Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

Google had the same thing and that failed to get much adhesion for the same reason. It really has to be an 'everything' solution for it to have any chance of working, otherwise you end up still carrying around a mix of cards and your phone.

Which is exactly why I'm looking forward to see what/how/if the apple system is. A unified, secure digital wallet would be a genuinely innovative and useful thing.

The possibilities are actually really cool - my phone knows where I am thanks to the gps/wifi. So it could know if I have a store/loyalty card for a particular location. It would also know the card I usually/always use there. So when I come to pay they are already preselected. All I have to do is take out my phone, turn it on ad click the pay app. Money goes from my account, loyalty points are added. Would be great.

From your own link:



The rest of the review is outdated as the fingerprint reader has been opened up for iOS8.

I'm not going to bother selectively quoting from that article and you should really ask yourself why you've just done that.

 

[editor]

a pitiful way to deal with an argument, and poor way of running a forum.

Given the example you're presenting, I don't care about your opinion on how to run a forum.

All you're doing is ignoring any points raised and just posting up nasty abuse. It's disruptive and unpleasant, so stop now.

And porn on the move.

The train/bus wank was a tiresome affair before the advent of mobile internet.

Urban runs on unpleasantness and abuse though.

It's the conclusion. The synopsis. The summary. The point.

I think i've been pretty clear on my points. if anything you have been purposely obtuse with points presented to you.
your anti apple agenda is really showing.
and to be clear - I am not a fan of apple.

That thread about people having no friends was illuminating. So many urbans were angry loners.

It also says a lot more and gives various benefits to the Samsung one which it describes as being rather good. But whatever.

Editor's anti apple agenda is funny. Mainly because he denies it. Getting upset about it is daft.

Stop making posts containing nothing other than random unprovoked abuse and we'll all get on fine.
Keep it up and you'll be banned. Same applies to all posters here.

I am openly anti apple. I can't stand their whole technology-as-premium-priced-fashion bullshit.

Someone saying you've got an anti apple agenda is abuse? Well fuck me sideways.

I hate sardines, if one of you said I had an anti sardine agenda I wouldn't consider it abusive.

And to be honest ed even if you don't have an "anti apple agenda", it honestly really does come across like you do sometimes.

I can't stand that either. But their technology-that-works-with-me-having-to-think-about-it bit is great.

i think my posts are relevant to the discussion. they are about your posts being nonsense.

I am truly ashamed of myself sometimes.

I don't mind thinking

No need to be sarcy now....

Just in case this isn't sinking in: if you carry on posting up posts containing nothing other than unprovoked personal abuse you will be banned. There's no reason why I should have to put up with such constant abuse.

to be clear - am i not allowed to say that i think your posts are nonsense? given that I have already posted a couple of posts detailing why.

That's not what you said though, is it?

 

[editor]

Always good for a stir, eh?! Well done!

Where it would really work is if it also sorted out loyalty cards as well. This was touted years ago, but has never really happened.

Also membership cards, which would be pretty easy (they could presumably just be added to Passbook on iPhones). My wallet is clogged up with membership cards for galleries and the like.

Why do the worst arguments on urban occur in threads about irrelevant shit?

Because it's urban! It's what we do.

pretty much..
my previous post was saying just that. then you quoted that and threatened to ban me.

just want to be clear on where you stand.
