The One is great - I have one. I think it's a lack of marketing or awareness. Most people who've seen my handset didn't even know it existed (even though it's been around since April) and assume you either get an iPhone or an S4...

Yeah, the HTC One is great- I have one. But people don't know it exists. There was much cooing over an S4 in the office recently, someone spotted my one and was impressed, but the simply hadn't heard of it. Every shop window has posters for the S4 or iPhone.

HTC need to up their marketing, but if they haven't got the money to do that then yeah, they'll struggle :(

Hmm, since the end of Jan, my android device has intermittently stopped receiving calls/texts until I restart it. I wonder if it's related...

I'm bored.

*affect, not effect.

Hmm

- Create webpage with links about Latest Big Thing (I dunno, that vampire flick or some crap)

- Put in lots of adSense too

- Create QR code stickers leading to site

- Stick on Posters in Bus stops and stuff

- insert redundant ?????

- Profit!

I'm still using my trust Galaxy Nexus - the Nexus 4 looks ok, but not significant enough for me to really want one. So luckily, I didn't have to get all pissy yesterday when it all went wrong. I know a couple of guys from work tried to buy one and failed miserably though.

I might pick one up in a few months, but the G'Nex is the first phone I've had for 12 months and not got bored of yet!

I used to "use" cell broadcast years ago with old Nokias and Ericssons to display the local area code on the screen... shame more was never made of it (you could add other codes to display random techy crap IIRC too)

I saw a couple of talks by the Xamarin guys earlier this year - it does look good, but for a "bedroom coder" like me knocking out a free app, I can't justify the cost, so i'll stick with Eclipse and the android sdk for now... icky as it is.

The cloudy stuff is an interesting development though.

Lost profits?

For their "lost profits" argument to hold true, they'd have to prove everyone who bought a Samsung device would have gone out and bought the Apple equivalent instead (had the Samsung device not existed).

Proof? I've only just stepped into the fondleslab market with a Nexus 7, had that not appeared I would go without; I wouldn't have bought a sodding iPad.
