Was more of a throwaway whinge than an actual serious comment, but even so... this is really, really poor.

If it was MS, they'd have patched it by now...

Well Steve Jobs stood up in public and said he loved you and that your user experience is what drives Apple. I reckon he owes you big time...

Ewww.

:D

I'll settle for a working repeat alarm clock.

Although, the settings reset some people advised DOES seem to have caused the battery issue (lasting only 8hrs on standby!!!) that seemed to be setting in on my 3 month old phone to go away...

So, small mercies. :)

Yeah right, they have taken weeks to fix known critical security exploits on Windows. One where if you browse to a web site it can take control of your machine.

An alarm bug? Your on another planet

Can you not relate the first sentence to the second, or something? Or are you just so snobbily superior you have to sneer down at everything?

Prick. :D
 
OK since the new 4.x software release my 3G iphone has been running like a dog. Have Apple got any plans to rectify borking 3G phones, if not I shall not touch their products with a shitty stick again.

Performance is poor on the 3G with newer software. People moaned when iOS 4 first came out, Apple/Jobs made some quiet noises about making it better, a later update made it faster again in some places but in other areas it is still painfully slow. My guess would be that they arent going to do anything more to rectify this, indeed whilst I dont think they have deliberately made it slow on the old handsets, they probably dont care that much and figure it will encourage people to get a newer model. You never know though, version 4.2 will be out fairly soon but I really am not expecting any improvement from it but could get lucky I suppose.

The inevitable daft class action suit has started up in the states over this, with a Biana Wofford "accusing Apple of using the iOS 4 upgrade to maliciously cripple the iPhone 3G, boosting sales of the iPhone 4."

Even though Apple has actual knowledge of thousands of complaints from iPhone 3G/3GS consumers, Apple does not allow for those same users/consumers of third generation devices to download and re-install earlier and optimized iOS3.x operating system without resorting to 'hacker' tactics that will void Apple warranties and violate iPhone user agreements

Its going to be a while before a phone can run full flash to play a decent game on a phone. 1Ghz low power cpu's are fast but not really up to the job that I've seen.

The new dual core ARM models might be better.

What people are also forgetting is the interface mapping and that isn't trivial. Many flash games require a keyboard that many new phones don't have and full Flash was never designed for mobile so developers are assuming what its running on has all these interface options.
 
Pulled by the developers - it was too popular and overloaded their transcoding backend
 
There is another browser that allows you to play Flash using the same technique, but it's only available in the US App Store. I don't recall what it's called.

There's also Frash, but that won't play videos, and needs a jailbroken phone.

This is a very very important point, for any touchscreen device (iphone, other smartphone, kiosk, whatever) - flash games make heavy use of code along the lines of: onRollOver, onRollOut type actions of the mouse, which simply doesn't translate to touchscreens without some extra development work when building the game.
 
Just found a sausage recipe app for 59p but no reviews. Not sure about it yet but maybe after a couple more ciders. Review to follow.
