QOTD: The latest and the greatest?

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Shaun

qotd27Does it bother you if there is a smartphone on the market that is the upgraded version of yours? Do you always want the best on the market or do simple things like not having the latest OS version (Android in particular) annoy you?

    Like most people I probably lust after the latest shiny gadgets, but it certainly doesn’t bother me particularly.

    Looking forward to iPhone 4 though……:-)

    Nope, I have the greatest, and no new devices leaked catch my imagination. So safe for a while :)

    Doesn’t really bother me because most upgrades are only incremental improvements. I am waiting for the 2.1 Android update for the HTC Hero but, looking at the specs, I don’t think it will make a huge difference.

    Same situation as Gavin with the HD2 :-) I also think the Palm Pre has a lot of merit once you spend some time using it.

    I pretty much expect it. It is the nature of technology. I don’t quite get people who bitch and moan because half a year later, or even a year later a better version of what they have comes out and they end up saying things like “That’s what the original ****** should have been like!” Yes of course, but then who’d buy the upgrade!?

    Android 2.1 has just been announced for the Droid and already some people are starting to ask when 2.2 is coming out. Now that seems seriously worrying.
