Well they are going to release a new version of Symbian in 2011, which will have an entirely different setup to the current one which was developed back in 2003, so we'll see!Quote:

I have 106 apps! hmm I think that's a lot...
I can't think of 106 bits of functionality I'd want :-s
Oh dear. On the day that Apple announce quite phenomenal profits, Steve Jobs had a slightly neurotic attack at Android, criticising it for calling itself "open" and predicting that the new wave of 7" tablets would fail.
My favourite part was this:
So plurality and choice are bad, are they? Or could it be that Steve's freaked out by the idea of users and developers not being shackled into iTunes?Quote:
In addition to Google's own app marketplace, Amazon, Horizon and Vodafone have all announced that they are creating their own app stores for Android. So there will be at least four app stores on Android, which customers must search among to find the app they want and developers will need to work with to distribute their apps and get paid. This is going to be a mess for both users and developers. Contrast this with Apple's integrated App Store, which offers users the easiest-to-use largest app store in the world, preloaded on every iPhone.
Suppliers and shoppers seem to cope pretty well with having more than one supermaket chain or bookshop, so I'm sure we'll all cope with having alternatives to the Android Marketplace.

Right now I'm loving the Sainsbury's and nectar apps. Having received back somewhere in the region of almost £500 via nectar points in the last 12 months any excuse to get more points and therefore more money back is a good thing to me. :D
The guy's an effing moron. If he genuinely thinks what he's saying he's a moron and if he's saying it just to scare people off then he's also a moron.Quote:

This sounds like the exact sort of person I DON'T want getting his hands on my money.
Word is that they are releasing an updated version of the iPhone 4 - mostly for the American market and Verizon (who for some reason don't use the world wide standard of GSM?! :confused: ) but chances are this model will include an antenna upgrade.
