true, we shall see how apple fares with mobile os... i can't say that their macos is the end all be all though.
i would say linux is closer to being the most stable.
i will agree windows has its quirks.
i use both mac and pc.
i will say the trade off is this. pc's are more widely compatible and have more software available to them than a mac. (running windows on mac doesn't always work either by the way for some things)
BUT the trade off is you have to know how to configure a system, and get into the technical aspect of things.
you don't need much technical experience to run either OS...just if you don't have a lot of technical experience, a PC will most likely give you grief.
crashing on a mobile os is not a very big deal. you restart it...by switch or take the battery out. you lose no data and you're back up in a matter of seconds.
it's not like they crash ALL the time.... mine just about never crashes... when do they crash? when you install software that wasn't made for them.
there unfortunately have been a lot of different components in smartphones over the years and sadly the same program on the same os on different phones can make a big difference.
so don't put all your hopes into an os.... in actuality the processor in a smartphone also plays a role.
no one will know for sure until the iphone is out. My argument is that apple is starting on the wrong foot.
have they not learned from Sony vs. Nintendo?
sony has to raise cost of games cuz their system is way too expensive and their cost for R&D and to produce is putting them in a world of hurt. While Nintendo was smart and can offer (maybe lesser quality graphics) a more (or just as) entertaining system for a LOT less.
It's a bold move for Apple - they know they had a success with overpriced mp3 players....granted they worked. but overpriced. Now they are gonna try their hand at another piece of overpriced hardware.
