Odd, then, that you chose to post in the Apple iPhone section of our Smartphones and Tablets forum Smile

Intrigued by the title. When I read it I couldn't make 'head nor tail' of it, hence my post

They can't do an entire website about old Arcam CD players.

Never asked anyone... more and more I feel like a square peg in a round hole.

Had enough.

Come on PP, it was only joshing...

Go and get some rest after your long day; lord knows I understand it's sometimes tough to *get* Internet humour when you're knackered

RE: Three things

I guess thousands of people are feeling a little bit annoyed by Apple tonight.

Whats the word on Tim Cooks performance ?

 

I really think unless you have a built in mic to headphones, instructing your phone to do things will seem silly.  It's easy to say thats the main functionality of a phone, but you will have to watch the screen also, users will look silly ( imo) 

I reckon many techies increasingly have DSLR's now so improved camera seems pointless.  ( other companies do so I understand why)

Interesting they mentioned an F number though, never read that before on press relases and specifications.

I have two SLRs, and take photos for a living, and all of my favorite photos come from my iPhone.  As Chase Jarvis likes to say, the best camera is the one you have with you.  I can see the phone killing the compact camera market for sure.

RE: Three things

I personally carry my dslr on me all the time ( What an internet forum response sorry, haha, I am fairly sure most people dont though) 

Killing the compact camera already I would assume, especially with internet, and sites like fb. 

 

I think they are smart keeping it the same size. Most of these 4 inch screens are just to big.

 

Again I'm sure some people do but I have no desire to watch any video more than a few mins on a phone.

I'm green with envy that you take pictures for a living.

RE: Three things

Start doing it part time then, loads of ways to make your hobby pay its way Smile  Weddings, Engagements shoots, Babies, stock galeries, hanging work in pubs or cafes, all sorts of things you can be doing on a weekend to ease your way in to it.

To be fair, disappointment stems from all the rumours people were fed. Apple has released a better version of the iPhone with really cool features.

We were right to trail the iPod news though... Farewell Classic!

Well you got 50% of the info right and i guess the people who said that there are going to be 3 versions 16, 32 and 64gig got it right but all of it was mainly guess work. Someone would get some of the specs rightin the end 

Guess work isn't news, lets hope people don't make the same mistake again

Yes, I hope this never happens again!

Oh wait, I meant I don't care.

Does it really matter?
