Re: … and buying them a $30.00 case….
Buy them a $30 case? How about gave them a case that retails for $30 but costs Apple maybe $0.05 cents to product and pay the little kids in the factory to make them...they gave them a band-aid to fix their huge design flaw! At least Apple is owing up now...must be cuz Steve is gone...surprised we didn't hear..."you're charging it wrong!"
Re: Perfect opportunity for HTC
You can bet that Apple, Microsoft, and Google will all be hitting up HP to see how much $$ is need to come off all those patents that came with Palm...Microsoft had been eyeing Motorola til Google swooped in. HTC is possible but would they still ship Android and WP7? If so that's a lot of OS's to deal with and I don't see them dropping either one or both to bet all their money on WebOS.
Re: Nokia tried this and failed
Exactly! How about ditching the enormous charging/data port and go with a nice little micro usb port? I bet that will save some space too! Plus they can then sell the rights to produce "apple approved" accessories to any and all headphone companies as it will cause everyone to need to buy a new pair. I bet the charging port is next...make everyone need to get a new ihome and car chargers as well.
Re: cool but...
LOL...you beat me to it! I was g0ing to ask the same question! The US patent office would approve it no questions asked.
Re: Pretty sure Apple wouldn't care...
I know...I mean HTC has only been making touchscreen pda's for almost 10 years now and been coping Apple the entire time...wait a tick..iphone was announced 1-9-07 so how was HTC copying them for 5 years before the phones existed? So if you use Apple logic that means they stoll the idea for the iphone from HTC then right?
I also thinks its funny that the lead patent lawyer for Apple quit yesterday...even he is tired of ...
Re: Who buys Samsung phones?
Software wise Samsung has done nothing...I personally hate TouchWiz (it is an iphone knock-off)and other than Bada (or whatever it's called)those are the only mobile software's I can think of that they developed...but they are not a software company so it should be expected. They specialize in hardware and do a damn good job there. I want to see what they are able to do with the flexible AMOLED displays that should be ready Q2 of 2012.
Re: Who buys Samsung phones?
Well 70 million people bought a Samsung phone in Q1 of 2011 and they made $9.7 billion during that time frame. The Galaxy S also outsold the iphone in Japan during Q1...another sign that the Japanese are smarter than Americans :lol: Not to mention every iphone 4 and ipad has an A4 processor in it made by none other than Samsung and the ipad 2 has the Samsung A5! I'm sure there are no quality issues with those ...
Re: Really?
The "Limon Law" only applies to phones that you pay the deductible on (which is done by a 3rd party...use to be Lockline but I think it changed) and its if you receive three in a row that do not work. If you are going into a Service Center and having the phone fixed or swapped out at no coast they will just keep giving you the same model unless they no longer carry it...I'm on my 7th ...
Re: One word: Awesome.
4.0 runs like a turd on the 3G. Just Google "downgrade iphone 3G to 3.1.3". It might take 4 hours of your life but I downgraded my brother iphone 3G a few weeks ago because the thing was so incredibly laggy it was ridicules that Apple even released a 4.0 version for the phone. I think they did it to make people with the 3G have to upgrade to a 3GS or 4.
Re: Besides for the fact that oracle didn't come up with their own programming language
...make that a ten figure not seven figure check :oops:
Re: Besides for the fact that oracle didn't come up with their own programming language
That's because Sun's CEO was not a long time best friends with Jobs like Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is.
That said, I can see Google making out a seven figure check to Oracle. Even though Oracle did not "write" the code they did purchase Sun along with all their IP which would include any code used in the standard JVM.
Like Blue said, Google knew what they were doing when the hire the ex Sun devs and used them to ...
Re: so the gov says ok for the jail break cust said dont care about warrenty
They may or they do? Is there any documented proof of it because I would love to read it. That's like saying cellphones may cause cancer...they might but there is no proof.
Trust me I fully understand the concept of companies feeding people BS info because the true reasons are not as P.R. friendly...but I guess it's new to you.
Also the "network obligations" Moto is referring
to is because VZW does not want people loading custom 2.2 ...
Re: so the gov says ok for the jail break cust said dont care about warrenty
Apple doesn't care about jailbreaking? Please tell me you are joking?
