New Tuesday Host: Lamarr youtube.com In today’s video, I cover the Dell Streak, quickly highlight the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, and rant on how I believe that, as much as I love Android, I think they (with the manufacturers) are flooding the market. Your respectful comments are welcomed and appreciated.

IMHO the cause of this Android monsoon is all the fault of US carriers. Instead of just taking the phone Samsung (and other companies) have designed, they have to be fussy and have their own unique design. It the same phone under the hood, what’s the point in having the Epic 4G, Vibrant, Captivate etc. when they’re all just the Galaxy S. You wouldn’t see 3 versions of the iPhone on each carrier!
well the typical consumer isn’t gonna go online to see the differences between phones so in that sense having this many android phones is bad because they might get the crap devices, but for a tech guy, who reads up on all the phones, there gonna see it as diversity, more options on what they want and how they want it, making it a good thing. all in all i think its a good thing becuase it gives everyone another way to express there individuality through there phones. World Peace FTW lolz
@GSCrepresentative Nah that will never happen, but one thing that will keep happening is little fanboys and girls like yourselves trying to argue over which is better. And for what? self gratification? If so you sure are a sad person if knowing that makes you feel better about yourself and or phone.
I love how all the Android fanboys used to cry out and laugh because the iPhone “only” had a 5MP camera. Then when it turned out to be better than all the other Android/Smartphone 7MP and 8MP cameras. Now what are all the new Android phones being released with?? 5MP cameras…… ohhhhhh the irony.
@Greyghostvol1 it’s not that simple. PCs aren’t flooding the market they are just the #1 OS (in terms of sales)and therefore it makes since for manufacturers who want their products to sell to get in with PCs or get out. Since the only real other alternative to PCs are Macs and Apple isn’t going to let Dell, HP, Samsung…….(list goes on) to produce a Apple computer not even in hell.
Android is flooding the market though it may not be directly their fault but wait its 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 3
@Greyghostvol1 Yes, it’s ok.The new one is usable. The Epic 4G Keyboard now is just better since it has 5 rows with a dedicated number row and it has the 4 Android system buttons on the left and the right of the keyboard. This in combination makes a big differrence and offers much better usability in landscape mode, plus the phone offers a 4″ screen, while not being much bigger than the Droid 2 and being lighter (i guess – the Epic weights 15 gramms LESS than the Evo!).
I don’t think it’s that bad, the best devices stand out of the crowd so it’s not so hard to choose from the better phones with android. Plus all these devices push apple out of their high chair and create competition and therefore innovation.
What REALLY annoys me though, is manufacturers putting their phones / devices out with old versions of android, WHY DO IT??
Android has been flooding the market, how are they supposed to see sales on one particular phones when they have phone being release? from everyone except Nabisco and Kellogs.
P.S. thats why i like my iphone
Edit: just kidding, You’re wonderful. keep up the good work.
Edit 2: Ima let you finish but tech waffle has the best youtube channel ever!
@GSCrepresentative
if you take an iphone 4, and actually put all the android phones that came out on top of it, it would be literally buried.

no it is good marketing
I think that Android are great for having less rules in the app market, but also they have let it get onto a way to large range of cell phones

@PainfulCreed Right….there is such thing as 64GB iPhone 4 white……….

@FunnyNewsWeekly Thx! I’ve never been a “knob” before!
@Bsalais15 Then why are you here? When I don’t like a place, I simply leave it.
hahaha you are awesome lol
Android is an awesome format. I have a Samsung Vibrant, but yes I do think its a little overkill. I think they should slow down a bit.
