Just goes to show how smart iPhone people actually are.
They just buy it because their next door neighbor has one and they wanna compare to them or feel better.
Fkn idiots.
I'm sure they took out the people who were smart enough to notice and not just blindly assume its a new superior phone. Most of those people look confused and I'm sure they just didn't want to look like they're out of the loop
This was an article I just saw . Total fluff piece saying how great the new iPhone is, when really it's playing catch up. They brag that iPhone users can now take panoramic photos lol. And apple says Samsung copies. SMH

This. Using the magic of video editing to prove a point is great, isn't it?
All in all, I gotta say it's a beautiful phone. One aspect of Apple has always been great design. Two pieces of glass has in fact proven to be an ignorant decision, but damn if it doesn't look good. Still it does bother me to see so many people happy to see outdated features. I had canned sms and sms reply (call rejection) well before I ever owned a smartphone. The panorama? I have quite a few nokias lying around that have more then a reasonable amount of vacation panoramas. LTE? Poor Steve, he really believed it was too early and I'm easily swayed by his argument considering that all major providers are still in the middle of expanding lte coverage. So what if android got it first? How many of you can actually use it reliably and not as a "look what I can do" moment. NFC? Again, Steve Jobs believed it was too young of a technology and thus an unnecessary impact on performance (however small). Look around, how many reliably working nfc terminals are in retail? I have two gas stations that support nfc, but only one will accept my evo. The phone is nice, the quality definitely appears to be a step up from the previous, it finally has features that bring it up to par with the cellphones I had in the 90's. I still don't like Apple products, I don't think a certain incomplete (yes, even Andy Rubin has admitted it's far from what he considers finished) linux based operating system is any superior. I like my particular phone and it suits me for the time being. I will never understand why so many people take such pleasure in seeing ill-informed people who's more rational sense of being is being obscured by vanity.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
Yea but as I said before, a few of them seemed to be confused initially. With a camera documenting your reaction to the phone, and quite possibly being a publicity stunt for the latest product. Would you want to appear a foolish rube out of touch with technology? It appears to be vanity more then ignorance or stupidity.

I totally agree.
You may be right, they could be vane. They could just be techno-stupid. I would have to attribute it to Apple's superb marketing.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
They do have a reasonably aggressive marketing strategy. The beauty of it, is that it does not appear aggressive at all (lawsuits are not marketing, although in Samsung's case it could be)
OMFG. I saw this and it just clearly shows how ignorant and stupid a person has to be in order to operate such a silly device.

that's funny, 5 million people would disagree with those statements.

Poor guy. Can't believe I actually read the whole article. Haha

This guy is a troll and all his articles referencing the Note are trolljobs. The Note fits in my pockets just fine, and I've never had an issue with it being too big to hold(i'm sure his gf would say something similar about him).
troll articles are what the editors want though... think about it.. it invokes an emotion from you, whether good or bad, it still gets you to read the article, click on links, look at ads, etc.
it's why there's always that a-hole on morning talk shows that you hate SOOO MUCH but you can't stop listening to the show
If it had an Apple logo on the back it would be praised by Gizmodo as revolutionary and amazing. iGiz generally has pro-Apple bias in most of what it writes (I've noticed this with the TechBlock as well, especially if you've ever listened to their podcast). I expect these kinds of "articles" from iGiz, so I'm not so shocked.

This is the absolute truth. If Steve Jobs had waved this phone around, everyone would be worshiping him for creating a middle ground device between phone and tablet.

Seems like Gizmodo is still trying to win Steve Jobs' forgiveness even after his death.
Seriously, I'm sick of his stupid articles, even in something totally unrelated he posted about the note, I guess they want to generate traffic out of hate? I have removed gizmodo from my RSS, about time.
Gizmodo has gone down in quality big time in the least couple of years. This article was the last straw for me, I deleted them from my RSS feed.
I posted this on my Facebook wall (hey, I just don't post the good stuff, I can post "bad" as well) LOL!
Wow, I hardly ever take anything posted on Gizmodo seriously, this is one of them, but I DID find it entertaining at the very least.
Even if I don't totally agree. Just because 5+million people (world wide) bought this phone, does not mean that it will be the defact-o standard at all! Samsung went into this area KNOWING it was going to be a Niche Market at best. They got lucky and that Niche was pretty big.
Other manufacturers are jumping on this bandwagon to make their own "Phablets", but the demand (on a global scale) is so small in comparison to the mainstream handsets that they will not suddenly abandon the "normal" sized handsets and just go huge.
Oh well... This guys always been a tool on here with his articles, taking things out of context to twist to his own agenda, it's just now comical anytime he writes something.

But really, I have a general hatred towards Apple just for things like this. They want to own a monopoly. If someone is chipping away at their market share even though they are still raking in billions of dollars, they will attack in any way possible instead of innovating and making their own products better. The only people getting hurt by this is us, the consumers.

