MT4GS to go EOL in may

sauce: http://www.tmonews.com/2012/03/new-...t-shows-htc-amaze-4g-end-of-life-as-may-2012/
pretty sad to see a phone reach EOL in less than a year.
this makes the probability of an official ICS update even slimmer

The HTC Amaze, Sensation 4G, and Doubleshot have been EOL for a while. I guess we just have a set date.

*sigh* I don't know why t mobile insists on dogging the mytouch line. The mt3g was high end for its time, same with the mt4g and mt4gs. Now its like they've dropped them down to bottom of the barrel phones. Hate to say it, but I have seriously been considering the gs2.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

The release might actually be delayed - but Samsung is doing a simultaneous launch with 70+ countries or something like that I think. .

Last what I heard of it was that Samsung plans to release the GS3 right before the London Olympics in July so they can promote the hell out of it during the Olympics

As long as it is out before father's day! Hopefully t mobile has a promo like they did last year, where every smart phone was free on father's day. Hopefully lol.

The SG3 wont have a keyboard will it?

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

Yea I saw the specs on the new mytouch made by hanwei man 5 mp camera 720 recording ... yuck ... I think ill stay with my mt4gs ... I like it alot . So until the next big thing i doubt ill get rid of it

This thread needs to go EOL

1 thing I will give a plus to is the new myTouch has a 4" screen which is nice. But personally I would love the One S with a qwerty.

Hope the link works. In before this is old news noob search first.
Tldr: android holds 51% of all smart phones in use. Apple 30%

I feel like this 'majority' share type story has been published over and over.
Also one company with 30% of market share probably is > than many companies with 51%. Maybe a big one like Samsung has 30% of that 51%?

If other companies were allowed to release ios devices I dony doubt the number being higher. I guess iPhone users were going around saying iPhone has sold more numbers and theres more iPhones being used than and how android has slowed down in sales due to the new iPhone.
It was more an article that says android is more popular than iPhone in terms of the number of users than anything.

Its because android runs on so many price brackets its available to everyone from low end to way above anything iPhone could ever be android is a platform for everyone and I love it that way

I wonder if that guy had both a Lumina and an iPhone in his ass to assist typing that article.

Lots of different stories on this today, but beyond the Android dominance is Samsung kicking ass in general.

Not far behind Apple, and when you factor in that at least 26% of the parts used in making iPhones are made by Samsung, guess who's really at the top...
Love Sammy. May the ass kicking continue!

How the world turns. I remember when i see samsung products at kmart as the el cheapo brand 15 years ago. And now they are bigger than Sony.

true all true. If you look at the big picture, iPhone has integrated most media devices to work cohesively, syncing all with that wretched iTunes. Samsung has gone a drop further and integrated Android or Android compatible software into everything they sell: washer/dryer, fridge, camera, windows (the kind you look through), phones, tablets, printers, etc. Samsung wants to be a powerhouse, quite literally. I really do think this step is a well thought out program.

Man, I hate itunes! Worst thing, ever!

Apple is doing great business. Brainwash users to believe that cheaper smaller screens is what they want and that they should pay a premium price. And that not having Flash, external memory card slot is something in their best interest. Never mind the fact that people still use flash on their computer browsers on the average a dozen times a day. And if they had a memory card slot, they would probably have a memory card in there. Point out something Apple is doing to rip off their customers, and the customers who are being taken advantage of are on the side of Apple.
How hard can Apple squeeze the teets of their users until they say uncle?

Actually I gotta thank apple for not including flash. It really is finally dying to html5 and that is a GREAT thing. I don't think people realize how many flash like elements are not actually flash anymore. HTML5 is all over the place now. Apple and facebook have been the main reason for flash to die
I do find it funny that most of your issues with iPhones are now the "big thing" with newer androids.

Ok samsung has tons of different phone but they still kicking ass right now. And when the S3 come out sale will probably explode... same thing for the next iphone ... lets see how it goes.

