Apple Confirms Next iPhone Event for October 4

[citation][nom]jryan388[/nom]Sure maybe you can make a case for individual phones not being copycats, but the first true smartphone was the iphone. Sales numbers speak for themselves.[/citation]

Firstly: visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone for some facts. I know iReality is a little blurry through those iRose tinted glasses.
Secondly: Sales numbers prove nothing, all people do somethings that are not in their best interests, i know i do.

[quoteMaybe they should change the name of this site to iTom's

Somebody's taking major ad money from Apple, unless Tom's denies it .....[/quote]

Yeah, i stopped going to gizmodo because the wash of apple jism was getting suffocating, the articles are slightly more impartial here, though the one on cases for the unreleased iphone was a shocker.

These sites have i think forgotten what innovation really means, it certainly is not making something look pretty, or making it easier to use, that's just refinement. I've been around since the first PC's now they were innovative but there was less media hype then too, admittedly no interwebs and tech came in magazines on paper! who'd believe that?

you can say that but apple missed the first smart phone bus by about 15 years

[citation][nom]tmshdw[/nom]I'm not!! Because I don't buy copy-cat phones the sheeple buy!!
I'll buy the phone that set the market standard that is now copied by all!![/citation]
i like how you call the android phones the copy-cat, that's why all these 'new' features that are coming for IOS5 are just copied from android

Who is copying who?
8mp camera? Been around for 3 years
Dual core CPU maybe? Already been done
Bigger screen? Every other phone for the last 2 years
In white? Still not innovating, keep clutching at straws
...
Err, because Steve Jobs says if I don't buy it a kitten will die? Now you are starting to "think differant"

[citation][nom]xbeater[/nom]Sure they look alike a small bit, however, aside from that, they are entirely different phones[/citation]
Some people say I look a bit like Elvis
...
In the fact that we both have 2 legs and a head
...
That is the same reality that Apple lives in with it's legal comparison of the Galaxy to the iPhone

Looks like Al Gore got something right for a change.

If you mean the first true smartphone made by Apple, then yes it's the iPhone. Ever heard of the Palm Treo or Blackberry? Heck if you want to yell copycat, then fyi the iPhone is just an improved version of every PDA and smartphone that has existed before it.

Well, we'll see on Oct.4 if all this hype and talk was worth it.

[citation][nom]Hellbound[/nom]I'm getting a Galaxy S2. Up yours Apple!!![/citation]
I'm getting a DROID PRIME.

I still see the same debates at every new Iphone/Ipad/Ijunk released. Sad that some people still find it to be T3H B3ST PH0N3 EV3R !!

Congratulations for being loyal.
Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky Heart" went to no. 1 in the charts. Sales numbers speak for themselves.

Stop thinking Apple invented everything...
They just marketed it well...

Just think of the poor foxconn chineese employees that live (and die) in cages so your iStuff is $5 cheaper.

ex: "MP3"
-MP3 format released in 1993
-too hungry for realtime on PC until mid 90's
-MP3 player riopmp300 end of 1998
-first iPod 3 years latter at end of 2001

ex: "SMARTPHONE"
-ericson r380 wifi+camera+touch screen in 2000
-Nokia 92xx communicator in 2000 and 9500 in 2004
-PalmOS Treo in 2002
-first iPhone was released many years later mid 2007

ex: "Tabblet"
-Microsoft Tablet PC concept presented by Microsoft in 2001
-iPad in mid 2010...
