He's keeping his iPhone... yes... but the big issue here is that the
author is actively waiting for something other than the Apple/AT&T
combo punch and has very little keeping him from switching.

He doesn't want his iPhone anymore... he wants something better.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/11/no-droid-for-me/

Could there be a mass iPhone exodus since Droid is so close to
downright outclassing the iPhone?

I think Apple investors need to look at this article and realize that
the arguments for owning an iPhone are getting very very weak.

This author's reasons are:

1. Hardware keyboard isn't good enough
2. A little heavier that the iPhone due to the hardware keyboard
3. Needs two key Apps that he can't live without.

So, if a keyboardless droid comes out with those two Apps, he's
switching. How long until others do the same?

Remember that Apple probably won't have another iPhone until July 2010
and the only things they can do to it are increase the battery life,
up performance, increase storage space, up the camera to 5MP, add a
flash, and add a forward-facing camera for 3G iChat. The forward-
facing camera is VERY unlikely since AT&T's network is already
struggling with current usage.

Don't forget about the sleeping giant, Microsoft. Windows Mobile 7 has
a huge team that has been working very hard to produce something that
will bury everything in it's path and MS is being very very quiet
about it.

Apple already has a rumored price drop in the works because of the
Droid threat... this could be a big problem for you guys.

Think Apple can do something to keep people away from Droid?

Discuss!

Yep, keep the iphone on the market- that will solve the problem of
keeping people away from the droid, the microslop phone, the zoon, and
anything else that comes along....

Apple doesn't have to do anything until Verizon proves that it has
legitimate data network. You will be sadly surprised to find that
Verizon's data network is every bit as hamstrung as AT&T's. And
Verizon is the big guy. Meaning that they will ignore consumer
complaints about the network, continue to market themselves into a
corner, and put off LTE until it's too late. There's a roadmap for
that... And it's not good.

Steve Jobs will hit the tattoo parlor twice in 2010. One for a MSFT
logo sometime in May, the other for a Verizon logo just before the
holidays next year. It'll be sad to see the iconic IBM logo displayed
next to the corporate committee-designed logos for MSFT and VZ. It'll
disturb the fastidious Mr. Jobs.

Mattie reminds me of Linus in "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"

Think about it.

Yes, but as you recall, in "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"
Linus went around telling everybody how great the non-existant Great
Pumpkin was, everybody laughed, made fun of him, and he was thoroughly
disappointed in the end.

Disscussion of Windows Mobile 7

This huge team you talk about. Isn't that the same team that caused
the Sidekick outage? The folks that said they lost all the data. Then
they said they found it, but it would take a while to restore. That
was after the folks from Sun and Oracle came in to bail them out.
People are still waiting.

Then you talk about how quiet Microsoft is. You really need to read up
on Roz Ho and project Pink. Take the Zune and mix it with Windows
Mobile, and what do you get? Infighting. So start a new group, mix in
the Danger acquisition (Sidekick), and call the project, Pink. Fast
forward to this:

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/10/09/exclusive_pink_danger_l...

BTW, it's now Windows Phone, not Windows Mobile.

True, very true- Perhaps mattie is like, ummm, big, round headed
charlie brown- too stupid to realize the problem that lucy (monkey-
ball ballmer) is NEVER going to let him kick the football (enjoy
computing) as long as he remains enslaved and enamored with kneeling
at the knees of his darling ballmer-boi!!

little mattie, it's called a "straw dog" argument when you pose as the
entire aapl r&d department and say what they won't do, won't be able
to do, what's likely and unlikely, etc- if I thought for one minute
you had the capacity to be right about this, I'd certainly listen- but
your pumping endlessly of wondoze7, the zoon, the joys of microslop,
your undying love for that wanker ballmer, etc all tell me that you
are dumber than a box of hair- therefore, I strongly suspect your
predictions about aapl and the iphone are as valid as your praise of
microjunk.... which is to say, you are a poser, a fake, a troll, and a
moron!

In the mind of little fudding mattie, they already have!! But, on the
other hand, he does kneel at the knees of ballmer and spend all his
time learning the steps of the monkey dance.....
