Smartphones: It's the Software, Stupid!

@ Peter Lynch -

As someone else said, there is no Pre. A story like this isn't out of line to ignore it - although mentioning it in passing might make sense given the hype we've seen.

But seriously, other phones have gotten the hype as iPhone killers only to fall far short on launch.

The Ongoing Smartphone Revolution

Robx couldn't be more right. You provide virtually zero basis for your claims. It would help if you conceded that maybe, just maybe, the iPhone has more than marketing to account for its success.

This article is little more than a user comment on a gadget blog.

Why don't you go write it again and try a little harder. I'm interested in why I should want a Google phone instead of an iPhone. I'm also interested in why a non-technical user would be better off with the Google phone.

And have an editor read it before you post it.

Is There a Mobile Phone Recession?

Apple's touch screen is light years ahead. It needs a different term so people buying a Verizon touch screen phone don't think they're getting the same thing.

I agree with Barbarian. Years of lead time and the carriers and handset makers threw it away. They operate under a model of delivering the minimum. They have something they can CALL a touch screen, that's good enough for them.
