For those who are keeping tab on the latest battle between the two heavy weights of the mobile industry,
Here are the closing arguments from yesterday which sound like something straight out of a boston legal episode.

The Apple vs Samsung thread is right underneath this one. Please post in there instead.

Hurrah! I bought almost all of these on the spot. Think I'll leave the giant data files on the big boys for another day and play Pocket League Story first.
In the UK, I just refreshed the offers page from the advert on the Market front page (at 8:50pm) and World of Goo just appeared for 62p (inc tax).
Are different titles visible depending on country?
Mine in the UK appear to be as follows (minus the rubbish ones):
World of Goo
Shadowgun
Osmos (already owned, at this price you would be mental not to)
TuneIn Radio Pro
Sprinkle
Dead Space
Soundhound
They Need to be Fed
Flick Golf Extreme
NFL Flick Quarterback
Paper Camera
Zookeeper DX
Pocket League Story (All Kairosoft games are crack-like addictive)
Swiftkey X
Quell Reflect
Camera Zoom FX
Edit: Doh, N.O.V.A. 2 isn't available. Trying to convince google I have a GSII or something so I can buy it and get it when updated for the Note.
Edit 2: Aargh, build.prop hacking required. Too rich for my blood.
Not sure about different titles per country, I'm in the UK and world of goo was in the list when I posted this "heads up".
In any case I am delighted. A fiver for... possibly months worth of entertainment. Everyone crows about the excellent Steam sales but they always end up costing me something like fifty. For the very very ultra cautious buyer I can heartily recommend Osmos, it has an atmosphere and a smoothness that really shows off the device.
Sorry guys but... Doesn't "Market" exist anymore? I updated to Play Store and is that the new market?

Obviously, he is the 1%
He still uses a iPhone. It's his choice, he lives a free and easy life now.

That is a completely false statement. The thing that Woz loves more is barbecue restaurants. If you follow him, almost 100% of his foursquare checks come from these places.

Woz is a great man. He truly was the genius behind Apple. I can't stand Jobs but I totally admire Woz.

Without Woz (and after him, PARC, Jonathan Ive, Scott Forstall, etc), there would be no Apple, true. Without Jobs, Apple wouldn't be Apple, though. We saw how the company foundered, marginalized and distracted, when not under his leadership. (Fifteen hundred different models of indistinguishable Performa/LC/PowerMac models; overpriced underperforming Newtons; rebadged Canon printers; OpenDoc; Taligent/Pink/Copland ...)
I know Woz (not well, but I have met him in person (through John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper, back when The Cap'n was flinging 3.5" disks of PGP around raves). I love Woz. I was an Apple IIe/IIgs user back in the day. But Woz' contributions were of a day. All too quickly, the bare-metal hacks of elegance Woz excelled at -- nybble disk reading routines with 1:1 interleave; tricky hi-res NTSC video output -- they just weren't necessary anymore.
I think it's telling that Jobs went on to usher into the world standard-setting new gadgets until his dying days, whereas Woz tried to launch a universal remote control, put together some jam sessions, and then basically retired to teach middle school kids and play around on his Segway and other new gadgets -- all of them engineered by other people.

Jobs was a charismatic mascot who used his companies perceived underdog status, marketing acumen and relationship with mass media providers to generate massive amounts of undeserved hype for his average at best products.
The biggest standards set by apple while Jobs was in charge was patent trolling and
frivolous lawsuits.
Good on Woz for not being a fanboi.
Hi Everyone,
This is Daryl J Hudson III. I am confused a bit in choosing the best business phone as I have a few already in mind such as Iphone, Windows Phone, Samsung etc...Can you guys help me solve this problem? Which one should I go for?
Thanks,
Daryl J Hudson III
Mention your budget, your requirements and the other stuff.. No one can say a thing without those.
BTW, nice naming of the thread xD
Daryl J Hudson III spammer and indicted by SEC for fraud
Daryl J Hudson III Ex-SEC Attorney Hudson Pleads Not Guilty to Wire Fraud
Hudson, who is chairman and chief executive officer of Hampden Kent Group LLC, was arraigned yesterday in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was indicted May 23 and faces as long as 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine on each charge if convicted.
AFAIK, smartphones (or any kind of cellphones) are completely banned in US prisons So, you should wait for a little... 30 years is a huge time period for the cell and microelectronics industries - probably, you'll get 3D stereoscopic video brain-embedded eyePhone 30s at that time! :laugh:

I hate to have to say this but the majority of people who would actively object to apple are not going to be apple customers and so apple won't take any notice.
I disaprove of their tactics, suing rather than offering a licence, it is done simply to eliminate android as competition but it is also a very effective way to take out competition in general.
Nexus 7 will be an apple target, especially if an ipad mini is released, it is all about control. You are right but your basically calling any passionate android fans to action and they are the very people who apple will listen to the least

Hope this dirty game of Apple ends, finally. I'm sick of this dirty game, just because you don't have a ultimate phone like Galaxy S series/Nexus, Apple wants it out of the market, so they can raise the price and sell more of their crap.
Just want to share this...
