Anybody see the iSheep lining up today??
Why Android is better than iPhone.

That's not too bad actually. I've had a play with one but I'm not totally hooked on the way it's put together, it's like a piece of plastic was folded over to create that wedge shape. Have a look at one in a store and you'll see what I mean. The Galaxy tabs look nice but they don't have the expansion and ports I want. Lenovo has the best specs for a digitiser pen and multitouch screen but it looks a little fugly too. I need to see that in person before I decide though.
Windows 8 will be out in a year and it will cover the spread between tablet/smartphones, and laptop/desktops. For anyone who wants an integrated device that they can use to browse and share content, but that also allows you to work easily with spreadsheets, media editing, real multitasking, then Windows 8 is be the shiznit.

when people use the term iSheep, what do they mean?
It means that sheeple who already own iPhones are willing to wait in line foolishly for a new one when their current phone is just fine.
Few BlackBerry deserters in line at Toronto Apple Store
http://www.thestar.com/business/art...deserters-in-line-at-toronto-apple-store?bn=1
They were all stuck at work trying to recover from all the lost business when their phone's proprietary network puked all over it's shoes this week.
are they the same people that even though their bike works perfectly fine sell theirs (with 2" chicken strips) to buy the latest model that has little to no improvement?
Uhhhh, yeah, sure.
Five reasons you should skip the new iPhone
1. The screen is the same size. With various Android competitors (such as Samsung’s Galaxy S2) boasting large screen sizes of 4 inches and higher, the iPhone 4S still has a 3.5-inch screen that’s virtually unchanged from the iPhone 4.
2. You already have one. Chances are if you’ve already got an iPhone 4, you’re also bound to a three-year contract. Is it worth breaking out of that contract, and paying the termination fee, just to upgrade? Probably not. In fact, you might be better off to wait out your contract term for Apple’s inevitable iPhone 5, which will probably be a true generational upgrade over the iPhone 4S.
3. You can get the features anyway. Apple’s highly touted iCloud and iMessage features are already available with the latest iOS 5 update, which is free for all Apple users. So if you’ve already got an iPhone 4, just get your phone updated and you’ve got two of the iPhone 4S’s big selling features. The only downside? You won’t get Siri, which at this point appears to be exclusive to the new iPhone.
4. Battery life is unchanged. Fans had been hoping for a major upgrade in this department, but it appears battery life is more or less the same on the iPhone 4S. But perhaps this is a bit of a feat on Apple’s part considering the new phone has a faster processor, a more powerful camera, and more features. The new phone provides eight hours of 3G talk time, six hours of juice for 3G web browsing, and nine hours of Wi-Fi browsing. But curiously, the standby battery life has dropped to 200 hours from 300 hours for the iPhone 4.
5. There are other smartphone options. Apple hopes its latest phone offering will fend off the growing challenge from competitors, most notably Samsung. But rival smartphones are making a case that’s becoming harder to ignore. South Korea’s Samsung, which offers devices powered by Google’s Android software, continues to gobble up market share with phones that are more open-ended for developers, and come with larger screens and more powerful processors to boot. If you’re an iPhone user underwhelmed by Apple’s latest offering, there’s probably no better time than now to jump ship.
1. The screen is the same size.
Yes, it is the same. So? I don't see the benefit of a bigger screen. Some could say the same for buying a 36" tv, why not get the 50" or the 60", or screw it, just get a projector.
2. You already have one. [/QUOTE]
Nope, I have a 3G.
3. You can get the features anyway.[/QUOTE]
Nope, my 3G is not compatible.
4. Battery life is unchanged. [/QUOTE]
Nope, I'm sure the 4s is better than my 3G
5. There are other smartphone options. [/QUOTE]
Yes, there are other options. I like the apps I have paid for. I like the design. I like the AWESOME service that comes with Apple products. I like the possibilities I have with the iPhone. I just really like the phone and it does just what I need.
The iPhone works for some, for some it doesn't work. So what.
From all the tests and benchmarks coming out, the iPhone 4S is a huge improvement over the 4 in terms of performance. In fact, its faster than any other phone out there... so yeah, it's still the same design but its a huge gain in performance.
I wouldn't ugprade from a 4, but definitely would from a 3G or 3Gs, no doubt.

^^^iSheeple
I call that iTools not iSheep
1. which means existing software works on it flawlessly. i don't want a bigger screen, if i did i'd look at a tablet.
2. i did just get a iPhone 4 three months ago but that doesn't mean everyone does, if i wasn't stuck 3 months ago i would have waited.
3 already downloaded but i beleive while it's compatible with most of the mobile products it's only free for certain ones, all the features such as dual core cpu, siri and the better camera. not sure what's involved with siri but the other two are not going to be had by doing a software update.
4 battery life isn't a concern right now i've never bought a phone based on that
5 i find the operating systems on those phones clumsy, I've played with them other than winmo7 (and I'll never go winmo again). the reason to buy the iphone is that it just works, my days of fighting with something to make it work the way i want are over. thats why I stopped using windows/linux/freebsd on the desktop. not underwhelmed by the latest offering, being that i just got a phone I won't be buying one in the near future unless something happens to this phone...
I heard that fat guy butt his way in

Strange issues, can only login with 3G.
Been trying to access since Friday, but can't with home wifi(maybe my ip address got blocked, somehow or by mistake).
So I just turned off wifi on my iphone and tried, and I have access, find it weird.
Did anyone experience this before?

You would buy a lump of **** if apple put their name on it, oh wait you already haveYou were the one going on and on about the iphone 5 being released this yr, and how incredible it is, how it's going to change the the industry ect. Well it's still an iphone4 and it's still garbage. Maybe it's time you admitted that Apple isn't the great creator any more. It's amazing how the fanboys can't admit failure when it comes to Apple. The release of the iphone4 S is a complete let down, even I was anticipating something special from Apple this time. This confirms that Apple is on the same road as RIM. The rest of the cell world is running away from Apple, and by time they actually release something good it'll be way too late.
+1.
Apple has plateau'd.
Siri was BOUGHT, not invented by apple. The iMessage is just a rip off of BBM, no innovation here. They fixed their faulty antenna. Granted, the 4S has a faster processor........isn't that the standard protocol with virtually every phone from every maker?

I had some weird WiFi issues last week as well (Wednesday-ish?). I killed WiFi in SBSettings. Didn't work. Rebooted. Seemed to solve the problem. Never had an issue again. Tried later, and all was good. Figured it was Rogers' network.
Looks like their plateau is much higher than everyone elses, considering the 4S outperforms every other phone on the market. :lol: Appleowned
Not to mention their stock keeps going up. Plateau? Um...not by any definition.
Haters be hatin', that's all.
