Android R.I.P. - The Grips of Jobs' Dead Hands

Android, and every other touchscreen OS, (besides iOS) you might as well say goodbye to...
Apple now has the power to destroy Android, Windows Phone, and any other iOS Touchscreen Competitor... Steve Jobs wins this round (for now anyways...)
How long before Apple has the S3 Pulled? This is the top iPhone competitor besides the DROID RAZR Series, with the S3 far ahead...
Check this out:
http://www.acsyndicate.net/apple-aw...ts-the-possible-end-of-android-as-we-know-it/
This could spell the end for Android and this phone, and I will not be a happy camper if I can't upgrade because of Apple... I will throw a major tantrum!
Google, act & appeal fast and fix this mess!!!!
Comments, Thoughts, Last Wishes?
I am not saying this will happen, but is quite possible if the government doesn't block Apple in their tracks from doing so... (I think once Google Appeals, these parents will be made standard for touchscreens...)

If this ever happens i would rather go back to a flip phone or have none at all. I would never give apple any of my money.

I refuse to get an Apple device, but this won't effect available devices in stock or on eBay, so good Android devices will be very rare if this goes the way Apple wants... I'll tell you one thing, eBay prices for Android Devices will go sky high.... (used or not...)
Edit: I miss flip phones anyways, so I'll go old school if I have to...

i have an ipad, and this makes me want to smash it. Apple, you do not own the world, you were not the first to create a "list" on an electronic device. If your so afraid of Samsung, then just build a darn phone with a bigger screen, i wont buy it, but tons of other people would. Fair competition is good for business, it keeps ingenuity alive and keeps engineers pushing the limits of what can be done. Competition is THE ONLY REASON we have the superphones we have now. If apple owns all the rights to make anything that even resembles a smartphone, we will have the iphone 4s renamed and sold as a new product for the next decade.
Whoever the judge is that granted that patent, is an idiot.

it will never happen. Nothing to add.

Well some of what this says they currently have rights to like list view is bs because before the first iPhone was released I was able to use list view on Windows mobile for years. So unless I've miss read, something isn't right or maybe my aging memory is wrong.

Do a factory reset, sell it, buy a Galaxy Tab, then shove it in your Apple Store representatives face showing features that the iPad doesn't have... No reason to smash something worth hundreds, (although the company who makes it is pure evil...) But I agree with what you were saying completely...

I have the HTC EVO View, while I am not a fan of HTC, nor the EVO Series, I don't regret the purchase... Now there is wayyy more support for tablets and specialized tablet UIs.... Now just make sure you get a high end one that will be upgraded to Jelly Bean... (It's not worth getting one on a data contract, as you can tether from your phone to your tablet...)
Note: The EVO View nor HTC Flyer will NOT Get ICS nor JB so don't even bother...

You couldn't have put it any better... This happened around the 17th of this month... and we (the public) have yet to hear of any response from Google...

This is for USA only other countries won't tolerate this bs. Only in the USA. Where they're are so proud of apple for outsourcing jobs that Americans badly need smucks.

Android is here to stay. Google and samsung have some pretty good lawyers too. It's total BS that this kinda stuff even goes on. The only people getting rich on this are the lawyers. If they were smart, they'd sit across from each other at a conference table and make a truce and move on.
Now that Jobs is dead, it's just a matter of time before Apple slips into irrelevance. Nobody there has the passion he had about his company, and nobody is gonna defend it like he did.
That 40 billion they have will be squandered away on bogus patent law suits. Money that could have been spent on more cutting edge development. Everybody knows that patents are crap. Your better off not even applying for a patent and get the thing to market first. By the time they figure out what you did, you come up with something new. A patent application is an invitation and a headstart for everybody else to steal your idea. The company thats ahead of the development curve, and gets it to market fast and furious, makes the money.
Boo hoo...they stole my idea:crying:

Apple is a joke. This is what happens when they feel threaten by a competitor. I will give it to Apple the iPhone was a brake through, but since then Android came out and is user friendly with developers willing to make the devices better and faster more customizable. Making the Android OS just better period. Apple needs to realize there are other players in this game so step up as Android HAS. They know Android IS the future and their scared they will be left behind. Lol I laugh a Apple, I'm going to tell them like I do any young kid with a bad attitude grow up.

