Dear Samsung

Dear Samsung,

I’d like to establish something first before I get things off my chest.

I respect Samsung. They’re a great company, their products are great and their foundation, what they stand for, is even greater. I have only one product from Samsung: a microwave (well, my dad has a Note, but it’s not really ‘mine’). The microwave is great, although I wish they’d put the numeric keypad on it, giving me more options than just “One Minute cook.” They have the dial and all, but it’s not as efficient as using a keypad. Back to the topic…

Anyways, Samsung, you are a powerhouse company for all the good reasons. I like that about you. But, for the past two years or so, you’re becoming a problem.

You’re becoming more like Apple…

You release another Samsung Galaxy S5 and it barely has any changes, really. Sure, a scanner here and there, some specification changes, but that’s it. Nothing major occurred to your phone – and it’s scaring me.

We all know that Apple just keeps on selling the same thing, just refurnished. But Samsung, being a company of innovation, starts selling the “same thing” again, then we have a problem.

All I can say to you Samsung: please do better. We love your phones and your tablets and all your other gizmos and gadgets, but please, don’t turn into something so painfully and utterly scary.

That’s coming from me, a fan of your work, and a plethora of the Android community (I can only imagine).

iOS 7 and Nausea

I would like to apologise from the bottom of my heart for not posting in the last few days. I have been busy with school work. tPenguinLTG recommended that I create some kind of schedule to give my readers something to refer to, so I will. At some point, it’ll be posted on the About page, but I’ll notify you on my Message from the Admin. Thanks for your patience and for staying with Tech Gum!

As we all know, Apple released their new operating system for their mobile devices: the iOS 7.

It has been named the largest OS update recorded for the company. Many have jumped into iOS 7, but did not think of the possible consequences.

Reports say that iPhone users feel nauseated while using their device with the updated iOS 7, probably because of the new graphical effects (zoom, change in brightness etc). Hilarious!

I applaud Apple for giving them more hate as they already have. I’d say 2025, they’ll disappear from the market and into oblivion. I also would like to congratulate Apple users for finally getting an Android. That’s right. ANDROID! Good job!

If you have the iOS 7 and you’ve experienced the same thing, leave a comment below! I love comments!

My Thoughts on Microsoft and Nokia

About a week ago, Microsoft purchased Nokia for $7.6 billion. This is their way of entering the smartphone competition. Now that they have such a prominent and well-known company under them, what’s next?

Android’s KITKAT 4.4

Android recently announced that their next version of Android for all Android phones will be KITKAT 4.4.

As much as everyone would have thought it would be Key Lime Pie, or some other dessert name that begin with “k”, it seems fair that it would be KitKat. Think about it…

Nestlé is already a household name, and the fact that they’re using a very popular chocolate bar just amps it up even more. Plus, it’s kind of katchy (Ba-dum tssk). Anyways, I can’t wait for it to come out. I only hope that it will improve my phone’s battery life because right now, it’s not as good as I expected.

Also, I love how they purposely mocked Apple with a commercial of their own. Thank you Android!

Keep Chewing!
