APPLE fans scoffed when the press said it was an "iPhone killer".
Now Google's smartphone operating system Android looks to have lived up to the hype.
Research firm Gartner reported today that Android's share of the smartphone market grew by more than 600 per cent in the past year.
In the third quarter of last year, Android accounted for just 3.5 per cent of the market.
This year it's got 25.5 per cent.
That puts it ahead of Apple, Microsoft and the makers of the BlackBerry.
And to add insult to injury, those three all saw their market shares slide rather than grow over the past 12 months.
Gartner said Android's takeover was especially prominent in North America, the heartland of Apple fandom.
The firm said that in the third quarter of 2010, more than 20 million handsets running Android were sold worldwide.

I think it's because people tend to stop being stupid...

Its because the iPhone is only on AT&T. If it was on every carrier, more people would have iPhones, including me.

true as either way.Apple will understand but too late for him when android eat it away

You see that chunk taken out of the Apple logo? Android did that
Now if SPB would hurry up and release MS5 for consumers I might consider getting an android phone next

Totally agree with both those statements.

Hiphone Iphone clone

Has anyone on this forum got or seen anything about this Hiphone.
It's suppost to be the closest clone of an iphone yet and was wondering of you xda-devs have came across one in the flesh so to speak.....
http://www.live25.co.uk/content/say-hello-hiphone
Thanks
EWW thats ugly i dont liek it
Coders and developers needed!
NOW!For all you Hiphone Iclone users there is hope come visit and support us at http://hiphonepro.freeforums.org and spread the word so we can get the developers to listen.
This thing has so much potential!
I wonder if the developers here might help us find out the mysterys of this phone and crack it open for development the phone is excelent but the firmware is limited and undeveloped it has alot of potential to surpass the iphone with just about anything the developer wants to add
Hahaha this thing looks so stupid
It looks as if someone build a foamphone like those foamfingers people use in stadiums and what not.
Don't get it, I am sure it has lead in it.

The Americans have a big thing about lead used in products at the moment, im talking about trace amounts of lead that don't mean anything but they have blown it all out of proportion, so for example my nokia 6300 has a chromed 4 way navigation button, in the manual it says dont put it next to your skin for prolonged periods due to lead content.
it is basically scaremongering to get the US public to stop buying products imported from china
I know I was being facetious.
I am sure all phones have lead, especially on the boards and chips inside, it was a joke.

I may come across that way.
Although I have spent the majority of my life in the states, I have spent a significant amount of time in the UK.
I lived in Southampton for a job until I was made redundant the moved back and still travel there now on business.

Check out the screenshots here about halfway down the page...wonder what the "appliation" button does
I live in China and this kind of Chinglish is everywhere, I love it. There is a second-hand market near my apartment with a huge sign reading "Chicken-hawk Fun Market" with a picture of an old man holding a teenage boy's hand....it's almost like they do it on purpose

Why would someone do anything with this phone, don't promote it, there's about as much potential in this phone as the one pictured above.

I am rich (software)

can some make this ridiculous SW (misspellings and all) for our devices, pleeaaaaase.
[sarcasm]i would love show-off this mockware to all the of those who aren't as rich as me.[/sarcasm]
eight people actually bought it? I guess that means we have eight CONFIRMED idiots on this planet.
wonder how many unconfirmed
i suspect it's mind boggling
LOL. I saw this on giz. I was ROFL'ing for like 5 minutes. And did you guys read about the dude who "accidentally" bought it? LOL
NO... We have more than 8 idiots. You have to include ALL THE APPLE STAFF who approved it in the first place. They probably only took it off when the 8 idiots complained and demanded their refund for the $1000 they spent.
This definitively looks like nice piece of software. I hope someone can develop such a useful and good looking application for our Windows Mobile devices. Otherwise, i might seriously reconsider buying an iPhone.
P.S.:
Congrats to developer of this original app. Nice way of earning few thousands $$ for few seconds of work. Way to go, good thinking!
And all this just proves that iPhone is just a toy for really rich people and true high-tech work of art only for idiots.
"I am rich" for Windows Mobile
Thanks to Julien we, WM users, finally have the chance to try this great app.
It looks like it's still in development. It's not fullscreen yet, but it's still free, so if you want to try this fine piece of software, now's the time.
Download here
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS! I just saw it here:
DL'd it and immediately ported it to my "iPhone"

i am, though, disappointed that the 'deserv' was spelled "correctly." argh, oh well. it's well worth the $2,000.00 i donated for this little gem.
Well, I guess it is still in development so it has some minor issues. I'm sure that fullscreen and misspelling will be added as soon as possible. But this is promising start and we will soon be as sophisticated as iPhone users. I also think that many iPhone users will migrate to WM devices since this app is no longer available in Apple's App Store, so we can expect at least few tousands new xda users in next few days.

