What is wrong with the thread title? Apple is getting a taste of its own medicine! It was petty with its your phone looks like our phone, your pad looks like our pad and we hold the patents for so lets get it banned in as many countries as we can.

However Apple has fallen foul of its own pettyness by incorperating someone elses technology into its device and not paying royalities on the technology.

I have no idea who you are Jack and TBH I really don't care but it seems you are nothing but a troll, either that or you really believe the BS you spout about the mark you so definetively defend. Maybe at the begining it was funny but now you are just a sad little man and everyone apart from you and your handfull of deciples sees it.

Also just out of curiosity what were you doing in Bagdad 23 years ago?

 

I'm a troll?? "In your face Apple" have a word with yourself.

 

IN YOUR FACE CLARK!

 

ha ha, all this is insane. I'm an apple fan, so what? my mate is android user - again so what, aslong as it does what you personally need who cares, I just like the way the apple stuff works & how reliable its all been for me.

 

Share price has gone up again, cheers.

 

Define 'works'

 

really!?
ios system, internet, texting, emails, amazing amount of apps, docks etc like my home audio surround system i have a yamaha dock so my yamaha amp controls the phone for the tunes etc & charges it, wireless sync, icloud so all pics (or whatever else) is put on each ios device thats all from off top of my head.
but in all seriousness, it does what i need it to do, like people who like android phones, they just do. I do not understand why people have such an issue, its only a phone or tablet etc, you just buy which you like, think its a bit weird why people have to go on about how they have 'issues' or hatred towards certain companies like apple.

 

Sorry I was being a little facetious, but if you had just been through the last few weeks I had with re-encoding a client's videos to H264 MP4 because of Apple's refusal to support Flash and then because they decide to implement different and sometimes incompatible H264 encoding formats on their different devices having to try and find one that works with no help form Apple themselves you would be a bit hacked off with them especially as all the different H264 encodes play on Android.... as does WMV of course

 

ha ha dont envy that job!

 

Someone please stop the whining.

 

Aye, hearing that your chosen brand's devices aren't as good as the competition's hurts doesn't it my friend?

 

No, it's been a bit of a nightmare really. Searching on Google makes me relaise I am not alone though....many people still can't get videos purchased on iTunes to work without running them through a converter ... LOL!

 

It's all subjective though if you ask snazzy he will tell you blackberry is best as that suits his needs.

I know people on other forums who will say windows phones are best, for me I prefer iOS having owned a galaxy s2 which is probably the best android has to offer, I went to an iPhone 4 instead as it suits me better.

 

Well Ihave a Desire and an iPhone4 in front of me for testing purposes and things I have noticed are;

The wi-fi sometimes takes about 15 seconds to re-engage on the iPhone, instant on the Desire.

The Desire has a file system I can access just by connecting it to a computer and can then copy files .... the Iphone makes me jump through hoops.

The Desire plays all MP4s I have come across... the iPhone does not.

The Desire plays WMV files.... the iPhone does not

The iPhone slider doesn't always work especially on incoming calls.

The Desire is better to hold (IMO) and doesn't drop its signal when not in a case.

The Desire plays Flash.... the iPhone does not

The iPhone does have Facetime which is very clever and very good, not seen anything similar on the Desire

The Desire seems better on battery life, but I think the iPhone4s has addressed that.

They are both good devices, but the Apple offering seems very restrictive to me.... which of course may have its advantages malware wise etc. but I like the Desire's ease of use. You can just make it do the simple things you would expect it to... the iPhone is fine if you think the Apple way I guess.... sadly I don't.

 

i see what your saying F1 fan, but you are supposed to use the iphone & other i devices with itunes own music/videos etc which have no issues ....... android stuff is more like a computer why its 'easier' for people to do the wmvs and mp4 stuff etc. swing & round abouts i reckon. Will let you know about the battery life of the iphone 4s when its delivered to me in the next few days

 

So what you are saying is you need to carry atleast 2 Apple devices around with you in order to be able to do what one android device does very well?

Not exactly a glowing reference for what is supposedly the best iPhone ever or the best smartphone on the market is it?

 

why why why & how have you come up with that? i do not need two devices at all, iphone works for me very well, if i wanted a phone which worked with everying my pc did i would buy a windows phone or similar,

you seem to like android style, who gives a flying **** about apple this or android that, getting daft why people keep banging on about it something you dont own/like? i have one & like it but do not go on about how i dislike android style, kinda daft arguement, you just buy what you personally like. its only a company, if you dont like it, dont buy it & get on playing with your own

all this apple does not do this apple does not do that is kinda if they are as bad as people say, why are they selling,why buy them? an no its not some sarky answer to that implied question, its because it suits that particuler persons needs.

 

If you are bored with the subject, why fuel the fire?
You say you don't care, but you defend Apple when anyone has a slight issue with the fruit company.
'Oh, you have to buy another Apple product for this or that to work properly.'

All you are doing is digging yourself into a hole my friend.

 

So are you saying I'm a liar... those are facts in my post matey... facts gleaned after a good few weeks testing with these devices.

Why do people buy Apple? Because if you are happy to use the world of iTunes/Mac etc. and be restricted by a tech company's rules and regulations then fine.... oh that and world class marketing of course.

 

no hole, just wondering why 'haters' keep banging on about them. if you dont like it, dont buy & take no intrest with it

 

exactly

edit to say, how did i call you a liar , looking into the wording abit too much there, you aint lying, all i said was apple i tunes is meant for i devices & there is no issues. cant see how you saying apple does not do this etc (which what you were saying IS true) i called you a liar

never mind, cant wait for my iphone 4s with all its limitations, i just hope it will text & ring other phones

 

F1_fan, clearly you are happy with the desire, I had a desire hd and it was ok as a device I don't agree it's a nicer handset to hold than the iPhone but again it's personal preference, I changed that for a galaxy s2 which IMO makes the desire seem very slow in comparison, you should get one.

As for why I moved to apple, apart from the iTunes which I mentioned earlier I also have an iPad now which I bought before the iPhone and I love the syncronisation between the two via iCloud, for me android could not match that even if I had bought the galaxy tab to go with the s2.

I now have my iPhone for when I'm out and my iPad at home and I know I can access the same content on both without having to think about the mechanics behind it, it just works and that's why I moved to apple.

 

yep another feature which i like for me phones & ipad

 

After the success of the iPad this is how everyone manufacturer and his dog panicked trying to play catch up

 

Really? Bloomberg is quoting -0.45%
Must be this stupid jealous Android app

 

No worries, just the bit where you said 'if they are as bad as all that...'... well they are, it's just some people don't notice because they don't use them for things like that.

I don't use either, just had them here for testing purposes. Just giving my observations.

The Desire had no problem transferring fles to/from a computer, plays all media formats and generally just works. The iPhone in comparison either doesn't do some of the things the Desire can do in this area or is a pain in the **** and for no good reason.

That is nothing to do with perosnal choice and everything to do with the devices' capabilities.

 

Nope, I would actually say the S2 takes care of all my needs like games, video, and app interaction, and my Blackberry is still the only thing any good for writing long emails and blog entries.

So ner

 

It must be!

But my comments don't count anymore as iJackClark pointed out previously that I'm only a kid :rolleyes

All this iPhone vs android is a bit gay really isn't it?

We've this debate numerous of times on here and it's going round in circles.
