chubbchubb Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 somewhere at the end of that article was a link to another one, which included a very interesting bit of information: The iPhone now accounts for 39% of Apple's total business....

ratchpot Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 First we had Dubya, who pioneered the use of the "internets". And now Intel seems to be using the "full internet". I suppose the next technological evolution will be the "full internets". I would like to see how the Google performs on the full internets, on the iPhone.

Fidestro Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Having been through two iPhones and multiple repair shipments back and forth I can say that in my opinion it is the most overrated pos phone ever produced. [censored] poor battery life and is way too fragile for day to day use. My most recent one the screen cracked from a fall of about 18 inches vertically onto a pile of sweaters.

Fidestro Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 The iPhone does "miss" a lot of the internet by being unable to display it. Any website with Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash and you are SOL. I don't know if you have noticed but a crap ton of websites use flash.

Chronus Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 The iPhone does "miss" a lot of the internet by being unable to display it. Any website with Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash and you are SOL. I don't know if you have noticed but a crap ton of websites use flash. The only phones I know that handle Flash are the newer Nokia N-series (N82, N95, both with latest firmware, N96) and the E71. That article says that Adobe have made a working Flash version for the iPhone, but for some reason Apple won't implement it... very odd.

Pugwash Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Intel Comments at IDF Taiwan October 23, 2008 "Anand Chandrasekher issued a correction on comments made by members of his team yesterday at Intel's Developer Forum in Taiwan. As general manager of the Group responsible for Intel's ultra-mobility products, he acknowledged that Intel's low-power Atom processor does not yet match the battery life characteristics of the ARM processor in a phone form factor; and, that while Intel does have plans on the books to get us to be competitive in the ultra low power domain - we are not there as yet. Secondly, Apple's iPhone offering is an extremely innovative product that enables new and exciting market opportunities. The statements made in Taiwan were inappropriate, and Intel representatives should not have been commenting on specific customer designs." Oops.

Chronus Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I wouldnt trade my Nokia N-95 for anything... especially an I-Phone. Try the N96 16gb (with memory card slot!). Only downgrade is slightly on the camera, otherwise things are upgraded and it's now on FP2 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
