I currently have an iphone 4 and I'm able to upgrade my phone 10/3/12 and I was so unimpressed by the iphone 5 I will be looking at an android phone. And if there are more people like me then apple is in trouble.
My daughter who is apple all the way (owns phone 4 and ipad 3) started predicting the decline of apple after Steve Jobs died, she gave them 5 years. Even she said she's not going to upgrade to the 5, she'll save her money and upgrade to 4s its cheaper and their isn't much of a difference thats worth the extra cost. |

There is a company named Android? Bada? Symbian?
Please tell me where these companies are incorporated. What is their stock value? What were their earnings last year? Quote:

Back in the real world, iOS is sold by one company: Apple. Android is sold by... God knows how many. I'd love for whatshisface to explain just how HTC is 'beating' Apple. Or Motorola. Or LG. Or Samsung. We can do it on a phone by phone basis, too.
You make hay about not "falling into facile traps" but your last couple of responses take the cake for not understanding what's going on. |

Such discord! Is anyone getting any reading done?
Last weekend told myself that I was not going to play the android - iphone thing when new phone was released. FAILED. Want to get back to audiobooks, mountain of crossword puzzles that have grown over last week (why does MR not have a crossword folder -- such fun for wordies. -- what wonderful things these puzzles are) and yes ebooks. Does the zealot Holymadness read about things other than apple? What does Crusader read? 2 interesting things i found while tech reading, and then no more of this tech fighting for me right here... Why lightning and not MicroUSB? Its technical: that connector isn’t smart enough. It has only 5 pins: +5V, Ground, 2 digital data pins, and a sense pin, so most of the dock connector functions wouldn’t work – only charging and syncing would. Also, the pins are so small that no current plug/connector manufacturer allows the 2A needed for iPad charging. Why so much for the adapters? Also technical. hidden away inside each 30-pin adapter is a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that converts the Lightning connector’s digital audio signal to an analog version. (The inclusion of a DAC explains at least part of the price of the adapters.) Ok...you can tune back into Holymadness now. |
