Fragmentation hasn't been a problem for Windows, which supports literally billions of combinations of hardware; and it's not really been a problem for Android since the bad-ish old days of 2.2.
...

Thing is though, it's market share is tanking now that halfway decent Android tablets are available for well under £100, and really good ones for under £200. This xmas the shops will be full of...

Missing Instagram is a plus, surely? :p

I use an app called SwiFTP on my S3 which, as you might expect, brings up the entire file system as an FTP location which you can drag/drop to/from.

Regarding the UI, I always maintain that out...

Righty ho, I'm back. Have a look here: http://sdrv.ms/13y6gi7

I would like to move the Amazon app into the Shopping category, Cut The Rope into Games, Dropbox into Photo, and so on. There is...

Sort of but no. When I'm back at a my pc I'll post some screenshots. I don't want to get too hung up on this one matter though, it's just one trivial example among dozens of how the interface is...

You misunderstand. Obviously you can set default programmes - it's not iOS! :p

I meant that there's an option to group apps/programmes by type on whatever we're calling the tiled interface this...

"To just communicate"? That's SOOOOOO 2009 :p

I'm only partially joking. I use my phone to do at least half of my shopping, as a price comparison tool when I'm in a bricks-and-mortar retailer, to...

Personally I think it's worse than the claims are. This may sound like the ratings of a luddite who doesn't like change, but I've been using Windows since Bruce Forsythe was in short trousers, and...

Some might say that by preventing you from hearing Mick Hucknall, Microsoft were doing you a massive favour :p

I've not used a Windows tablet beyond a bit of tinkering in a shop, but I've been...

At a guess I'd blame a cheap knock-off charger. I've ordered Chinese electronics from eBay and some of the stuff I've seen is shocking - literally occasionally. If mains voltage found its way into a...

I used to manage stores for one of their rivals, and the short answer is "a-holes".



Quite. The worst customers are the "I know my rights" brigade, who invariably don't, but once saw an...

"Sequence shortened" is almost as bad as "Not actual gameplay footage", and neither have any place in adverts. :angryfire

How about: no operating system or in fact any product manufacturer should ever introduce any feature or style which was ever on any other product before it then screen nauseating TV adverts implying...

At least they've finally killed off skeuomorphism in iOS, but there's not really anything particularly innovative. Notifications centre has been standard on Android for several years, and now Windows...

That sounds like the old timeshare selling technique: a "free" meal where you're plied with cheap booze and given a hard sell until you give in and sign just to get some peace and quiet!

That used to be the case, in fact it was embarrassing how many major companies trumpeted their iOS apps while leaving Android out in the cold, but is that really the case now? Apart from the woeful...

Everybody seems obsessed with this eye-scrolling trickery (which if it's anything like the temperamental "smart stay" on my S3 will be switched off sharpish by most users), when actually there are...

Motorola M301 for me! The battery alone was the size of 3 iPhones. I was so glad when I switched to Orange and upgraded to a Nokia 5.1, which felt futuristic in comparison.

Older readers may remember that One-2-One used to give free calls within your own dialling code, or in neigbouring codes. Why they based it on landlines I'll never know, but anyway. I spent an...

I forgot all about IE10, I've just tried it for the first time.

Yuk. Back to Chrome... :s

Right on cue, here's the Telegraph with an article on the failure to agree on any kind of standards:
Industry divisions hold back wireless power - Telegraph

It's almost certainly to do with DRM - copyright protection, basically. Does your TV support DLNA? If so you may be in luck but I suspect between Sky and Apple they've got it pretty well locked down....

But why would you pack a charging mat? Imagine they're standardised and so commonplace that all your mates have one, there's one on your desk, one on your train table, in your hotel room... See the...

Power sockets and chargers are in theory standardised, in the EU at least, but there's still one company which refuses to play ball. But yes, iCharge will probably be a game-changer and the beginning...
