Another reason to go Android?

I nearly bought an iPhone last week, but couldn't quite go through with it. I just couldn't get past the many restrictions + inferior features.

Then I saw this - Google Goggles launched this week is available on all Android phones. Clever stuff. Combined with the ability to see my gmail easily, access my Google maps, calendar and all other stuff totally intuitively means I'm definitely leaning in the Android direction.



But then I read this. And now I'm all confused. The likelihood is that I will be stuck with my painfully slow N95 until it finally keels over + dies or either Apple or Google have mastered total mind control + the decision won't be mine anyway - which ever comes first.

The Sun - an iPhone killer!

The Sun have done what many have dared not to and taken on the iPhone. It's spoof of the familiar iPhone ad uses a similar soundtrack and voiceover and mocks the device by demonstrating how The Sun is superior in celebration of its 40th anniversary.



I know that no telecoms brand would attempt something like this. But The Sun I think can get away with it as it has sufficient distance from the world of telecoms. Also it's undeniable that in some ways + for some people, a newspaper is better than an iPhone.

I think it's going to crack a few smiles, especially with an iPhone backlash imminent (did I say that?) Clever, I like it.
