The iPhone is a great phone. It always had the best of specifications available in the market (at the time of its launch). I guess that is true for any product of Apple. But then iPhone, and even the company, owes its success to the stupidly moronic following that it has. I remember a company's senior executive who insisted on using a Mac eventhough the tech team was not able to provide access to its servers. So, everytime he needed to share a file with his team, he had to e-mail it. Apple makes a lot of money not just from the sale of iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macs, but also from online downloads and its apps store. While I do not support piracy, there should at least be something free. If there is nothing free then the price of the phone should be lower.

There is a big blue arrow on Google homepage today and there a lot of buzz on Google Plus and it's iPhone features. I am really not sure what is Google Plus and why there is big blue arrow. Any one has any idea?
Rediffmail is the most useless mail server. I have been locked out of my account for the last two days due to what Rediff claims as "temporary server problem". Apart from this, the Rediffmail server regularly bounces back mail for no sound reason. And worst, the Rediff home page is certainly not made for family viewing with its stupid and tasteless "slip" icons showing near pornographic photos and videos !

STRONGLY AGREE. Rediff home page is certainly not made for family viewing with its stupid and tasteless "slip" icons showing near pornographic photos and videos !

V true. I am also afraid to open Rediff from office since my colleagues may doubt I am trying to watch some soft prn stuff.
Apple launched all iphone series - 2G,3G,3GS,4 locked to some or other carrier and jaibbreak helped to unlock the device. If jailbreak tool was not introduced Apple could never had become no.1 mobile manufacturer in US/UK. Jailbreak not only had help people to unlock their device, but it also to customize their iOS. Till jailbreak tool introduced, Nokia was no.1, then Sony ericsson and then Apple.
Hence developer's should be given credit and not Steve jobs/Apple's RnD, iphone was never unique!!
But now Apple is lagging behind, Android dominated global market.

Apple is not lagging behind. You are comparing quantity vs quality. These days every abc manufacturer is making Android phones. But that dosn't mean that they are good. I have seen shit android phones. One thing is for sure. Apple doesn't compromise on quality.

Gaurav, Samsung alone is doing world class phones with Android: the SGS2 is something that Apple never thought as a competitor: now, still to enter US, SGS2 is selling like hot cakes: Apple has some catching up to do...

I think there are many android users and the latest samsung galaxy S2 rocks. iPhone4 doesnt stand a chance anywhere near it. If we are waiting for iPhone5 launch then there is S3 coming in 6 months. Android an open platform and Samsung has combined technology which is far superior to iphone in hardware.

Hardware feature wise Apple is not as good as Galaxy. But they package it so well that most people get attracted to it . A bit like Windows when something like Linux comes free of cost . (Ofcourse there are some more reasons for Linux to not catch up)
Re: Re: Compare Galaxy S2 with Iphone4
by gaius octavian on Sep 21, 2011 06:17 PM
linux is already free and it will never catch up because it is not as user friendly as windows and how how many people in india ever payed for windows? lol

i am having Samsung Galaxy ace, but battery life is very poor. I think battery if iPhone is much better than ace.

Karthik, I agree with you: I own a SGS2 and even used a Iphone4 briefly... both are good: but if apple really cares for comparisions, then they have some catching up to do.. except for the initial hiccups of using Kies, Samsung really rocks...

No doubt S2 is a good phone but to say that iPhones are yuck shows that you know not a thing about iPhone.

All those who have started a hate each other's likes have missed the point totally: It is not about what kind of a creature who uses Iphone or SGS2 is: it is about what is the best one today: as of now, it is SGS2 ahead hands down... not that Iphone4 is not good: it has passed it's prime: now Apple have to work on the Iphone5 and till then, let us suckers and phoneys admit: SGS2 is way ahead... As for Sameer, you don't realise what products have been banned: certainly not the SGS2: it is the Tab that is banned...
