Southpaws up in arms over iPhone 4

a lefty

When I heard the Jobs comment I was amazed he could forget about leftys. Also just a side comment my 3GS lives in a pouch sort of BlackBerry style case but I slide it out to use. I am a massive fan of iPhone but seems to me, as a lefty that don't use a case when using the phone, the iPhone 4 is completely flawed.

Microsoft confirms IE9 will shun Windows XP

Rusk
WTF?

What?

Have you actually used Win 7 or Vista and thought it was 7...Win 7 is the best thing since XP and them some. It beats XP hands down in several areas in my books.

Also the snapping feature while moving windows only come into play when you go to the extremes of the windows edges so you must be just throwing windows around.

I will stick to my guns on saying Win 7 is one of the best OS platforms I have used and I have used most of them since Win 3.1.

Microsoft PR outlaws iPhone talk

Business suicide

I have never really used Apple products and not really a massive fan. I am however a techie and will only use the best tech I can find when I am looking to buy something. I was a WM phone user as the iPhone 2G and 3G were not up to scratch as a phone. They were great for anything else but with no MMS and the like made it fail as a phone.

As soon as 3.0 came out and the 3GS I switched over to the iPhone as it was the best phone out there and really does beat WM as an OS for a phone.

In a business sense this ignoring of your (and everyone else’s) main competition is suicide...how can you compete when you ignore competition.

More than half of touchphone users will go back to buttons

some good some bad..

I had a LG Viewty and the touchscreen was the worst I have used. After using that I was one of those people who swore I would always stick with buttons in the future.

I now have a iPhone and the screen is beautiful. I can text and email very quickly and the functionality of a touch screen when zooming into pics and things is great. So now I am a touchscreen fan again.

Unless this survey also takes into account the type of device then it is pointless.

Win 7 users shout: Where's my bloody ballot screen?

Stop

Why in the first place??!!?

I have never understood why people are moaning in the first place. Windows is a Microsoft product so it should be expected to come with other Microsoft products!!! I don't go and buy an Audi and demand a choice in either a BMW, VW, MERC, etc steering wheel!

You would have thought...

You would have thought after the success of the last two iPhones they would have a huge stock of the S ready for release. I was lucky enough to only have to wait a week after release before I found the last one in the Themes Valley area!

Dana - as for the battery its not that bad. If I use it heavily it will last me the day but if I don't play games and only call and text on it then I can get a good 2 days if not a bit more out of it. However at the moment because it is SO good and great to play with it only lasts me 1 day :P