Apple is 1 company, android is a ****load of companies, realistically they should be doing better than one company anyways.
What we need is a good profit graph that shows what platform is actually generating money because that's the one which will be around the longest.

Maybe you mean iOS versus android. But to compare HTC Samsung, Motorola, lg, etc, I think all those companies combined will outweigh apple in sales dramatically. So how do you really measure apple versus android in sales?

Percentage of retention would probably be the most accurate mark of who is doing best. How many Droid users stay on Droid and how many switch to iPhone. And same on the other side. Higher retention is really who is winning. I know about a year and a half ago an article I read said at the time apple had a higher rentention than Droid.

It kinda sucks how much they're undercutting their iPhone 4 buyers. No siri AND NOW no navigation.
I mean, we usually don't get updates at all, but most of these features were already available on froyo and gingerbread.

For Apple, it's just not labeled fragmentation. Simply giving out watered down "updates" instead is ok
At least if/when we get a new OS to install we get all the features working. Not some half assed update like Apple is pushing out
And then people wonder why I'm an Android fanboy. How Apple does things and still makes serious $$$ is completely beyond me. And I find it outrageous that people still prefer them when android is CLEARLY better

You never have to pay, not at all. That's the whole flow of Jailbreaking. Even the webhost is a 100% free, with no Ads host. If I ever had to pay to Jailbreak I knew it was 100% BS. Some claimed to have the latest JB, but it wouldn't be a "Jailbreak". Either a ****lyfft instal of Cydia, with no substrate add on's. Or it'd be a waiting list thing for an available "JB server". Then you'd just wait until the JB team released it, and the server would "Open". Paying 50+ bucks for freeware.
Also, iPhone 4s 5.1.1 has an Untethered Jailbreak. It just came out, I still think only the 1st gen iPad has a Jailbreak too.

"People" (the dumb 70-80% of population) don't want better, they want WHAT THEY SEE ON TV (aka what they have been brainwashed to buy).
Better advertised devices always sell better. It has been proven long time ago before tv existed.
An observation we have "conducted" not long ago in my personal circle of friends and coworkers:
none of those who don't watch TV have any iCrap, while about half of those who watch TV regularily have chosen iFail and other crApple products.

Also unattractive cousin you want to throw in the basement. I mean what.

Although Android is on the climb, I agree that bragging now is a little premature. Anyone who is anyone knows the iPhone 5 is coming out most likely later this month. Very few people are buying the 4S knowing that. Bragging about a device that's only a few months old vs a phone most people know is done as the flagship for Apple this month is a little out there.

I dislike apple like the rest of you but I don't see how this is possible. You want me to belive that the S3 has sold more devices than the 4S when the IP4S has been on the market 8 months longer?
Is the article misleading. Did Samsung sell more S3's from Launch till now than apple did during the same 2 months?
It doesn't add up. Just saying!

Easy tiger... this is what happens the month before a launch. People always hold off and other companies try to push their stuff out in the summer to lock in customers. I'm a big fan of the S3. Unfortunately most people are sheep when it comes to Apple.

I dont wanna be that guy that craps on everyones happy (because trust me I love this news) but is one possibility for this turn out because people are holding out on buying the IPhone in august because they know the 5 is coming out?

You guys do realize that no normal person with any common sense at all would buy an iPhone 4S right now with the new 5 coming out, right?
I hate to rain on your parade, but this is nothing to celebrate about.

We know this but no other phone has done this to crapple.so if this is short lived so what...we all know even with the iPhone 5 the S3 is still better.

meh. Apple fans will tout the 5 as the best phone ever. It'll have a retina display, and just saying retina display is cool. I'm sure it'll be a great product with a bunch of cool features that are perfectly fine for the average user and it will win the ease of use battle. We'll see what the hardware is, but I'm guessing it'll be inferior to the S3 but good enough.
If for nothing else I hate Iphones for the control they have over what you do with YOUR phone. want to add software that's not approved by Apple? Sorry. Want to add a song that was emailed to you? Sorry. That list goes on & on. On the other hand I'll admit that they make a great product that is very user friendly. The IP5 will outsell the GS3 in the last quarter of this year, probably by a lot.

