iOS 7 Beta 3 Now Available For iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
An anonymous reader writes "Apple on Monday released iOS 7 beta 3 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to developers. Apple unveiled iOS 7 during its WWDC 2013 keynote in early June, and the new software was met with mixed responses. While some believe iOS 7 is a big leap forward in terms of innovation, BGR said that iOS 7 focused mainly on renovation rather than the introduction of innovative new features. Of course, Apple still may have some surprises in store for the release version of iOS 7 this fall, especially considering the next-generation iPhone 5S is expected to launch around the same time with an integrated fingerprint scanner."
yeah, because you will get a decade of updates from samsung or asus
Unless you have a 1st gen iPad because they dropped support for those after iOS 5. Which is why I now own an Android tablet, ...
Hopefully that Android tablet is not a 1st gen Kindle Fire because they were release with Android 2.3 and were never upgraded. Now if you buy a brand new Kindle Fire you can have Android 4. Many other Android devices have also never been updated to 4.0.
In contrast to the first gen Kindle Fire that never got upgraded from Android 2.3 the first gen iPad shipped with iOS 3.2 and was upgraded to 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.0 and 5.1.
ios you can set it up for email to be on the lock screen
the rest are niche geeky things that i would have cared about a decade ago, but not anymore. i hate most of the widgets and have been deleting most of mine lately. the default app thing seems useless. same with outside the app store apps.
i hate the mail client on the S3 compared to my iphone
i hate the keyboard compared to iOS
the screen seems flaky compared to my iphone 5
the S3 is laggy
the who HD quality screen is not true. lots of stuff looks better on the iphone
which apps have data sharing so i can try them out?
i tried google now for a few days and turned it off. about as useless as siri
Well, it is a digital copy in that it has bits, but it's not a portable digital copy. With iTunes, you can get the movie and put it on any of your devices -- iPod, iPad, iPhone and play them wherever you like, and on as many devices as you own.
I don't consider a disc to be a digital copy.
Well, the Digital Copy which you can get from iTunes and with many new movies is better than nothing, and it's a damned sight better than the Ultraviolet crap -- because you apparently can't watch an Ultraviolet movie on a plane because it needs to connect to the server. Which, pretty much invalidates the whole purpose of the portable digital copy for me. Ultraviolet doesn't give you any ability to actually use it from what I can tell, and my one experience with it told me it's not something I'm prepared to mess with.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but short of going through the long process of ripping films yourself, or downloading from the internet, you can at least get a legal copy you can take with you.
So, if you want to buy the movie in a store (like some of us do), and be able to immediately get a legal, portable copy of the movie to take with you, it falls into the "good enough" category. Because for me, being able to watch a movie on a plane or in my hotel room or anywhere I don't have an internet connection is something worth paying having.
