O2 takes it to the EDGE

Response to Barry

Barry,

I'm using an iPhone right now and can tell you that, in my experience anyway, you can type with one hand or two (holding the phone horizontally allows for two thumbs and holding it vertically allows for one hand/thumb).

If you want to end a call after looking at other applications or documents while on a call you tap the top of the screen which takes you back to the phone from wherever you are. You can also just push the physical button on the top of the phone to end the call and put the phone on standby.

It's really simple to use.

Microsoft puts a figure on open source 'patent infringements'

Backlash

If MS isn't going to enforce the infringements and violations on their patents, then what is the point of saying anything at all about it??

It seems that they have not considered, or are oblivious to, the fact that people already have a bad Microsoft taste in their mouth after witnessing all of the blatant copying of other companies’ ideas or MS would have kept their mouth shut about Linux. Personally, this just makes me less likely to support or use MS products in the future.

Another laughable comment from MS legal team about the open source developer having to play by the rules of the business - I wish MS would play by those rules... Oh, but then they wouldn't have any features or "novel" ideas for their OS!

MS sucks.
