You have to agree its better than Verizon DROID commercials that show you absolutely nothing about the phone right?
I thought that was a pretty terrible advert to be honest.
It seems like it was targeted toward young people.

IMHO the Verizon Droid commercials and the Droid brand identity in general are some of the absolute worst marketing decisions ever made. It's like they don't even want women and older people to buy the devices.

Agreed. I have a few of my iPhone friends ask me sometimes "I want to buy a Droid but when I look at these commercials I have no idea what the hell it does...Am I supposed to go into space with it or something?"
That whole "mysterious space age" stuff isn't exactly attractive to the mainstream market. Maybe only techies and sci-fi lovers.
On topic: I thought the commercial was a little limiting (doesn't show everything about the device), but yes, something like THAT does attract the mainstream market a little more.

Agreed. They're just terrible.
That's why I like these new Nexus commercials. They actually show people using the phone for real world stuff.
That advert is ****.
It would be nice if they did an advert in the UK, I've never seen an advert for a Nexus handset.
Out of all the Galaxy Nexus commercials I have seen thus far I think this one is probably the best and appealing to most people:

Wowwww. never thought I would say this for an iPhone. Always a loyal WinMo user and HTC user, recently changed to Android from WinMO. Now this iPhone 4 would be REALLY hard to resist ..... I am being converted ..
Check the live blog:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/steve-jobs-live-from-wwdc-2010/
I guess, now the only issue on which iPhone 4 lacks is the Flash.
What are the opinions guys. Who is dumping HTC/Android/WinMo for iPhone 4????
Nice hardware, shame it runs Apple OS really.
Can't believe how excitedly they were reporting video calls (wifi only btw!) - like it was some major revolution. Have they been living in caves!?
Hardware looks 'ok', but nothing that I would'nt expect from the latest phone on the market. Other than that, as said, as long as it's made by Apple, runs Apple's OS and is held down by the restrictions that follows, I'm never going to consider it over Android.
looks alrite, but i still prefer my HTC and android over apple.
thought android had overtaken iphone in market share???
Android forever )!

I personally think the box-like shape is terribly ugly. It looks like a portable hard drive.
Couldn't find anything terribly appealing in it.
Would pick up the open-Android over closed-iPhone any day!
Apple can suck the sweat from my balls! I will never buy an Apple product.
I dislike the level of arrogance they seem to have and the business practices they use. And the way Jobs tries to sell us old ideas and features, as new and "revolutionary" really grinds my gears.
That said, the new iphone looks like a sugary sweet device.
battery life looks great though I'd trade that any day! haha

It IS a major revolution... cause Steve Jobs says so.
Please believe me when I say this: if someone would offer me an iPhone 4 in exchange for my HTC Desire I'd take the iPhone, sell it and buy a HTC Incredible (and keep the change )
Android all the way

nope, android is no way near apple in terms of market share.
but anyway, the phone looks pretty awesome (326 ppi screen!!!)
video calling over wifi only sucks, but fring is already on the app store and im pretty sure they could add video like on the evo (if apple lets it! which they probably wont!)
flash isn't a huge issue for me because all the websites i use for video (like iplayer, tvcatchup.com) already work on the iphone.
the level of polish on the iphone software is also awesome, it's so fast and smooth, and the quality/number of apps on the app store blows the android market away.
will i be getting one? probably not, they're so darn expensive! and i'd miss the customisation you get with android.

yeah i think that's the only reason why all of us are using android, we want to do what we want with our phones!
but i dont blame apple for doing it, i really don't think the iphone would be were it is today if apple let developers and users do whatever they want. with apple controlling everything you get a reliable, consistent smooth operation, which the average user loves. Average Joe doesn't care if apps have to be approved by apple - in fact the average apple users has no idea what goes on in terms of apps and restrictions - all they see is the end product.
the few that do either go android or jailbreak!
The iPhone always looked like a good idea to me on the face of things but I wouldn't get on because they're too expensive and the OS is too closed. There are some ways where the iPhone and the apple OS currently out does Android, susch as the apps, but on balance a Desire running Android is still the phone for me. I know lots of people who have an iPhone who will definitely get it, and if they're happy with the OS and the cost there's not really any reason not to.

Ask what happens when your friend is trying to use siri in a room where so many people are talking loudly?
Not having to use iTunes was worth switching to android on its own.
I'm not going to lie to you...from a technology standpoint, Siri is pretty excellent. I do hope Google catches up in regard to setting reminders, calendar events and non-email notes via Voice.
On the other hand, who wants to pay an exorbitant cost on a dated framework, unreliable service and 100% liability device? Anybody...anybody...Bueller?
Didn't think so.

All I see is an app drawer when I look at an iphone. I always said there's more to a phone than just apps. Yes widgets, extended batteries, expandable memory, hacking, launchers, keyboards, fonts, themes, live wallpapers, huge screen, not having to use iTunes, endless customizing. Only Borg type people are iphone users. Plus your supporting shady business practice.
The biggest turn off is the tiny screen. Ive also told people I couldnt deal with such a small screen.
Why do we have to argue/debate with people over this? My brother and his gf both have iPhone 4S's, I don't give a ****, that's their choice. I don't get the constant competing with users of cell phone OS's.
I usually don't but once in a while you'll get that smug ifan android basher that has no clue what their talking about. OP just wants a few talking points to shut them up.
Best ones:
IPhone is a smartphone for dumb people.
Tiny screen is unacceptable.
Slave to apples dictatorship on how your phone will look and operate.
Supporting a company that competes through litigation instead of innovation in a free market.
Overpriced handsets with sub par specs and quality. $750 for the 4s? Seriously? My ET4g has 48 gigs of memory.