The court should get sued for taking away our right to choose what we want to purchase. I will rather NOT have a phone or an old crappy phone than own a crapple device. I will order my phones through China or Japanese manufactures. but owning a crappy device I will not!

Oh and just to add a good question shouldn't someone sue Apple for using someone else's technology like LCD, LED screens, let them have the right to the patents a lot it would do them with a device with no screen.

[Q] [OffTopic] Why do I hate...

I began thinking this yesterday and I don't know if it's because I just can't knock sense into people's skulls, or if they are so ignorant to take my advice.
I HATE iPhone buyers/fanboys(some people have to use them for work.)
I have this person who asked me if I saw the gathering of mindless idiots yesterday (I'm paraphrasing) I said yes but then he (a current iPhone user) told me he was buying it because it's "sexy" I proceeded to tell him the spec bump from the 4s was minimal and that it has nothing on the top current Android phone. He then proceeded to tell me he doesn't care and he's still going to buy it anyway. Please help me understand this? Now I don't know if it is that I don't get where he's coming from or if he's just a darn idiot.
I understand and am in complete agreance that if you use Macs at home apple is a good way to go for you. BUT he doesn't... He is a sheep.
Now on to my point... I hate apple... Not only hate, but I'd love to see Apple fail miserably (not the people employed, but the company and the ones that call the shots) just one time I want to see a tech blogger ask questions like, "How confident and how do you feel about your product entering the market while your competition is beating your current specs?" or one of them yell out "WOW YOU MINIMALLY INCREASED 4 SPECS AND AN OS UPDATE FU**ING BRILLIANT!!!" My very own cousin and brother in law are trapped with the sheep.
My brother in law called me and asked me what I thought... I ended up hanging up on him in utter frustration because he failed to listen... It's like he can't wait to throw money at them...
That's not all though, the technology bogs even call it brilliant... And they won't shut the fu## up about it... Dude its got a sapphire lense (watch faces are made out of this...) Dude its optics are precision aligned (how the fu$$ else do you expect to take pictures if your optics aren't aligned with precision?) and everyone eats it up.
Here lately I feel really smart... But I also can't stand to talk to idiots who are the iPhone sheep.
I could go into Apples patent hungry team and using them as weapons but we all know that.
Why am I this way? What can I do to ensure I can coexist with these dumb heads? Any advice before I go insane? Am I in the wrong? Should I be on something? I'm literally at my last nerve and am about to deck someone the next time the word iPhone comes out their da*n mouth.
Thanks in advance,
-sick of it

LOL! Sounds like someone has Apple issues. JK.
I personally hate iPhone as well and their users love it and I can never understand. Grr
I have 2 MAC Pro's in the house and 2 HP Beat's laptops I like their MAC's (other than that forget it) Honestly I don't see why anyone would buy the i5 when they have an i4 already.
Looks the same doesn't know anything more than the i4. The only reason I see people getting it for a reason is if they want to rock on Verizon's awesome 4G LTE since other carrier's 4g still su*k
Honeslty the i4/5 (same thing) has nothing on the GS3. Our phones beat the crap out of them any day or night oh don't make me forget anytime! :laugh:
(oh and what you said that iphone users don't listen geeezz your so right have the same problem & it makes me mad as hell since I've been dealing with cell phones ever since I was 12yrs old lol)

Ive owned iPhones. They are good phones, but not what the fanboys make out of them. Id never own one again, not my cup of tea.
Funny vid out there of fanboys given iPhone 4S's and were told the were iPhone 5's. They bought the story. idiots they are!
Ill stick to my androids

yes this is one of them lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIWKytq_q4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

"Sexy"?
The phone has been elongated slightly in one dimension and is thinner, with slightly bevelled edges that look mechanical more than fluid to me. Contrast this with the fluid look and feel of a S3, for example. The iPhone 5 still just a (patented) rounded rectangle. "Sexy"?
iOS6 is certainly an improvement, but it's otherwise still (mostly) just a bunch of icons in a matrix format. Yeah, I can see how that would get someone moist.
- ooofest

i figured itout the other day talking to some firends when they asked me about my phone.
i showed them roms i had, different icons, widgets, etc.
they had NO interest in any of that. they use their phones for games, making calls, texting and going on facebook. they dont want or need any other features. They loved it. thought it was cool, but no interest
thats the AVERAGE consumer. the people here arent average consumers.
and thats where the line is drawn. if you werent technlogically sound, didnt find the need to open a laptop wouldnt you want to have your ipod and phone together? Its maketed to the mass public. and it meets their needs. They dont need to have a quad core processor. Their customer base wont know or care what that is.

