I remember a crazy survey being published about a month ago about how iPhone sells, but more people WANT Android. In that sense its true, but only because there are so many different Android devices to choose from. So of course if you combine 100 different Android phones to 1 device, that would be true. But that’s not what this article is about. When an Android device is released, it maintains momentum and public hype for about 1-2 weeks. After then, no one cares anymore and there is yet another Android device that does the exact same thing as the last 20 that were released in the same quarter. Manufactures like LG, Samsung, HTC, and Motorola, are constantly putting out new devices and comparing it to Apple’s successful iPhone. This cause for more work, time, and money for them. Meanwhile, Apple is sitting back laughing because their 2 your old phone is still outselling ANY android phone from Free to $250. For a company to not have to think about redesigning anything for 2 years and still make huge profit… Other phone manufactures could only DREAM of them, as their next best phone only maintains solid sales for 1-2 months max. For example, AT&T still sells the once extremely popular Samsung Galaxy S. The phone was released less than 1 year ago and was a top competitor to the iPhone. Now when I go to work, The same 5 Galaxy S phones have been sitting on the shelf for since January of this year. The 2 iPhone 3GS? We still have to restock them every single day. This is just 1 AT&T store in america. The iPhone 4 is still the top selling smartphone with both AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Love it or Hate it, Apple’s iPhone is by far the more successful phone in sales ever.
Apparently Apple is now the most valuable company in the world now according to an article over at BGR.com. Now I’m not sure how important this is, but hey its news! I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about it so feel free to hit up the full article at BGR
Looks like the tech heads in China have been waiting the awesome iPad2! Several shots have been posted over the internet of super long lines at Apple stores in China. Here are some shots i grabbed from macrumors From the Sanlitun Apple store.
Looks like Apple may be finally bringing OTA updates to the iOS platform. To be honest, A lot of people who own iPhones still dont plug their phones up to their computer. I still see a lot of people using old software when brining iPhones in, sometimes still using 3.1.3. If this is true, it would be a huge help to the platform. But I’m sure you will still be limited to being on a WiFi network while being on a charger. Especially with Apple updates being ober 500mb!
Yea Techdeez has been kind of dead lately, mainly because i lost out on a computer but that’s no real excuse. I am currently looking for editors for this site. Its a volunteer gig and something to post on the side. I noticed that the site still gets quite a few hits even with the old material on here. Stay tuned and techdeez will be back on its feet!
This is another Android powerhouse that is coming to AT&T from Samsung. Looks like the Nexus S only got 1 month of famed as it’s not Shadowed by newer and better Android phones. Android fans who want the best will never catch a break. This one is a beauty. It sports a massive 4.5in Super AMOLED plus screen. I’m guessing thats much better than their previous screen on Galaxy S phones. Its also packing a 1.2Gig Hummingbird processor and Android 2.3 with TouchWiz. Camera on both front and back for Video Calling, finally another phone with AT&T other than the iPhone 4 with this feature. 8mp Camera with flash on back, 1.3Mp on front. Battery is a much concern here obviously, but we will have to wait and see. As far as hardware goes, looks like Samsung has stepped the game up with building Android Phones.

Windows Phone 7, the unique beautifully designed new mobile OS by Microsoft, is growing pretty quick. Only 7 weeks old, the platform already has 5,000 apps. Thats more than Palm’s app store that launched a in mid 2009. Not only that, its quickly catching up to BlackBerry’s overpriced app store. Among the 5,000 apps is this nicely designed 3D web browser called SurfCube that offers nice features for any WP7 user. Check out the video for a full hands on with the features. Price: $1.99.
WHOA WHOA! Wow T-Mobile came straight out with it! I like this Ad for several reasons. A smaller company calling out a much larger company should make AT&T get off their asses (again). Video Chatting without WiFi?? Thats what I like. It’s been proven that the iPhone Facetime’s very well over 3G with Jailbreak and the 3G hack, So whats up AT&T?
T-Mobile is also claiming the largest 4G network. This is great too. Verizon is right around the corner with LTE. I can tell you now, AT&T is working VERY hard to keep up. Just last year they said the consumers were not ready for 4G, so invested in 3.5G instead. With Sprint, Verizon, & T-mobile advertising 4G, AT&T will lose out. The average consumer have no idea what it means, they just see the higher number. Lets GET IT! Thanks IllMac for the news!
