2009 Best Phone
iindigo:
The main thing I dislike about sony products are their designs. Some are good, but others... well... they're better looking than Dells, but that's not saying much.
Also, are they still pushing that stupid memory stick?
fohfoh:
Sony products usually use memory sticks, unless you look at their SLRs, those use industry standard memory.
But yes, Sony's stuff is hit or miss.
Seriously though, Apple's stuff is like Hollywood remakes of comics. There's so much potential and yet we get steaming piles of shit like Transformers 2. I mean COME ON! The potential is right there in front of you as plain as day and the higher ups can still find a way to fuck up.
I'm not going to blame Steve Jobs though. He gives me a feeling he wanted a phone function in as an afterthought (and that's what the iPhone is). He probably dished the phone aspect to someone else who ended up failing to put stuff in "sneakily" and decided it was a good idea to try and make shit fall down to be good "business". Guess what Gen 4 is going to be? OMFG WTF BBQ AMAZING EXPANDED MEMORY WE LURVES YOU APPLEZ!

Sony may have stuff that the consumer wants, but it's damn expensive, but it's "topline" and far too pricey. Apple has stuff that's far too pricey but no where close to top line. High mid maybe, but not top. Sony actually "invents"(OLED kinda, PS3 kinda, MS Duo etc kinda), Apple pretends to "innovate". That's about it. It's still riding on the coattails of its original products. I mean, the only thing the iPod is decent for is playlists, but give an mp3/4 a little time and the same can be done there (though not as idiot proof as that piece of shit known as iTunes).

Wait... you're commending Sony on that piece of garbage known as the Memory Stick? Sony is even worse than Apple when it comes to using proprietary connectors, memory, and other bullshit to force consumers to keep using their product. MS Duo can go die in a hole somewhere. I'm sorry but I refuse to buy Sony cameras because I don't want to be forced to buy another Sony just because I was locked into their overpriced Memory Stick. What is so wrong with using a standard SD card like EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER?
And yes I am a little angrier than I need to be because I had to buy a MS Duo for my PSP while everything else I use is SD.

No... I'm saying Sony actually has new shit. Apple does not. Apple stopped inventing like... 15 years ago. We might all hate sony, but we can't deny they have stuff that is original.
brgiant:
Nothing Sony does is original. They just improve on existing ideas, which sounds a lot like the company that you despise so much.
Sony:
PS3 = New PS2 = New PS1 = New SNES = New NES = New Atari = New Pong = Actual Invention
Apple:
iPhone = Phone + iPod = New mp3 player = New CD Player = New Tape Player = New Record Player = New Radio = Actual Invention
Sony doesn't invent, they innovate... just like Apple. I love Sony products, I also love Apple products. I guess I just don't get the Apple hatred in this thread.