I've used both platforms extensively and there are definitely strengths and weaknesses to them both. The arguments back and forth can be pretty funny especially on forums like Engadget. The statement that iPhone users are dumb though is one argument that I find ridiculous. Out of all my friends i am definitely the most tech literate. I flash roms, theme my phones, even write some applications. A lot of the people I know that use iPhones are doctors and lawyers, but don't have that much interest or the time for technology so simple is good. To think you are smarter than someone because you can switch out your launcher or overclock your phone is pretty stupid to begin with. Most of this is just effort. You are probably kidding, so not directed at you... this just always comes up in these "discussiond" especially when folks starting getting personal. Cheers.

BTW, you realize that even if Apple didn't sue the crap out of every phone manufacturer, the savings would not be passed along to you as the consumer. Samsung, HTC and Motorola would still price mirror the competition and profit. Also, the only people actually winning in these BS lawsuits are the douchebag lawyers, not you and Android.

first off, i hate Yin and Yang discussions but since this is yet ANOTHER "apple sucks" discussion, lets look at it from your point of view. per your quote from endlessparadigm, Samsung released some garbage ass smartphones to compete with blackberry. Well, Apple then said "F U!" because blackberry blows donkey nuts and turned a phone into a smart device and had the actual "phone" as a simple app. By creating a phone function as a simple "application", the true definition of "smart phone" was defined. This device was not based on the phone alone, but additional apps that carried the same presidense for the end user that the phone did.
Because of this presidense, iPhone users began to use their devices on a regular basis for applications outside of the normal, everyday use of a cell phone. these users were downloading guitar tabs, angry birds, etc... to this device as a means of mobile communication through data cells. This exchange of data with other users led to others seeking the same interchangabililty for a "social" outcome.
As you identify our devices today, the majority of what we do is based on communication. whether it be facebook, twitter or sms, those are all simple applications Apple had the BALLS to integrate as core functions of their OS while others waited for someone else to do it, because they didn't believe it could be done.
Quote Frankly OP, if Apple didn't step the game up and did what they did, you would still be updating your Samsung Design.
The whole lawsuit lost its credibility when Apple claimed people would buy a Samsung device thinking it was an iPhone, at that point if I was the judge I would have thrown it out of my courtroom. If a person buys a Samsung phone thinking it's an iPhone then both phones are smarter than that person anyway, you would have to be a complete moron to make that mistake

Yeah, iOS was sort of a pioneer for us. The ORIGINAL touchwiz does seem more or less a copy, but they did grow from that over the years.
The fact of the matter is, if apple wins, they'll have the ego to start going after more and more companies probably even google. Our OS is on the line atm, which is why alot of us our up in arms
I like to think of Apple as republicans, sure they had good intentions at the start, but they let the money and influence get to their heads. Like Republicans now a days, they go after anyone that's not them and kick em in the balls, partially for no right or reason.

Apple makes great products, they innovate and when they don't they compensate with their design, packaging, marketing and branding which is world class, appealing even sexy. Then they start dictating what you can and cannot do with their stuff, after you've paid a premium price for it, and that's where they lose me.

Only thing she had to get use to was using a touch screen and it took her all of 2 weeks to get use to using a touch screen. She easily setup a password, sync'd her contacts, added music, etc. and that was on android 1.6

Uuuuh, 2 huge things I can think of off the top of my head.
1. Only allowed to download Apple approved apps from the app store, no side loading.
2. Entire file system is not accessible by the user.
Just these two put up some huge barriers for people who want to do whatever they want with the hardware, and furthers the idea that they only let you do what they want you to do.

I have a idea, how about we post more Apple/iPhone threads in a Nexus forum.
Seriously, there needs to be a dedicated hate on Apple forum, would definitely clean up these ones.
Should be noted that he uses android not iPhone I wonder why

He uses both. Galaxy 3 is the flavor of the moment. He uses a lot of phones, including wp7.

Woz uses most tech products known to man! I'm on a rather ****e 2g network here so cant link, but google what he carries with him in his backpack... extraordinary sight.

Woz is an engineer so of course he hates patents. But he doesn't have any expertise in law so what he says about the court proceedings should be taken with a grain of salt.

Here is what you were looking for. Yeah, it seems just a little over the top for me. I can't imagine what he does with all that stuff.

Woz is cool, which is more than you can say for most iconic figures. Doesn't need to feed his own ego 24/7 and doesn't care what anyone else thinks.
Doesnt he use all types of phones??
The point is he doesn't use iPhone if at all lol

I don't think that is the point you should take away from the article. He uses everything.
He uses iPhone. I am sure he is a player in design and "copying", but I think its more like these features are good, why doesn't apple try them or improve upon them.

I too hate patent war...!!
If this continues, its not far that car companies will sue each other for using round tyres.....
