uhh... didn't realize this thread had turned into a bloodbath, since I responded to one of the early posts...
Was gonna say "don't fight over symantics" but err, what is there on a forum besides symantics to express things
Well, most manufacturers have managed to make this whole issue invisible to users at the cost of installing a ridiculous 90MB bloatware suite on your PC. And then the connection so artificially slow you're wondering if your data is taking a detour over the internet *FAIL*
Cool would be if phones had an SD slot that ejects the card after pressing a button in the OS, like Mac CD drives won't spit out the CD until its done with it.
I normally hated it not to be able to just yank the CD if the Mac was hanging on bad sectors.
But on phones, it would be nice not having to use your fingernails to get your SD card out...
what was this thread about? Oh eReaders...
I'd like my eReader not to do TOO MUCH... I don't want it to go online everytime I start it, to try and entice to buy more crap. I don't want an eReader to try and sort my library, I can sort my stuff in folders the way I want, tyvm.
That Barns & Noble eReader took so long so start up and do its own thing, by the time I could open my book, I was out of time to read.
I wonder if having an integrated dictionary is part of what makes it so slow.
Symbian might be another reason, or Java, or some bad programming choices. Its not my phone, that's got a 1Ghz processor that seems utterly wasted on this OS.
Just this morning, I got an
email from Samsung with an
offical notice that they're
ending support for Symbian in December! Given that my i8910 is only 1 year old, I hope they provide an option to switch to Android, or at least Windoze Phone 7.
I'd pay them $100 to let me switch it to Android
