$100 Challenge: iPhone 4S: Windows Phone live from CES 2012

[metalliholic]

Saying your are just as good as one of the best phone around is a good thing

[dannydathua]

@metalliholic best phone around? wanna have a drop test? LOL

[metalliholic]

@dannydathua nevermind :( lol j/k

for real i dont think i would want to drop any electronic nowadays.

[Loydon5]

its weird that microsoft uploaded themselves losing

[IWSFODD]

@Loydon5 Because Microsoft is no BS Company. They are true and fair Competitor. They accept the lost to get better.

[aaubball12bballin]

Galaxy nexus smokes both of these

[iJoshJWard]

"We kind of tied" Thats the Microsoft way of saying 'I lost.'

[329630948]

My RAZR bit this two phone in just 11s .Please send me $100.

[gaba922]

you'r doing it wrong microsoft

[hellobelljar]

"You did get it up faster" #thatswhatshesaid

[azadajju]

Hahaaa... An Indian beat Windows Phone...

[dxz8126]

iPhone wasn't done, the thing is that the iOS upload the image in the backgroung, so when it still uploading it says "Done". Windows Phone actually won this! thumbs up so everyone can see this!

[arafetkanso]

I didnt get it , you do a 100 for those who beat you , and you put it on youtube !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VFXPLReloaded]

I did the challenge in the same time using my iPad 2

I won :)

[rhymeforever]

@TeleMac24 opinion much? Apple hasn't done shit with iOS. Same boring thing as always.

[nextblain]

hell yeah indian fingers 

[whycai]

In terms of pic uploading. If we do this for a another application, iPhone 4S will definitly fail. iOS 5 has only built in with twitter intergation. Lets say shot and upload a pic to WhatsApp...How about it?

[TeleMac24]

The iPhone 4S is definitely better than a Windows Phone.

It'a better UI and it's a lot faster !!!

[Yarach]

@TeleMac24 no, it is not a lot faster. They are the same. Better yet. New Windows Phone phones have better specs than an iPhone. It depends just on what you like best. I would rather have an Windows Phone instead of an iPhone. I hav had them both. ~ True Story

[trum390]

no 1



[TehAgentE]

This campaign is not showing Windows Phone is better then all these extremely competitive Phones, It's showing that WP is keeping up with the status-quo in Phoning, and not falling behind in speed and feature progressiveness, which is contrary to popular belief. :)

[fraizemonkey]

No. You didn't kinda tie. You kinda lied.

[rockindoodcm]

@fraizemonkey They did kinda tie. Infact the Windows phone started the upload first. The iphone won however because of it's duel core processor. Later this year when deul core wp models come out it will be a diffrent story.

[BORDNER696]

the indian is a gypsy....The iphone was uploading the picture in the backround.

[tazzkyBEAR]

iPhone 4s did not upload first, the indian said it uploaded where he didn't know it is actually still uploading the photo in the background.

[shipaku08]

No, if you see near the beginning, Ben has his hand down, and the Indian dude has it where he can look at it and was able to put his hand up first, that's why he won. Just my theory.

[lustosamatheus]

@MrBruceXLi haters gonna hate. Period.

[iAmTheSquidThing]

Kudos to Microsoft for openly publishing the instances in which their product lost the challenge. It still comes out looking like a worthy competitor to the iPhone.

And the fact that Microsoft is competing on the basis of actual workflows, rather than just single task benchmarks suggest that after all these years they're finally getting the whole user experience design thing.

[dong2512]

@iAmTheSquidThing agreed. This gave me even more trust for Microsoft and Windows Phone and I agree with Ben saying that it was a close one. It pretty much was the same in terms of real life usage.

[MrBruceXLi]

Why not see who can make a Skype call faster? Why not see who can transfer a picture via bluetooth faster? Why not see who can do GChat faster? Why not see who can transfer a file from PC to phone faster? Why not see who can transfer an PDF from phone to PC faster? Why not see who can open an ePub faster? Why not...try find a restaurant outside the US faster? why not try find a bus route outside US?

Please stop those kind of nonsense and do your homework and make windows phone more useful.

