[Q] Apparently I have an Iphone or maybe not

Anyone ever get your G2x confused with an Iphone?
I had a customer ask if my G2x was an Iphone. When I said no, it was an Android, he made the funny Droidddddd noise. Arghhhhhhh, identity crisis.

HAHA! Yeah I really hate Motorola for branding their line "droid" because it's caused so much confusion among the ill informed. It's way too confusing for the regular folk lol

DUUUDDDEEE!
my apartment-mate today thought my phone was the iphone.
And another time, when I told my classmate I didn't have an iphone, she said "oh you got a Droid."
and I just didn't say anything cause I didn't wanna sound like a nerd explaining Droid and Android

My old vibrant was mistaken as an iphone as well as my G2x. It's funny how little the general public knows about phones. When people ask if it is an iphone, I just laugh and say, dear GOD NO. You couldn't give me one of those pieces of crap. I like to customize, play with overclocking, and a bunch of other features the iphone won't let you do.

It's pretty understandable between a vibrant and iPhone 3g/s because they look so damn similar

don't blame the poor people, blame the TV news. If apple launches a piece of brick you can be sure there will be on every news channel and the radio.
Just wait and see when the first ifhone comes out with dual core, they are going to announce it like the most amazing thing ever. Even though there are dual core phones long time ago.
So basically for the general public the only smartphone that exist is the Ifone. That's why if they see it is a touch screen, then it must be an Ifhone

It is actually very good marketing and PR for Verizon to tag the "Droid" to Android. It reminds me of when Apple first released iPods and everyone was referring to all MP3 players as iPods....very smart on Apple's part.

Droid is actually owned by Lucasfilm and licenced to Vz/Moto for their phones. So every time you hear the Droooiiid sound George is making money. Now that's marketing genius!

Yea a sales guy said, "oh you got the new iPhone, how do you like it"
And I HATE when people say "Oh you got a Droid".
Even if people call Android "Droid", at least it is popular enough for people to know what it is.

That's pretty interesting, I had no idea! I always thought it was something Verizon came up with for their phones.
I cannot tell you how much it bothers me when people call my phone a Droid, the way I see it, if they're just gonna make incorrect assumptions then they deserve my 3 minute rant on the difference between android devices ^_^

wow finally people complaining about stuff that Ive *****ed about for so long. Its funny because people look at like I'm strange when I correct them by saying No its "android"
Its bothersome that everyone calls them droids... but I guess its the same with zamboni's you wouldnt know it but not all of the ice resurfacers are called zamboni's.

Is it a vacuum or a hoover, an adjustable wrench or a crescent, a toilet or a crapper, a microcomputer or a pc...ad nauseum?
Get over it - it's a "droid".

eh to each their own.. I dont own a droid though!

I could see you saying that out loud!!!!!

The droid stuff doesn't irk me as much as my eagerness to correct them does. Droid is a cool nickname for a phone, why should I care?
It is far worse for someone to think your phone is an iphone, which has happened to me also. It's one of the reasons I was contemplating switching to the sensation.

Why ICS is important to me.

Watch the video (In case you havent seen it yet!). In it Matias Duarte explains how the Android team is beginning to try and create a cohesive and unified atmosphere with the os at the most basic levels. I for one, am absolutely thrilled to see that they are finally going to be paying attention to design and aesthetics. Usability of the platform can also benefit from this immensely.
I am also tired of people saying "ICS isnt all that special". It really doesnt matter how "special" you think it should be. What matters is that its the next iteration of the os. We all want to have our devices updated and current. So wanting this on our devices has less to do with design in this sense, and a lot more to do with jumping on the wagon of unification. I would greatly prefer beautiful apps and ease of use over anything Gingerbread has offered us so far. Now I already know that a lot of the visual benefits of ICS come mainly from theming and such, but its profoundly more exciting when the theming itself is coming from the creators of Android and not some hard-to-find source in the app market.
Lastly, I would appreciate it if you guys could give your thoughts on this. Are you excited to see the new direction the Android team along with Matias, are going in? Do you feel that they are focusing on some rather important points in the software (usability, framework, aesthetics) or not? And of course please keep the flaming and crude/rude comments to yourselves. Thanks all for listening to my rant.

+1 internets I totally agree!

