legal fire upon Samsung Steve Jobs and pals accused the company of slavish ly copying the iphone and ipad pointing to similarities in design icons and even packaging CNET's has advised me to have a lawyer present for this next bit but let's be honest Apple had a point these phones were blatant galaxy s3 crammed in all these bizarre apps that are so weird you'd have to be the kind of person who eats breakfast with their toaster to use them all you know I've never loved you it's processing power wasn't noteworthy it only had a few buttons and its tiny monochrome screen could only handle four

you for the office this made the iphone 4 particularly impractical for left-handed folks but hey maybe lefties don't really feature in apple's vision of the future geniuses reason Apple wall cast your mind back to two thousand four when it was predicted that apple would soon be crushed by increasingly sophisticated low price ipod rivals like the dell DJ though I think we can all be glad that that never happened I wanted to explore the science behind smartphone passion why do online discussions about android or iOS so frequently turn aggressive but as it turns out grasping the intricacies of

weren't interested welcome back to our 500 of Sega's everything must go dreamcast price crash we still have 150,000 units left and I've just been told that if you order now you will get me thrown in I've been told that illegal so why not pick up the phone it dawned on them that by removing the key feature of their product they could create something much more exciting an ingenious moment of discovery that we've been unable to replicate boosting the gadgets popularity by hiring young couples to walk around Tokyo listening to the Walkman and presumably looking dead trendy a nice idea that I suspect would work less well in cold unfriendly London oh this called the phony war of yeah sure sorry me Tech was adored by businesses who saw a way to be in touch with employees 24-7 yes Hans boobie yes let's talk business like Bri is famous for one feature that big businesses are absolutely crazy for security Sorry mate you're not getting in look seriously Luke yes Luke yeah he's doing it again but then it clicked samsung had made sure that no matter where you are in the world or how much cash you had to spend there was a galaxy gadget for you it did raise questions though about how exactly Samsung comes up with new phones 5.3 is size on the screen but what is the clock speed 2 gigahertz and we'll call it the samsung galaxy legs s say there are so many Galaxy devices that animating them all has killed my video producer yes I need a new one because it's all look just someone quickly all right Oh see if you've got one in blue because it will match my eyes sense also featured HTC's famous clock widget which tells you what the weather's like where you are I've never really understood the appeal of that one hey excuse me I'm sorry ah joong what the weather's like forgot my phone oh no that's one I'm sorry I guess 10 G's boy have you seen my family in short the s3 broke the One X like Carthaginian general Hannibal shattered the Roman legions at the battle of the trivia look we can do it if we green screen the river and the Numidian cavalry we have the Romans played by extras about a thousand lots of catering then on my signal the animal handlers released the war elephants across the river for the big climax and scene be careful yeah it was more secure than windows 98 though could be thrown to the odd virus and certainly wasn't above occasionally crashing causing you to lose all your prep and featured security pop-ups so annoying that they could hobble even the most futuristic operating system the project took off with a shorter name and a few years later we got our first look at the xbox which was shown off looking like a massive silver X it's a good job they changed it because that design would have made for a problematic sequel sequel to

fine was intended as an offering to a great and terrible God known only as and if the iPad was a lumbering Tyrannosaurus the Nexus 7 was the Velociraptor smaller but just as lethal oh cool a nexus 7 with iOS becoming more open and interconnected it feels like Apple is suddenly much more relaxed which is weird this iphone is terrible it doesn't make calls a battery stopped charging I don't know how but wider its ecosystem the more money Apple can make and the more valuable data it collects though we do hope it doesn't use this irresponsibly in the future luke westaway your home tells us you spent the weekend in your underwear eating cereal straight from the box it's time for you to invest in a bowl and trousers get out of Barry's trouser warehouse 5,000 square feet of trousers trouser international game has bemoaned the comparatively high price of Sony's machine especially in the UK he'll might think this was cheating but what beats did was spotted gap in the market products for

just that and I had woken up no oh I just weird dream about this horrible little lap dog had these tiny little buttons and these Tony Fadell who led the ipod's development was brought in by Apple having shot the concept of a better mp3 player around to other tech companies you wouldn't want to be the CEO that passed on that one well use this ipod business looks familiar you turned it down sir separately better off investing in a clone army oh yes the grand clone army in 2002 sales hit 10 million then 42 million in 2005 adjusting for inflation that should have made apple a grand total of two thousand dollars in fact that can't be right two thousand and then at that point yeah 10 by free I did the point one but you haven't you know not know a lot of money access to late and will never know what kind of wonderful devices could have been created had it embrace Android earlier unless we change history by building a time machine this is experiment 1 i'm going back to find out what

world gamers worried that having two things to look at would prove distracting or that prodding with the stylus would take all the challenge out of tougher games oh can I use that you go to use the joystick like everyone else that's just cheating meanwhile the d/s is two screens microphone and touch interface birth to slew of excellent adventure games while non-game software turned the d/s into a cookbook and a portable library it seemed like there was nothing it couldn't do a Nobel Peace Prize a papal knighthood OBE Oscars Tony's and the first games console on Mars tell me des what's next
