Nokia's first internet tablet, the N770 was released in 2005, 2 years before the iPhone. It had the same basic idea as an iPhone, Nokia just never gave it the polish, the attention to detail or the simple, user-friendly UI which all combined to make Apple's offering a deal-breaker.
Yeah, basically the same thing - apart from the fact that the 770 had everything that Jobs said was wrong about previous attempts when he introduced the iPhone. Plus things like a phone company bringing out a mobile device that wouldn't work on a phone network (unless you Bluetoothered it to a Nokia phone) - ohh, wait, that was the whole point, wasn't it.
This has been Steve Job's vision; computers as appliances. You turn them on and they just work. No worrying about options or customization. However when you leave the Apple-only world and need some interoperability then it feels clumsy.
Yeah, because when you need interoperability, the fact that every Android phone actually has a different UI is a plus.
Um , no they dont and no the are not. . They subcontract all of the manufacturing of all their products to Chinese companies. Apple doesn't build squat. Here from there own web site:
I eagerly await VirnetX's lawsuits against all the SIP phone manufacturers because, as I understand it, SIP allows two phones to directly talk to each other once initial setup is done...
Well, the issue is NAT - SIP still has major troubles with it, and Facetime doesn't. And that's what is violating the patent.
No, but they were successful enough to attempt settling Vinland, and to send roughly-yearly lumbering expeditions for a century after the Skralings chased them out. Their surpluses probably went into internal growth until the climate change suddenly made life untenable, there. If they had learned more from the eskimos they might have been able to keep going.
Surplus? They never made enough off of farming, and had to supplement with hunted animals, mostly seals, even when they arrived.
How to lock you into there ecosystem. I think the time as come for some kind of Government control so customers can easily move between platforms...and I mean all media Apps, books, music.
Facepalm. Yeah, Apple locks them into their ecosystem, because they can't use the already existing trade-in programs. tuppe66, again proving that you don't have to be a moron to be an Apple Hater, but that it surely helps.
It's not so much that this is a slow news days, but that with the new iPhone announcement in less than two weeks, the Mac Fanbois (and Fangirls) are waiting to see how much they are going to have to spend on the new latest greatest iDevice (now with cheese grating apps).
And that's why the Hateboyz are having a field day here. Because the Fanboys can't wait.
Well that would be logical wouldn't it, given that Android is a more widely used platform. Hackers often try to get the biggest 'bang for buck' and target the most popular platforms (see also number of Windows viruses vs. Mac OS ones).
Are you claiming iOS was targeted far more than Android just 2 years ago?
The fact that it is easily replaced is the point of this article. You do lost the ability to "carry" a spare battery, but hopefully Motorola having a focus on battery life by using two separate processors to help improve battery life.
Quote the article: "The taped-in battery is less accessible than we'd like, but at least it's near the top of the stack once you get the rear cover off (as opposed to the HTC One)." (coded yellow)
From their iPhone 5 teardown: "The battery comes out with a bit of prying once the front panel is removed." (coded green)
Both have the same repairability score 7 out of 10 (and the iPhone gets the better color rating for the battery). Does that mean you will stop claiming that the iPhone is not user repairable? And before you complain about the "once the front panel is removed" - "the iPhone 5 is opened front-to-back".
Would Steve Jobs please come back to life so they'll stop eulogizing him. I can't believe they made a movie about him. I haven't seen any about Tesla. He was a good product design guy and made some money. 'nuf said. He's dead. Who cares?
Well, you obviously care about it more than about Tesla movies - else you A) wouldn't have felt the need to post, and B) you would have known that there already is a movie about Tesla made in 1980. Not to mention the two that are in pre-production, nor the major role he plays in The Prestige.
Tell me something interesting, useful, relevant, meaningful.
ok, here goes-
The parent started his comment with the title of his post, so it would read as follows: "Ice Ages are caused by planetary wobbles, but warming is caused by man. Got it."
Yes, it's sarcastic and not really much of a post, but it does illustrate the problem with the entire "debate" about how climates change on Earth.
Yes, indeed it does. It tells us that the "skeptics" can't tell the difference between starting an ice age and ending an ice age. And the replies defending the post confirm that.
Isn't it inconvenient when people who think differently than yourself speak up?
No, it's just telling when someone can't even tell the difference between "starting" something and "ending" something. That clearly shows he's not into "thinking differently" but into "not thinking at all".

Since you are so experienced in the matter - when's the right time to buy an Android phone?
Nothing is funnier than a Techno Hipster making fun of somebody wearing a wrist watch while he unpacks his phablet to check the time.

First Item on that list of Final Assembly Facilities? Apple, Cork, Republic of Ireland.
If Apple was to provide the iPhone hardware with the same experience as the Nexus, why would people pay Apple for something they can get cheaper?
The same reason that people buy $55 Samsung instead of $50 no-name brand Android phones.

More than 50 posts and nobody ever mentioned there is like dozens of Gigabytes of data for our fellow privacy defenders at NSA to harvest.
Hilarious coming from someone with a fooking Google+ icon beside his name
How much do you want to bet Apple's market share will still be lower this quarter?
They're going to be re-selling used Apple stuff...Jobs would have hated that.

Please stop spreading the "Google doesn't respect privacy" FUD. Have a look at how well Apple respects your privacy.
Is that the same EFF that claimed undeniable evidence that Apple had DRM in their headphones? Why yes, it is
Is this also the same EFF that receives a lot of their funding from Google? Another rhetoric question.
Your posts become more bizarre as time goes on. People choose Apple products.
Which is exactly what drives him bananas.
You don't seem to be familiar with the traditional Apple taunts.
He was taunting him for moving to Samsung. And the proper taunt would be "went straight for celibacy".
I traded in an iPad 1 with Gazelle a few years ago and they paid me exactly what they said they would.
Sure. So was it the "up-to" price they advertised they would pay for an iPad?
wrong - you linked to the 3GS, this subthread is about the 3G
That's because he's a known troll - or extremely dumb. He always gets these things wrong.

Because she didn't have a degree in computer science her resume would never be approved by HR. The hiring manager wouldn't even know she applied.
Ahh, but she would lie to HR, and ask forgiveness later ;-)
That is a step backwards as far as i'm concerned.

For balance here is comedian Bill Burr talking about Jobs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iGm4dl0Ys4 Bill Burr - Night of Too Many Stars 2012
"Nerd Jesus" - Dozens of Apple haters here just had a stroke watching that.
