Better than android? I have a new windows HTC phone I've been testing and it's terrible. Plus, customers just don't buy them. Steve lies, it's not even close to being better.


It's like saying PC is better than Mac, just false.

Steve actually likes the Apple phone. This is a huge marketing coupe for Apple. I'll bet no one else at Apple prefers it.

You all wanna know why Steve Wozniak liked this phone so much...one word.

HUNGRY.

Microsoft and Nokia are HUNGRY to make a great product and experience.
Something APPLE really needs to watch carefully lest their $100B in the bank makes them as lazy as the mobile sales guys.

windows phone is the best mobile OS avaiable. I can facebook chat with my voice and it is built right into the OS. I see tons of phones day in and day out in my IT job. Windows phone is gorgeous, but just like other platforms, if you buy the low end model then yes, it might not seem as good. Check out the Lumia 900 - often rated above iPhone and currently in the top 5 phones list on Cnet, and the #1 device at CES 2012. eat my shorts.

I am saddened to see that Woz couldn't just compliment Microsoft without taking a dig at them in the same breath.

The fact that your only argument that Windows Phone tops all other mobile OS's is due to Facebook Chat integration into the OS saddens me. That feature may be a good reason for you to stand your ground but my phone's OS has a built in phone and SMS feature! I don't have to worry about Facebook's privacy issues when I talk to people... :)

@ Ashleigh Allsopp
Why not write everything Woz said like, "apps looks so much better on Windows Phone than on IOS or Android". He didn't only take jabs at Android, he took some at IOS.

I doubt you've been testing it to any extent if you've come to that conclusion this fast. The windows phone works great for many that have tried it, and has some of the highest satisfaction ratings you'll find out there. It is not that hard to beat an Android device in useability for the average user. Most people don't need all of the bells and broken whistles that Android provides. They just want a phone that keeps them in contact with the outside world and runs a few games and has some decent apps. No way in hell is my dad gonna need access to a couple hundred thousand apps when all he needs is email, web, a simple point and shoot camera, and phone service on a device that last a day and a half to two days on a charge, and does not crash every time he wants to show a co-worker a picture of his grandson (pointing at you LG Android phones). If Android is your cup of tea. Good for you. But it is a horrible user experience for many others who do not need that depth in a phone.

The only reason people are not buying Windows phones is because providers are not pushing them. AT&T didn't start selling any Windows devices until the Nokia advertising campaign. If that was done from the start, it would be a completely different story. That and people like you badmouthing them without any knowledge on how to use them. It is not an Android phone, and will not work like one.

"Just for looks and beauty I definitely favor the Windows Phone over Android"

"....I'm just shocked, I haven't seen anything yet that isn't more beautiful than the other platforms"

"Intuitive and beautiful"

"it's makes me feel 'Oh my gosh, I'm with a friend not a tool'" (In regards to the animations and graphics)

"I just really like the experience and will be carrying the Windows Phone everywhere"

He also notes how apps look just "more beautiful than on Android or iPhone"

I get the feeling most of Woz's capital gains come from AAPL and MSFT.. not so much from GOOG

Microsoft Hired an Apple person? that's bs, that's like saying Samsung, HTC and everybody else Hired away to make a phone with more advanced hardware then the iPhone.

Thats also like saying googled Hired someone from apple to copy, Loads of absolute BS.

Pretty much stuck on his old Mac vs Windows days isn't he now.

never the less least he can somewhat admire other's work.

A PC is better than MAC,

As long as Linux is installed on the PC.

No Windows sucks..

You have been duped by the microsoft advertising gimmick.

The Windows NT kernel which ALL Microsoft operating systems have at its core is based on Windows 98 technology.

No thanks!

Based on Windows 98 tech? Huh. Here i was thinking that they stopped selling DOS based operating systems 10 years ago. So Windows 7 is not using NT kernel and is running on DOS 7? Now the name makes sense!

Windows 7 is NT 6.1 to be percise. NT 6.0 was Windows Vista. NT 6.2 will be Windows 8

Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993. It was a powerful high-level-language-based, processor-independent, multiprocessing, multiuser operating system with features comparable to Unix. It was intended to complement consumer versions of Windows that were based on MS-DOS. NT was the first fully 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 are effectively Windows NT, although they are not branded using that name.


Windows NT introduced its own driver model, the Windows NT driver model, and is incompatible with older driver frameworks. With Windows 2000, the Windows NT driver model was enhanced to become the Windows Driver Model, which was first introduced with Windows 98, but was based on the NT driver model.[17] Windows Vista added native support for the Windows Driver Foundation, which is also available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and to an extent, Windows 2000.

Good luck and again,

No thanks!
