It reminds me of Microsoft organizing a burial for Android when they launched a new Windows Phone version ..

Both are extremely bad reactions at face value but also show how clueless the company can be (at least if you believe it is indicative of the company's mindset)

That was actually a funeral for the iPhone. They even rented a hearse and had pallbearers walking a iPhone casket through the streets of Redmond.

That seems so pathetic in retrospect.

oh indeed iPhone and Blackberry.

Anyway, even if it had been Blackberry and WebOs, it would still have been pretty awful.
