Bamboo cultivation can be a metaphor for life:
sometimes you have to pay attention, others you have to leave it alone to thrive by itself.

phyllostachys eighteen: phone vs. phone

Googlephone vs. the iPhone? Are you kidding?

I've seen some interesting comparisons in my time...but this is like comparing a skateboard to a Toyota Camry - they both travel the same highway...but one provides access to markets the other doesn't.

If people are still looking at the iPhone as, well, a "phone", they're way missing the bigger picture: iTunes, YouTube, oodles of customers walking through iMac and Macbook-laden Apple Stores, non-Apple users getting used to Apple's flawless product development strategies. The iPhone is so not just a phone - it's an introduction to a whole product cycle - it's so more of a "halo" product than Saturn's Sky or Pontaic's Solstice...or even Microsoft's Halo 1st, 2nd and third generation games, which were designed to win folks over to the Xbox.

Still think Googlephone is an Apple competitor? :-)
