- dspillett 13y agoHe may have been asking a genuine question. Given the current thread is about how much you can do for very little money, comparing how a $100 Firefox OS device to a $100 Android one is perfectly valid (though not entirely fair as one of the two is still not officially production ready).
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoI don’t see how it could be anything but snark, as there are no unsubsidized $100 iPhones.
- dspillett 13y agoFair enough, I somehow completely missed the significance of iPhone in the sentence and took it as smartphones in general (of which all the cheap ones are either Android or not-quite-as-smart-phones running something older). But the cheap Firefox OS device to cheap Android device is still a valid comparison that I for one would be interested to see played out.
- nmcfarl 13y agoTrue - but if you buy a ticket on a jetliner with only one engine working (and it says it on the box), people might be curious as to how it compares to the other airlines that also sell tickets on one engine jets…
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoNo, they wouldn’t be curious. No sane person wants to be in a plane crash. Nobody ever says ‘Best plane crash ever, 10 out of 10, would fly again’.
