Unless we see some new advancements in processors and batteries, I feel with the iPad (overheating, low wifi reception) and iPhone (low battery life) that Apple has pushed the present hardware to it's technical limits with features.
We may get new and improved iPhones soon, but I feel it won't be a radical change in new features unless the size increases a bit to accept a larger battery.
Apple has pressed the petal to the metal and there isn't any more...
Not sure the iPad issues are accurate. I have had mine since saturday, and don't have any over heating or low receptions issues at all after hours and hours of constant use. I think these are just hype. how many of the people that have reported these issues actually have an iPad???

Also note, the charging issues are probably the folks trying to use the iPad on a saturated hub or a non hi powered port. How many people actually know that the USB ports on the iMac's keyboard are not high powered...
And it's well known that the cheap laptops are not built to spec for the USB standards for power consumption. I am guessing that the fact that the iPad refuses to charge would be a protection mechanism built in to protect it from these cheap devices...

Nice attempt at FUD.
Yes there is a WiFi issue but a fix has been made and others fixes are presumably in the works. But no one who has reviewed the iPad thinks that it 'overheats'. Look here for a comprehensive review.

I'm getting really tired of the way in which you just casually make stuff up and set it out as if it's fact. At best, you are a serial exaggerator.
I've been reading iPad coverage for days, everything I can get my hands on including in-depth reviews, hardware assessments etc. and I've never heard of any "overheating" problems. Certainly, the way you casually mention it as if it's a known and widespread thing is completely disingenuous.
Similarly, the iPhone battery is one of the best rated batteries in a smart phone bar none, and Apple in general is tops in battery technology for these kinds of devices. Again, to casually mention it the way you do as if it's some kind of known and widespread problem is just wrong. There is no such problem with the iPhone battery. You misrepresent everything here and you do it on other posts over and over again. Either you are just not very skilled in communicating your ideas, or you are purposely trying to fudge the facts.
You can't just off-handedly say stuff and expect to be believed when you have nothing to back it up and a history of sputing such never-ending hyperbolic nonsense.
I think that's probably explained by the fact that the bulk of OS market share is controlled by corporate IT departments, and the way Apple deal with announcing their product pipeline (i.e. they don't!) is always going to make it less likely that companies will switch to OS X.
I can't remember where, but I seem to recall seeing that OS X's share of the home market (i.e. that which the consumers of the iPhone can influence) is gaining ground reasonably well, though I'm prepared to stand corrected by someone who can find numbers suggesting otherwise.
According to Apple, the consumer market dwarfs the corporate market. And you seem to agree that most iPhones are owned by Windows users, who are NOT switching to Apple.

But how else is he supposed to troll?
Anyway, is it just me or are Apple and Google running away with this market? It seems that Nokia has nothing exciting to offer, and RIM is still looking to milk their antiquated OS/hardware paradigm.
How would you have phrased it? More important, given the way it has been phrased, what do you think the results mean? Why are they 'loosey-goosely?'
If you don't know/can't say, move along.
I think Josh B. is right here, "best" is a remarkably broad term. I'm always slightly suspect of surveys where I can't see how the question was actually asked/phrased and where it was asked.
For example, did they take the survey at the exit of an Apple store? Odds are iPhone would come out well in a survey of people there! Stand outside the doors of the company where I work (where we are all handed Blackberries), RIM would probably come off pretty well.

It is not just hype, and plenty enough folks are having real problems. Indeed, Apple has put out a knowledge base (?) article which offers troubleshooting help and suggestions.

There are multiple aspects of the product. I don't know if some nebulous "Best overall" criteria was asked about, or whether the questions concerned best customer support, best hardware, best software, or some combination.
And I will move along or stick around based upon my desires, not yours. Your command is extremely nasty. Please never again tall me what to do.

It is not just you. My recollection is that you are correct.
Nokia leads with a huge margin, followed by RIM. Apple is in third place.
The trends are that Android is growing fast, while Apple's market share seems to be holding steady. RIM is starting to shrink. I forget what is happening to Nokia, because they are a small part of the USA market.
For a man who's whole approach to posting yesterday seems to be aggressive name calling (Troll's if memory serves), he appears to have pretty thin skin!

"Best" is pretty loosey-goosey. I wonder what the actual questions and responses were.

Yeah, those Cupertino hippies....
This is what Apple is all about. This news comes as no surprise.
June is just around the corner.
Always remember folks...
85% of all statistics are made up!
Did you make that up, or do you have a source/cite?

NEW RESULTS: I surveyed 4 people in my office - 100% prefer iPhone!!! Amazing!

So I don't understand your original comment.

Since when did a sample size of 310 dictate reliable data?
The low sample rate should yield a high error rate. Do we know what the claimed error rate is?
