Like ppl are proud of their fav sports team.....same thing applies here. At least with this you actually have it in your possession.
Last time I checked Apple started this by coming after HTC. HTC just showed they had guts and came right back at Apple.
Well I think most ppl compare these 2 cuz this is the latest "iPhone killer". It happens with any "iPhone killer". The funny thing this time the iPhone has real competition.
Not really though, but regardless, you look like an immature jackass either way.
I don't really care about who started it. In fact, that probably makes it worse, since Apple probably had a legitimate suit and HTC just wants to save face.
Right, but comparing it to another device causes severe limitations in creativity. One of the reasons why the iPhone is so successful is because it was so innovative, while new phones still struggle to catch up. LG and Blackberry still don't have viable competition for the iPhone. So you really need to look at it objectively; do you want a device that can do everything the iPhone can? Or do you want something that can do more? By holding the iPhone as the standard all you are doing it coercing companies into mimicking the features found on that device, rather than original innovations.
