I know he has often compared them to the iPhone, but he himself didn't buy the iPhone until a couple of months ago. Pogue's blog has the back issues. You might want to browse through the last 6-9 months of his posts, you'll find quite a bit. His reviews are clear and also witty, so it's easy reading. SRS |

19 Dec 09 - 04:53 AM (#2791848) Subject: RE: Tech: Smartphone vs iPhone From: Mr Red iPhone has the marketing right. I would doubt it has all the technology right. It would run counter to experience. It is the Betamax/VHS race all over again. Purchaseable software was the key then, and it is now. The real problem with smart phones is that they can be hacked remotely by methods more methods than yer average PC: WiFi, Bluetooth, on-line and the Apps that demand on-line automatically. Did we ever learn anything from history? Apple are no more immune than anyone, and like MS on the PC if they are the biggest target - they will be the one to get the most attention from miscreants. Just like the PC you have to be wary of the invisible and Virus and Firewall type Apps are out there to protect you. Plus ca Change. |
