Any idea/guesses as to when/if Apple will add Swype to their phones?
Issues with my left hand limit function, so I have gotten used to and quite good at using Swype.
I have a Motorola DroidX and it has served me well for about a year, BUT, I really, really want an iPhone.
Like most such "So-and-so's sales beat Apple's..." headlines, all one has to do is be patient. The truth always comes out in the end, when the competitor "phases out" their new "iPhone killer" product and drops it from their line. As you point out, the real story is in the profit-and-loss statements from the company's officers, not the bullshit that emerges from the tech press' so-called journalists.
The problem with these headlines is that they use statements made by people who have every reason to lie. They're in the Sales and Marketing departments, not the Finance and Auditing departments, where truth is valued and must be adhered to.
But even though they're paid to prevaricate, these hacks are not stupid. They're basically writing advertising copy, not a term paper. They know that the only headline word/phrase that exceeds "Apple" for eyeball draw, is "Sex Scandal" coupled with the name of a well-known politician. If they could somehow position their new product sales figures press release next to an article about some politician paying for a BJ in a gay bar, or getting caught in a threesome with a whore and a sheep, you know they would.
BTW, no offense or disparagement intended to the S&M individuals personally. They're just doing the job they're paid to do, and I understand that. But we gotta call a spade a spade, or as a buddy used to say, "it's a f*&%@ing shovel".