[rockindoodcm]

@MrBruceXLi All that will come with the apollo update.

[FARISALDHALAAM]

Hey this wasn't a fair !!

The iphone 4S has a 8 MP ccamera

But the HTC Titin II has a 16 MP !!!!

So guess how wins if Ben changed the resolution to 8 MP ??

[Kizipotamus]

I did it along with the video with my ICS Nexus S, and I beat them both by a couple seconds. A Galaxy Nexus would have been even faster.

[Kizipotamus]

@Chucker39 The editing would have made it faster, not slower.

[billyyou100]

"but you did get it up faster" Lol

windows phone!!!

[cankarales]

windows phone. it's just awesome.

[tenxbox]

windows phone super;)

[Rohanmakkar]

now give the Windows Phone to Indian, again he will surely win..

[techatheist]

to me it kind of looks like "Art" is in his camera app allready, while "the wp guy" still had to unlock/launch camera...

[StephenFloydOfficial]

Wow Ben's a really cool guy to still give the guy the $100. The Windows phone actually got to the uploading part first, the iphone just happened to have a better network connection.

[mil0ny]

Lol i knew it was going to be really close.

[MrWembergcarlo]

INDIAN

[JorJorArmany]

2012, year of Windows Phone!

[22Helloworld]

FUCK iPhone! Win Phone is the new <3

[BlazingPuppies]

haha this video got awkward...

[ejlee072006]

apple has twitter intergrated to iphone...

[nyle123nyle]

windows phone would have won but he was using a focus flash... the best is he titan 2

[iNazdel]

acually, the guy doesnt use the windows phone as fast as u could but still awesome job

[juanda950114]

Well done by Microsoft. I doubt Apple would do the same.

[TheAmberFiles]

I own a windows phone, it's great, but needs a lot of work. Thankfully Microsoft is working on making it a great mobile platform. Now, put Skype on WMP and I'll be pleased as punch.

[Harukoozt]

Why are they showing each video twice when all of these videos were in the Day 1 video?

[Harukoozt]

HW are they

[sk8erfreak9242]

that guy was pissed lol

[velthon]

EPICFAIL

[127prats]

This is how a champions shows respect when they lose. Windows Phone made a separate video to show their loss, wow not every company has the balls to do that. Go Window Phone!!

[Dajoma1975]

Who's to say Ben didn't have a slower hand?

[awwsome98]

still think iphone sucks



[Nimac91]

Also notice how calm and slowely Ben is doing it and how the indian is pressing like crazy

[carbiify]

@Nimac91

A loss is a loss.

[sudhar1998]

@Nimac91 please stop criticising the Indians though they are little new to these type of things or they are bad with their accents but if you want to be a good person atleast try to appriciate them

[Nimac91]

@sudhar1998 If you're trying to convince me don't tweet & Youtube comment me at the same time... How the hell could a non Indian do something like that? :O

[sudhar1998]

@Nimac91 dude this is a race/challenge remeber so everyone has to press their phones like crazy.

[Nimac91]

@sudhar1998 Ben doesn't ;)

[Nimac91]

He does know that iOS is always still loading in the background right? So if you post something, you have a little circle on the top still rotating(which means, It's not finished ;))

[wixostrix]

@Nimac91 Same for Windows Phone, we just don't have any indication that the process is happening, but it will say the upload is complete.

[llaease]

Microsoft Rules.

[lanesmerge]

I love my HTC TITAN! Windows Phone is excellent!

[phendrome]

Who cares anyway, you usually think a few minutes after you've taken the picture what you should write.

[wixostrix]

@phendrome lol that is true. but it's good marketing. people like to see challenges

[icyArthur]

This challenge wasn't completely fair as the photo size is obviously different on the two phones. One can win by choosing the lowest quality photo and upload.

[halfingr]

@icyArthur What would be fair is both uploading a 100x100 white .jpg image over wifi.

Besides, that guy was Indian. They all get +10 to computer speed checks. So it was unfair to begin with.

[wixostrix]

@icyArthur You can't change the upload quality with the native app

[lausangio]

I'd still rather have a windows phone ;)

[vinnimin96]

so free advertising for apple from microsoft
