    So a new chip beats a 9 month old chip in more than a few tests? What a shocker.

    Yeah it does, I've been using my iPhone as an alarm for a couple of years now. I have 1 alarm set for week days and 1 set for weekends. Thankfully have not been bitten by the DST bug that others have seen yet.

    It is only a small difference, especially if you are talking to it like it is your PA.

    Yep. As a matter of fact you've been able to purchase music on the iPad since it was launched. iPod touch and iPhones have had the same capability for at least a couple of years now.

    Windows loaded and Windows running as the primary OS are 2 things entirely. I (and many others i know) Run windows in Bootcamp for Games only.

  12. Re:Do people pay money for Android apps? on Android App Quality Pathetically Low Says Developer · · Score: 1

    So Apples "walled garden" approach seems to be a benefit to developers? I think i'll take the perceived limitation if it keeps new apps coming to the platform.

    Broken down by manufacturer would have been better.

  14. Re:Of course - its by design! on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 2

    A study paid for by Apple that puts RIM in a much better light? that must be Apple innovating again.

  15. Re:in this age on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    The Logo is basically a mash up of the Apple logos for iSync and Airport. So I would question if the developer has ownership of that. The name, fair enough, But how many permutations of "wireless" and "synchronisation" can you come up with? A bit like "app store" really, but i think Apple are in the wrong on that one.

  20. Re:Finally on Acer Announces First NVIDIA Ion2-Based Netbook · · Score: 1
    They aren't all uber-expensive.

    I just bought an Acer 1810TZ for £440 off Dixons (with about £15 cashback from quidco). It's for the ULV 1.3Ghz C2D, 4Gb of Ram, ~7 hours battery. The only downside is the Intel integrated graphics. This is in a 11.6 inch case, perfect for dumping in my bag for use on call or for long journeys.

    I'm thinking this machine with an ION2 would be almost the perfect ultra portable. Maybe an i3/i5 would be nice too, but i'm just greedy. The C2D is easily good enough for my purposes.
