BlackBerry-Maker RIM Left in �No Man�s Land� After Google�s Motorola Deal
- avt123O.G.
You are missing my point. Here is an example using my iPhone4. Right now I am in the message view, having a conversation with someone. The only options I have for me to use is:
1) Respond (whether by typing/pasting/camera)
2) Edit (forward/delete)
3) Copy a whole message
4) Return to contact list
Whereas if I was using a Blackberry, I would have a whole slew of options to choose from in order to manipulate the data I have on the screen or do whatever else can be done via the menu (perhaps changing my profile?) I'm not too sure since I don't have a BB right now...
Regardless, I know that you CAN do things with your iPhone, but you can not say that there is the same, or more, functionality as a BB has. Here is a really simple example: File Management. How do I do that on my iPhone?08-16-11 12:15 PMLike 0 - It is frustrating not being able to get my point across.
The things I am trying to say are:
1) The OSes power lies in its multitasking and ability to scale to work with multiple cores with ease
2) Apple has effectively removed some forms of functionality from their devices in a successful effort to appeal to the masses want to worry about as little as possible01itr likes this.08-16-11 12:17 PMLike 1 - avt123O.G.I understand that it is frustrating, but there are too many variables to make a direct comparison it's just that you all have valid points to make and make them usually very well but and I address all of you, it can get a bit ugly. I hope you don't mind my comments. Thanks08-16-11 12:20 PMLike 0

Lets just say that we will always disagree and it doesn't really matter since iOS will continue to be iOS and BB will continue to be BB.
Sometimes it takes a third party to make you step back and realize that the whole argument is pointless and going nowhere, ah well.southlander likes this.08-16-11 12:32 PMLike 1 -
- Semantics. Apple "simplifies" by "dumbing down" their product.
ex. - iPhone only has one button in front. Simplifying it right? However, they are lacking the functionality that comes with the multiple buttons on say a Blackberry. The device is "dumbed down" in that you can no longer do these things, Apple says you don't need to.
another ex. - iPhone has no removable battery. Well now you don't have to worry about your battery either! Pretty simplified, unless you wanted to replace your battery, or remove it for any reason. But Apple doesn't see a requirement for you to do this, so it removes the function, effectively "dumbing down" the device further.08-16-11 12:43 PMLike 0 - Ah. So RIM "dumbed down" the PlayBook even more by eliminating all front-facing hardware buttons. Got it.
Good point! It's like how 80 years ago auto manufacturers introduced powered starters in lieu of manually operated handcranks, thereby "dumbing down" automobiles. Personally, I'd much prefer a hand crank to an engine start button. Convenience is for wusses.08-16-11 12:52 PMLike 0 - I wasn't inviting any conversation. Those points were ridiculous, and in need of some sarcasm. Now excuse me, I need to get the hand crank installed on my car before I have the engine start button removed. . . I wouldn't want the car to be "dumbed down" at all.08-16-11 12:57 PMLike 0
- avt123O.G.It's not actually which is why I am not going to respond to it anymore within this thread. This thread is about RIM and Google's deal with Motorola. I don't know why Apple was brought up at all actually.01itr and daveycrocket like this.08-16-11 01:00 PMLike 2

- Below is the first post in this thread to mention Apple (outside the text of the original article). You won't be surprised by the identity of the poster at all, though it is somewhat ironic since he went and "thanked" you for the very post I am now responding to:
