R.I.P. Steve Jobs. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be having these 'conversations', and stuck using Microsh*te products, et al. :(

Yep as much as Apple haters err hate Apple Products, anyone with any technical knowledge will be marvelled what what he has achieved. I am not talking about the iPhone era but even before that Apple computers & OS have been way ahead of its competition. Since then, the iPhone has changed our idea of the mobile phone, it is no longer 'just' a mobile phone.

 

Unless it breaks like mine did after 3 days!

Oops, what happened dude?

RIP Steve Jobs.

 

Funny how Gates has piped up claiming he has lost a dear friend when jobs use to scream and shout at him while he was effectively his boss and then Gates screwed him over.

 

As for inventing the GUI and mouse we have Xerox to thank for that, they simply stole it as Xerox management thought it wasa gimmick, oops :D

Left it on charge over night. in the morning the little "100% charged" icon was displayed. I unplugged the charger. the icon didnt go away and then the phone though that the usb connector/charger was connected even when it wasnt! I guess something shorted in the phone.

waste of time. its not as much of a leap as I would want to change my Iphone 4. Camera is better, thats about all I would notice. Waiting for the 5 next year.

 

Although according to apple the 16gb version will go on sale in the US for $199 which is way cheaper than the 4 has been, so if might be a good buy if you have lost your phone and didn't have insurance and didn't want to pay the £400-£500 for a new one....Like a mate of mine :D

Hmmm, wonder if this will actually work?

I am not so sure on this one, I have used voice technology a lot over the years in my job. I found a lot either need to be setup so then the application recognised your voice or with the American products we have currently in some of the phone systems you needed to pull on an American accent to sometimes get through to someone.

 

Either way it has improved but we will see, heard good things about Siri though.

It's going to start life as a Beta so we shall see, they seemed pretty confident in the keynotes that it was ready. They claim it will work in English (U.S, U.K and Australia), French and German. I can see this opening up a whole new market if they can make it happen.

Friend in work is Apple crazy, ordered his over the weekend. We worked out that over 1 year (which is what he got it on contract for) vs my SGS2, he would pay over £330 more, and get less in the way of texts/calls/web.

 

No matter though, for he has an iPhone after all ;)
