Re: Microsoft is stil in better posistion callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 07:52:48 PM
Windows is not going to go away because something better comes along while that is a real threat for i-phone. Android devices are becoming more popular and could take a real bite out of the i-phone market in the next few years. Apple relies too much on just being cool and cool can change look at bell bottom pants and harvest gold appliances.

I know the only reason I have an i-pjhone is I got for $50 refurbed through AT&T.


I'm work in a drugstore in a poor section of town. I've found, its easy to gauge a cell phones popularity by how many poor people have a phone. Poor people love having new, cool phones. Those foodstamp users get a new phone every month, it seems. I still haven't seen any Android phones at work. I've seen a lot of iPhones, still see lots of Sidekicks, and plenty of Blackberrys. But not really any of the Android phones.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
