Asus Launches World's Fastest Smartphone Comments

I agree with you whole-heartedly there about the software v hardware issue! We've reached a point where the hardware is largely capable of doing most of what we want it to do, and smaller steps in optimizing it won't grind the world to a halt (ISPs excluded!!!).

The issue of software+hardware is one i've ranted on and on about since kingdom come - its why i'm happy to shell out for an Apple product when i come up to MY self-determined upgrade cycle (not Mr Gates'), and also why my Nokia 6233 and Samsung D880 still live peacefully beside my Mac. A good marriage between adequate hardware and well-written software beats the crap out of crappy (no pun intended!) software any day!
