Does anyone care any more. The Samsung Tab is a flop anyhow, they can't give them away.

Thanks Andyroid, I'll make sure I don't plug my iPhone into a hackers modified docking station any more. I used to do that about as often as Android users install Apps from Google Play, both devices have their flaws I suppose.

Probably about 10 million times, I'm going to be busy, but if Andy says it's a risk then it must be.

What bad sales? Sales are up. If an iPhone at a lower price point appears then it's good for everyone is it not? I know if my budget was low I'd rather not give my money for a badly manufactured Android device with an unsupported operating system that's fun for five minutes. Slip your new iPhone in a nice case - customisation - and enjoy.

You too could have a half priced track pad. which should be part of the keyboard to start with - but that would mean less profit for apple

Oh please. I'm guessing you're using a plastic mouse that's part of your keyboard. The Magic Trackpad is awesome, brought new life to my 7 year old MacBook. Gestures man, guestures.

Exactly, he's desperate.

When you buy an iMac you choose, trackpad or mouse, simple. You want both you pay. I have both as I like a change now and then, but the Trackpad is better for day to day use, especially as OSX is written with it in mind, not some add on driver that might cause more trouble than it's worth.

Truth is whether its an Iphone or Android based phone they are all ****e. I recently had to get a new phone as my Blackberry 9700 completely shat itself but considering the amount of years i've had it and the abuse its taken, it did very well. When choosing a new phone, i dismissed nearly every phone the guy in the shop showed me due to the size of the thing.

Ended up settling for a Samsung S3 mini and I still think its too big but there doesn't seem to be any middle ground with phones anymore, they are either incredibly cheap or touch screen tablets called phones. A month on from getting the S3 Mini, I wish i had of just bought a second hand 9700.

Same with a PC, if you want a trackpad keyboard buy one...

imessage was good until the phone updated to ios5, then it was so full of bugs i switched it off. The next 2 updates did not appear to fix the issues.
In your earlier post you said "apple is not pirate friendly" which is true but like apple you are assuming its copyrighted files i want to share which was my original point. If i am emailed a personal media file i can not download that file from my email onto the iphone. Something i can do easily on my galaxy s3.

What are you talking about? Separate the two what? Who has a keyboard, trackpad combo... that's right, nobody. How do you separate something that's not joined? The magic mouse has a kind of trackpad on top and it's marvellous but you could hardly call it a Magic Trackpad.

I could watch or listen to the media file from my email using a media player app but what i couldn't do was download it onto my phones memory to watch or listen later while off line. I would need my email client open to play the file. Is there an iphone app that allows you to download files onto the device from the internet without using itunes and a pc ?

Of course there isn't an app for it, you don't need it because Apple says so.

Main headline! LOL.

What about Airdrop. What about the new Mulititasking. I could go on but you're blind to innovation and just see icons.
