RE: IPhone 4s or 5C?

2013-11-21 Thread Cristóbal
The 5C is basically a 5, but in a different casing. Slightly better camera and bigger screen with a faster chip and bigger battery. If you’re going on contract, then don’t get the 4S. Not that anything’s wrong with it, but why commit to a long term deal for a phone that’s already more than two

Anyone given james a spin? Can they comment as to the accuracy of pronunciation? I've tried different voices and have so far found that the iOS female voice seems to be the best with speaking words in general. James sounds fine in the sample I've listened to, but I'm just curious to know if he's

At the very least your local nbc, cbs and abc affiliates should have their own apps. Local papers if they're big enough as well. In addition to NBC and ABC, I also have KTLA (Los Angeles) on my iPhone. I also have a Bay Area app since I'm from there, but don't have notifications turned on for it
