Much lower walls on the garden...

HornHonker 6th Sep

A way that allows me to play media content without having to convert the whole lot to AAC or MP4 (for video) and sync through that piece of bloatware called iTunes would be a good start. The probability of that ever happening approaches zero percent, so I think I'll be sticking with Android for the foreseeable future, no matter how good the design of the 5.

This is coming from someone with a household *full* of iDevices, so I think I can speak from an informed position.

The lack of the ability to drop and drag my own ripped music files directly onto my device (from my own paid-for CD collection), really irks me. Can't see that ever changing in the iWorld.

Martin.

Apple and the history books

griswald.goulton@... 19th Sep

History books will show litigious Apple plus drug companies as Barnacles on the sphincter of progress, it would be poetic justice if the people involved would one day find themselves on their deathbed wishing that science in general was more advanced.
Born too soon or born stupid?

ONLY one in five?

WLaddR 11th Sep

Only one in five Android users to buy an iPhone 5? I don't care who you are; if you can capture 20% of your competition from half-a-dozen other companies you're doing something right. I doubt there's one in five Android users out there who are previous iPhone owners so that's a lot of converts to the Apple camp.
