Just to reinforce my original post above.

If you didn’t buy the phone with the view to those features you wanted becoming avaialble at a later date did you buy the phone with your eyes shut then because clearly the iPhone didn’t suit you!

@ Pete Belk

Sounds like you have a lot of anger inside of you.

From your comments i can come to the conclusion that you originaly bought your iPhone with the hope of future features being released in the OS that you wanted right from the day you purchased it.

This was your first mistake…

Apple never said they would put those features in the phone when you originaly got it did they!

To make a purchase with a view to one day it MAYBE being able to do things you want it to is utter madness!!!

Then from the looks of it you had decided you had waited long enough for these ‘missing’ features and decided to ditch the iPhone and buy a crapberry.

This was your second and probably biggest mistake!

And now here we are Pete Belk, years on from your original iPhone purchase and now that the new iPhone and OS is coming out with all the features you wanted originaly when you purchased your first iPhone you are more than pi**ed off but angry as hell because you now feel either apple has let you down in some way (hence the anti apple comments) or maybe you are tied into a crapberry contract you cant get out of until way after 3rd generation iPhone launch.

Either way im sorry but you only have yourself to blame!

We’ll see how Apples patent claim holds up when the Pre comes out.

^The specific -claims- of each patent app are what have gravity, not the fact that a patent app -title- may sound similar.

@David Richards-
Multi-touch technology dates back to 1982, when Nimish Mehta at the University of Toronto developed the first finger pressure multi-touch display. Although Apple has won some sort of multi touch patent in Jan 2009 (after first filing in Sept 2005). what is funny is that Steve Jobs himself is listed as one of the “inventors” of it…lol. If this is true, the Palm Pre will be ripped by lawsuits as soon as it comes out.

I think that one of the biggest issues Apple face is the cost of going to market Vs clever new technology. OLED is a classic example. Apple and their patents have given them an advantage with touch now they are working on hardware with partners.

The AT&T network where I live is better than any of the other major ones. I’ve been in places where other people on other networks couldn’t get signals and AT&T had no issues. I guess we can’t all be on Boost Mobile like you…

Who cares… As long as its on AT&Ts network it sucks..

the displays are rumored for the netbook, not the iPhone.

I’m gonna push past the insanity of people taking the time to read an article on a phone they don’t like, and taking the time to venomously attack it to ask a question:

What benefits do OLED offer over LCD displays? I’m ignorant on the subject.

DO NOT BELIEVE IT. The writer of this article has been exposed previously as a fraud and a plagiarist. http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s2178689.htm He most likely made this up to drive traffic to his site, just as he did the “PS4″.

You say ‘I dont follow the crowd or attempt to keep up with the Jonses’…but yet you admit to owning the original iPhone. Contradiction: stubborness versus stupidity…

Something I just thought of…didn’t Apple file a patent a while back for some type of secondary screen mounted beneath the main iPhone screen that would allow, say, a clock to be always visible, even when the main display is off? If they use an OLED for the main display, that would totally work since OLEDs don’t require a backlight…

Just thinking out loud…

What establishment? Apple’s stock is tanking like everyone elses, they are looking at ways to generate revenue, hence upgraded handset, one that the same Apple lovers have been screaming for, for 2 years and NOW they decide to come out with what everyone else has been enjoying since the dawn of the cellphone.

Counter culture? not hardly I buy what suits me, I dont follow the crowd or attempt to keep up with the Jonses. I do not buy items just because a particular magazine, critic, or expert states that this is the greatest thing, I have touse it to see if it will what I expect out of a phone, if it does not meet my needs or expectations then I either get rid of it or purchase what will, not what is popular at the time.

@ Pete Belk
You’re the coolest. How’d you get to be so anti-establishment and counter culture? I bet you ride a bitchin’ motorcycle, ’cause you’re an outlaw, right? Keep on building those straw-man arguments. After all, Tiggers gotta’ bounce and haters gotta’ hate.

If Apple does plan to produce an iPhone with OLED and it ends up making the iPhone more expensive, they could position it as a “premium” iPhone model, until OLED prices come down.

Then how about we trade phones and service? I’ll let you have this brick (BB Storm) and you give me your “iCrap.”

You sir, are an ass…. but you make me laugh. Drawn and quartered. You almost made me spit water on my keyboard. Thats the type of good ol’ fashioned capital punishment a guy can really get behind…

@Chunky: Whatever, Monkeee.

@Canis_Major: Talk volume numbers … -then- we can talk about comparisons of “large scale”. Not until, however, as **no one** is making the false claim that Apple was ‘first’ on any scale.

@backbeat:

“Like to define “large scale” as I referred to it in the post which you find fault? Seriously? You don’t really wanna go there, do ya?”

Yes, I DO want to go there

Only you know how you defined it. I’m inferring you meant number of phones sold. Nokia has been selling OLED phones since 2007 with the 7900 and the 8800. I’m not even counting the N93i which had an outside OLED screen but LCD inside, and the 2006 Nokia 6215i as I think that was made by Pantech.

Take a quick look at the sales figures of the N85 and the 6600 slide, and you’ll see that Nokia with these two phones has ALREADY sold more OLED phones than Apple has sold iPhone 3Gs. Add the 7900 and the 8800-series, and Nokia is definitely large scale in OLED.

It would be common sense for you to quote your “intended party” instead of starting confusion to other “party[s]” My apologies if I did or did not offend you.

@Pete Belk who said: “It is funny as heck when Apple comes out with something new, all of the followers think that Apple invented that particular technology, its been around for years, but because Apple is doing it, it becomes the greatest thing since sliced bread.”

Kindly quote those who have made such ridiculous statements. They should be drawn and quartered at once for their sins.

Or, on the other hand, you wouldn’t be attempting to create a false-reality to rail against. Would you?

@ChunkyMonkeee: Simple logic dictates that you were not the intended party of my comment. My apologies if that flew over your head.
