So much for the "people will still buy an iPhone" theory.

Apple had better be spending money on R&D, hopefully to improve the call quality. How many people are getting iPhones but keeping a second phone for phones calls because the call quality just isn't good enough? ]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:08:32 -0400

The authors assertion that Motorola is 9 months behind on Android is odd. HTC rushed an Android phone out, before the software was fully ready. You can only build an Android phone with one chip from Qualcom, Google just can't support more than one chip right now because the OS is still being developed. So a Q209 lauch is not late at all. By this time next year the G1 would have been forgotten. Whether Motorola is in the right position by than remains to be seen, but to say they are late shows a lack of understanding of the market.]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:02:46 -0400
