I don't see how this is huge news.

@Mxyzptlk
he just planted a seed of doubt in the eyes of Apple users everywhere (although i doubt those were his intentions). not that there is a better option but other options than Apple. so the huge news is more of a trickle down effect. people (nerds an ceos) will begin to look at other platforms as they see that IOS isn't a one stop shop. then as the wow factor fades so will general population consensus of the ecosystem and they will look for the next trend. its not going to be an over night Pied Piper procession, but the mindset of a Utopian OS is beginning to wane.

iOS just works. It will not meet the same fate BB and RIM met along with webOS

both were out dated and ios is going down that path

No it isn't.

if the co-founder says his own software is behind then that's when you know its going down

15. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Based on some of his comments and actions, I'd say the co-founder is a little nutty at times. Besides he didn't come up with the iPhone.

Of course Mxy, b/c everyone who says anything negative about iOS is a little nutty in your eyes....smh

Yes listen to vandroid he is telling the truth, Steve Wozniak (co founder of Apple) said ios is outdated hell he even uses a Lumia phone!
Than you know iphones are doodmed give it a few years...people will say iphone??? Whats that ahhahaha.

iphones are a damn good looking smartphone but they look the same and have the same boring os each year without any major changes and thats the only thing that holds me back from getting an iphone

I agree with most of what you said except that it's a good looking series of phone. They're really not. They look like kids' toys, simplistic, boring, and horrendously derivative of mid-20th century designs.

It surprises me that Dieter Rams hasn't visited jonathan ives and slapped him across the face for his blatant plagiarism.

@Sigpro

Woz said he HATE Windows/WP.
Woz said iphone were arrogant, he like larger phone
Woz said he DIDN'T hate android...

Ha can you please tell us how it just works? Like how maps just work, or how that alternative browser you got opens all your links or how you share stuff with other social networks without going through the app? And how it needs you to type your dammed password every time you try and update an app?

IOS just works at not working at all

Hi Bot ... There's nothing new about it except that it Just doesn't work all the time ... the toy is exposed and all are scrambling to relly find some means to fool the "flock" into buying new version of the same old version ... again and again ... and they lost some one :D

Bill Gates said WP is CLEARLY A MISTAKE & doomed

I think Mr. Gates said that there was a mistake in their smartphone strategy... not in the OS.

40. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)

No, no, no, no, no.

He said the speed at which they released their smartphones was a mistake, and it was related to Windows MOBILE, NOT PHONE.

Read the ENTIRE INTEVIEW, don't just pick and choose snippets.

I also saw the interview and jsde is right.

53. sitihardiyantiburukrupa (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 Feb 2013)

no it doesn;'t

Windows Mobile is a success with 12% market share.
Balmer kill WM.

WP is a failure with 2.5% market share....
