| I'll consider Android before iPhone... Don't wanna touch a iPhone, basically because I HATE iTunes. And a friend of mine told me the iPhone has to sync every song anytime you want to load a new one. I'm a firm supporter of: click, click, click, drag, done. 4 steps.
Android looks cool to me, I think I'd have fun using their phone. I like Google and feel they make very good decisions even while people lambaste 'em, such as acquiring YT. The demo's look good, Google maps and street view OWNS. Good stuff Google. | |

"manually manage music" has been an option in itunes for quite a while, maybe since the beginning, not sure though. | |

| Re: I'll consider Android before iPhone... Yea, thats me. I don't like iTunes, simple as that. I'd rather connect my device, have it recognized as a rem.hdd, and drag shit into it. Create a quick lil folder, title it, drag over all my music from Frostwire... not hard at all. I guess the "smart playlist" thing your talking about works when you DL tracks off of iTunes... I just search Amazon for songs, sample em, and off I go to Frostwire. | |

| iPhone. iPhone exists and will be improved upon. It is all ready an amazing device. Misinformation about product behavior & features continues to put a small cramp in sales (maybe 1-2% of potential buyers). If people actually learned about a product instead of playing whisper down the lane maybe crap products wouldn't get made and good ones would come to the front.

| Excellent!!! Now, if only Ubuntu Mobile could have similar progress, the open source field can really heat up, and have a good chance of competing with iPhone. I mean, the iPhone is fine in itself, but Apple's repressive control over its software/hardware is just a shoddy practice. Even this SDK that they're releasing for the iPhone doesn't really give developers incentive to join. In reality, Apple can simply publish its API's openly, and let the devs freely exploit the power of the iPhone. But no, Steve's seeing even the applications as another revenue-generating unit that he wants to turn into an iTunes-style system.
I for one look forward to the day that mobile operating systems will be the way they are in computers, where you can choose what to run (i.e. Windows or Linux?). It'd be a win-win for the consumer if they could simply load an ISO image onto an SD card, and then set up the OS straight on the phone, from the SD card. | |

It would actually be even better is I could download music from iTunes while on the go like my brother does on his Mogul "with whatever is the name of the app that he uses". | |

| Re: iPhone. Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying Apple NEVER had a ad campaign where word of mouth was held a major roll? Or are you seriously deaf to all the Apple lovers talking this and that about how incredible everything Apple is?
"iPhone exists and will be improved upon. It is all ready an amazing device."
Misinformation is wrapping up an opinion as fact... | |
