What? I've got an Inspire too. Android high-five!

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Oh God yes. iTunes just seems like more work than necessary and yes, it always craps out on me for some reason. "What do you mean I have to add all 3,000 of my songs again?!"



Well let me begin by saying I think Apple makes great products. However, I hate the fact that most of their stuff is seemingly overpriced even though they have people somewhere in China throwing themselves off buildings making them dirt cheap (Before anyone says anything I know most companies are involved with Foxxcon and related industries). So you're essentially paying over the moon for a style product and the Apple name. We as consumers are most at fault for buying them in the first place.

They also have this tendency of creating reasons to buy stupid dongles and what not. "USB? Pffft. Yeah right, here's this 30 pin dock connector that only works on our devices."

Also, their iPod headphones are the worst.

Agree. Apple is one of the smartest companies in the world They create overpriced stuff and withhold features that would regularly be in things so they can put it in the next edition, and their dumb, but fascinatingly loyal customers will be their stuff no matter what it is.

Well, they are the best at marketing.

I'm perfectly fine with my 5 year old blackberry.

The Inspire's way better than the iPhone.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It makes me feel sexier.

The mid 2000s called. They want their phone back.

Hold on, I got a beeper call, be right back.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, as irritating as Apple fanboys can be, the iPod really does corner the market on mp3 players for very good reason. Why are you trying to avoid getting one of them?

Are you talking to me? I don't avoid getting one, I'm actually planning on buying a new one soon. But I hate iTunes so much. I still rock my first generation iPod nano.

My iTunes refuses to detect my iPod if it's already plugged in when I start my computer. I have to unplug the USB cord and plug it back in. Meanwhile, Apple's stupid device detection thing is running in the background the whole time. I see you there in my task manager, Apple device detector! Lurking. Not doing your goddamn job. Eating up a tiny, tiny part of my PC's resources.

Bastard.

An error message pops up "If you had a Macbook Air this would never have happened."

And when it comes to phones I love my HTC Inspire over the Iphone. While the iPhone is safe and more reliable, I can do more with the Inspire.

Android is just a better OS than iOS IMO. There's a lot more freedom with Android. And now with Ice Cream Sandwich, it's a lot more reliable and glitch free.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I hope so. do you know when it is supposed to be coming to phones Darth?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Are you talking to me? I don't avoid getting one, I'm actually planning on buying a new one soon. But I hate iTunes so much. I still rock my first generation iPod nano.

No, I was talking to Manic. I just upgraded to a 4th-generation iPod Touch last year, myself. I had a 1st-gen Touch before that. Couldn't play any games or anything on it. Although, in fairness, I haven't really played games on my new iPod much in the past few months either.

An error message pops up "If you had a Macbook Air this would never have happened."

I bet Steve Jobs was working on integrating that into a future version of iTunes.

 

[Darthphere]

I hope so. do you know when it is supposed to be coming to phones Darth?

Next month probably last time I heard.

I'm actually thinking of upgrading my phone and getting an HTC Amaze (I have T-Mobile) as HTC has never done me wrong before. Or getting a Samsung Galaxy S II.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I've been curious about the Samsung phones. I mean, I love Samsung TVs...

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I've been curious about the Samsung phones. I mean, I love Samsung TVs...

Well, I hear that the Samsung Infuse is also an excellent phone. In fact, it was between the Infuse and Inspire for me, but I liked HTC more so I chose the Inspire.

 

[Kane52630]

The mid 2000s called. They want their phone back.

Hold on, I got a beeper call, be right back.

All I need for a phone is to make calls and have a music player. I'll probably get a new phone later on but as of right now I'm okay with my Blackberry.

 

[Darthphere]

I've been curious about the Samsung phones. I mean, I love Samsung TVs...

I rate them pretty highly personally. Of course this is just from my experience fooling around with friends phones or at the store.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, I hear that the Samsung Infuse is also an excellent phone. In fact, it was between the Infuse and Inspire for me, but I liked HTC more so I chose the Inspire.

I went with the Inspire because it was relatively cheap, to be honest. It's my first smartphone (I had a Motorola flip-phone that somehow escaped the late '90s for like five years before that), so I didn't want to break the bank since I wasn't exactly sure what I was really looking for. The Inspire turned out to be a great investment, though. I like it muchly.

I got mine off the Inspire off Amazon, as both were around $30 on Amazon.

Speaking Amazon, I love Amazon prime. I probably saved more than $200 on shipping because of it.

 

[Darthphere]

I want to get my hands on a Windows Phone, specifically the Nokia Lumia 900.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I've been hearing about the windows phones, but haven't heard much about it (I've been too busy drooling over the new Transformer Prime tablet). What's going to make Windows a player in the smartphone game Darth?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I was confronted with the decision of whether to renew my Prime membership (which had been free up to that point) this week. At first I was like, "F*** that, I'll just wait a few more days for my stuff." But then I thought about it and realized $30-something per year really isn't that much to ensure I get pre-orders on their release dates and everything else within 2 days. I mean, I order a lot of stuff off of Amazon.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I do nothing but order stuff off Amazon. There's not a lot of stores around me that I don't have to take the public bus for (and Syracuse's transportation sucks), so I rely on Amazon.

 

[Darthphere]

I've been hearing about the windows phones, but haven't heard much about it (I've been too busy drooling over the new Transformer Prime tablet). What's going to make Windows a player in the smartphone game Darth?

It's just another option really. The Windows Phone OS is aesthetically pleasing. People love tiles and whatnot.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ironically, Android OS looks more like a Windows PC setup than Windows Phone OS does.

 

[Darthphere]

Ironically, Android OS looks more like a Windows PC setup than Windows Phone OS does.

Because the Windows phone OS is the new look of Windows really. Tiles for everyone. Windows 8 looks amazing by the way and that's saying a lot because...well it's Windows.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I've been pretty content with Windows 7, to be honest. I haven't even seen Windows 8. When does that drop?
