The claim states, "Whithout iPhone we might wont have Android"
as if "Whithout the son we might wont have the father".

The father might not look as cool or as stunning as the son,
and could have transformed after seeing the son's coolness,
yet it is STILL ridiculous to say, "Without the son, we might not have the father!"

Any first year biological student will tell you that,
"Without the father, we definitely will not have the son!!!"

I think what the original claim meant wasn't saying that Android wouldn't exist at all, but definitely not in the form we see it today.

yeah..last week...

Precisely!! Whether it was omission or otherwise,
it claimed so clearly, "Whithout iPhone we might wont have Android"...

So boldly claimed, "Without me, there won't be my father!" whether or not in any form!

New advertisement from samsung

Also the chicken video on eggs so vivid on SGS2...

I'm a galaxy s user for 10 months, I've never had this problem.

iphone4 is so last year

samsung galaxy s is hardware accelerated. remember that both samsung and apple share the same chip for sgs and iphone4?

although we've seen better support for 2d & 3d acceleration in 2.3.3, the acceleration is still depended on manufacturers to code a good user interface.

but yeah, sgs II is gonna be awesome!


HTC G1/Dream came after the first iphone

yes...thx bro ur answer..i will print screen this post and show my fren...they all apple fans...sot de..queue up for 3 hours ++ to get Ipad 2...

TRUE, true...that is HTC G1...
Android has been around since 2003,
way before the first iPhone was launched.

So, it was impossible to claim that
without iPhone, there won't be Android, which exists before iPhone!

^you got it wrong. The android you see today will not exist without the existence of iOS. I'm as much of an Android fan as everyone in this subforum, but I acknowledge the contributions iOS had on the Android platform.

Nobody can deny iOS popularised multitouch zooming. Beautification of Android also started when people start comparing with iOS.

And it's only fair to consider the first commercially available Android device, which is the G1. Even the G1, dare you say it is comparable to the iPhone 2G at that time?

Me in support of anti-fanboyism.

android in its early form was nothing like iOS. Search for youtube videos on its early prototype. Many of android improvements are due to direct competition against iOS.

Hardware-wise, we see HTC, samsung, motorola keep improving their phone.

At the end of the day, android wins in terms of functionality. Steve Jobs will not add uber-useful widgets on iOS, among many other features.

I may be late but look at these two live wallpapers from sgs II. I tested it on my sgs. They work great! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...693&postcount=1

without Motorola, there wouldn't be any cellphone today.

So Motorola wins

I LIKE!

Yes motorola wins sorry for this but just got state this!

I don't intend to disprove I was wrong or prove that I was right here!

I would rather go back to history to bring a parallel...


Think of airplane, everyone remember the Wright brothers 1903 flight and their subsequent commercialization through its patent in 1906.
Yes, that was their US Patent 821393 for a "Flying Machine".

Before 1903, there were more than 30 human "flights" with the first was some 120 years before it in 1783 in Paris France.
That flight, though on a flying machine balloon, but did not apply for US Patent nor commercialization. It was recorded in
history as a flight of 9km in 25 minutes by Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier.

Nobody can/will deny Wright brothers contribution to the aviation industry.

But to say, "Whithout iPhone we might wont have Android" is to say,
"Without Wrights, we might not/won't have Montgolfier."

Montgolfier existed 120 years before Wright, just like Android existed 4 years before iPhone.

Montgolfier's flying balloon machine might not be in the same format/structure/stature as the airplane today,
but to say, Without Wright, there is no Montgolfier is definitely not acceptable.

We can say, Without Wright, there is no modern day airplane or even no flying machine (as per US patent)
then we can say, without iPhone, there might not be smartphone today.

I am NOT denying iOS contribution, I just believe the earlier claim was not substantiated factually & historically
when we say "Without iPhone we might (not)/ wont have Android".


Just my contribution to the forum's discussion.

should have worded it more appropriately, "without the competition from iOS, Android might not be what it is today"

and IMO, vice versa, without Android, iOS wouldn't even have its partial multitasking today,
plus most of the "customization" for iOS after being jailbroken are inspired by Android as well.
