Exactly. We have huge areas of low population density to try to bring coverage to as well as super high demand urban markets...

Competition is good for everyone.
Time will reveal the victor -- however you can't criticize the beautiful designs of Apple's products. They appeal to both the newbies and satisfy the tech heads too. Android is pretty good -- but not fantastic -- but they are just in their first generation. Interesting to see if they will still be around for a version 4 like Apple is now.

The biggest telltale signs of Apple's success is it's integration in other products.
You see it everywhere. Most obvious - Your BMW. IPod hookup. Gym? Treadmill? IPod hookup. Audio Receivers - IPod ready. Little kids? IPods/IPod touch. Guess what? The IPhone offers this. Sure, you can use a USB memory stick and different music on your Android or whatever, but your average consumer doesn't want to put music in multiple devices. It's already time consuming or hard enough (for your average consumer) to do so. Most older consumers ask their kids to do it for them.

They're absolutely successful, popular and widely integrated products. I do like that I can just plug my iPhone/Pod into a treadmall at the gym. Obviously popularity doesn't necessarily mean they're better at everything - Hondas are more popular than BMWs etc.

The Mac OS is so simple to use compared to the PC. Mac : Install OS, click airport icon, choose network - browse web. Windows: Install OS, install drivers, reboot, plug in ethernet cable to connect to internet to download drivers for wireless card, kick pc when you realize you need ethernet drivers too, get MBP, download PC drivers, copy drivers to thumb drive, kick PC again when you realize you need USB drivers, burn drivers to CD, insert CD in PC, copy drivers, install drivers, reboot, fuck around for 10 minutes getting the wireless card to work, choose network, browse web. |

This. When I run 7 in Bootcamp, I can't get the damned network settings thing to open. I have to use bridged networking in Parallels.

Here's a great article (about iPhone 4) for those who just compare device features to determine what makes a better phone: http://www.tightwind.net/?p=1936 I really couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm buying one, but can only hope that video chat/ FaceTime will be able to connect to devices other than iPhone 4s in the near future. They're chalking it up to "carrier issues" just like they did with tethering, which we are FINALLY getting with iOS 4. Epic fail.

I'd love to see a more in-depth video of the machining and assembly process. I love how precise all the components on my uMBP are, it'll be nice to own a phone that possesses the same quality. Moving to a glass back was a good move, it'll be significantly less scratch prone than the current plastic.

The iPhone 4 looks really nice, and I might get one for a bit. I'll probably be driven away again due to the lack of hardware keyboard (not the phone's fault, I know...), but I don't think it's as far from the competition as it has been in the past.... This time, it looks like Apple has (for the most part) gotten "real" about HW specs, probably mostly due to pressure being applied by competitors.... That is a good thing. However, even though they may be the best "smartphone" for your average user, they should definitely try to stay ahead of the curve. It's going to be difficult. Android is moving very quickly, and so is the hardware backing them.... Also, with the planned decrease in fragmentation of Android OS's, it should move forward nicely. |

Nope. It'll require different hardware just like 3G did, unfortunately.

Agreed. I don't see LTE being in many markets before iPhone 5/6 is released.
