Out here in the sticks if not on wifi I only have GPRS which is painfully slow so I usually don't bother with it, I've noticed the same in some towns I've been in but 3G is a decent enough speed for me. Sort out more widespread coverage as Mark says - I'd far prefer that to 4G :)
That's why I said 90% and not 100%. Anyway why are you guys (henners, malbec and pino) so heated up, do you feel you are part of those 90%?Quote:

They've all captured a solid place in the market and all are making products that have found their way into consumers' hearts and homes. Since the initial post in this thread, I feel that is the perspective that has been missing. In 2-3 years, I can't say with any confidence whether Nokia or RIM (in their current forms) will even be around. But I'm relatively certain that Apple, Samsung and Google will still be doing rather well. Microsoft (as a stock), who knows? But I certainly think the company will at least be slogging along... and maybe they'll finally get it right too. People have often tried to *create* reasons to explain away Apple's success, or made excuses to explain away the failures or stumbles of certain other companies. But the way I've always seen it, the kid who makes the A on a test understood the material and studied. The kid who made the F, well, excuses aside, he just didn't get the job done. Odd that the only ones who ever experience the dog eating their homework are the kids who typically make F's anyway though, eh? :DQuote:

Now, I'd just love for Apple (or somebody) to buy or partner with TiVo and give us something better than the ancient channel-surfing technology that viewers still have to deal with. Various music services and apps will go out and create playlists based on your past listening habits. But aside from the (barely) half decent job that TiVo does in recommending shows or movies, there's really nothing out there that I find all that compelling. For the most part, we still have to know what show we want to watch before we're able to watch it. Why hasn't the TV and movie industry embraced predictive, behavioral technology by now??? Maybe that's a question for another thread.
I have just joined the iPad owners club :)
Well done. iPad 2 or 3?
I've thought about getting one but they seem too big. I'm waiting for the iPad Mini.
3 - 64Gb, they only had them in black, would've preferred white but hey ho, will do the same inside.
My dad's had an iPad 2 for a while now and every time I've had a shot of it thought that I could do with one. Screen size seems ok to me.
None of them I would guess. But you can get a Kindle Fire for £130
One about a quarter of the size of the iPad with phone capability would be nice ;)Quote:

It won't be any more expensive than getting an HTC for me.
Good phone signal has been important to me since a few years ago I was on Mull at the rally and, when attempting to call in sick to work (ahem) in my previous job, I didn't have any signal at all so couldn't :eek: That took some explaining :s
But I believe Vodafone has good coverage on Mull and all competitors must carry a mobile that uses Vodafone for use in case of emergency :up: Just a shame I couldn't use it then :p :
