I think it is funny every time I see a new iPhone or iPad commercial where they show some cool application and end it with “Only on the App Store.” I immediately use my Android based phone and look in the Marketplace for the same application. So far I have found the same application every time! Not only do I find it, but I download it, for free and start using it.
I also find it funny when someone says that the 5MP camera on the iPhone 4 is just as good as the HTC Incredible’s 8MP camera. The iPhone user will claim that the software allows you to get as good of a picture. Then I will show how to Incredible the detail of the picture is when you use the zoom and then zoom in through the picture. That truly shows that the 5MP camera on the iPhone 4 is not as good as an 8MP camera on an Android based phone.
And to take it further, when I have proven the iPhone’s camera is not as good, the other person will downplay it and say that a better camera is not needed unless you are a professional photographer. What a cop out!
No matter how great the next iPhone 5 will be, it still will just be trying to catch up with comparable Android based phones. Apple has positioned their products to be of high quality, but unlike others because you have to get their device to have their operating system. That has created more snob appeal for Apple owners. It has also kept Apple product just slightly behind on most of the new items that other phones have like 4G.
Apple will never pass Android in users for the simple fact that there are many phone manufacturers that utilize Android and only one for Apple. That sounds almost like a monopoly. Too bad that HP missed out in similar success with their Palm OS tablet. Oh yeah, Microsoft was coming out with a Windows 7 phone. I think it came out because I remember seeing commercials of a parachute diver showing how simple the phone is. And their phone still did not support cut and paste. duh
Apple sure does have cool commercials. Gieco has some cool commercials too, but everyone knows they don’t save money with Gieco! And now you know that anything iPhone’s can do, Android phones and tablets can do too. And for free most of the time!
