Ozzie Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) What does everyone think Bit different to Windows versus Mac here at least Phew Edited July 29, 2011 by Ozzie Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm hoping HP's WebOS gains more OS market share. It's a good OS. If we can have three or more quality vendors it should make for a lot of innovation. With a 28% handset market share, Apple is the biggest smartphone maker and odds are it will probably stay that way. All the more interesting when you consider they do this with just one smartphone a year at the moment. But the elephant in the room is the iPad. Pretty much no one is able to compete with it at the moment. One factor probably being that they can't rely on mobile phone networks to subsidise their offerings and dupe people into thinking they're cheap, like they have in the smartphone sector.

D Wood Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ozzie, dear boy: There are enough anti Apple trolls on Mac websites, I'm not interested in reading any of them here - let's keep the discussion relevant to Vectorworks and the platforms it can run on. Quote Link to comment

VincentCuclair Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've always enjoyed these discussions in the media and elsewhere, ever since the iPhone was introduced (and took the world by storm) a new term/concept suddenly appeared 'iPhone killer'. I genuinely would like to see a smart phone (not coming from Apple) that actually surpasses the iPhone in innovation, user friendliness etc., however as long as this concept 'iPhone killer' keeps appearing it means someone is trying to play catch up or trying to measure up to the iPhone. The day a smart phone appears that really is 'better' there will be no need to make any comparisons to the iPhone........... Quote Link to comment
D Wood Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Vincent You're absolutely right, and it is because the companies that are playing catch up regard design as just another department, ranking down in the company hierarchy with stores and stationery. Only when a company is primarily driven by design and designers can it deliver innovation and real invention, whether it's phones, computers, software or even marketing. Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 True enough user experience must be right up there as a prerequisite to good design as an example an image from my web site's Flash Photo Gallery screen capture from my Samsung Galaxy S2 Quote Link to comment
John Gr Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hi there I signed up a new plan that provided me with a samsung Galaxy S2. I had a play for a couple of days. Ended up putting it back in its box and sold it. I prefer my Iphone 3gs any day. john Quote Link to comment