Here is what it is. If you take an old android phone and ask apple to put their logo on as "iphone6" on it then sell it. It's going to sell like cup cakes. The moral of the story is. Iphone fan boys are PUPPETS= NO BRAINERS=LOW IQ.=YOUNG TEENAGERS=OLD FARTs. End of discussion.

Whoaho. Buddy I am a young teenager and I feel your pain. But not all teenagers r like an isheep. Now 99% of teenage girls. Yes. Yes they r. They don't care about specs and all. They know apple is the cool thing and so they fork over their parents money to get one. Now I must admit teenagers r much more prown to falling into the isheepiness. I was once one. I thought my ipod was the thing. It was perfect! But then I found out about jail breaking and all that put a horrid android skin on it and loved android. Now I was like 12 and ever since thirteen always been android. Samsung galaxy s3 and nexus 7.

IPhone are girl phones. I usually only see girls with them. But they're great for older people that want a smart phone, or someone that wants something simple.

Er, I don't like to classify most things with the schoolyard "boy" and "girl" label from a cultural perspective, and easily see as many males as females with iPhones.
I do agree that for people not in touch or interested in technology, thetedious, foolproof (i.e., dumb) iOS interface with a single button has a degree of attraction.

Good point... people can be manipulated into believing anything. You know that it's gonna be appealed for sure.

I would agree with the apple v samsung comment if samsung were mentioned in this video, but they were comparing apples and apples. literally.
Still funny. People are idiots. Doesn't the phone say it's a 4S on the back in extremely tiny letters? And of course a new phone without any web cache or app cache or e-mail updates every ten seconds slowing it down will be faster. All goes to show you can social-engineer just about anything.

LOLOL that's awesome.

Thinking again, I can see the verdict coming to mind... I can see, "if people are so effing stupid they can't tell the difference between an iP4S and ... well, an iP4S -- or they see differences when obviously none exist -- then how can they be expected to see the differences between the Empire State building and Lake Pontchartrain or a Galaxy device and an iPlop?"

Bet if you did that to some Android users, we would know.

Where would you even start??? it is so hard to find an android phone that looks like its predecessor that much you cant tell it apart. Plus with android users, the first question they'd probably ask is"what android version is it running?" And that would problably give it away.

Right???
I've been working break-fix for years, supporting end users from literally all walks, and one thing I've noticed about the majority of iPhone users is they are absolutely lemmings, across the board. The majority of my customers -- apple users and otherwise -- are buzzword addicts, and I had this conversation with my coworker a few days ago... you could say there's a new technology out in [insert platform here] that would be the coolest thing, and if you called it "doodooflinging" three weeks from now you'd have a hundred of their friends at the local [insert platform here] store asking for the latest poo, and it wouldn't matter that it didn't really exist because most people wouldn't know otherwise.
Like 802.11n. Seriously, how would you know, if you don't know tech and it's not written on the device?
Yeah, sheeple.

Good Stuff
Had to post that for all my iPhone freak friends. Totally hilarious!

Lmao good video, I honestly dont know why people are obsessed with apple products.

Status.
I'm different. Like everyone else.
You know.
EDIT: At least, that used to be it. iPhone used to be new, so people wanted one, but the status thing is still there.
For some of them, it's a "hoity toity" thing, for others it's just "I paid double what I needed to for my hardware". So it's still a status thing, but those of us back here on Planet Earth are more sensible.

A couple if friends went to ridicule the apple fans lining up for the iphone, LOL!

A friend who's a big fan of Apple products told me the iPhone 5 was supposed to be Steve Jobs' vision of the "perfect phone". Of course, I told him that's ridiculous because they were continuing development after his untimely passing. Maybe future development really will make it the phone of phones.

The only time I will ever buy an iPhone, is when it is actually better!

haha :laugh:

THE IPHONE 5, like the 4 but taller. that's it. hahahahah!

The only time I will buy an iPhone is when it can download food.

