calm down. i said "a major reason is because of jobs' death. (period, space) plus the 4s..." never said there was a delay BECAUSE of the 4s. that was an extra tidbit.

 

[ManBearPig618]

Plus implies the 4S contributed to the delay. That is completely illogical.

Probably you are right some days ago but after the iFlop presentation you are not that much right for one reason.
iPhoners is really disappointed from the iFlop and they need a new device, what is the best device if you don't want an iFlop?

A Samsung GS2, but what about the successor of GS2?

IMHO this is the best time to present the phone, iPhoners are disoriented, its time to hit them

Exactly my point.. The release of the 4S wouldn't cause or contribute to a delay.

Plus implies the 4S contributed to the delay.

already clarified to everyone that that's not what i meant.

AT&T Alone Sees 200,000 iPhone 4S Preorders in First 12 Hours, Their Most Successful iPhone Launch Ever - Mac Rumors

I honestly dont care about sales but business doesnt stop moving... Just hope the release date really hasnt been changed as well as the announcement. I already lost two friends to the 4s due to the lack of official news and delay on the Nexus announcement :/.

Update: A Samsung spokesperson issued a follow up statement to CNET, confirming speculation that the reveal was postponed out of respect, following the passing of Steve Jobs. "We believe this is not the right time to announce a new product as the world expresses tribute to Steve Jobs's passing," the spokesperson explained.

I am very much a Jobs/apple fan but it makes no sense to me to postpone a launch of a totally unrelated device from an unrelated company because of his death. The iPhone just launched after he died. I would think THAT may have been delayed to show respect and not the "business as usual" attitude of their leader's passing.

I think Nexus was looking for an excuse to build up their stock of the phones (so that something like the Bionic being in so short supply at Costcos would not be an issue). Just my 2c.

At the end of the day the stingy companies only really care for money. Call me what you want but Apple was not going to postpone the iphone4s because of this, Jobs passing away will actually make the phone sell better that it already was...

Now as for Google and Samsung, same goes for them. They can't announce the Nexus or ICS while every channel and every internet site is still talking about Jobs, its common sense.

Tim is sad now but when he sees the money rolling in his eyes will open wide. Its messed up but thats the way it is in life. Its all about money to big companies. Why do you think Apple announce a 4s instead of a 5? Money, get people to buy now then buy later.

See what I did their hahaha, I didnt take sides.

It's a little known fact that the Freemasons are huge investors in Apple pulling the strings behind the scenes. They decided that nothing would be able to hype the 4S more than the death of Steve Jobs (which they orchestrated). This would also serve to delay and undermine the Samsung/Google alliance ideally costing them market share by undermining the launch of what is turning out to be one of the, if not the largest Android release of the year.

Since the preceding statement contains about as much truth as half the things which have been posted today, i will decree it as accurate.

discuss!

The only thing money gets you is inanimate things and soulless beings. Happiness must come from nothing and within. Zenly.

Its smart of them to delay everything. They want the spotlight for themselves and not share it with Apple or the passing of Mr. Jobs. Sucks cause I can not hold the excitement anymore!

 

[Scottatron]

Just means less time between being announced and released....

 

[edoublediz]

I am just glad they released a statement. I can live with official statements. Trust me I am literally dying for the real deal info on this phone but, it is there phone if they don't want to have a big shindig release party because of some crazy event that could not have been imagined, so be it, it is there company! I just like to be kept in the loop. I qpplaud the official statement. When you guys get multibillion $$ companies to run , you can do whatever you feel is right.

Maybe this is because of immaturity or just plain ignorance but there is a lot of completely disrespectful people in this thread and others as it would seem. Maybe because you're not old enough to understand either.

Steve Jobs to many, Android users, iOS users, Palm users and on and on WAS almost very much a god. He would not have wanted that himself most likely but it is what it is. This isn't just about Android vs Apple, this is about a cult-like figure among tech nerds passing away and a lot of people literally spitting at his coffin with insensitive and immature remarks.

Imagine Google going on as planned, a few links to threads like this one, haters throwing more fuel on the fire, media covering it, yeah, how about making Android and Google look evil beyond your wildest dreams.

Imagine an Android device user but also a vivid Steve Jobs fan read a thread like this. Would you blame that person if he entirely switched back to iOS forever or flat out stayed with it, out of spite and disgust from certain people in this thread and others? I wasn't going to switch from my Thunderbolt and Xoom but I know a few people who will, entirely out of respect for Steve Jobs. Heck, maybe I will buy one anyway. I for one will miss the passion Steve Jobs had about everything he did. No other CEO has come close in my opinion.

You are right, they know the POWER and origin. Smart for them to bow down.

Dribble...we all go sometime. The guy redefined how we communicate and our lives...as a civilization... just like Henry Ford. Time marches on. History will do him the justice he deserves.
