Select attachment Choose Transfer icon Choose 'Open In...' Select app Quote:
Choose icon in bottom left of screen Choose Transfer icon Choose Email photo (or Message, or Tweet) I don't think you can 'Open In...' to a different app, you have to switch to the app and import the photo. Android is clearly more flexible that iOS, I don't think anyone would argue against that. iOS has been designed to make the most common tasks easy, the downside being that less common tasks are sometimes tortuous. |

Also, why do you consider the tight integration with iTunes and the iCloud as something that would outweigh the flexibility for Android users? Android devices have seamless integration with Google's Play, Drive and cloud services. Graham |

And therein lies the problem - apple decides what should be common, not the user! If I want my photos to go to Dropbox, not facebook, that's my choice to make.

ios has been designed to get money from itunes and not for sideloading files, transfering files, moving files, or do anything else but buying things from itunes and app store...

I guess I just don't do a lot of data transferring. Not on my phone, anyhow. So far the SMS notifications is the only thing that I would really find useful.

Though I don't base buying decisions on public popularity, I do pay attention when even the professionals I know -- the ones who have made their living from Apple for decades -- are now thoroughly annoyed and casting about for alternatives.
Pro musicians are talking about Cubase again, probably because it's one of the few original DAWs to have survived which are still cross-platform. Ableton Live doesn't count because you can't edit waveforms or, most importantly, arrange midi parts at all (let alone see them in music notation). One of my friends is a sound engineer who also writes iPhone audio apps. Another writes product-emphasizing games for corporations. Suddenly, both are looking at Thinkpads and building PC towers. If those foonts are now disgusted with Apple's limitations, then something seems to be seriously amiss. A decade ago, one of them used to stroll resignedly over to his PC while muttering "MicroSloth." He isn't saying that kind of thing any more. All his ire is directed at Logic's bizarre CPU misuse and tendency to stutter until restarted. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 01-14-2013 at 01:35 PM. |

It is a model that has been extremely successful for them, as there are many people who do just want something very simple with not too many options, but is most definitely is not the best choice for everyone, and is deliberately limited to far less that the technology would allow, which is frustrating to some as a matter of principle. |

MS does similar things internally wanting to put all your documents like a picture one place of its choosing. Sure it is not difficult to put the document in your chosen "new pictures of 2013" directory but then the MS goes back to its default next time. No choice is given to you about the default.

Unfortunate if you can't speak about your experience without being compared to anything.
It's actually a variant of my usual username (which was already taken), but if you must ask : hype 1 |hīp| informal noun extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion |
