Is it just me or does the site look optimized for Microsofts Metro interface? I brought the site up in my tablet's (ASUS Transformer) and it looked good there, too. I would say it's almost optimized for mobile devices with the exception being there are a lot of links that are tiny text and are easy to fat-finger in any phone or tablet.
"What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities."
Is this really a problem that government needs to solve?
Here's a link to ICS for my Galaxy S. I haven't tried it yet but I know it's in my future. Current users are finding the latest version practically bug free, not bad?
Samsung may be the father/mother of my device, but it's left its home now.
The President of their company would breeze by the lab. In an effort to keep employee salaries down he would casually mention how everyone in the lab was easily replaceable. I have no idea how one would casually mention this but he somehow managed to work it into the conversation. Needless to say everyone there in the lab got the impression that they weren't wanted. I think in the span of twelve months everyone woman there quit and moved on to better jobs. When my wife moved on she found a job with double the salary and a company that really appreciates her.
Just like on the phone, too, right? That was sarcasm, btw.
I don't agree with their assessment and I am assuming they're putting on a nice face for investors. I think most users will consider this as a cool eReader that they can play Angry Birds on, not an Android tablet.
No it wasn't; I own an iPhone 3G and it stalls and stutters doing anything. It's consistently done that for the entirety of its service. My wife bought the 3GS and _that_ was when we saw much of the UI lag go away.
I moved on to Android and own a Galaxy S - there's virtually no UI stutter at all, I only see delays on shutting some programs or launching a few apps. My wife recently bought a 4S and it's very smooth, but don't tell me that iOS has always been this smooth because you're looking back with rose-colored glasses.
A locked boot loader is the entire reason why I won't be buying a Motorola Droid Razr. I really like the looks and features of it but what happens if they refuse to update the OS to fix potential issues down the road? The fact that I can hack (and have done so) my Galaxy S and upgrade the OS as well as uninstall all of the bloatware is immensely appealing to me.
Interesting subtext beneath the article - with Jobs gone once again Apple is going to slow down and eventually die. I'm sure I'm not the only one that read that in the article; there will definately be a lot of, "Can Apple continue to innovate now that Jobs is gone?" articles in the coming year.
Unless he passed on to someone his vision for what he sees as the future of the iPhone or communications in general, I think Apple will begin to flounder again and eventually fade off into history.
