    What I have been saying time and time again, now the tech experts are beginning to question.

    http://www.pcworld.com/article/2012231/is-windows-8-an-existential-threat-to-android-tablets.html

    Windows 8 tablets a threat to Android tablets, which may lead to a halo effect to its smartphones.

        :p with the release of the new iPhone, and as industry analysts expected, every single accomplishment mankind has achieved was rendered irrelevant. I was able to stop salivating and rubbing iPhone all over my body long enough to compile a list of its greatest features.
        No matter what you're doing on your new iPhone, you can pull up Twitter and tweet about it. Which is good, because it was hard to twitter before, and that barrier to entry has potentially cost us millions of important tweets. Imagine the nightmare scenario where a man sits eating a tuna fish sandwich and tried to tweet about how "yummers" it was, but had to push the home button AND open his favorite twitter app! "Forget that" the man said, turning back to his tuna fish sandwich. And then, horrifically, that tweet was lost to us forever.
        With the iPhone, you don't have to pay for awful data plans to send text messages! I mean, that is assuming you're only connecting with other people using iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone. And of course you are.
        You wouldn't associate with "those people" (people using Android). I wouldn't say I hate them, but I definitely pity them.
        'll never forget the dark days when we had only one core in our chips. At least four times a day I would ask myself if someone had stolen all the cores from my phone before I recalled that, no, this is just how the phone was made.
        the camera in the iPhone 4S/5 is remarkable. Honest to God I took a picture of a leaf blowing in the wind and this camera actually picked up that moment's intangible poetry.

          Apple likes to polish their products, so not every feature is flashy. Many are under the hood improvements.

          Features list here:

                  each cell phone is having its own advantages and disadvantages. instead of fighting search for the phone with our required specifications is better. for android users your so called samsung galaxy is having the worst controls and apple is making money of people weakness.
