You hate Android so much I swear you'd go thermo-nuclear if given the chance.

JackClark

I don't hate, just see it for what it is, the Ubuntu of the mobile world.

If you use an iPhone professionally for access to your companies Exchange server, the advice is now to not use iOS6. Meetings and push mail is having issues.

Despise is probably a better word.

Working fine for me.

jonc

Which is no bad thing IMO and funnily enough you can get Ubuntu for Android now.

Why is it so ****ty Jack?

Gigsy

From back when I had to develop for it, no two versions seemed to support things in the same way which was quite annoying.

Gigsy

^ I should say flavours - i.e. the implementation on Samsung vs say Sony

So a bit like IOS 1,2,3,4,5 & 6?

Gigsy

No worse - in theory, these were the same version of Android, just on different devices (quite happy to accept stuff changing from one version number to another). One would look OK, the other would look gash (technical term). I'd hope the situation has improved since then though (was a couple of years ago).

On a personal note, I've never got on with the Android UI either but one man's pleasure is another's poison and all that.

Oh yes.

Well Apple have acknowledged another glaring problem with the iPhone 5, but this time are blaming it's new owners, they're holding the phone wrong (again!!)

Gigsy

Not sure quite how pointing the camera at bright light sources equates to "holding it wrong" (which implies how the phone is held, rather than where it's pointed)?

That's not to say the purple haze should be there - clearly it shouldn't - but sensationalising this story by phrasing the headline with "holding it wrong" is pretty puerile.


PS Nice pun BTW "glaring" problem. Boom, boom!

JackClark

Apple have also warned users not to use the phone underwater, never clean it in the dishwasher nor warm it up with fire.

Gigsy

What about cool it using liquid nitrogen?

jonc

That's because Apple Inc. know that their fanboy customers would actually be dumb enough to do this unless told otherwise. Never let it be said that Apple don't know their customers well!

Gigsy

Correction, we expect the bar to be high enough to be able to

JackClark

Here's a great example. TomTom has been released for Android today - two years after iOS, yawn - but get this, it won't work on the Galaxy S3 and a load of others... that's why Android is ****.

TomTom are crap, I mean look at Apple Maps which uses data from TomTom. Beside, Android don't need it, they have lovely Google Maps instead, which incidentally works infinitely better than Apple Maps.

JackClark

There are features that you might want to use in TomTom that your butt ugly Google Maps can't deliver. Well bad luck, your new Android device can't run it.

You need to use the dictionary more, do they have one on IOS? i'd download it if I were you

And who needs Tomtom? I've been using Open source (Navfree) maps on my S3, but you should try Tomtom on any iphone prior to the 4S in a bad reception area, that GPS wont help you one bit (as its not a stand alone unit )

Nimbus

jack, out of interest, can you post some pics of ios6 turn by turn navigation as the ones I've seen on the net don't look much different to Google maps (mapping issues aside)

jonc

I very much doubt that.

And a bit of 3d just to show off.

jonc

Well I guess you are one of many who are bitterly disappointed with the iPhone 5. Set the bar high, be prepared for a big fall.

TelBoy

Why does your 3d map suggest having a cup of coffee on a building site, Jack?

Or is it a builder's tea sign?