Why do they tell people it will crash towers then? Why do they come out with new way to make it harder to JB?
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/07 /jailbreak/
Apple likes money...if people jailbreak their phones they can also unlock them. Unlocking means someone can take it to T-Mobile and then Apple is not longer getting the cut of the rev AT&T gives them per their agreement.
Also your warranty theory is only ...
Good job Apple!
I'm kinda shocked they are going to give free cases. :o That was my suggestion when this story first broke, plus the fact that they are going refund those that already purchased bumpers.
Not sure if it is was the whole Consumer Reports story that made them change their tune but non the less this is a least a fix. I though we might see them mention something about a new coating that will be used in ...

Yes...in February of this year.

Re: Merger Question
Unless Deutsche Telekom decides to unload T-Mo USA you'd think it would have to be DT placing a bid for Sprint. There were talks last September about DT submitting a mult-million dollar bid for Sprint after they merged with Orange UK.
Re: Nextel part deux?
Nextel was a mess because of iDen and the fact that Sprint was ,and possibly still is, trying to sell the iDen network. iDen is a dead technology now and was on its way down when Sprint purchased them. The only thing iDen had to offer was PTT which only contractors use any more.
T-Mobile on the other hand is kinda a GMS version of Sprint. Sprint, and VZW for that matter, already sell CDMA/GSM handsets which ...
Re: Apple reminds everyone they can return the phone if not satisfied.
Yet they are giving people false hope in that this "magical" update which will be released in a few weeks will fix it. Well in three weeks it will be 7-23 and anyone that purchased a launch day phone has one day to see if it really fixes it.
If Apple can create a software fix on a phone that will stop your body from absorbing the signal then Jobs really is God. I would then expect a ...
Re: The least they could do...
Anyone that bought one would've had no idea that this was going to be a problem so you can't fault anyone that purchased on. I just do not agree with how Apple has handled the situation so far. In the Tech industry nothing is perfect and there will always be problems/bugs/design flaws. The key is how do you correct the problem and telling people that they are holding the phone wrong or buy a case to ...
Re: Hello? Bluecoyote? Heelllloooo???
My guess would be that his new iPhone can't get a connection while he's holding it making it impossible to log on the PS and comment. :D
Once he breaks out his N1 all will be good again!
Re: The least they could do...
I wondered the same thing about the antennas being connected to the aluminum body when the phone was announced but I'm not an engineer so figured I was wrong. I'm waiting to see if they fix the issue in future builds as I do not see how any software updates could fix this issue as other sites have stated.
The least they could do...
is give free Bumper Cases to anyone that purchases an iPhone 4. Otherwise it should be advertised as $229.99 since it appears a case is required it you want to make calls. I also think it is pretty clear now why the Bumper is the first first-party case they've made for any iPhone. Apple knew there was a problem and the case made for a quick fix at the expense of the end user. So ...
Re: Verizon's answer to the iPhone 4...
Read up blue, you've missed some Froyo and Flash news over the last two days.
Maybe take a break from Android bashing for a day or two and catch up on this.
Google JUST released the source code to Froyo TODAY to devs and manufactures, and here is their press release to prove it. PhoneScoop also posted this is the story above this one.

Re: Google, you made your own bed, now sleep in it.
Ummm...Google made $21 Billion with AdWorks in 2008 and the service launch in 2003. So they've have been in the adverting business for a good amount of time.
With that bing said please explain how Apple launching iAd is not Apple choosing to become a competitor of Google?
Apple seems to be fine with allowing Google info abouts its users when they use the Google maps, Google Earth, YouTube and the soon to release Google Goggles app...but not ads?
It's ...
Re: iAd on Android devices???
AdMob ,which Google owns, already offers an open source ad mediation tool called AdWhirl which allows ads from other networks and they’ve already added support for iAd.
So yes you will see iAd used in Google apps but not vice versa.
Google is already allowing other ad service to make money and Apple is also allowing other ad companies to make money as long as their name isn’t AdMob.
My personal option as to why they are "blocking" AdMob is ...
Re: You don't have to Troll
What makes the info Greystipe collects from their ads (or iAd for that matter) any different or any safer than AdMod?
