will all run WP7, manufacturers will have to compete by producing better hardware, adding more features and software.
While WP7 may have many new innovative features, unfortunately they will kill many user customization with WP7 and that's why Windows Mobile 6.5 might be the option for you if you like customization. applications will have to be installed through the app store. You can't just download from anywhere and install applications like you can with Win Mo 6.5.
Wow I really admire your sophisticated observation.How exactly do you suggest they make a smiley icon differently? I mean, it has to be smiley and a wink right?
It pains me to see how you show your ignorance in public. Here, www.microsoft.com
You must love how Apple keeps you away from being confused by deciding for you. We understand the reason....
No, ask god, his email is sj@apple.comYou should ask the question by email to Steve Ballmerjmull said:
I actually agree with you for once. Microsoft have a nasty habit of trying to make it 'simpler' by having more than one version of the same product. I mean, 2 versions (home and professional) is fair enough; but when you start getting into the many strains of 7 or Vista, it blags you head a bit. You actually have to take time to see which one you want instead of just simply purchasing. The last think I want to do is go into detailed research on which product I want. Especially something as generic as an Operating System or a Phone.
Most of the drama would be gone and the CNN headlines would disappear. Thankfully, we would no longer hear, "Verizon gets the iPhone" constantly so we can actually have other discussions. YAY!!!
The Prada was announced around the same time as the iPhone but I believe that the iPhone shipped "BEFORE" the Prada and it was just a skin on WinMo so I could see someone spying on Apple and then whipping up a skin for WinMo very quickly to attempt to steal some thunder or cause confusion. They did not reinvent a new OS like Apple did for the iPhone.
Spoken like a typical fanboy who has probably never coded for a living. Developer hate choice within a platform because that mean that they have to do a lot more testing and possibly limit their releases either in features to cover the lowest common denominator or to a small subset of a market that is small to begin with.
Are you actually advocating WinMo 6.5? Do you work for MSFT marketing or something? The "customization" that you speak of is cheesy skinning. It does not alter the functionality of the phone OS or add new functionality. It is as stupid as when people were desperately trying to skin their windows XP to look like OS X.
Were you talking to yourself?
You must love paying through the nose for Windows 7 ULTIMATE when you should get all of the features for the base price. With Snow Leopard, there was "ONE" low priced upgrade SKU price with all features enabled.
You don't seem to have a very good memory. Jon Rubenstein was heavily involved in the development of the iPod at Apple so when he left Apple for Palm, he was misusing his knowledge of Apple's intellectual property to "HACK" the Palm Pre to sync with iTunes by "IMPERSONATING" an iPod to the USB host controller on the PC/Mac it was syncing to. That was against the rules of how USB devices are supposed to identify themselves. Palm almost had their rights to the USB logo removed because of the stunts they were pulling.
