That's a game changer.

Tidgy

even i'll admit thats a game changer lol

apple admitting defeat

JackClark

Points if you can name the device.

Tidgy

no idea mate, never go on the apple site, its too ****e for me,,, lol

also if you fancy linking an origional apple idea let me know

JackClark

Spellcheck that works.

jonc

Given their recent amicable agreement, is the device from HTC?

Tidgy

lol, how come you always turn to personal insults?

o yeah, cos you cant argue about anything else lol

JackClark

Nope, all'ish American.

JackClark

You insulted half of the population.

Grammar correction and word substitution that works.

Tidgy

how so? all i said was apple havn't had an origional idea in there entire time

JackClark

Nothing ****e at all?

I saw a Nexus7 in the Apple Store too ..... I went in and asked about it.

What did they say?

They said that as the Nexus7 is outselling all the iPads combined, they might as well sell it too. Thing is, they were trying to sell it at double the price of everyone else.

No change there then.......

JackClark

…then the men in white coats arrived.

pslewis

They were actually in Blue Shirts ...... they looked like the Smurfs (about as daft too, these Apple 'colleagues')

Saint AAI

Not the stupid Nexus Q thing is it?

JackClark

Nope. Not as simple as that. It's actually a product I'm about to buy, but not from the Apple store, I need a version for Air these are for Snow.

Saint AAI

I was going to change my answer to that. Thought there would never be a Nexus device in an Apple store. Then looked and had seen the goggles, but wasn't sure if it was anything to do with Android except being compatible with it.

Tidgy

from what i've read on gadget site most cheap ones are pretty crap. bear in mind for anything prob your well into 4 figures

JackClark

Recon do two versions, one with and one without Android. I need the non Android version to run the flying specific software… bloody shame, thought the Apple store would be a sure bet for selling the non Android… but no! Must be a first and I found it.

JackClark

The non Android ones are fantastic, they're not trying to be too fancy just showing numbers really. Has a barometer for my height and a GPS for ground speed and tracking. Few other tricks like Glide Ratio which is nice.

Tidgy

reviews i saw were saying they were inaccurate and not very easy to use, not talking about a specific product so might have got round the issues to be fair

Why? Take a break and live a life instead.

JackClark

Are you ****ting me. I'm about to use them on the end of a mile of string with a huge kite and me attached. That will make you feel you're living.

pslewis

A mile of string, and you on one end?

It's the NEW, all singing all dancing, iPhone6!!!!

JackClark

Should be an Android version available soon Pete, almost the same but a bit ****, might be in your price range.

jonc

You mean this innovation?

jonc

He'll be using them whilst paragliding, which, to be fair, is living it!

JackClark

That's the SamHTC version, fully customisable.

jonc

Well, as you expect, else can bring you an unpatented device that will give you unlimited standby and talk time.

IWatkins

Jack,

I was speaking to the Recon guys a couple of weeks ago about the various versions. E.g. They are just doing a version for skydivers/wingsuits/proxy fliers/speed fliers. Like you, I guess a vario would be useful so they are looking at that now, including audio.

But if you get the Android version, you could write your own software

Cheers

Ian
