As I say, you're entitled to your personal opinion - I'm just pointing up the empirical evidence that when people have a choice, they chose better.

You tried to say that microUSB connectors weren't a standard, that there was variation. Point is, the EU mandate that everything has them, so everything is moving that way. Its certainly much more of a standard than anything apple, and will only become more so. It does mean that there is real competition, which is why you pay $3 for a micro USB charger, and $30 for an apple adapter.

Wouldn't buy a smartphone that didn't have them. Key to a usable experience, your UI should be more than an app tray.

Re: ISo 6 update
 

I'll take back my pointing the microusb as I was under the impression that the connector varied between vendors. The new apple one is superior though.

If the iPhone 5 outperforms any current android phone, surely IOS is proving itself to be worthy. The available apps obviously makes it a winner. Android is too fragmented and a nightmare for developers.

Surely you can do a better job at explaining how useful widgets are?

So with all the dick waiving...apart from the link I first posted...have any of you actually helped the OP fix the iOS6 wifi problem?

And the maps really are ungodly shit in comparison to the old google ones and well slow.

Re: ISo 6 update
 

Yes, we suggested a different phone :p

Yes, maps are rubbish compared to google maps.

Re: ISo 6 update
 

This is a good question - I have just discovered (this morning) that my project rolling out 1500 iOS devices into a commercial setting is in mortal peril thanks to the crappiness of iOS6, hanging on by a fluke of good luck and firewall ruling! :(

Let hope apple release some kind of patch that fixes the problem soon!

Re: ISo 6 update
 

IOS 6.0 has more holes than Swiss cheese! Battery life alone is severely compromised so unless you really need it wait for 6.0.1 when it should be sorted. Currently it's barely beta quality.

i dont understand widgets

Re: ISo 6 update
 

They sit in the bottom of cans to make stout froth up better.

Re: ISo 6 update
 

Small programs that run within the launcher to give you direct access to information and control of particular apps, without selecting and running that app - and having it take total control of your screen to the exclusion of all else.

So you can see the current news, weather, new emails, control music playback, see how much credit is left on your mobile account, turn off wifi, see what the traffic is going to do to your commute, see your diary for the day, how the £ is doing against the $, and what's worthwhile watching on TV - all from one screen, at a glance.

Think user defined dashboard.

For a mobile device, its more just sensible for the use case - its basically a requirement for a 'smart' device. You can tell those who have migrated over from iphones because they populate their homescreen with just icon links, rather than taking full advantage of widgets and what they can do for you.

I still don't know why my password for wifi at home still won't work on my iPhone at home since upgrading. Not going to upgrade the iPad until I can sort it out :)
