Will FCPX be continued?

[Shawn Miller] “Help me understand your point here, I thought it was (initially) that iPhones are more popular than all other smartphones (thus your comment that you’re “almost surprised when I see someone pull one out”). Or, are you really making the case that, of all smartphones over a certain dollar amount, iPhones are the most popular? “

I don’t doubt the iPhone 4S is more popular than any other single phone model. Even if we’re talking about OSs keep in mind iOS 5 is on all 4S, 4, 3GS (which is still available at AT&T) whereas Android is fractured.

This is old but I think it’s typical

This is recent and shows the state of Android OS market share fracture

[Shawn Miller] “I thought it was (initially) that iPhones are more popular “

My first point was that when the iphone first came out people with other smart phones cracked on the iphone and said it was missing this and that.

Kind of like they did with X

People saying it could do what the other phones could do didn’t stop people from buying it in droves.
(It won’t stop them from buying X)

My other point is that sometimes something doesn’t have to be the best to be really popular.

My point about the crew having so many Iphones is that sales numbers don’t tell the whole story.

For example, someone who wants the Iphone but can’t afford one is not the same thing as not wanting one.

When I look at a crew of people with means, money is factored out. They can buy what they want and
most of them have the Iphone.

What people want and can’t afford doesn’t show up in the sales numbers.

To me it’s more accurate to look at if you can afford whatever you want, what do you buy then.

Understand?

[Walter Soyka] ” iPhone 4 on Verizon for $99″

Is that the 4s or just the 4?

I see the fX droid for Free with a contract.

[Craig Seeman]

4 is $99.
3GS is free on AT&T.

[Tony West]

[Tony West]

apples to apples

4s is the newest iphone and the cheapest deal I see on AT is 199

Understand?”

Yes, I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t agree (about the iPhone). I work in a medium sized technology consulting firm. Most of the folks I work with choose Android and Windows Mobile phones (for many reasons I’m sure), but I doubt price is much of a factor.

Is it possible that some people want iPhones but can’t afford them? Sure, but it’s also quite possible that those same people would prefer a Samsung Galaxy IIs or similar Android phone given a choice… and that’s where I have the most trouble with your statement(s). Since we don’t really know what non-iPhone users really want, or would buy if they had the funds, your statement doesn’t have any real weight. So all we have to go on is sales figures.

As to whether or not FCPX will become the most popular NLE… who knows, only time will tell.

Thanks,

Shawn