As nice as ICS's upgrade would be...it's not in Sammy's or AT&T interest
Sammy want's device sales and AT&T wants new/renewed contracts. By limiting ICS to 2012 devices, it provides incentive for 2010/2011 device owners to pony up for the new hotness with the new software.
Now before anyone wants to say, "WAIT WAIT, Apple..." save it. We're not talking about Apple here. Sammy is the OEM and they control what happens for the product line.
Sure you can wait for a dev to 'hopefully' get around to releasing an ICS port and yeah, it may be decent. That's your choice.
My upgrade plans begin in 2013 when ICS should have a few months in the wild and become more mature. By then all my smartphones will be eligible for upgrade discounts. I have no issue with AT&T's service as they allow me to keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I'd rather have ICS when it's grown up and not so much a baby. Also, fully functional on my device too would be nice.

Interviewer is huge fan of Apple I can see

The main reason i want ics is so i can impress my friends lol. It also just has features that i just like better. Im not going to die without it, but it would be nice with it. Im sorry guys who have to wait for their contract, both my parents have their upgrades up and both are fine if they get my infuse, and i get the note.

Joshua Topolsky! My man! He was the senior editor at Engadget.com before leaving to start theverge.com. He actually left his Apple iPhone after the 3gs I think. He soon thereafter bought a Nexus One. Which I think he still uses to this day. And touts it every chance he gets. He does however praise apple for incitefull design and craftsmanship. I mean he is in a business (tech blogging) that is notorious for praising the behemoth company(not that this is a good thing) But trust you me when I say he isn't afraid to drop the hammer on Apple when he voices his gripes over their products. I would venture to say that most blogging sites require their employees to work on Macbooks now though. It seems to me that they would rather choose a totalitarian system like the Macs because they are less prone to buginess and viruses. And when your in an industry that thrives off of having secure data on close deadlines and less vulnerabilities, Macs (imo) just do it better. I dont use a mac, never have, I have had an Iphone 3g one time for a while. But will probably never go back. Unless I become rich or something. You do have to admire their design principles though both physically and software wise. When you compare Apple's aesthetics to Androids up till now, its just no-contest which is more cohesive and well thought out.

So is Samsung.
Sent from my SGH-I897

funny thing is I used to frequent a guitar forum and a well known member was a Samsung senior cdma systems engineer and his phone was an iPhone. that was before cdma iPhones existed so he was obviously on att which is big in texas. he didn't boast about apple too much nor Samsung, basically the only things I remember that stood out was he refuted the idea that the apple products have Good audio. said the newer apple products are not as good as the older ones and suffered from clipping (overdrive basically) and boasted the galaxy s in that area. but when it came down to it he was a fan of ios for the accessories and high quality audio software (garage band for the ipad) and got an ipad 2.

i always have an upgrade....(4 lines=leverage) .. but i will not purchase another phone until ICS is available, especially because of updates. i want the note..but if no ics pre-installed..i aint buying.. i almost went to verizon for the nexus but they dont have good coverage where i travel

ICS should be important to everyone. Even if only for the principle of it.

He will probably answer in this thread lol but he is. One of the leads with the infuse cm7 team. He has been busy with other stuff though (carpantry). He is around. Ics will come someday hopefully...

even though some people will drop their Infuse's this Spring, Im really hoping some devs will still try to bring over ICS for the people who want to feel out the year on devices. I wish I wasnt so disorganized, otherwise i might actually have the capacity to learn how to develop. =/

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.

Note: The EVO View nor HTC Flyer will NOT Get ICS nor JB so don't even bother...

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.

Haha, well, taste of own medicine I suppose? But really this needs to stop, it's especially against Google's outlook. Two wrongs don't make a right... Just makes everything even worse than before.
I'm hoping this is to make an example, not to actually get this stuff banned, cause we should be honouring the people who pioneered this whole thing. I mean doesn't taking somebody's 'idea', running with it and then crushing them with it kind of even more douchey than what Apple have been doing lately?
It's the perfect counterclaim though, it could get the whole thing thrown out of court, which would be nice.

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?"

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!

Ah yes. The meat-head claiming it was lighter as he pulled his out with what looked like a nice rugged plastic case on it. Way to be perceptive...good game.

I'm convinced that while the camera may add ten pounds it removes about 30 IQ points.

Lol, anyone saw this?

Looks like Samsung is still a little butt hurt after the court decision. No hard feelings, eh?

They've been running anti-apple stuff way before the court stuff even happened. I think it's just in response to the iphone 5 release like the guy from cnet said. I REALLY doubt samsung is too hurt over this court crap. They'll just appeal it anyways...

Samsung is really making some hilarious ads. I'd not want to be seen with an iPhone, LOL! Check this out:

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!
