whoah woah whoah whoah.

hold the fuck up.


do you mean to tell me, and I just want to make sure I'm getting this straight, that there is a shop which sells both android AND iphone handsets???

[Stalk3r]

if its any consolation to your withering penis at all, my moneys on neither product being genuine

[TnT]

Fuck imagine that. Those crazy Asians, selling iPhones and Android phones in the same store... if only we had one of these magical stores here. That would be truly amazing.

[ipee]

It's actually an Android store....that sells Apple products. Yep you definitely won't see that magical shit here.

[Icarus]

Has anyone got a foolproof USB driver for the SGS2? the Kies one is shit.. really.
Changed PC's and I forgot what the fuck I did to make it go last time, or maybe I got lucky.

Just in case there was any doubt:

Google patents handset sensors that exist to target advertising based on your environmental conditions.

Wow, you guys are ACTUALLY retards.

Right, let's put it to the whole forum. Hands up Windows Phone users that are disappointed they can't play Angry Birds Space on their phone?

*waits*

Right, like I said, NOBODY cares. Next!

Advertising company patenting advertising technology... what is the world coming too!!

[p01s0n]

my flatmate has a winmopho7series, some htc thing. yesterday his battery went from fully charged to 10%, just idling, in 3 hours.

lmao

[CCS]

Cool story braholio.

[MoP]

I bet p01s0n's iPhone actually gains charge while idling

[p01s0n]

why would you make such an outlandish claim?

my iphone is an iphone4, which means whilst it's the second best phone on the planet (to the iphone4s) it's still just a regular iphone4 and nothing special as far as iphone4's go.

[Baal]

I'd sell my phone if it couldn't play angry birds and buy one that could. True story.

Actually enough Windows Phone users cared and complained loud enough that Rovio have now backtracked and will be bringing Angry Birds Space to Windows Phones

I am assuming that the Windows Phone users in question all had email addresses that end in @microsoft.com and the complaint took the form of a transfer of a large sum of money.

[chiQ]

We gets some emails asking for games to be ported to Android, but to Win and Blackberry not so much. Maybe five to ten between them in the 20 months I've been here, versus triple figures for Android.

[p01s0n]

*requests to have pikpok game ported to android*
*gets knocked back*
*organizes signatures, convinces pikpok to port game*
*game is released on playmarket or whatever the fuck it's called now*
"THREE DOLLARS?? AND NO AD-SUPPORTED FREE VERSION?????"
*pirates pikpok game*

[chiQ]

No. The prices and availability of free ad-supported stuff are the same across both platforms. The piracy, while there, isn't as bad you you might think, and also exists on iOS. We don't do petition requests. We port when practical, if viable.

[Deadmeat]

Oddly I still can't pay for Angry Birds. Rovio why do you hate my money?

Meanwhile:
Microsoft/Nokia resort to paying app developers to develop for their platform since there are no users to demand apps.

The number of apps available in the Windows Phone Marketplace now exceeds 65,000, surpassing those at another rival Research in Motion's BlackBerry store. But that is still far short of around half a million apps available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, according to app researcher Distimo.

Worse still, only 37 percent of developers are keen to make apps for Windows Phone, showed the latest IDC/Appcelerator survey. That number, slightly down from the previous survey, compared with the 89 percent interested in iPhone and 79 percent in Android phones.

The joke is that android users are cheap/stingy.

[chiQ]

Many Android users are not financially independent yet.

Fact: Fisher Price's My First Cellphone runs Android.

Wouldn't Fisher Price's My First Clock be more appropriate?
