iPhone killer: Can the Tocco take down the Apple?
First up in the battle royale of phones is the Samsung Tocco. Touchy, tiny and with a slightly pretentious name, on paper it could take the 3Gesus phone down to Chinatown.

Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
Samsung wins!
Samsung are the world leader in consumer electronics! Along with LG, Samsung continue to provide consumers with quality products at affordable prices. This has been so for the last 6 years, Japanese companies are not even in competition, with inferior products at extortionate prices.
Also, Apples entire consumer base are trendy yuppies with far too much money.
the only death here is going to be for samsung..... apple offers too much in terms of integration and whatnot
The Iphone 3G really is the best phone i have ever owned.
Its easy to use, and i really do recomend it to everyone, especially for those in the UK since you can get a far better deal here, than the US is getting
Obviously someone who is jealous that the Xbox 360 is superior thanks to its better games, graphics and online etc.
Anyways dont compare the Tocco its complete garbage, you all need to check out the new Samsung Omnia (i900)
Ever since iPhone came on the scene, even though touchscreen phones existed before the iPhone, companies have bombarded the market with socalled iPhone killers. But what these companies and people are failing to realize is that the iPhone should not be categorized as just a phone, but as a mini computer. Now ask yourself, why does PC dominate over Mac in terms of sales and appeal??? It's because of software, and ever since the app store launched, that opened the door to unlimited opportunities for the iPhone and people that own one. I write this while I am listening to Aol internet radio, one of the FREE apps I downloaded onto my iPhone. Now you Nokia and Samsung advocates know this: it is not just about hardware. You can come out with a much better phone than the iPhone in terms of hardware features, but just as with PC vs. Mac, 360 vs. PS3, iPhone vs. the world, it is going to take software, and the platform for devs to be able to freely develop applications for ANY of these other phones out there trying to compete with the iPhone to really compete at all. Even in Steve Jobs keynote address when he first introduced the iPhone, he acknowledged that the iPhone and what it could do required more than just hardware, it required strong partnerships with other companies to make the iPhone what it is. Bottomline, besides the iPhone living up mostly to all the hype (still no flash, stereo bluetooth) no other phone has a prayer of stacking up against the iPhone unless it offers a dev kit and an app store where free and paid apps are available, and even then you gotta have devs interested in your hardware to even get a small fraction of the apps already available on iPhone's app store.
P.S. How many touchscreen phones does this make that Samsung is trying come out with to battle the iPHone???