Unfortunately, I own an iPad (as is obvious from my signature). At the time it came out there were (in my opinion, so please don't post "WHAT ABOUT THE XXXX??!!") no comparable Android tablets. Also unfortunately I can't justify buying another tablet based on my dislike (now bordering on, sigh, hate) of Apple. I only use my iPad for browsing, Kindle app, streaming video and music (that I didn't buy from iTunes) from my HTPC, and Netflix. So the sum total of money Apple made off me is from the hardware. And that won't be happening again anytime soon.

I also unfortunately have the new iPad, but only because it was a gift for my college graduation/birthday. I mean I'm not going to turn down a great tablet, but I've bought maybe two apps and not planing on buying anymore, and one of them was a game I had already bought on Android. I only use it for web browsing really, I wish I could root it lol but I still hate Apple.
It's come to this...
Apple is who they wanted to destroy in '84. They are the big emotionless corporation enslaving the masses. Android came in and showed everyone the truth.

Well, there goes any chance of finding the Evo LTE in stores on the release date.. Or for a while afterwards.
There was a comment on the article that someone made that they contacted Sprint about the delay on the Evo 4G LTE and they said that the delivery date will still be the 17th/18th. So it might have just been a particular shipment but it seems those who preordered will be getting it
I had no intention of buying the Evo LTE, but this really pisses me off.
Someone needs to address this broken patent system. And every single one if Apple's patents should be reviewed by someone who is not on Apple's payroll and is actually qualified for the task at hand.
This is beyond frustrating. It's time sure google to start defending their OS.

I heard that they're already shipping too. It's because they would have already had the initial rollout within the country. It's after that shipment that we will see shortages.

Most of the iPhone and Mac users I know bought Apple products to be different from the masses and avoid greedy corporate conglomerates (ala Microsoft). Ironic how Apple has become the very beast that they sought to avoid.
On a side note, Apple's vague software patents should be nullified. Software patents in general are sketchy at best. Patent reform is greatly needed....technology innovation and choice will suffer greatly if something isn't done.

Sure, it sucks for Samsung. But a lot of what Apple went after them for at least made a little sense. Samsung blatantly copied Apple in many situations. And even if there were examples of prior technology that fit the case, Apple was able to show that Samsung intentionally copied Apple's work instead of basing work off of said prior technology.
Before we start a circlejerk of people condemning Apple and all of its employees to hell, please realize that this was a legitimate legal decision and the people who made this decision put a lot of thought into it. I'm not happy that Samsung lost either, but I also believe that they lost for a reason.

This major win with a major competitor will only give birth to a whole new round of suits and new strategy that will probably lead to us being phucked over. The realization of apple being a monopoly is becoming ever more true. You think the bs we had to put up with when our EVOs were held in customs was crap, just wait. I see bad things heading our way. I know Samsung copied apple. We all said that awhile ago. But jeez, if the courts will agree with apple that a rectangle with rounded corners is copying, then what does that say for us?

"See we knew all along apple was being copied and this is what it will mean in the future". Personally I feel this will be overturned. I'm going to site a source from Gizmodo which also sites the Verge as one of their sources.
This is a good read. Please weigh in. Please be mature. And anyone with legal experience please lay your expertise on us.

Apple is only adding to its demise as a company and a staus symbol. Personally i feel that all this court time they're using is a waste of tax payers money and time. What happened to the law about monopolies in the US im pretty sure thats what apple is trying to become. Is there no such thing as being better because you are not because you own a patent. Imagine what it would be like if sports and car manufacturers were like this. What do we just turn our cheek since its an american company and they're going against foreigners. I say the legal system needs to say f u apple step up your game so u can compete instead of being a ***** and running to mommy because some asshole at school took your lunch money.

That's what I'm hoping for too. But Apple's vendetta is against android in general, so I'm sure they'll find something to sue over...and there's still the hardware to consider.

I think android as a whole i.e. google, htc, sammy, moto, and the low low end companies need to unite and fight apple and there bs patents as a whole and not one by one because it will be ruled in favor of apple everytime because they got home turf advantage. No american is going to rule against an american owned american built american ran company in america. That would go against everything we as americans have been taught and what we believe in. And 90% of americans for whatever reason are blind to the fact that america dont produce a third of whats built and made in america. Hell my ford was assembled and built in canada my chevy was in mexico oh and the kicker is my stryker (the 8 wheeled armor vehicle the army uses) was manufactured built and thought up in canada the company is just based in america. So if our military is going to go outside the US for weapons and vehicles then we should be happy and willing to do the same for our cell phones and other electronics and at least not be biased when it comes down to it in a courtroom setting.

