This is all so entertaining to me, as an old Apple hater. All I ever get is the minimum flip phone to, you know, take/make a phone call (less than once/day for me) and some SMS. Fiance was threatening me with a smart phone, but I made it clear it was a waste, and once she got over the fact I’d been texting on a flip phone, she understood.
Still using a brick phone here…why change ? You call I talk ! Isn’t that the purpose of a phone ? Talking is faster than texting. I ain’t into mindless chit chat.
Of course then too, I prefer an M1A over any poodle shooter and 45ACP is the only handgun. Why change what time has proven best ?
I’m with Tam, my portable computer happens to make calls. And text messaging is just another messaging channel, like IM or IRCor email. And it means I always have a source of internet for any other wifi devices I happen to have when I’m away from home.

So they added in lag and UI unresponsiveness and have decided to only update phone software with a two year old OS?

Did you know that this computer in my pocket can also make phone calls? It’s pretty neat, actually.
spud,
Boasting about how you hate computers in the comments section of a blog on the internet is pretty funny. 😉

Look! they just created a new market for docs and everything else you connected your iphone to! You know, USB is soooooo hard to use.

I gotta tell you I was shocked at the iPhone5 having LTE. I totally didnt expect that until at least 2014.

That’s a WINNAH! 🙂

Are you just projecting all over apple or something?
September 13th, 2012 at 12:22 pm
breda, if they’re going to continue to refer to their products as “first of it’s kind” whey they’re, you know, NOT….
Then yes, I’m going to continue to point it out.

wizardpc, I wasn’t aware that you were the author of this blog.

I think my favorite was when they rolled out Siri….which was well after Android had started with voice command.
Which means I can say “play up against the wall redneck mother” and my phone will start up Ray Wylie Hubbard.

I’m the author of the piece he linked, which you clearly didn’t bother reading.

Not sure the point of reading it…Apple bashing hasn’t gotten any more interesting recently.
Britt–the voice command equals Siri thing, really? Please. Speaking of 2010…it just called wanting its debunked talking point back.

Personally, I’m still using a dumb phone, though that has more to do with the fact that I’m broke rather than personal preference.
I think I’ll wait for Google to get it’s wearable computer working. Maybe by then I can afford it.

All that garbage is gonna be for naught come December 21…you dumbs shits.
