Panorama shots were available on the Galaxy s2.

JackClark

...rubbish ones. Panoramas have been around for a very long time, but have never been so simple.

My wife's Xperia Arc S has the panoramic sweep and since you like 3D so much, it can also do the sweep in 3D so you can view it on your 3D TV.

<slow clap>

Dunstable Downs, right? Been there a few times to watch the gliders, amazing when they're just hanging in the air on the very ridge you were standing on.

It can't be great tho because this has to be reserved apple alone

JackClark

I was there intending on flying my Paraglider, wind was too strong. There was a gliding comp on today, the take off's were spectacular, ears popping I'm sure.

I thought it was excellent on the S2 and I used it a few times, the quality was exactly the same as a normal picture on the phone. It stopped taking the panorama picture as soon as you stopped moving the phone around.

JackClark

If you thought it was excellent on the S2, you'd love it on the iPhone.

App updates are flying out of the store, iPhoto and GarageBand were major updates. Pages and Numbers can do new tricks as well.

I was looking at buying a sim free one from Apple in America at christmas time but they don't appear to have that option? It only seems to be contract or nothing?

CREWJ

You're right, I just looked into it and it seems you can't in America....

In the UK it's easy to pre-order a sim free handset.

JackClark

They arrive later in the US. Americans will be camping in London tonight to get one.

Not just my home Jack. Maps are badly out in a 20 mile radius. GIS blogs already suggesting that iOS6 maps are the worst in living memory.

But love the Clock app. World clock especially. Copied design from Mondaine of course, I'm sure Apple licenced it

Fonts in Safari look washed out. And don't even think of moving to a different tab in Safari while doing a quick reply in SN, you'll loose it...

Just having a little play on iOS6 and the app store keeps crashing plus I don't care much for the new look of the app store.

An0n0m0us

I'm staying with ios5 for now having seen ios6 on the Wifes ipad, the new app store is not my cup of tea.

IWatkins

App Store is mega slow and crappy...

JackClark

I'm surpirised the App Store is still running. Putting the kettle on during Eurovision adverts has nothing on an Apple update. I heard they built a new Nuclear Plant in Mexico and villages in Wales were cut off to cope with demand. The whole Internet has slowed down, it's worse than a Bieber album hitting the newsgroups.

IWatkins

Lol, Jack

Out of interest, how much wind is too much for paragliding? As a power kite flyer, there isn't really an upper limit, just a wind range for different size canopy areas. E.g. My depower 15m kite is good for 5knots-22knots, 8m is good to 30knots etc.

Same, but I only have 3 wings, and they're close in size. It depends a lot on the site and your skill, my wing today has a trim speed of 39kph, but it felt like 20kph today and I wasn't getting it out, not with a road behind me.

Fail.

I agree the new App Store on iOS 6 still needs some work. They have been tweaking it over the past couple of days as various items have displayed more or less information over the days, or different ranges of information.

IWatkins

YouTube is broke on iOs6. Go figure.

IWatkins

.. Oh, I get it. I haven't paid for a free vid.

Ooh, funny. youTube app has gone from my iPad....

Class action here I come.....

Ant

Used the new navigation to my first call today, along side my tomtom it was very good. 3d is crap though

Carlh

if you all bought a decent phone (GS3) you wouldnt be moaning about any of the issues you're all having. Poor sods.
