Why do you have to install the ABBBY business card reader on the N97, why were people having issues (as per the Nokia link I posted) with installing the application?

You are so full of it with your "No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand will get you banned".

meh continue with the bashing n-sheep anyone with half a brain can see how useless you posts are.

I think that list is more about built in functions than available OCR apps and that PC ocr is given as an example for the low DPI the 3MP 3GS provides.

I make a point, all of you argue over something you yourselves don't know what it is about.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970On that list it says the iPhone doesn't support OCR, I post a link proving it does.

Someone else says that on an iPhone it doesn't count because they scan A4 pages using ABBBY on a PC using photo's taken with an N97.

So you post a link from November 2008 (NOT 2006) showing part of an A4 page, not a full page or two full A4 pages as the earlier poster claimed.

So you n-sheep try to hide your fear of all these people leaving the Nokia flock for something better by twisting the facts and wasting your time on pointless lists which no-one cares about.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Would you mind pointing out the part where the OCR on the N97 does anything more than very basic OCR for simple business cards?

That example I posted was a lot more complex and was done on the handset without importing a photo into software on a PC.

Anonymous, 15 Nov 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocpN4Q3B844 Hey N-sheep, ... moreHey sheep, this is me scared:

The truth about the so much denied and contradictory financial results of apple:

"Apple dubbed the laid off salespeople "full-time equivalents," reporting a headcount of 14,000 Apple store employees. That's slashed from the 15,600 number listed in its 10-K filing just last January."

The ever increasing profits of apple are nothing but advertisements, since no correlation can be made between the sum reported by Apple to the givernment and the one reported to the press.
Just google "statistics/world/manufacturer/apple" with quotes and see what a small drop iPhone is in the ocean.
Apple, as well as they might try to hide it, has very small anual profit rates forcing them to fire more than 10.000 employees every year!
This is also the reason why iPhone isn't actually made by apple but by FOXCONN: http://www.betanews.com/article/Dying-for-an-iPhone-Questions-raised-by-the-Foxconn-suicide/1248371905 this explains the reason why the iphone that costs ~150$ to manufacture costs as much as 1200$ if you're to "get it free" on contract and also why apple is the only company that allows paid thethering from AT&T on their device!

"Skating on stellar increases in iPhone sales, Apple turned in its "best non-holiday quarter" in history from January through March. Now, an examination of Apple's 10-Q filing by Betanews reveals that overall sales for Apple stores shot up, too -- albeit only to the tune of 2 percent, or $58 million -- between the first six months in Apple's respective 2008 and 2009 fiscal years."

"Apple would "incur substantial costs if it were to close multiple retail stores and such costs could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and operating results," company officials conjectured."

So how come the sales of 3GS suddenly rocketed, while most users don't find the differences between 3G and 3GS as justifying the price? EASY! apple advertises fake income numbers so that naive users that buy fancy for popularity actually believe apple is a success... whereas the truth is the company barely keeps afloat firing tens of thousands of people every year!

Source: http://www.betanews.com/article/Apple-lays-off-1600-workers-but-keeps-stores-afloat/1240607497

Things are only getting worse for apple in Q3 2009, as Apple has it's device replacement program, it seems the only users interested in the 3GS were the ones already owning a 3G. Although many sites report the replaced devices as new sales, Gartner has placed Apple in the "OTHERS" category, since it was not able to keep up with top companies like Nokia, Samsung, Motorola or Sony Ericsson. Unfortunately compared to the boom registered by the iPhone back in 2007, it's market share has only been able to rise by 5% compared to Q3 2008. We would have expected a little more since 3GS is clearly superior to it's predecessors but the truth is the competition has been it this game for a while longer and Apple still has a little catching up to do, to create a full featured smartphone.
This is also in concordance with the low interest on GSMArena, where iPhone does not manage to score in the top 15 models or Apple in the top 7 brands; as interest, the iPhone bareley reaches above Sony W960 gaining a modest 11th position.

To stay in business Apple simply wiped out the Research&Development department back in the 90's (wich partly explains why it's devices are built by Chinese contractors) and gave out to Microsoft about 150 millions worth of stock, for helping them not to go broke back in '96-'97 - the actual value of Apple's stock was 20 to 25 US dollars.
Knowing how low the stock value of a barely floating company, probably those 150 million have now turned to billions as the stock value in 2009 was 230 to 250 US dollars.
Main thing why Microsoft doesn't pull the plug (because let's be honest when a company fires thousands they're far from doing as well as apple claims) is because Microsoft has their own software selling on Apple/MAC and a fair share of it. So the better apple is doing, the better Microsoft is doing.

Because of the bleak financial situation, Apple can't afford to depent on neither Intel nor AMD anymore and decided to invest the profit made with iPhone into chip manufacturing once again, a mistake that has cost them dearly before.

This is the information Apple desperately tries to hide from us all and it's a thing quite hard to find on the internet these days, as is real feedback over their products.

Steve Jobs, the CEO and main animator of apple has been operated on a few months ago for alcoholic cyrosis! I am glad he is better and he has to be since he's the only thing that stands between apple and doom.
But really, is that the attitude of the CEO of a winning company? Alcoholism? Firing almost 30.000 employees in less than a year?
Quo vadis Apple? Will Microsoft save you again this time?

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970What's the matter N-sheep, Nokia is going down i.e. from 60% before the iPhone to 35% smartphone market share leading to their first Quarterly loss in 10 years, so you desperately cling to a useless list of half truths, lies and features that no-one cares about.

What's the matter, are you n-sheep scared that too many are leaving the flock?

Nokia bringing time wasting n-sheep together.

Maybe you need an iPhone as it doesn't need a PC to do OCR.

The N97 just failed on your list of bulls$&t "No OCR".

So how does the push email work on it?

Seeing as Nokia's use EXACTLY the same system as iPhone's, WinMo phone's and Android phone's?

I thought you'd have a Blackberry with BIS for push email?

One thing on that list.

Apple iPhones are all manufactured from other innovative companies such as 45% for Nokia(GSM, UMTS, WLAN), 35% for Samsung (CPU and Memory storage), 5% for Tawain company(multitouch input and zooming), 5% for Google(map) and 10% for Apple(OS and brand name). Apple should sell their iphones unlocked without using service providers and see the outcome.
