NUTS!
Don’t expect to stream movies. It’s only a matter of time before your cheap internet has a “cap”—like rural users. I watch the big stir over streaming TV and movies and shake my head, because I already have limited internet. College students expect the whole country to have internet access like they do on campus...won’t be there forever.
Koolaid drinkers untie!
from what i hear, "SIZZLING" would be a more apt description
I have an iPad 1 and have never felt the urge to “upgrade”.
1080p is 1080p no matter what the device capability is. The media has to be made better than 1080p for it to look better. ATM there really isn’t any media out there.
“Is this the high-tech, commercial equivalent of a Jonestown?”
Somebody’s waking up. Siri is literally fraudulent in the iPhone 4S. It is the clearest cut case of false advertising since the turn of the century.
I recently did quite a bit of research in pursuit of replacing my phone. We are more backward a nation than we think we are in many respects.
1. Privacy is dead. Windows Mobile 7.0 drops native support for synchronizing with Office via USB. The user base is up in arms. They now only synch with office online. Neither Apple nor Android phones offer any USB synch either. Apple wants you synching via iTunes (of all things), and Android wants you to port your life to Google Apps (of all things). The Google bit is particularly arrogant given their new privacy policy, which in a phrased summary is ‘you have none’.
2. I fully intended to jettison my Blackberry, thinking they’ve been lapped by all the other phonemakers and OS providers. They are the only one offering seamless synch via USB. Email is still secure, and rock solid. The Torch has enough apps and then some to make me happy, and it is both fast and 3G (not 4G, which is exorbitantly expensive).
I was absolutely gobsmacked. I was ready to buy a Windows Mobile device, because synching with desktop apps was a big need of mine (privacy again). I found out that Android apps and phones tended to be buggy and required phone reboots on a frequent basis, while Apple Apps were well tested, expensive, and required you stay completely in the Apple bubble.
I bought the Blackberry. I had already had the funeral for my 8300, and was looking forward to a bright new Android world.
Bottom line: Blackberry was the only phone I didn’t have to sell my soul for (privacy). The rest REQUIRED a religious conversion, of sorts.
Now, I have to say, Blackberry needs to fire their entire marketing department and start over again, immediately. They have a superior product, overall.
I wonder if apple does this on purpose.
yesterday it was the overheating.
today it is these three items.
What will the fix be, more coupons?
