Hmm...the G1 is 5th in the U.S. market....looks like Trent is another clueless Apple fanboy. Hell I don't own an Android set, but I know that a lot of people have them. I'm glad his app was rejected, NIN music is trash anyway.]]>May 4th 2009 1:18PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 6th 2009 11:09AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 11:14AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 6:54AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
Where have you been? Trent has been giving away his music for free on a massive scale, recently. He has picked up the banner for the independent musician and has been embracing the digital world while rejecting the industry. ]]>May 4th 2009 9:52PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 7:15AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 7:30AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 8:40AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 11:07AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/

Those of you who took personal offense to his OS rant are fucking clowns.]]>May 4th 2009 10:21AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 11:11AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 9:49AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/Internet: 1.

Now why should we even care? Because Trent isn't just some guy, he's a guy who garners the attention of the media. So when he says it people listen, and a bunch of his little followers will agree. Now you have more than just one guy shitting on what you like. While this may still sound silly, again, people identify with their phones and when you identify with something you want to protect it.]]>May 4th 2009 11:45AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
I agree completely with your statements but would like to add that while I would not care what he thought of my mobile OS platform if I used a different one, being a fan of his and him liking the mobile platform I DO use brings me a momentary sense of pride. "I like something one of my idols likes? I must be almost as cool as him!"

Ok, I didn't actually think that, but it's along those lines of why people get upset and excited about such comments.]]>May 6th 2009 11:15AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 10:14AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
WinMo = wife whereas Iphone = mistress]]>May 4th 2009 11:28AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/

Loved my Dash and love my G1

Do I think he is an AppleFanBoi? Yup and coming from Mr. CounterCulture that just cracks me up. I am not trading in my Android for an iPhone anytime soon. The iPhone is not what I wanted plus then I would be just another "jerk with an iPhone" If Trent wanted to be a rebel he would use Linux and carry a G1 "So say we all!!"

Truth be told if I was him and I could carry an iPhone too. With his money who cares if it works for a week or ten years? Nothing make me laugh harder than seeing someone poor iPhone user with a shattered LCD trying to send a text message on the while walking or the best "Yea my iPhone's battery is dead. Do you have a charger?"

Will I buy his CD? Laughable. Will I pay to see him in concert? Sure.

Thanks for the giggle Trent, now get back to making music and please leave the geek stuff to the geeks.]]>May 4th 2009 12:50PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
I honestly couldn't care less about the iPhone. If you were to take away the flashy UI it would be far inferior to most of the other smartphones out there on the market. Most Symbian, WinMo, Android and Blackberry phones are far more capable devices when you look at their feature sets.]]>May 4th 2009 8:34PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 3:43PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
Its funny to see people offended by what he said. If you don't like it, ignore him. That's what I'm going to do. I hate the iPhone (and I've had one) and I love my G1. I'm still not going to listen to his music and I'm still going to think he's a tool. Touting his horribly biased opinion as fact is another reason why nobody should take him seriously. Though he says so much good, its muddled in biased crap. Pathetic so many people hang onto his every word... ]]>May 4th 2009 4:08PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/May 4th 2009 6:46PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/04/trent-reznor-rips-apple-summarizes-current-smartphone-oses/
There isn't much variation between their systems, so they don't need to do much to get OSX or the iPhone OS to run smoothly on all their systems. Windows, however, has to account for the several thousands of hardware combinations available, which is a recipe for disaster and bloating.

However, all is not peachy in Appleland. They use the same cheap hardware you'll find in PC equivalents prices several hundred dollars less. And you'll pay dearly to insure your already costly purchase. I had a Macbook that within 1 year had the video go bad, optical drive, and finally the trackpad and keyboard. I sold it on eBay and bought a Gateway that is twice as capable as the Macbook was. Oh, and btw, I have OSx installed on it and it works like a charm.
