I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

The "new" features for the iphone? SMS, Video recording, Connection Sharing and Copy/Paste?
What is this, 2002?
Want a great cellphone? Try the Sony XPERIA X1, Any Nokia N9* set, Jack, LG makes some great phones and really, the best handsets right now are the HTC Touch series. Touch HD, Touch Diamond.
The Touch HD has a VGA CMOS in front for Video Calls, a 5MP cam (vs. iphone 3MP), MicroSD expansion (about $4USD/GB for unlimted storage), a longer battery life, a better screen and SMS, copy/paste, internet sharing and it can MULTITASK.
