I wonder...

How many computer companys are going to jump on the bandwagon of makeing smartphones. Toshiba, Apple, and pretty soon Dell. Im not saying its a bad thing, I think we need competition, I just wonder how stable these phones are going to be. And I know if these phones are going to be touch screens, the first thing people are going to say is "its no iphone". Thats not the point, Apple was the first but I think its great that others are joining in and trying to put there mark on the industry. I look forward to it. 😁
