Gday, Merely wanted to show you your website isn’t launching correctly on my iphone. Do you know if there is some setting I need to use to make it display correctly? Everything is out of line.

Saul, you make a good case about the battle that the consumer has in making a choice. There are however a few things that you need to keep in mind. From an economic point I would be surprised if anyone does not buy into the BlackBerry “uncapped” on device browsing at the moment, as it provides a lot for non PC owners. The iPhone vs iPhone 3GS debate will turn into the 3GS favor as Jobs is pushing users via software updates to it. Nokia seems to be missing something a killer handset (yes I said it) and this announcement seems a bit like damage control in my mind as. They are bleeding users to other manufacturers in this country and need to aggressively find something other than the Ovi Store to sell to consumers. I find it interesting that you don’t mention HTC(is it the Android users)as they continue to impress. Also is Meego not supposed to take over from Symbian for Nokia phones in the next 6 months?

The truth is that Samsung, Sony Ericcson and LG (apologies to owners of those phones, which I am a part of )have a great potential to gain market share by being creative and creating a solid mid level phone and so ensuring that they increase market share.

Also you cleverly dont mention what you are intending to upgrade to … so have you made a decision yet. My opinion on the whole mobile phone industry is that it boils down to what you want and how your usage is like. Great post and one that got me thinking on how we have just started to focus on the high end phones…

Very nice idea. I think a lot of people (myself included) use this to their advantage by waiting just a bit so that the current hot phone becomes free on a weekender or the like. Luckily, two years ago, phones got so good that I’d be fine still using them today, so I think this is a fairly new phenomenon. However, this might not be in the best interest of the manufacturers, as they have to constantly innovate. That might be ok at the moment since technology is ramping up so quickly, but whether or not this pace of development can be sustained remains to be seen.

Another major drawback is that new tends will take long to trickle into the mainstream (for example augmented reality) since the mainstream would have to wait a year or two to get the hardware. Meanwhile, manufacturers who whip out cheap, resistive-touch based phones with digital compasses will laugh all the way to the bank…

Window’s vista may suck but windows xp is still better. As for the mac YOU CAN’T CUSTOMIZE IT!!! it SUCKS. i can build a WAY better computer than a mac for WAY less, macs are pieces of shi*. you get on it and there’s only one mouse button. WTF!!! it is a task just to delete something and did i mention that you can’t customize it! Macs are for wannabe tech’s or rich people with money to throw down the toilet and into that idiot steve Jobs’s pocket, ugh!

I’m just a simple computer user, nothing fancy. But I’ve been using windows computers forever. I’ve never had a windows computer just stop working on me all together (I have had one that had a hardware problem, which was my fault shut off on me a few times).
The two times I used macs (two different macs, mind you) One of them was new, and it kept freezing and crashing, I think it was a mac book pro. The other was a very old school mac desktop, and it shut off while the owner and I were in the middle of a project.
I won’t let these experiences scar my idea of a mac, but honestly, I’m getting sick of mac users telling me how terrible MY windows computer is, and how much MY windows computer has problems, when they’ve never even seen my computer.
