I’d like to start a small discussion with JAMM’s Editors and with everyone here at the site.  Ever since July 2008 when the iPhone 3G was released and the entire world was set on its Smartphone ear, everyone and their brother has been releasing what they call an iPhone Killer.  Google’s done it. Dell’s done it. HTC’s done it (more than once recently with both the Incredible and the EVO); but have they truly released a device that will cause Stevie J. and all of Cupertino to hang their heads in Ho-Ho shame (you know… they kind of shame/depression that makes you want to skulk off to some dark room and eat a couple cases of Ho-Ho’s…)?

I say no. Not even close…

However, I do believe an iPhone killer exists…and Apple is the only one that’s made it.  The iPhone 3G killed the original iPhone. The iPhone 3G S didn’t kill the iPhone 3G (but it put a serious hurtin’ on it…).  The iPhone 4 and iOS have certainly killed the iPhone 3g/3G S.

The Droid Incredible

The latest version iPhone is always what drives current iPhone users [that upgrade] to drop their current iPhone and take the plunge.  The latest version iPhone always creates a great deal of churn within the mobile devices community on how “this,” “that,” or “the other” feature either makes the device; or is what is going to be the last nail in everyone device’s coffin. The latest version iPhone is always what drives current manufacturers to come up with their latest version “iPhone Killer.”

The HTC EVO

You have to admit, some of those competing devices are really pretty awesome.  If you take a look at what the HTC HD2 (WinMo), the Droid Incredible and the HTC EVO (both Android devices) can do, you’ll see some pretty decent efforts on an (the only) operating system that has a decent chance of taking Apple on, head to head… provided Google opens their eyes, takes their head out of the sand and addresses the MAJOR REASON WHY Apple is dominating the MP3 Player /Smartphone /Tablet space.

The HTC HD2

So, ok kids… what do YOU think?  Is the iPhone 4 the new iPhone killer?  Does an iPhone killer even exist? If so, who makes it, how much does it cost, and where can I get one?  Join us in the discussion below and give us your thoughts!
