[CGUYS] Wozniak solves two iPhone problems
Woz has found a single solution to iPhone's lack of multitasking AND its short battery life: Yeah. I just have two iPhones, so if the battery runs down on the first one, I can use the other. And if I'm talking on one, I can use the other one to look something up. You would not believe how much use I get out of that. It's so EASY.

Brilliant! Isn't this the guy who carries more than most people make in a year in cash everywhere he goes too?

[CGUYS] domain value

[CGUYS] It's an app world, and it could swallow all computing
This is a good illustration of the point I was trying to make. The times they are a changing... The sea change here is that people are gradually moving away from spending time with TV and computers to their mobile devices and that mobile time is increasingly less about talking and all about apps. He points to recent statistics prepared by Morgan Stanley tech analyst Mary Meeker showing that typical cellphone users now spend 30% of their 40-minutes-a-day average on data, and iPhone users spend 55% of their 60-minute average on non-talking phone activities. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2010-03-31-1Aappworld31_CV_N.htm * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] It's an app world, and it could swallow all computing
I don't think this is a shocking development as the usefulness of these devices becomes greater. I rarely talk on my android phone, I'd say 90% of my time is on apps/sms etc. On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 3:41 PM, tjpa t...@tjpa.com wrote: This is a good illustration of the point I was trying to make.

Where I work, employees without iPhones have become so annoyed by employees who do have them and spend waaayyy to much time messing around with those phones, that we have taken to openly cajoling and criticizing them about the time they waste on those toys. It has gotten to the point where the iPhone addicts are now trying to find ways to avoid being detected by coworkers as they read and write e-mails, check Facebook accounts or otherwise cause production logjams because of their addiction problems. Nobody is actually getting mad about any of this...yet. But, it is very annoying, sometimes critically so, when iPhone freaks are so possessed by whatever is taking place on their phones that they cause others to have to wait for answers to questions about jobs or will allow their phones to interrupt virtually anything related to the work at hand.

Do you think that all those folks who are driving down the highway while tapping the keys of their phones are texting? A lot of them are playing Farmville or watching the latest Desperate Housewives. Some may tout the usefulness of all those apps, others will bemoan the all-too-common uselessness of them.

Re: [CGUYS] It's an app world, and it could swallow all computing
If you really want the Droid the best deal I've found is through the free Borders Books Reward card. The Borders Card has an associated club- Borders Rewards Perks that offers a Droid for $50 for upgrading current subscribers and $20 for new subs through Wirefly. I've been holding off to see how the Nexus will be offered at Verizon but my EnV is getting long in the tooth and the battery even more so. The word is that the Droid just got up graded to the current Android 2.1. That is the biggest flaw in Android marketplace- The OS doesn't get upgraded on many older phones so that an App that works on one version of the OS might not work on another version of the OS.

Re: [CGUYS] It's an app world, and it could swallow all computing
I will be sticking with Verizon because of the service area where I live. I have been looking at the Droid. My son absolutely wants the Droid. (Will be twenty in May more phone that I think he really needs.) Right now they have a 2 for one offer, but you have to have a contract coming up to use the second one, and my sons is not till the end of April. So I am patiently waiting. My Env2 (bought used) has a flaky recharge circuit. Sometimes it will only last a day and other times it will last for a few days. This also affects the Bluetooth, so I cannot use bluetooth with it. (drats!) I have looked at the Droid and the Devour. Both nice phones and most reviews are pretty good. I signed up for Borders rewards, so we will see. The two for one is only available on Verizon's website. Stewart At 07:47 PM 3/31/2010, you wrote: If you really want the Droid the best deal I've found is through the free Borders Books Reward card.

Re: [CGUYS] It's an app world, and it could swallow all computing
I don't know, I've liked the look of the devour much more than the droid even though the latter has a better screen and faster CPU. Personally after seeing moto's front end for android I think I'd put the standard android home screen or slidescreen instead of moto's blur. Another point I appreciate about android, if I don't like the front end, I can choose any of half a dozen others.
