| Korean phones cost more in Korean than they do in America. Fuck that! |
But did it leap ahead like the iphone did? Did it jump a year ahead to really outshine the other Android phone makers?
Nope.
In the end with all its power, performance and Apple hate love it only managed to buy a few months advantage from other phone makers before it was just another standard phone. Yes, many tech reviewers who bought the phone still praise it (boner alert) against newer models but the trend is familiar.
You buy a phone and 6 seconds later it's out of date.
This phenomena has increased rapidly since smart-phones went mainstream. My first and current smartphone; the HTC desire, was top of the line 18 months ago with its 512mb of memory and even less in ram power. But it sold well. I bought it. But these days its struggling to boot up and even open gmail.
Since my initial smartphone purchase, phones have increased in speed every few months. Which means the phone you buy today will be of equal or less power than the newest phone to come out in 3 months. And at the current rate of smart phone releases that occur that margin is shrinking by the day.
So, what am I on about?
What's the next big leap?
Me thinks.....wait for it........wait.......stay on target.........
Battery life.
Bang! did I blow your mind?
All the current smart-phones out there are the same in power, software and imaging/multimedia crap. What's holding them back is their short battery life.
Apple's working on a hydrogen fuel cell for phones. If they succeed then the game is over for the rest. A phone that can last for days or weeks would kill anything of lesser spec that tries to compete.

| Apple are bad mmmm kay? |
So the race is on. The first company to produce a phone with ample, busy battery life may get my money. I'm tired of buying smart-phones that last 5 minutes.
Even though I hate Apple I have to give them credit if they can pull it off.
Thus endith the lesson.