I think the number of confirmed idiots on the planet is more like the total number of people who bought an iPhone.

After they're convinced everybody bought and paid for the Ip4G, then they'll bust out the Ip5, probably next summer, then everyone will have to shell out another $650 or more to be "in".
And yea, it just has new innovative never before implemented external antenna (and sue other phone manufacturers that produced phones in the past with an external antenna for patent infringement), maybe a better camera and a few "never before seen, new and innovative" apps that will only run on the 5. Ill bet on it.
I think were due for a Ipad-s right before the holidays.

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
Don't get me wrong, I like apple. I even have an iPod touch (Jailbroken though ). But apple really messed up with the iPhone 4. You would have though that they had tested it so much that they would have found the design flaw. But I do respect them for giving out banners, but come on apple. Saying that your problem is in many other phones is uncool.

A Dead Horse Yes but still some info none the Less

I know this has been discussed and talked about in the past but every new bit will hopefully get us closer to a source for more fantastic roms to be made. The article made me laugh with the first line of the article but like i said hopefully there is some truth behind it.

Those Froyo upgrades are coming real soon now, a Samsung exec repeats.
BARCELONA—Samsung's chief strategy officer said Froyo updates for Samsung's Galaxy S phones are "imminent" and explained why the company chose Nvidia to supply a processor for its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in an interview here at Mobile World Congress.
Samsung has sold more than 10 million Galaxy S smartphones, but most of the ones in the US are still stuck on the older Android 2.1 OS. The 2.2 update is finally really, really close, Khan said.
"Major carrier upgrades are imminent. They're right around the corner," he said.
Samsung has come under a lot of criticism for not delivering the updates, which the company originally promised would arrive in 2010. Future updates will come more promptly, Khan said.
MWC (Mobile World Congress)
"We're competitive and we plan on remaining competitive. We're like to be as quick as possible," he said. "The only way we can prove ourselves is by delivering future upgrades."

Laughing their asses off
We have heard this for how long now? Not flaming the OP, but Samsung that continues to regurgitate the same old line.
So, what part of this "info" is of any use at all? Same crap, same Craptivate.

They have been saying that a FROYO release is really close for almost a year and now 2.4 is to be released by the end of this summer. Do you really think that 2.2 is any closer to being released after another article was put out to the world.
KHHHAAAAANNNNN!!!
I've read this whole article a few times now and it never says the guy's first name, just calls him Khan.
The Epic forum has a thread running wild with sprint official retail screenshots from actual employees saying froyo will be released 2-21-2011.
Damn, it is gone now. Disappeared! I mean deleted not locked.
These threads need to be deleted this is worthless ****

Ain't that pathetic..

a 4" screen, 4G (LTE) data connection and the ability to have 5 icons in a row. Sounds familiar? It took Apple 5 years and their best minds research to make an SGS 4G...
So who needs to sue who now?

That's the thing about Apple. Their most current success is mostly due to marketing, and not their product. You can give Apple consumers a iPhone 4 (or whatever the previous version is), tell them it's an iPhone 5, and they'll believe you. Not only would they believe you, but they'll swear it's better and pay full price for it. Apple is genius, really, but not ethical or innovative.

If you ask me all these patent suits just show that apple feels very threatened and instead of competing the good ole fashion way they are playing dirty and being little bit**es.

Apple releases software updates for three-year-old phones and has yet to ship a phone with carrier-mandated apps. They were also the first to make a usable touch-based smartphone, without which Android would be nothing more than a BlackBerry clone (remember me?).
They're alright in my book.

Their updates are so minimal even a 3 year old phone can run them. That's a bad thing. Android updates make major changes. And not only that, many of the older iphones run stripped down versions of ios, like how the 3gs can't have siri.
the earpods took 3 years of r&d.