The funny part about Apple allowing Greystripe is that they use Adobe Flash along with HTML5 for their ads and Apple will continue to allow them to do so. So the iphone and ipad will kinda get Flash but only for ads :cry:
I would love to hear Steve's reasoning for allowing "bad" Flash-ads on iOS but ...
Re: Apple still allows other advertisers...
Wouldn’t every mobile ad company be competition since Apple now has iAd?
Apple doesn’t make money if any other third party ad company is used in an app.
I think they are just starting to really feel the heat from Google and will try anything to slow them down.
Re: Good for them!
My cell data is much much more reliable than the AT&T DLS in my area. Sprint 3G aircards get a faster connection than AT&T 6MBPS DLS...so I will take wireless over landline.
Re: Worth Every Penny...
The $10 is optional. You pay $10 if you want to be able to access WiMax/4G. If there is no 4G in your area there is no need for you to add that premium.
I want WiMax!!
...but Indy isn't even in sight on any of the "Coming Soon" launch city lists.
I want to to pay an extra $39.00/mo so I can get rid of my home isp plus the added bonus of WiMax being faster and portable.
Sprint/Clear better get crackin and start rolling out more groups of cities at a time. VZW is coming with LTE and I'm paying who ever gets it in my area first.
Re: How locked down?
The Pre is not locked down at all once you put the phone is "Dev mode". The VZW Pre is only locked down at the a-GSP level from my understanding and there has been a "patch" created by the WebOS Internals team that fixes that.
I had the Hotspot app on my Sprint Pre before the Pre Plus even launched on VZW. Also people outside the US have installed the HotStop app on their Pre as well.
Re: Indianapolis?
I'm waiting on an Indy launch as well...ready to get rid of AT&T DSL and don't want to ever be a Comcast customer again.
Also to the post below me...the pick-six was more on Wayne than Manning. Wayne ran a weak route and did not cut underneath Porter shielding the ball from the DB. Not to mention Hank (let the ball hit me in the face on an onside kick) Basket and the D letting Brees ...
Re: What is the Hold up already???
I read somewhere that this update may not be an OTA update due to the size of each file...80MB for the Moment and 117MB for the Hero. So Sprints options are either create a desktop update system or use Googles servers, which has not been tested and to do so will push back the release date.
Re: Shoot yourself in the foot...
That is exacly what they want you to do as well as have a Mac Book Pro too for when you need to work. Problem being if there is no Wifi the Mac Book can become not as useful which is where tething with either the ipad or iphone would be a nice addition.
You just throw me off when you said "If there was an issue with teathering then why is the iPad allowed to connect" ...
Re: Palm is irrelevant...
Just keep telling yourself that...but the largest Tech company in the world disagrees with you and spent 1.2 BILLION to avoid Android. That right! They are willing to pay 1.2 Billion to have full control instead of taking Android (which is free) not the mention the money Google pays the OEMs in Search rev to launch Android devices.
Yes Android has over 50k in apps of which a very large amount are lame as hell or Spam. ...
Re: Shoot yourself in the foot...
I think you are confused on what tethering is...every other Smartphone OS (Android, BB, Symbian, WinMo, PalmOS, and WebOS) can be tethered via Bluetooth, USB, or Wifi to act as a modem or Wifi hotspot to connect other internet capable devised to the cell providers 3G network. The ipad cannot tether (I'm sure there is or will be a method via Jailbraking), the 3G version will just be able to connect to At&ts 3G network but will not ...
Re: it benefits Sprint, Tmobile, and smaller carriers
They are trying to make wireless networks work like the landline networks.
Everyone seems to forget that most cellular calls leave your cell providers network once they hit the switch and are passed onto the fiber optic cable of the landline provider in your area. This only happens because the wireless and landline providers work together.
I only see this as a good thing...every provider has areas were service is either bad or non-existant and this would ...
No need...
Just stick with HDMI/mini HDMI since every TV launched in the last 5 years or more has at leat one HDMI imput as well as high end laptops.
Re: CDMA/GSM
They also offer the BB 8830, Samsung Ace and Intrepid (WinMo 6.5), as well as the i920 on the iDen side.
