Is is all a matter of volume. M$ is pounding my computer with a constant barrage of security updates. It is frequent and the number of updates I may get in a day is often larger than I wish to count. These are security updates, not giving me any new features. In contrast Apple will go for

Yes, and I think they will. I just do not see them abandoning OSX for iOS. In comparison iOS is a much smaller and easier to support product. Apple would have no need to abandon OSX and strategically it would lose them a lot of credibility. They need to have a real OS on some of their hardware.

Again, you view security updates from Apple as 'features'. Nice for you. On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 6:20 AM, TJPA t...@tjpa.com wrote: Is is all a matter of volume. M$ is pounding my computer with a constant barrage of security updates. It is frequent and the number of updates I may get in a

I went with a friend to pick up his new iphone last night at a local Apple store. We went in the evening and all the walk in phones had been sold so the store wasn't too busy. We waited only about ten minutes before a smiling Apple employee, holding the iphone above her head gathered us up from

There is speculation that part of the problem may be with the software that displays the bars. Sent from my iPad On Jun 25, 2010, at 11:01 AM, mike xha...@gmail.com wrote: We did verify the same problem that is being reported everywhere, holding the phone as any normal right handed person

NO with these reports are the fact that calls get dropped when the person does this. Apple has confirmed that the antenna is in this area, and people should, hold their phones differently. Stewart At 10:48 AM 6/25/2010, you wrote: There is speculation that part of the problem may be with

I've heard both, that is is dropping calls, but the fix is software not hardware. On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 8:54 AM, Stewart Marshall revsamarsh...@earthlink.net wrote: NO with these reports are the fact that calls get dropped when the person does this. Apple has confirmed that the antenna is

Sorry there are so many stories out about it right now hard to keep them straight. Thought they would have done more real world testing on it before releasing it. I read an article that said this one seems to have more problems than usual. Stewart At 11:08 AM 6/25/2010, you wrote: You are

I've never owned a phone you couldn't hold as a *phone* and have it not work. This seems like a strange problem to have slipped by Apple, hopefully it is just a software glitch and can be fixed by an update. On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 9:08 AM, TJPA t...@tjpa.com wrote: You are mixing up two

Someone always writes that. I was having connection problems with my iPad. It turned out to be a problem with my old access point. A guy at Engadget wrote that this was the first time an iPhone had worked at his apartment and it worked great there. Connection problems are hard to figure out.
