Apparently, and it's all just speculation, that an iPhone4s/5 will be on the cards in august, I reckon this time I might skip a generation and get my contract soo much cheaper, I can't think of any hardware upgrade that would make me want to upgrade. Sure, I'd like them, apparently bigger screen, better camera, and battery life... but not much more than that. It already does everything I want it too.
I'd like an iPad 2, but they did a really shit move by flooding the iPad 1 market with cheap stock making the second hand iPads worthless.

I'm just wondering, because I love my apple products, and I dont' feel fucked over by them. Sure, they're expensive, but they hold their value well. A high end Merc is also expensive, might not go faster than a porche, but they do other things better.
I can honestly say, Mac products have changed my life, in the respect that I work on them and use them for more hours of the day than not... and it makes things easier for me.

the more it restricts other technologies, and makes the masses pay through the nose for nothing. Keeping up with the ludicrous stuff they do with their iPhones, it's just horrible. Sure you can put your app in our app store, but you must give us 30% of all your take on it, and it must be no more expensive than anywhere else, and you must not give your users any simple way to get the content from somewhere else... ugh cunts.
As far as all the iPad shit though, I heard an interesting soundbite in that there is currently NO market for tablets, only a market for iPads. Whilst some people will look at an Android or WinPho7 phone there is no one looking at other tablets. Not because they're not as good or anything, just because no one *needs* one at all, so you've only got the iFactor to make you want one. Mind control is aces.
they also heavily over promote device specific content. WTF should there be an app for anything? Again it just creates silos to lock users away. Hopefully HTML5 will address it but until then whilst a flash page would suffice for most apps, they have to pick either android or iphone and then get on with it, and whilst android has a larger market share, the apps still appear on iPhone as that's what's seen to matter.
BUT... iPhones do have a nasty habit of "just working". My Galaxy S is definitely a better bit of kit than an iPhone, but it does kinda need fiddling with to get the most out of it. I'm sure there's a decent paedo joke there, but I'm far too respectable for that.

Retail shops have like a 50-100% markup. I'm not sure what technologies you think they've restricted without valid technical reason. They make good products, I 'd say that Blackberry is far worst at creating unvalid fan-lust, they create corporate products yet sponsor T4/MTV etc. Getting content is very open for developers, they libaries for XML/RSS feeds are all there. Their limitations in respect to the App Store (not Mac App Store) allows for security and ease.
iPad is fantastic, it _is_ a new market, but a valid one. You can't stand up on the tube, for example, on a laptop. I use mine all the time. There are alternatives, but in pretty much every tech compairson I've seen in the media, the iPad eaither wins or is on top.
They're slow to release what some call standard features, such as copy'n'paste and notifications, but they do them right. Did WinMo7 come with C&P?
( , Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:13, archived)

an app provides content from a third party. They paid to develop the app, and very very rightly pay royalties to the content provider, a magazine publisher or whatever. Content cost money, so you're possibly paying them 70% of your revenue in the first place, so apple then just take the rest, and you're left with... NOTHING. absolutely fucking nothing.
And you can't just NOT have an iPhone app... how gay does that make you look? You can't compete without an iPhone app... and you cna't compete with no viable revenue stream.
As for WinPho7 I know very little about it, and while Nokia are slowly fading away (See the N9 runs Meego???!?!?! WTF?!??!) I doubt I'll need to.
It's been fun listening to Buzz Out Loud and seeing how the Apple iCould stuff works out, turning out to just be a tin pot file sync service and nothing couldy in the slightest. Yet compared to Google & Amazon it'll probably still be heralded as not utter shit as no one else will be aware of the alternatives. Oh, sounds familiar!

It also handles a lot of things that smaller developers couldn't handle such as credit card stuff securly. They have created a whole new ethos of application revinue; sale them cheap and sale them lots. There are plenty of apps that create huge profits for their companies.

Stuff costs money. I know. 5% sounds fair. 10% maybe.

Yeah', sure, it's quite a sizable cut, but the amount of reach it gets is soo much greater that it makes it financially worth while.
( , Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:32, archived)

their business plan for every other outlet of their stuff has to be underpinned by apple?? If they could increase the iPhone app price to cover the additional costs then fine, but they can't without making the app / service more expensive *EVERYWHERE* W T F?

Still interesting to remember that I think smart phones are still largely prototypes, and these companies are still trying to suss out how to do it, and the technologies required to do it well still don't exist half of the time.

I was so glad that I didn't bother buying a smart phone 2 years ago and waited a bit longer for android to come along. It's the lesser of the evils, but I'm soooo glad I will never feel resigned to just buying an iPhone ever.

but I just find things easier with apple products, they're all compatible with eachother for starters. Ohhh, I forgot another thing that iPhone needs which it doesn't; custom message-tones.

So nice the lack of stupid ringtones now.
I've not written anything for any phone. iphone apps are meant to be conceptually easier to understand as a single entity whilst android apps are lots of disparate unconnected things under a single icon apparently. Keep thinking about having a go at an android app, but I doubt it'll happen.
