iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass
Dekortage writes "Prior to its much-hyped launch on June 29, Apple has announced upgrades to its battery life (almost 40% more than originally announced) and scratch resistance (using "optical quality glass" rather than plastics). The announcement also includes a comparison chart pitting the iPhone against smartphones from Nokia, Samsung, Palm, and Blackberry."
"Is there anybody who works the press as well as Steve Jobs?"
Uhh. Paris Hilton?
Mow the lawn, teach me Spanish? Is it waterproof, shockproof? Can it float fly and sit in an oven? Will it let me run my personal build of BSD? No? Then it's shit and we should shun it and hate it.
How many N95's sell anyway? They cost $800 (list from Dynamism).
... on a huge 3.7" screen...
Only on slashdot will you ever hear 3.7" referred to as "huge".
Wait, are you serious? NGage is a gaming machine, and had to attract third party developers for any kind of success. 1% of the market simply wouldn't be enough for that. This isn't even apples and oranges, it's apples and bloody watermelons.
Please stop insulting retards.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
One isn't a valid sample. He should get a load of them and compare them. Maybe on a chart or something.
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Depends if that's the width, honey.
You thought my name meant what? How very dare you!
Whew! At least my soul will be intact!
You forgot to read the small print ... * Battery life affected be screen intensity. Video playback assumes LCD display off.
If we can't fix it, we'll fix it so nobody else can!
The current scratch resistant coatings are problematic. I want Optically Transparent, Scratch-Resistant, Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings on my iPhone.
If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
You missed the one I have ever heard of.
In a year you'll be writing "(..) and remember all the furor over the iPhone glass cracks?"
Leave it to the Canadians to make a unit that will stand up to landing in a patch of snow.
Anthropic principle: We see the universe the way it is because if it were different we would not be here to see it.
Congratulations, you've caught on to Apple's marketing secret. Now sit back and wait for the men in black turtlenecks to cart you off for re-education.
Uhh. Paris Hilton?
Paris! You must find your way out of this place or you will surely die. Make your way to the Sparrow Prince! He will guide you the rest of the way. Now go! Make haste!
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Hehe. Sounds like *someone* didn't read the *fine* print.
Reminds of an ancient TV cigarette commercial where their cigarettes were 2.55 inches long compared to industry standard 2.54 inches - "just a silly little millimeter longer": Benson & Hedges 101s.
cargo pants, carpenter pants, and any other pants with random pockets are fucking retarded.
So write me a ticket, Fashion Cop.
buy regular pants.
Then I wouldn't have extra pockets... Duh!
Here's a comparison chart:
Slashdot | Digg
---------- --------
Apple Fanboys: Yes Yes
Bad Moderation: Yes Yes
Obviously Slashdot is now Digg based on this chart!
Cause the parent to your post was making a joke about how all Apple's comparison charts suck... so if the original poster had seen more, he wouldn't find this one to be the worst ever. Thanks for making me explain the joke so that every ounce of humor it may ever had held can be sapped.
What are you talking about? They provide you with their own special version of c++. You can even debug your apps in their simulated phone, assuming it supports the features you're debugging and you've got two serial ports and a serial loopback cable. Sometimes, your code even works similarly on their simulator as it does on an actual phone!
Sorry, I just can't let empty statements like yours go unchallenged.
