i know :( it's all i wanted out of this conference...

Considering I bought my very first iPod 4g 40 GB for €440 back in 2004 €229 really isn't that much though. Can't really remember what I bought my 2007 iPod classic for though, I think it was 80 GB or something.

... no it doesn't. at all. 2.3 doesn't have hardware acceleration and the hardware acceleration in 3.2 is a joke. you tried though...

and what more can a rooted android do over a jailbroken iphone?

From what I'm aware of, the SGS2 at least has a hardware accelerated browser - but that's not Google's doing, it's Samsung's own work.

I think the biggest question why not present it in June? Was they waiting for iOS5 and do they themselves feel its not enough of a jump in tech to call iphone 5?

Its impressive phone on its own, Siri is probably a game changer but I think most where wanting a nice new piece of industrial design or bigger screen.

4G doesn't bother me, at this moment in time I'd prefer the battery life.

i don't understand why everyone wants a bigger screen... the screen that it has now is perfect sized IMO.

And you've been here long enough to know to put someone on ignore if you have a problem with them...

On topic: I'm not impressed... Looks like I'll be staying with Android... I was really hoping for the iphone 5 too...

Not impressed with a Dual Core CPU/GPU, new anntena update, 8MP Camera that also does 1080p Video with image stabilisation and temporal noise reduction?

Thats completely ignoring the Siri voice command 'AI' that lets you use normal speak to command your phone instead of pre-deterimined commands.

The only thing thats stopping them calling it iPhone 5 is the fact that it comes in the same form-factor as iPhone 4.

Not once did Apple say that iPhone 5 was coming, so called tech analysts and unprofessional blog news sites start spreading rumours that iPhone 5 might be coming, everyone gets overhyped and its somehow Apples fault?????

Apple dropped the ball with the one feature they desperately need, a bigger screen. My iPhone 4 will suffice until next year, but if there is no bigger screen by then, I will have to bail ship and go Android.

To be honest, the 3.5" screen is perfect for most people. Sure, Apple could make the bezel around the screen thinner, but my colleagues at work and myself for example would never buy a phone with a larger form factor.

There is absolutely a market for people who want a 4"+ screen on their mobile, all I'm saying is that the market is even larger for people who prefer the current size.

No offense and I don't want to troll at all I'm just genuinely curious what all the demand for a bigger screen is :blink: I know it's personal preference but what do people actually gain from a bigger screen is what I scratch my head over :/ I used old gen iPhones, the iPhone 4, a HTC Desire and a HTC Desire HD and I have to say the 3.7" display of the normal Desire seemed about perfect to operate with one hand while the 4.3" screen of the Desire HD of a friend was a pain to operate :pinch:

I do agree that 3.5" is a bit small but in this case I would say rather a bit too small and comfortable than too big and hand cramping, though maybe I just have small hands :p

+1 I also am part of the group who finds the current form factor the sweet spot. If they can keep it and bring it up to 3.7" okay but please no bigger phone^^

I was expecting a new design, but I suppose if the current design works then there's no reason to scrap it (And it means companies don't have to re-design their cases)

I am glad they didn't jump on the "4G" bandwagon, every company takes that to mean something different so there are compatibility issues (Although it'd be funny if Apple did release the first true 4G phone by using LTE Advanced, but that wouldn't work well)

Personally I don't care about the name, iPhone 5 or 4S doesn't matter it's just a name. The spec bumps are on par with what I expected BUT I was really hoping for a 4+ inch screen :/ If all they were going to do was bump the specs they should have released it in June like they always do.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
