I swear you all need to go to Android and be done with it.
So my Cleveland Browns have been the dogs of the NFL for the last 13 years and using this logic...Real fans shouldn't voice their opinions about the players,QB,coach,GM and owner as we head to a 1-15 record? I don't buy that. You can be a fan and still not agree with the direction a product/team is going. I love my Honda Accord but wish it would do better on gas...so I guess I am not a true/real Honda fan?
Voicing your opinion about a product doesn't not always mean you hate it. Heck I criticize my sons effort in soccer last week...should I just go get another son?
There is just no way a closed source OS can keep up with the rapid evolution of hardware on Android, especially given the marketshare. By the same measure, Android developers simply don't have the time to optimise their hardware properly initially, because they are in such a race to deliver the next best phone.
Google controls their branch / fork of Android....Amazon controls theirs, in the arena of phones MS is not competing with vast army of open source zealots with pea shooters. They have a larger employee count than Google...as well as many more layers of management that probably slows things down.
Trust me, chip-set makers, display manufacturer keep OS vendors in the loop about their future plans years ahead of time (cough roadmaps ) so they would not have a product out there that's not usable by anyone.
Stats are great for getting geeks excited, but optimisation, and properly architected stuff takes time. Hence why a dual core 1.3ghz iPhone can easily keep up with the best Android has to offer.
There is soo much to phone performance, yet everyone chooses to focus on the simple stats, rather than all the important stuff.
For the
Nth time, this is not yet another discussion about how important display X is, or benchmark that. Its
about WP not being in
position to handle new hardware features and adding support months later than their competitors.
Again its about WP being late to add support for HW features so OEM give their best efforts to other platforms that WILL. We are not talking about weeks later....years later. In other words, OEM will put their latest product on platforms that will support their particular HW and there have been several cases where WP was the stumbling block
Tell me, whats holding up Nokia from releasing the
808 on WP? There
is a very specific reason(s) why it hasn't made it to WP as of Nov 2012
I hope an 808 version for WP is coming and I bet a version is, but as or right now...the OS is the hold up.
This is just a list of OEM hardware features that MS was 1 year late on or more
- SD card support
- LTE
- dual-core support
- non QualComm chipset support ( Exynos, Nvidia Tegra and even crusty old intel )
- 720 HD, 1080 HD support
- NFC
- Bluetooth 3.0/4.0
I get no one cares about these features and they are irrelevant to 9821% of the people, it's about the OS not being in position to support feature X, so OEM choose other platforms to display their latest and greatest whiz-bang feature
So all real fans of WP should
never voice their opinions about these features being late but just switch vendors? I would argue that REAL Cleveland Browns fans stick with their loser team for 13 straight years instead of becoming ugly Steeler fans
