Elephone responds to the $90 UMi ROME with its own super-affordable, all-metal handset

One day this will be a true 1080p screen for $90 and that will cream the main phone players, except for Apple due to their childish robot buyers. I'm old enough to remember similar tech improvements with CD players. One day, you just had to buy a Sony CD boom box for $250 or $450. Six years later, any $60 boom box by any nondescript company blew that old Sony out of the water. HDTVs are like that. In 2009, I spent $2,700 on a Samsung TV that now is outclassed by new $500 no name brands with Internet connections. I think this is why some analysts predict (I think inaccurately) that Samsung will exit phones in a few years. Any way you slice it, it's going to be super interesting to watch this unfold. I want to start a death pool for phone makers, to bet on which ones shut first, but that seems sad and mean.
