I know, I just hope it’ll help a bit, with Valve leading by example, porting the Source-based stuff. Photoshop runs in Wine last I heard, too, and there’re always the free alternatives (one of the situations where they genuinely aren’t as good, unfortunately).

Nope and actual focus on providing a great product with features. We have the S3 being compared to the likes of Xperia Z and Butterfly while there is no mention of the One X+ …. let alone the One X

Agreeably HTC were first to the quad core game but Samsung really (I don’t know the right word) ‘decimated’ the entire competition.

Even now I stand disappointed at HTC’s decision for using Snapdragon 600 processors in the new flagship while they should have put out everything on the table with Tegra 4 or Snapdragon 800 for a direct competition with the S4.

Granted the fact that the Snapdragon 600 is a 40% increase over the S4 Pro chipsets but please – nothing can stand up to Quad Cortex A15′s

Copy-cat?

What we have here is ladies and gentlemen is a fine example of un-justifiable stupidity.

Steam won’t make the games magically compatible with Linux. And just as a simple example: there’s no Photoshop for Linux

No gamezzz: kinda true, though hopefully Steam for Linux can shake that up a bit now it’s properly released. No appzzz: oh, how very wrong you are.

Even had it been on HTC’s site, it’s in the Ubuntu colours and using the Ubuntu font, so there’s another giveaway.

Vince, dualbooting makes no sense in the real world. You can’t market a product that has two OS’s. Even if you could, no one would use the inferior one. It’s a nightmare for marketers. Sometimes you’re left to sell a crap product, your job is to stick with it and believe that it’s not crap. Consumers had an odd reaction to WP7 in Nokia phones, but Nokia stuck with it and now they’re in a better state. Ubuntu will go though the same struggle in the mobile OS world, Samsung’s and Apple’s success didn’t just happen overnight.
