Facebook Home Is A Flop | Business Insider
After we reported the news about the First’s price drop, one source familiar with Facebook employees’ thinking on Home said our headline, “HTC’s Facebook Phone Is Clearly a Flop,” was “sadly, very right.” Another source with knowledge of the HTC First sales wouldn’t provide numbers, but did hint they weren’t exactly flying off the shelves at AT&T stores.

Please stop fighting about your smartphone
Please Stop Fighting About Your Smartphone | Wired.com
Do you like Android? You should, it’s amazing. iOS? Wow, what a great platform, no wonder it started a revolution. Windows Phone? Seriously, it’s got a remarkable and beautiful interface. BlackBerry? There are plenty of great reasons people love it. And no matter which platform you adore, it’s shockingly possible to both have a preference and respect that other people may prefer an entirely different device. I know. Totally weird. But true.
Nobody cares what kind of smartphone you believe in. It’s not a religion. It’s not your local sports team even. Stop being a soldier. You are not a soldier. You are just wrong. Shut up.

Nicholas Carlson: ‘Android Owners Aren’t Real Smartphone Owners‘ | Daring Fireball
The headline is extreme, as mandated by Business Insider’s house style — intended to provoke Android enthusiasts who are real smartphone users — but the gist of his theory is what I’ve thought all along about the seemingly odd discrepancy between Android’s market share and Android’s usage share.

A crazier prediction: iPhone Plus is real, and huge
A crazier prediction: iPhone Plus is real, and huge | Marco.org
An iPhone Plus almost as big as a Galaxy Note isn’t ideal for many people, but it doesn’t need to be quite that large to accommodate a 4.94” screen. It’s clear that other manufacturers have found designs and techniques to make larger-screened phones require smaller bezels. Apple could achieve similar results and shrink the “forehead” and “chin” even further, limited primarily by the size of the Home button and the desire to keep the forehead and chin equal height.
A 4.94”-screened iPhone doesn’t sound too ridiculous these days.
