I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but the aesthetics of the HTC One IMO is much nicer and a better layout for speakers than the leaked IPhone 6 design.
You can stand by what you like. Thats your prerogative.
I say again, and you can blindly and fanboyishly disagree if you like.
All in, when you account for all of the factors that make up a purchase; cost, availablity, accessibility, design and so on. More people choose the other.
Cheap looking is a subjective measure, Id say that the protruding camera ring is up there at the top of the list for cheap looks.
The next half of your post makes less than zero sense.
As for making money and getting rich, youve seen the mark up Apple puts on things like RAM right?
Lol, more people use Windows phone than iPhone????
Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Omg, you're killing me!
What amazing "apps" does one really need on a tiny phone? Yeah, there's a few basic ones but I'd just as soon have better app support for my tablet. A tablet that runs a full OS instead of something that grew from a cell phone. This is where MS got it right I think.Windows OS on mobile is actually brilliant, maybe better then iOS
But when you have no app support it doesn't matter if you have the greatest OS of all time
Yeah.... then you turn it on its side to play a game or watch a video and your hand covers the speakers... I think you'll find that Apple thinks a lot more about design for useably than most of the other manufacturers. Same thing as that Sony one with only one bezel at the bottom - not much good when you have it in your hand in landscape...![]()
I like these ads.They certainly get Apple's attention. Nothing like pointing out real deficiencies like no multi-tasking on the iPad,more intelligent assistants, etc. This can only lead to a better iOS. I have no desire for anything Microsoft but I, for one, am happy they're hitting Apple as hard as they can.
This is great for Windows, everybody should be cheering Microsoft on to bring balance to the market

That is laughable but it is in Apple's best interest if Microsoft does well in this area
Someone should do a side x side -
If you listen closely, the commands the "human" gives to Cortana and the responses Cortana gives back aren't quite the same -
For example: the flower shop - Human says "any flower shop" and Cortana responds with "The Flower Shop" - or the "remind" to his wife, and Cortana responds with her name.....so one has to wonder if there are a lot more steps to that whole process than what's being shown in the ad, whereas Cortana isn't as intelligent as they suggest?
When I say my wife, Cortana knows who I am talking about because the first time I used the term "my wife" it asked me who that was.
But that's what Post-PC *is*. Funny how people argue about it from both sides and are both basically agreeing on the same thing. Post-PC and "PC Plus" are the same thing, they're just arguing over the definition of Personal Computer. Both sides agree the newer, smaller, lower maintenance computers are gaining focus over the older, complex, more powerful computers. Neither side says older style computers are no longer useful.

Siri does the exact same thing...
I still think my biggest problem with the Surface is that kickstand. Can't replace my laptop if I can't use it on my lap, Microsoft.
Useless market share angle again. tell me.. with all these "most businesses and individuals" choosing Microsoft, Who's a bigger company now? Are they even bigger than Google?
Get stuck in 2007 perhaps?

I replied initially in response to, Microsoft dont get it. They do more than just phones. Im also pretty sure the quote was actually one from SJ aimed at IBM anyway;
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
I never said more people use Windows phone than iOS, you did.
if you want to discount them, fine. If you want to say some thing is quality because it looks nice great, knock yourself out.
I friends that prefer Windows phone and Windows to both the Mac and/or iOS and guess what, I dont think any less of them for it. I might not understand it or want to do what they have done but I do understand that they might have different preferences unlike a lot of posters on this board.
Yes I know its an Apple centric site, that's why Im here, thats my preference but dang there are some strange ones about.
When Siri says: "oh you sound great too?"
Why does Cortana say: "No"?
Yet I use it that way every day in a variety of positions (chair, chair with legs up, in bed, etc.)...and I'm not 7 feet tall...
It DOES work in your lap. Doesn't rock...has never fallen over or off...
Does it work AS WELL as a laptop? No.....but it works.
Siri cannot do what any of the Microsoft commercials are showing...yet...that is why they are relevant.
