Well said

The reason why android smartphones are 2 or 3GB of ram is because it's technology is far advanced.

I'll give you an example... The Newest top end smartphones have 2k resolution screens at 5.5+ inches. The Quad core is needed to keep everything efficient and smooth. The ram is to hold to stabilize the framerate and offer more in terms of multi-tasking.

Furthermore, Android is open source which means it can be optimized however you see fit. Is a background service that you don't like that is running and that isn't essential but takes up some space or is a battery hog? Turn it off or remove it completely.

iOS? Stick with it, wait for an update and hope it works out or wait 6 months for a revised phone which you already paid a premium for your 6 month old phone.

1GB of ram is nothing, even if it is super optimized. They're basically saying their vast majority are technologically illiterate to care that they are getting ripped off or that they don't multitask as much because it's either games from the app store or instagram.

The other reason why Android phones come equipped with that much horsepower is because people use the smart ability of the phone to it's potential.

The iPhone is a toy, they are even marketing it that way. Android is basically for business minded people and tech geeks who love to get the most out of it.

There's a reason why the word jailbreak exists in the iphone world. Because you're stuck with what they tell you to do with the phone that you bought. So you need a hack to do the things you can normally do on any other phone.

It's sad, yet people buy into Apple's crap because their marketing is second to none. Remember how Apple used to bash PC's until Microsoft finally decided to take jabs at them and they stopped?

Spreading lies and misinformation is Apple's game. The number of things iOS8 has ripped off from windows mobile, blackberry and android is evident and laughable Of course Apple's core fanbase are too busy in line to notice or care.

The same people who blame PC's when something goes bad because they are unable to maintain it.

Are you familiar with the term PEKBAK?

Dude I own I iphone its garbage doesnt even make a day on moderate use and it has a slow 1.2 dual core processor. And lags all the time this is my 4th replacement. Every major iOS update adds more multi tasking and android features which then exposes iPhones crap hardware. Apps always close for no reason so many safari bugs and wifi/cell reception problems androids always have good wifi cell reception when I dont.

You'd have to have you're head up you're ass if you think iphone runs smoothly with the hardware it comes with. Don't tell me it's okay if apple constantly plays catch up on iOS features with android and is the only phone company that charges more for crap specs. I don't spend more on a pc tower that comes with less memory less processing power less features why the hell do you think it's okay for Apple to do that and get away with it. I won't calm down until you stupid Apple iPhone fanboys stop buying crap for more and letting Apple keep trying to set a horrible standard for the mobile phone industry. Every single iPhone upgrade is the same damn phone, iPhone 6 has like 50p more pixels and .2ghz more processing power ooo plus it says it's one A(#) higher :o and same amount of ram, 3/4 in bigger screen and you guessed it once again a crap small battery. Apple is clearly building a phone for maximum profit not maximum money for features. 1gb of ram is a joke it costs nothing to add 1 more gig or 2 for the plus, would stop so many apps from crashing all the time after every IOS update slowly slows and destroys the phone.

You're rediculous defending of apples garbage phone tactics is a huge reason why I should be mad lol pathetic I've owned a iPhone 4 and I have an iPhone 5 gone through 10 replacements altogether.

Wow. While no one is claiming it's all sunshine and rainbows for Sony, your post is quite misleading. Sony's stock is not valued as "junk". There's no such thing as a "junk" stock rating. You're thinking about their bond ratings, and a "junk" rating simply means it's below a safe investment grade and usually carries a higher yield and thusly more risk than other bonds. There are plenty of Japanese electronics makers that have had their credit downgraded as a result of FX risks, a shaky Japanese outlook and a tough electronics market. Panasonic's bonds are also considered "junk". Are claiming doom for them as well?

Also, Sony stock hasn't stopped trading on Japanese markets. It's trading just fine. It's no longer listed as part of the Nikkei figure. Companies are added and subtracted from indices all the time. And market cap is nothing more than the value of the companies current outstanding stock, which is based on public opinion as opposed to an actual realistic impression of company worth. And the public and stock markets never get it wrong, correct?

Again, no one is saying Sony isn't facing an uphill battle but there isn't a single reputable analyst out there predicting Sony's going to fail. In fact, most analysts have been quite happy with the Sony's restructuring efforts and the forecast is a return to profitability for the company in the next fiscal year.

Every time I read one of these Sony doom talks (and not saying it's you, but in general) I just shake my head. The situation is never as cut and dry as many make it out to be, and the rule in the media is "if it bleeds, it leads". They're so quick to jump all over anything that can be spun as negative and so often don't bother offering any kind of context in their articles.
