13 November 2013
Essay #4 Prompt #1 iPhone Vs. Galaxy The society that we live in today is revolved mostly around technology.

It was founded in 1976 and is now one of the biggest and most well-known computer companies in the world (“The History of Apple Inc.”). They are known for their innovative technology that is usually the first of its kind to hit the market (“The History of Apple Inc.”).

    One of Apple’s products, the iPod, goes way back in the 1970s. Kane Kramer, a British inventor, came up with the idea of a portable music player in 1979. But it wasn’t till 2000 when the iPod team at Apple started designing and creating the actual iPod. The iPod is a portable music player that allows you to listen to thousands of songs on the go. The iPod has now developed to an iPod touch where you can still listen to music, but you can also download many different apps and games. The original iPod was launched in October of 2001. From there, Apple has created various types of iPods such as the iPod Classic, Mini, Shuffle, Nano, and now the Touch. Another one of Apple’s products is the iPhone. The iPhone concept came up in 2000 by John Casey, and Apple worker. He first called it the Telipod, which was a combination of an iPod and a telephone together.

    I believe most would agree that although the iPhone was not the first smartphone on the market, in 2007 it definitely impacted the technology and even the business world. Wrapping together every function and feature possible into one package, the iPhone set individuals on a craze to get their hands on the next best thing. I can still recall people doing whatever humanly possible, whether it be winning a contest through the radio or internet, just to say they owned the first iPhone. After that, it was almost as though you were in the VIP section of the technology universe. Today, people immediately assume you own the Apple product, and are somewhat looked down upon like some peasant using anything otherwise. Less than a year later, the “smartphone wars” began as Google introduced the Android; the open source smartphone platform linked with the world’s largest search engine website. As an Android advocate, the debate still arises drawing disputes among fellow friends and colleagues as I teeter-totter between the pros and cons of both devices.…
