I have a sense that the world is a chaos somehow now. Even though the law has been used in every corner of our life, we will still get trapped, not by rope on our feet, but on our minds.
Nowadays the main manufacturers seem to be not really interested on the quality of their products, but only the money in our pockets. In the guise of high-tech, they create new words and tell us a new technology has been used in this product. Of course, price will go up.
Emperor of version number
On the other hand, manufacturers have formed a bad habit of using the numbers to fool our customers. The one who began this bad habit is Google. The web browser, Google Chrome, is quite popular recently. As a new member of web browser family, the first version debuted in 2008. Google created a new way of cheating users – simply changing version number frequently. Now the version number has gone up to 11. It's a pity that Firefox has an interest in this method, too. Firefox planed to accelerate the develop progress. In 2011, Firefox 5 and 6 will show up, while it takes more than 1 year for them to bring out Firefox 4.
King of flagship
It is human nature that one is much easier to learn bad than good. Whether HTC is affected by Google, we cannot figure out independently. But the one thing we can see is every two or three weeks we'll hear HTC has announced a new flagship Smartphone. HTC inspire 4G, HTC incredible 4G, HTC thunderbolt, HTC Desire, etc. (I'm so tired to list all the flagships of HTC, please kill me.>_<!), all are flagships. I have a question for you, HTC! Have you ever read the dictionary? What does flagship mean?
Tricks of Apple legend
Apple did much better than HTC. Apple releases its product quite cautiously to ensure the quality. And whether we like Apple or not, we have to admit, Apple products (like iPhone, iPad, iPod) are ultimately easy to use. However, some bugs of iPhone 4, like the antenna, screen, and the iOS have caused some problems to Apple, too. And every time Apple releases a new product or new version, the problems will get fixed. With a little progress of bug fixing and functions improvement, it will cost customers more money.
As we know, Apple usually announces a new product at a fixed date like in WWDC. That's why there are so many rumors on the release date of iPhone 5. The routine style of Apple has given the customers an expectation that Apple will or should do this at this time this year, too.