I will only buy the iphone if I need to test my designs for app development purposes.

Apple did claim that samsung is a copy of apple,
except the part that it is bigger, faster, better, has NFC, MHL, HD resolution, etc.

Spoke with a Verizon Rep the other day whose family member works in Tech support, and fields the calls coming in from iPhone 5 customers.
I was told that he has over 2 pages of known issues regarding the iPhone 5. I don't know how many issues are on each Page, but it must be a lot.
He mentioned that customers would be well advised to wait until some of these issues are resolved.
That most likely will never happen;
Customers waiting, unless it's on a line, in the rain, during a Hurricane, to purchase one or two, and Apple resolving all the issues.
I did a little research afterward, and see that there are some issues, to say the least.

I have a friend who talks so much crap about iPhone, yet got an iPod Touch a few weeks back and raves about how much he LOVES it.

We received a hand-me-down iPod touch, which went to the kids.
In drives on a recent family trip, they all wanted our Galaxy S III phones, instead of the Touch. When only one phone was available, they didn't even use the Touch and instead waited for the Samsung.

I am seriously underwhelmed by the Iphone 5

Eh, Apple this Samsung that. When Apple clears up most of the 5's issues, Apple fans and Android fans will still complain about each other. So long as there is competition we still keep on getting newer tech. The arguments on the different forums is funny as hell. Reminds me of the verbal battles ppl would have at the speed shop or the bar; Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge vs Foreign cars. Pissing contests are always good for a laugh when you sit on the side and watch the BS fly.

Haha, I like that explanation a lot better. I was looking at it from an iFan's POV I guess, thinking about how the same commercial shows lack of creativity = copying apple.
Which leads me to the question, if apple's supposed to be all about innovation, creativity, and new ideas, what's up with republishing the same device every year with only like three new features?

Dude, if you had the following that Apple does, that is all they need to release to get most of the people to upgrade. Their stock went thru the roof due to this phone coming out on Friday. Besides, only including a couple of features make it easy on them. I would be willing to bet my last dollar that there is an iPhone 6 already being tested with a few new features.
I wouldn't have one of their iPhones personally, but, I do own a MacBook Pro. It is a great machine but still overpriced IMHO.

Seems to me Apple spent very little time with their development team and too much time with their Lawyers teams.

Heck yeah, I am sure there is already an iPhone 6 with NFC and simultaneous voice and LTE on Sprint and Verizon. Apple does not need to do anything for the next year except collect money from the puppets and watch to see what other great things Android will come up with to put in the iPhone 6s.
Also, the reason no one can sue Apple and win is because then the jury and judges won't be able to buy their own iPhone 5 and why would they want to ruin their own lives like that.
I actually think Apple was really nice to their customers this time around. They could have sold millions of iPhones with only adding the new super thunder and lightning digital cable and the super mini sim card. Look at all the other features they threw in on top of that. You go on with your bad self Apple!
iPhone owners are some lucky SOB's! They can even see 5 days in their calendar app now. If that was me I would have saved that feature for the iPhone 6. Apple is way to nice.

Hah! They got the whole 4 inches of Apple's... generosity.

I am reading articles of how innacurate Apple's mapping program is, but they say it does look pretty.
Isn't that what Apple is all about, making things pretty but keeping them dumb?
Plus, isn't pretty and dumb something every guy wants in a phone? Now we know why Apple is so succesfully! They have found the key to success. Make a phone like a typical guy wants his women. lol
And then why do the women buy the phone, well becuase they can relate. haha

Thank you. I was watching the one for the S3 wondering if I was going crazy because that was one of the most lucid deja vu moments I think I've ever had.
Kinda sad almost, they're practically the same commercial.

It's not sad, It's genius... It can be red at so many levels it's not even funny!
First of all they are passing the message that one year later things haven't changed... same Apple fanatics, same Apple's company policies and strategies, same crappy ass backward products.... while Samsung keeps coming up with high quality and technologically advanced products...
Another message you can read if you will is that Samsung focuses on improving their phones instead of focusing on making new commercials.....
It is not usually a good idea to recycle a commercial... there are some exceptions... this is one.
Awesome

Not funny, but makes me wonder what the iphone 5 uses for glass...

i like this quote by her
"best part is since you already used these features on other devices for a few years now, you'll already know how to use them"
