Android is not just software, it's a platform. If the hardware is low-quality, that's still an Android issue.

@tadfisher, looks like there are way more crappy Android phones out there than high quality ones.

No it's a perfectly valid comparison. it's like saying cars made in Detroit fail more often than cars made by BMW. Android is widely considered as a low-quality OS running on low-quality hardware. Android's strength (ubiquity) is also its w

Why is he not a "virtuoso"? Bcause you said so? And Why cant i have it both ways? And that staement was meant for Bill Gates, but if you were insulted then I guess you're guilty.

Steve is not technically limited. Just because he had limited formal education and training dosn't mean he's technically limited. That's just how insecure people describe him so they can feel better about themselves.

it's even scarier to think what the millions of artists, entrepreneurs, etc. who Steve inspired will accomplish in the future. Right now there's someone working on the next billion dollar start-up in his garage that's going to blow us all a

Bill Gates is like Joe Satriani. Satch is one of the most technically gifted guitarist of all time. Hes a master at all the complicated alternate picking and shredding. But his music absolutely sucks. Steve Jobs is Eddie Van Halen. A tortur

I agree. HP's hardware business is dragging down its stock price. this is one of the reasons why IBM sold off its PC division to Lenovo. Services and software usually provide a return on invested capital of 30 percent or more, compared to 1

The iPad will dominate the tablet market like the iPod did to the mp3 player market. "Cheap plentiful shit will eventually overtake high quality products" You're right about this one.

the iPhone 3GS is better than Nexus one because it (can) runs iOS 5. your Nexus One is stuck running an old OS.

Its a tried and true strategy if there wasnt a better strategy. Amazon doesnt need to create their own hardware. They are doing just fine selling Ebooks via their iPad and android apps. Low overhead, more profit. Selling their own hardware