+1 its so obvious from apples actions that android is top dog and apples trying everything it can to level the playing field. They can feel the walls slowly closing in and the lights getting dimmer for their reign as a technological giant and all they can do is claw and scratch at the dirt walls of the hole they dug themselves into. I for one find it amusing that they have to resort to this level of pediness (sp?) And just all together humiliating tactics that theyre trying to use.

I'm going out on a limb here but wasn't Samsung supposed to be judged by a jury of it's peers. Obviously the jury couldn't consist of electronic companies but it should have been made of people that work in that field or people with specific educations. Juries in trials like this shouldn't be picked from the general masses.
Also is it possible for Samsung to get a fair trial in the U.S
Its not possible for any foreign company to get a fair trial in the US were way to biased for that. Plus were in a recession so we need american jobs to stay in america and go to americans. Honestly its all politics and whoever has the bigger wallet wins the case or at least can get a decision of what they want. The legal system in this country is so far in the ****ter that it would take a total revamp of it to get it to be 5% better than it is now. 2 cases i can think of off top of head that prove this: the oj trial (what a joke) and the jon bennet incident granted these cases are old as hell and some people reading are say wtf are you talking about it still proves my point. **** even if you take a look at big business cases martha stewart goes to jail for alleged insider trading where as the top people in charge of enron walk freely with their pockets stuffed to the max. And citizens wander whats wrong with the country and how did we end up in the economic state were in now. End rant.

Whatever the outcome, I hope this starts pushing manufacturers to just put AOSP ROMs on our phones--all Nexus, all the time.

That would just make android more like apple. The point of android is choice, if all of our phones ran the exact same software and ui where's the choice? You would have to root your phone just to get something different. Which isn't a big deal to me because all of my phones have been rooted, but others like to be able to choose a different ui just by picking different phones by different manufacturers.

+1 its so obvious from apples actions that android is top dog and apples trying everything it can to level the playing field. They can feel the walls slowly closing in and the lights getting dimmer for their reign as a technological giant and all they can do is claw and scratch at the dirt walls of the hole they dug themselves into. I for one find it amusing that they have to resort to this level of pediness (sp?) And just all together humiliating tactics that theyre trying to use.

700 question complaint and they take all of 22 hours to reach a verdict. Even patent experts would need more time to review. Apple's own lawyers weren't prepared for such a quick verdict

They're also expected to decline over the next couple of years.
I hear that Troll company is also looking to ban some devices.
Gotta love karma.
I bet if a ban does happen, the ITC will pull its head out of its as$ and push for reform.
More than my dislike for Apple's litigation tactics, I hate the flawed international system when it comes to technology, software especially.

Well, it is happening. Look at their stock. They lost a lot. High point was around $700/share. Now they are in a steady decline and current share is 558. Also, it wiped out a lot of market cap. It was around $620 billion, now it's $524 billion. They are still most valuable company, but I am sure things will continue to decline for Apple.
Signs are there. iPad marketshare dropping vs Android tablets. They screamed off the top of their lungs that there will never be iPad mini, but they had to follow suit because Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, were taking a lot of marketshare. Google Play caught up to App Store in quantity of apps. iPhone 5 release only gave them 2-3% of marketshare, and mostly at expense of RIM/Microsoft.
Apple is no longer innovating. They are following others. Good read here: http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/10/apple-is-a-follower/. Apple Maps, the lackluster iOS 6, falling share price. I think Apple ran out of steam.

This is pretty much what's happening right now. Not to mention, with the iOS Maps problems, and the problems with the iPhone5 coming with scratches and what not, they're just getting sloppy. Not to mention, just to try and keep up with everyone, they finally made the screen larger, but people are getting bored with it. iOS is still the same thing it's always been. People want NEW things.
And there's more. Apparently SIII outsold iPhone 4S last quarter. Granted, some people may have been waiting for iPhone 5, but numbers are numbers.

Also Apple loose a patent in mexico vs the ifone

That is the reason I finally switched to Android in August. I would never go back to iOS. I should have never bought Apple.

I love success stories like this.
apple is just seeing a slow in their astronimical growth. i think this is a good thing. i believe some of these set backs will force apple to going back to innovating instead of litigating.
Android will always be more innovative with strong competition.
i agree with fernando... specially with the last part

My buddy at work is a huge apple fan. He has owned all of the Iphones and was there for the release of the Iphone5. He showed me his iphone5 and I was like wow, that looks exactly like your previous iphone... How boring.
I went from an OG evo to the ltevo and there is a world of difference between the two, but yet they are still evo's.

I don't know, connector that turns all your expensive speaker docks and clock radios into junk overnight, and usb cable with a chip in it to (atempt, already failed) to make it impossible for anyone else to make even a stupid charge cable, turning a commodity item into a special and expensive accessory. Those are pretty big changes.

those things you're talking about are optional features you can add to the phone.... the changes I'm talking about are physically with the phone...
