Palm advantage over Apple ∞%]]>Jun 21st 2009 12:11AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/
Competition is something that is better for us all. So I want to see a handful of mobile OS rather than one.

While the iPhone is faster, I find it interesting that 1.0 software on 1.0 hardware can match up even that equally to 3.0 hardware with 3.0 software. I think this speaks volumes about the potential of the Pre, given the likelihood of future optimization. And this will likely spur further optimization of the iPhone software as well. So it's a win/win, regardless of which camp you support.]]>Jun 21st 2009 10:57AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/
Not to mention the complete fallacy of comparing things in percentage terms that you've already mentioned. Its the same cheap trick that dodgy TV doctors use to sell their products. When you say 21% it sounds somewhat impressive, but when you express it realistically, say about ~1 second, its not that impressive really. A bit like a small company that says its experiences a 1000% increase in sales, when really it means it sold 1 product last time and 1000 this time. Not great.]]>Jun 21st 2009 10:11AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/Jun 21st 2009 1:43AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/Oh here it is:

costs well over $700 *more* in monthly fees over a 2-year contract than the comparable plan on the Pre!!

Palm along with all other mobile phone manufacturers where caught resting on their shabby laurels, ripping consumers off with shabby operating system and outdated UI's. Then the iPhone is released and a million clones pop up, some months and years later.

So much hate when really you should be thanking Apple for bringing mobile devices up to spec and up to date. ]]>Jun 23rd 2009 6:11AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/20/iphone-3g-s-and-pre-head-to-head-benchmarks-iphone-barely-wins/

LG was out before the iPhone. So what?

2 years on and which of those phones made the the biggest impact on the mobile phone industry? The iPhone OS has had the most influence on other manufacturers 'look and feel' including LGs.

So you didn't fix my statement at all.]]>Jun 26th 2009 8:05AM
