Motorola Takes a Dig at Apple Yet Again

Sorry to break the news everyone but I really don't miss flash. Although Apple have their flaws, I prefer things be proprietary and work then sluggish and buggy. I agree with Ankush Kapoor, Motorola is trying desperately to stay relevant instead of focussing to make better products that are innovative.

Well, I have had an iphone for 2 years and I only had one website that I really needed to get to that had flash.

I can totally watch flash porn movies on my droid! lol, just sayin.. I never was a big fan of the Mac bubble they keep there self in.. its just nice to be unrestricted with my electronics.. If i wana download a nudy app i can, if i wana download an app for root users from the android market, i can. If i wana sit back and feed my freakin turtles on my igoogle homepage from my phone, i can now.. if i wana watch my youtube vids from the browser, i can now.. But i will admit if it were not for apple raising the bar with the first iphone, innovation in the smartphone world would have progressed a-lot slower. For that i do thank Apple, and Steve Jobs for!

While I choose Android for the freedom, I support Apple in their quest to put Adobe in their place. Proprietary plug-ins have no place in my browser, particularly when they have a track record for security holes. On my phone, are you kidding? I have Flash turned off.

While I own an iPod and an iPad, I'll still be the first to admit that Steve Jobs makes me want to vomit in my mouth sometimes, as well as the all-too-common "Apple elite" mentality you sometimes feel from the iPhone users. HOWEVER, Motorola shouldn't be so smug. I went through two of their Droid 2 phones and both were filled with defects and bugs, from half working screens, to keyboard backlights that didn't light up in dark rooms 50% of the time, or random reboots in the middle of a call or texting. And the fact the phone was designed so when you use the top half of a case, it partially blocks the top row of the "improved" keyboard shows that their designers aren't as bright as they thought, too. Apple = arrogant (yes). Motorola has no room to talk = (yes as well). Sorry to both... my next phone will be a Blackberry. It's not as flashy or cool, but at least they WORK.

I'd rather eat worms, than use a motorola product.

Well done Moto! I used to despise your products before but you have turned around! Way to go and keep kicking Apple at every opportunity.

Sorry... why is it cheesy?

I really believe that this hurts Motorola. An popular advertising "jingle" or phrase will always move the mind to its original not to the follower.

This is the same Motorola that allowed Verizon to cripple their Razr by disabling much of the Bluetooth capability. Shame on you!

For all you folks saying "they should focus on innovation instead of cheeky adverts", I have 2 things to say: 1: Me thinks you don't know what "innovation" even is. 2: Are you under the impression that the engineers just stop "engineering" and lay about coming up with ad campaigns? They hire people to do that. The marketing blokes coming up with ad campaigns has no effect on what the engineers and R&D blokes are doing. I think it's funny, which is the whole point, I'd imagine.

How about someone inventing a portable voice communication device that works ANYWHERE reliably? Now, that would be innovative!

Unless they improve their customer service no one is gonna buy a moto phone here in India. I had a bad experience with them a few years ago... and i made sure none of my friends/relatives bought a moto phone. I am sure there would be many like me. They were unbelievably arrogant and inefficient back then.. wonder if its any different now..

Well Done! Moto LOOL. Apple and Steve jobs get the same treatment what they did to others. Someone over here said , "I think they should focus more on innovation than these marketing digs. " Just think of what Apple did to hide their design flaw on iphone4(Antenna gate problem). Squeeze every phone on the planet to death and declare they too suffer from signal loss. Apple themselves have to blame for this.

i think motorola is trying really hard. But till now I dont think they have been able to steal the thunder from Apple. Although some of my friends really like their Droid, I think they should focus more on innovation than these marketing digs.
