Yes, i understand we have some trolls here on the board, but this isn't about them...it's about the ones that don't even come here that hold this discussion legitimately.
Explain to me how you can complain about how other platforms have such and such feature but iPhone doesn't, going into great detail to explain how easily it could, how "behind" Apple is, and then when Apple releases an update that includes some of these things, people turn the same level of passionate complaining towards Apple for "Copying" everything. Is that the best you've got?
I mean, in the world of smart phones, we are seeing the same features across the spectrum of devices because, quite simply, THIS STUFF IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT! Who cares if everyone is using it the same way? If you've paid even a little bit of attention over the last 6-7 years, you know that Apple likes to polish features up before they put the on the iPhone, they like to make it inherently "Apple" before it goes on the street...is it really that surprising that Apple would release some very nice and useful functions on the iPhone that other phones are also enjoying? You'll say something about Apple making it seem like the greatest thing to ever hit a phone...do you guys understand that Apple is a freakin' business? What sense would it make for them to market their features as "we got this from Blackberry, and it works great!" You can't be that dumb...you just can't be (but I'm losing faith about that really seeing some of the posts).
And as far as the users getting excited...WTF do you expect? People to just ignore it and paint a fence or pressure wash a driveway instead of talking about it happily?
I just get a laugh out of people who strive to complain about SOMETHING...if the iPhone printed money and drove you to work in the morning, people would complain that it drove too fast or that it only printed large bills.
Get over it people...or don't and keep looking like complete tools. :beer:
