Lots of really informed decisions being voiced here! HA!

75% is bollox. The Lumia beats the iPhone for design/style and usage hands down.

Of course too many commentards are glued to their iPhone. They have to justify to themselves why they chose a closed proprietary OS, because they know they are now stuck with it! All of their content is stuck with Apple and can't easily shift it.

"Windows Phone still doesn’t have the app range of iOS or Android. But what is available is turning out to be pretty good quality these days."

When you *consider* the absolute CRAP apps on iOS and Droid you realise a smaller number of quality useful apps is undoubtedly better than having 1000's of shit app to choose from.

If you’re going to comment, make it an informed and objective comment and not just the usual knee jerk reaction to anyone slating your poor choices.

People don't realise what it means to, basically sell their information for a daft free app, or some other drivel. As long as they get what they want for free. Then there's the 10% who actually *think* about the options and make an informed decision.

If the freetards didn't reproduce and the 10% did, maybe, just maybe, todays Britain wouldn't be the cess pit from hell that it actually is!

"which is the best smartphone/cell phone?"

The phone which satisfies the consumer’s considerations and not one which was bought ‘cause me mates got one, or look it does this (some daft app that has no practicle application)

I hate sheep. BAAAA!

Lets hope pension funds aren't buying into the bubble!

I'm glad most carriers have dropped it.

I REALLY don't want to hear drivvel about others "lives", sad pathetic people.

Why are Apple consumers so Ill informed about their purchases?

AH, Shiny Shiny, Of course!

“But tablets don’t support Flash and we are seeing an increasing number of these.”

Reg? Why didn't you tell him that 'tablets' do support flash and that "iPad" purchasers should go without for purchasing devices that don't support the tech.

" tech-savvy consumers continue to snap up iPhones" DONT BE STUPID!

The majority of iPhone owners are NOT tech-savvy. Completely the opposite!

The iPhone

......It's a bit gimmicky, but potentially useful.

"...even if it seems harsh to blame those being hit by cars for lacking the sense to stay out of their way"

No it doesn't! Who said that it does? They need sectioned.

Just WHY??

Video cable from PC to Telly, DONE! The telly remains a dumb item, just a screen, it doesn't need to be anything else when the desktop does the work.

Applites are not savvy enough consumers to be able to figure that one out for themselves. They need Apple to show them the way. Poor 'people'.

reminds me of the .com bubble.

Don't waste your money. People are fickle and as soon as the next best thing appears, facebook will be binned by its user-base (the shallow 'people' they are).

WTF? an iPad to an ape? That budget is clearly too large and needs scaled back.

Christ! Even a sub $/£100 tablet would do.

But a £500 quid iPad, to an ape? REALLY??

STOP WASTING PUBLIC MONEY!

Thanks FB/Witterers! I prefer to use email and now the lowlives are primarily targeting you and not me.

Cheers!

"anyone with an ounce of tech knowledge knows exactly how to evade such an online blockade". Why are we paying these politicians?

So we are going to waste thousands of taxpayers pounds in allowing them to blow smoke? Those involved need to be highlighted and told of their failings.

I never believe anything I hear. I didn't believe it would happen and don't believe it couldn't.

Waste of public money.

"Cyber criminals have now recognised that Mac is an interesting area" since the great unwashed started thinking different and uptake grew.

Not really a glowing report for the minority, eh?

iPad needs to be 1000 times better than it is, especially the decrepit iOS which looks as slick as 80's wall paper.

BAD IDEA,

One of the major reasons for iPad's success is that it's easy for consumers to understand. (you can't give then too much info, they can't assimilate it)

iPad2,1 or 2,4 will confuse the great unwashed.

"Some broadcaster suits will take this as a call to make TV more interactive"

What a huge pile 'o steaming manure!

Of course, only since Web2.0reah have people "communicated" with each other as to story lines and plots of their favourite programs!!

Oi! The phone has been around for far longer. These services, like Facebook, are trying to serve up old school ways to interact, as new! Their not.

"cost anything between £399 and £659 a pop depending on the spec"

If someone else is buying it, they'll all go for 3G top spec at £659 each!

WASTE OF MY MONEY!

"Terabit Ethernet will surely go the same route, from technology dream through standardisation and production to everyday reality"

in 20 odd years. 40Gb is bearly a reality now.

Recording a "set" on MTV on your PVR.

"Taping" music from the radio (as it was)

Photocopying an article for future ref.

Ripping a CD onto your PC to so you dont have to keep changing discs.

...........

...........

It all happens all of the time, it happened in the past, and now the rest of society have finally figured out what a computer can actually do for them, it'll continue to happen in the future. Where were those whinging people in the 70's/80's when 1,000,000's of kids sat infront of the radio "taping" the chart count down?

The industry should have found ways to work with the public and stop trying to sue eveyone.

Like it or not, it's going to happen.

We should be able to sell/trade our licences. Because essentially or not buying a CD/DVD, your purchasing the right to watch the content. Ultraviolet anyone?

IP is just bollox, whether you like that, or not!
