Re: iTunes on Android?

""It doesn't but Apple also makes money selling things through iTunes"

Many of which are iOS apps ...

Re: Dark fibre?

H2O networks, yes?

Unless you have loads of kids (which most native brittons do not), why do you need fibre speeds?

Stop breaking copyrights, 1 p0rn stream is enough, no one can tweet a load of bullshite that fast, or update twatface with shite that fast.

For the majority, its a waste of time. Only the saddest of the saddos need shite but fast.

"Why the need to compare it to the iPhone 5? Like the iPhone 5 was the first 4" device. Apple have only just realised the trend and like for larger screens. Samsung's already been and done 4".

Let me try a new headline for you. "Samsung says 'yes' to Galaxy S II sized Galaxy S III.""

How else would the Reg Hacks stir up the pot?

I wouldn't worry, iPhone and its hype is as old as its followers beliefs

"While I think Apple rightly don't have a leg to stand on with this claim and they should lose you've still got to admit that all these firms like Microsoft are jumping on the 'App' bandwagon because they made it cool."

No they didn't!

Stop it.

I hate it when kids say that Apple made anything. They don't even make their own devices!

Sorry, iWhatever is OVER, if anyone thinks they are still "Cool", the fact that it's so last decade makes you uncool and so far out of touch your in another galaxy.

"..it that some utter fuckwit gave away the names of kids (those under the age of 18). It doesn't matter what sort of kids they were, whether or not they already had ASBOs, or what. They were KIDS.The twat should be hung by the balls until the parents of the kids get their mitts on him. Then the matter of a repeat performance will likely as not be all but academic."

I always thought the Americans were 10 year ahead of the UK (or so people say)?

Then why are they chasing after tech thats just OLD? Being seen with a mullet wouldn't make people think "wow, he's on trend". Being seen with iPhone isn't a status symbol anymore, quite the opposite in fact!

Owners clearly don not know that it is 2012 and what tech is available out there.

Its akin to your granny thinking the VCR is great!

Re: Jail break?

"Speaking from experience:

I like Android as a concept. but i hate the implementation and the fragmentation

Re: I heard the iPhone6 has NFC

"I heard the iPhone6 has NFC

My Xperia S already has that, and panoramic 3D camera (12MP no less), fullHD, Retina+ display.

OK, it's not got 4G, but then where I live, I'm not going to be seeing 4G for another 5+ years.

And if I want to use Passbook instead of NFC, then I can do that too.

http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09/24/that-didnt-take-long-passbook-for-android-lands/

So why would I want a iPhone that costs double the price of my Xperia S, and has lesser specs?"

It could be made of shite and the fannybois would still be singing it's praises. Why bother? Let them have an old mans phone. I'll stick to the one which is feature packed.

And for those fannybois who say whats NFC for? THAT WHY YOU HAVE iPHONE!

If it had NFC, it would be a selling point to you!

"Nonetheless, there remains the fashionability/zeitgeist/hipness argument."

If you really think the iPhone 5 fits this criteria, you are OLD. VERY OLD INDEED.

iPhone is about as fashionable as a tramps trousers. It WAS. It's NOT ANYMORE!

IdiotPhone and iOS are both crap. We know, users know it, the fucking world knows it.

Most owners have one because their friends have said, "oh but look what iPhone can do".

Friends with a droid can then say "yes, but it doesn't do this, I can't do that...."

Maybe on your planet. Here on Earth NFC terminals for payments by bonk are springing up everywhere!

And don't forget, NFC isn't just for payments. Get a SGIII and find out what Apple will be copying, or at least catching up with.
