iPhone

yep!

all my mates with iphones have pages and pages of useless apps.

i have an n95, so symbian V3, i went through a stage of installing stacks of applications, only to realise they were all useless. so i formatted the phone and not only was it sooo much faster, i didnt actually miss any of the applications

it seems that alot of apps for ipods arent really much use, they are just novelty things, which im not saying are bad, can be good fun, but arent really much use. unless someone has some good examples ive not seen.

only thing i ever use is the nokia maps thing when im lost and i have a few games on there for the train ride to uni.

though the iphone or any touch screen phone is a good platform for games, girlfriend has iphone, and i just steal it to play angry birds!

yeh i had like 1000 free apps and now they are all on itunes and now i have only like 30 apps which are fun. they are all cracked apps tho as the free ones were limited. I was playing one of thoose online games before when i was bored. I checked my account thingy and it doesnt say internet usage being used but surely it uses up some sort net usage right?

Correction - in comparison to a four year old 1st generation 2g iphone, not in comparison to the current 3gs, which is significantly faster than the 2g.

Now that you've gone through every apple based thread on this forum and demonstrated some sort of weird inferiority complex towards apple products, what false sense of superiority will you have found next?

[driftke70]

if you wernt taking it up the but from steve jobs you wouldnt have said inferiority complex,

even it a purely derogatory statement you cant help but put down products other than apple.

only reason I go on gav is cause you take it so personally, like if you said something bad about toshiba or toyota or weasels i would accept your opinion and move on, but like I said to you last week I dont see the point in the ipad, you went into like a frenzy, everything short of a power point presentation of why I should buy one. THATS not normal.

[letsgohunting]

I was trying to explain the point of it, not saying you should buy one. I even said that I wouldn't buy one at this point. I'm particularly interested in it because it represents a shift in digital media consumption - something that directly affects my career.

[driftke70]

you also said and i quote after you used my netbook
"if i dont buy the iPad im buying one of these"

[letsgohunting]

I actually wanted the microsoft courier, which I STILL think is the better concept than the ipad. (though alas, it's been scrapped)



In saying that, I do actually like your toshiba netbook, but I still wouldn't buy one. My macbook is more powerful and not that much bigger.

iphone 4

- better screen
- backlit sensor for hd video, better low light pics + led flash (also acts as video light)
- realtime video conferencing with vga front camera + conferencing application
- ibooks
- folder organisation for applications
- noise suppression mic at the top
- proper multitasking

Multitasking/folders/ibooks/tap to focus video will be available for 3gs models in soon to come firmware update apparently.

my phone has all that except for i books.
back lit sensor but only 1080p non HD res.
