HTC Beats Apple to 3G

* eSeong Network Reviews Top Topic *

* ) In the last area of where the Touch loses to the iPhone, size really doesn't matter, at least not to me. I'm not concerned with "how much" music I can listen to as I am concerned with "how" I listen to it. My current MP3 player is only 4GB. It's LIGHTYEARS better than the iPod for me because it has a bluetooth receiver built in. Since it is A2DP compatible, and my headphones are engineered as such, I have no more wires to worry about, which is why I really got it in the first place. But if having terabytes attached to your hip is important to you, so be it.

* ) a copy will always be a copy and nothing more, yes it launched a month before iphone but iphone was anounced years before that, plenty of time to copy the apples touch, and apple always takes her time to polish up its products, im glad she does.
ps: even windows is a copy of MacOS Classic(1984)

* ) Hope this in not another phone which does everything but does not ring when a call comes in. I was one among the many sprint touch users who are still having hard time with touch, and no one's talking abt the so called firmware update which is due q1 2008. And here if we were are talking about competing with an iphone, atleast put in a 3.5 mm jack in there so that we dont have walk around with a bunch of clumsy convertors attached to the phone.

* ) Chip, how long do we have to hear this garbage? Microsoft and IBM collaborated on what became OS/2 for IBM and NT for Microsoft, but what sold was Windows 95/98 which were Mac OS knockoff's. Eventually Microsoft moved the 95/98 UI to NT which is where XP came from.

As for the Mac being a knockoff of Xerox Star OS? Yes, star was out first with icons and a window (no over lapping windows) and a mouse pointer and WYSIWYG displays. All of which are elements of the mac OS, Windows and OS 2. Apple took this design much further with a menu bar, overlapping movable windows and a trash can and more importantly a rich toolbox for programers to use to make consistent looking and acting applications. That OS was dramatically re-written with OS 7 and then again with OS 9. Now OS X is yet another re-write.

Thank you to Xerox, but lets not dismiss Apple's contributions by saying that OS X is a Xerox Star knockoff!
