ComputerWorld: Ask a group of high school students what they think of the latest smartphones and cell phones and you'll likely hear a lot of "It's so cool" or "I hate it," with very little in-between.
ive never truly comprehended that either... i look at that situation and think "ill get what they dont have" unless of course the said device is one of few that perform a specific task well.
Well in terms of coolness imo the iphone fell off. Many people think they are the tippy top dog, but since its become casual its lost a majority of its geek appeal. The ipad is next... just more casual consumers thinking they are tech savvy gurus -_-
Not entirely. The iTunes App Store assists Apple as well - and combined with the novelty of touch games and apps, many become excited about the phone. For many, the iPhone is a phone that works - and they don't need the complications Android has.
No sh**? Pshh functionality...who cares about that ... once it's cool. xD
And this is why iPhones are popular. Dumb sheep who only care about how "cool" it looks.
