re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
It cannot be unlocked, either via software or via hardware. The unlocked phones you see selling on the market are one that Apple itself sells unlocked in countries like Australia, England, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
The only reliable unlocking...
When you should get a Mac:
You have used a Mac and think that Mac OS X is the best operating system ever made and cannot imagine using any other operating system now.
When you should not get a Mac:
You work in an office or go to an educational institution that demands that you use...
I know, which is why I asked you to go take a look at it.
I am not going to get involved in this Mac versus PC debate all over again but you would be doing a disservice to yourself if you have an Apple Authorised Reseller in your city and do not at least go there once and use a Mac for a little...
Hey, guys.
Although I am sure there are hundreds of them out there, they are ridiculously difficult to find. Can you guys recommend some great science and nature documentaries (preferably in high definition)?
The ones I have so far are:
Arctic Tale
Crash Science: Airplanes
Deep Blue...
Again with the hardware comparisons. When will you guys learn that a computer is more than just the sum of its parts? When comparing a Mac to any other computer, the only factor that matters if whether you like Mac OS X or not. That’s it! If you like Mac OS X, buy a Mac; if you don’t, don’t...
Heh, the lack of games is not really a valid argument against Mac OS X anymore. Visit this URL and check out the “Mac Games Now Available” column on the left. A lot of the bestsellers on Windows are regularly being ported over to Mac OS X now and it even has Steam on it now. And that’s not to...
I agree, that sort of gross generalisation was in bad taste. My humble apologies.
@gagan007,
That Apple PR you posted is eight months old. In the most recently concluded quarter, the iPhone alone brought in revenues of $5.44 billion for Apple and Apple also reported that the profits were...
Oh, I didn’t hurt your feelings and your “patriotic” sensibilities now, did I? The term “third-world countries” is indeed widely disputed though, so let me rephrase it. I meant poor countries where a majority of the population lives below the poverty line. Like India, for example.
Was that...
Why would Apple want to “catch up” to Nokia? The point of being in the market is to make profits and Apple’s revenue share is actually higher than Nokia’s in the cellphone market, even though they only have a fraction of Nokia’s market share.
Nokia’s business model, like Microsoft’s, is based...
You know what, most of his descriptions are exceptionally accurate. We Indians really should learn to be less emotional when reading criticism about our country and just accept it for what it is. I see Indians railing about the USA all the time, both online and off, and no American ever gets...
Apple and the developers behind those games, yes. Why, is it wrong to do so?
The iOS platform has the cheapest games compared to all the other platforms out there. If you’re not even willing to pay Rs. 100 - Rs. 500 for the likes of Need for Speed and Real Soccer, well, you’re just a thief.
Android 2.2 definitely has a faster JavaScript rendering engine than iOS 4.0, but like everything else in the tech industry, they will just keep leapfrogging each other and both their engines will keep becoming progressively faster.
@techmaniack,
I do not know which city you live in but if you have any Apple Authorised Resellers (like iStore, Imagine, etc.) where you do, walk into one of them and take a look at a Mac. They will allow you to freely use the Mac for as long as you want and you can have them point out the...
