I think it's okay that Apple has only basically on model of the iPhone. What I find more problematic is that in some countries (like the USA) is that the iPhone is tethered to a particular company...

GOOD POINT. This would be a better way to compare how iPhone is doing versus simply aggregating ALL mobile manufacturers together who use Android OS. That would be as stupid as aggregating the entire...

It's exactly why today Frankfurt is not all that exciting. It was bombed out in the war. But having said that, the city centre is still a nice stroll around if your'e the kind of person who likes...

I would agree with Phileas.

I agree with you that a lot of super geeks like the Android phone. The number one reason, it seems to me, is that one can tinker more with Android phone. That is not true with the iPhone unless you...
