Re: Larger Display?

And the 4.74 inch width they end up with means a less pocketable device than the 3.43 of the others thus removing one of the main reasons why people are buying 7 inch tablets.

Re: Lack of 'Real World Testing'?

"Basically to get the attenuation you would have to grip the phone like some crazed ape - in the REAL world all phones will get affected like that."

Can you clarify how the typical grip of a phone differs between an normal ape and a crazed ape?

Re: Hopefully

My point was not that his judgement would stop oracle appealing as they almost had to to try and save face but that he built the decision in such a way that it would be very hard to turn over on appeal. hence all the bits about explaining clearly the theory behind and API knowing that it would be put in front of appeal judges who had less computer knowledge than he has.

Re: Tipping point for Apple?

i know a number of people who have work iphones and own their own S3. They only use their iphones for business calls now and use their S3's the rest of the time. One used to use the iphone to check his mileage but can't even do that any more. If apple may win the battle in the enterprise but it does not mean they will win the war.

Even in the enterprise I think it faces a greater threat from windows 8 than you think. For more business use I don't see a lack of apps is an issue for windows 8 mobile. How well a phone.Integrates with a companies windows infrastructure is possibly considered more important that being able to install angry birds or 101 farting apps.

Re: Uhh...

As others have pointed out multiple times:

A) the web maps does not have as many features and the app

and

B) any like to a map from a webpage or another app with bring up the apple maps and you have to resort to copy and pasting to get the same location up in the google maps webpage.

Re: It's no really an issue is it?

Well I guess it depends how large the batch is?

But...

Tomtom maps do not have all problems that apple are having, e.g. tomtom satnav do know where stratford upon avon is. What it looks like to me is either problems importing the data or, more likely they are just using tomtom data for the roads and are getting the data on places from somewhere else.

Obviousness?

I do feel they could possibly get to a situation where initially a patent is not thoroughly tested for 'obviousness' and that this is stated as such in the patent. Anyone who disagree''s with the obviousness of a patent should be able to say to the patent office "I believe this patent is obvious and should not have been granted" and in that situation the patent office should investigate thoroughly. That way they would only have to do in depth investigation of disputed patents rather than a limited depth on all patents.

Re: Every time

But EVERY TIME they release and iphone it happens and you would have thought they would have learnt by now how many they need to produce.

Re: Hype?

I fail personally to see how money that could be spent on other things being mainly just added to apples money pile and with some going to increasing their trade deficit by being sent to foxconn to pay for them is going to help the US economy.

Re: "The jury reached its decision in just three days"

"Perhaps the willingness of Samsung to destroy the evidence in the trial might have some bearing about intent here."

Samsung were told off because they did not preserve email from before they the case was bought to court. Apple were not told off despite apparently making no effort to preserve emails at all once samsung counter claimed.

Re: Fines

The statement appears to make very specific allegations that it would be hard to make without proof.

Re: Sounds fantastic.

so download it outside of the period where it is capped. Another question would be for normal ADSL, which in many cases is the only other option how long does a 17gb download take?