[DISCUSSION] Ipad mini copied Nexus 7

OK so i have a nexus 7 and lately i have been noticing how much
the iPad mini looks basically exactly the same just with a added
button. Now we all know android had the first 7 inch tablet (dell streak 7)
and now suddenly apple has a idea to make a 7 inch tablet??
and of course the sneaky guys at apple made sure to make it a little
bigger to avoid a lawsuit but my theory still stands that apple has copied
the nexus 7. i mean its not like apple hasn't been accused of this in
the past when they were accused of stealing the iPhone design from Sony
so is apple really that pathetic that they will steal an idea then patent it?
see attachments for picture comparisons and tell me what you think

Apple is fine. They didn't copy anything. I'd rather have the iPad mini. It has a back camera and can play games smoother. Ikr

Then why be on a site dedicated to android development if your a crapple fan
im what Willis was talking about

Grow up its a free world we do as we please, apple = awesome
Android = awesome. This is the silliest topic I've ever read, how is anything copying when wed have a lawsuit for copyright infringement, apple aren't known for immitating, only making things well!

Don't really care. I think it's pretty widely known that Apple didn't invent anything. "Great artists steal" has always been the company's mantra. Way I see it, if people want to pay twice as much or more for last year's tech in a stylish enclosure with a fruit logo on the back, that's fine. I'm all for choice.
The Android community doesn't have anything to lose from Apple taking our sloppy seconds and marking it up 200% or more. Conversely, Android is a threat to Apple -- newer, faster tech, sold for half the price of their junk, or less. That's why Steve Jobs was willing to go "thermonuclear war". Jobs wanted/Apple wants to control the development at mobile hardware, and keep the tech evolution to a much slower pace, to maximize profits. And they're losing, slowly but surely. The latest iPhone hasn't been a high-end device for years, since the 4 or maybe as far back as the 3GS. They just figured out how to get a widescreen display on a mobile device, and it's not even 720p. First-generation Android phones had widescreen. With the sole exception of the case (aluminum and glass IS nice), an iPhone is like a Chinese knockoff of any given top-shelf Android (S3 or DNA, .e.g.).
We have nothing to worry about.

There were 7" tablets long before the Nexus 7. I believe the Galaxy Tab was the first 7" tablet with Google Play access. The iPad Mini looks like the 10" iPad, so I don't think you can say they copied someone else.
What they did copy though was the 7" tablet idea. The late Steve Jobs said 7" tablets would never do well, and the fact that Apple has now put out a 7" tablet is a big indicator that they are now a follower and not an innovator. Although IMO the last innovation they had was the original iPhone. Over 5 years later and that UI looks just as old and outdated as the Luna blue XP theme.

but they said they didn't copy the 7" tablet idea because it's actually 7.9". Couldn't agree more about the unchanged UI over the year. innovation plz.

thats 100% correct, Rottan Apple we"re the ones that said the 7" devices will never sell, and look at them now, jumpimg on the band wagon looking real despret.. How can ppl pay for a device that comes with no flash player capabilitys, with android you download any latest movie (thats not even out on DVD mind you) thats in 1080p quality and in 10mnts your watching it on you MX player, E Z as that, but with apple your paying $5 to rent it.. lol. highway robbery, one thing is try though, crapples graphics are great. thats all they get from me,I LOVE AND WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT ANDROID..!!!!!! WITH THEM SINCE DAY ONE WITH MY G1, AND NOW ROCKING MY NEXUS 7 3G....
MY DEVICE ISNT TRULY MINE TILL I VOID THE WARRENTY... ONE LOVE, LETS KEEP FLASHING..!!!!
