Fascinating analysis of what goes on in the background on an iPhone or iPad as you listen to the radio or open a few (mostly Australian) apps — both in terms of bandwidth wastage, privacy and security: Secret iOS business; what you don’t know about your apps
Not that I’d expect Android to be much better; it’s all in the hands of the web/app authors, after all.
Some thoughts on the iPad.
It looks like a giant iPhone. Having no lid to cover up the screen seems odd.
Some are ripping into its faults, including no iBook feature outside the USA (at least initially), no camera, no USB port, no memory card reader, no Flash support, no multitasking. Yikes.
But I do love the comments about the screen being bigger than an iPod/iPhone, like this is some revelation nobody thought of before.
“A larger screen means that games can be more immersive, as well as allowing for higher detail and bigger animations,” said Peters.
A bigger screen! Amazing!
You mean… just like every other notebook or desktop computer out there?
But hey, it does look pretty nice. I bet lots of people buy them.
I bet it could be almost as successful as the Apple Newton. *grin*
