26 December, 2010
“A series of video-related announcements” already gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect from Skype at CES, but things just got way more specific. A leaked tutorial page from the company’s official...

They drink petrol like a camel drinks wather after 2 weeks of walking in the dessert. So now Americans get that if they buy a car that uses less petroll they save money. How ever it is quite different in the phoneindustry. I mean think about this. A sallad has been brough to your local shop. Now are you going to buy a sallad brough from Spain or a sallad from America? Same thing with the tecnologyindustry.

        KSR, 29 Dec 2010Wow.. If ur words are coming 4m ur mouth; you are surely... moreWhat you're not understanding is. Apple does not integrate features just because it's out there, or just because they can. They want to make sure that it is actually usable and is implemented efficiently and effectively. Hence, some features take longer for Apple to include on the iphone, like copy and paste for instance. When they implemented it, it's the sleekest implementation of it. Also its facetime. It's the smoothest and clearest implementation of videocalling.

          deep space bar, 29 Dec 2010iphone not having bugs........lol you already forgot about... moreBugs will always be present on any phones. That's why updates are released. It's whether those bugs actually affect the overall performance of a device that matters. And the iphone's bugs does not cripple or drastically affect the iphone's overall performance. The proximity sensor issue have been resolved with the 4.2 update. There was never a battery life issue with the iphone4. Matter of fact, comparisons have shown that the iphone4 outlives its rivals on battery life. There's no transition bugs with the iphone4, so I do not know what you are talking about. There is nothing wrong with the iphone's file storage. 32gb internal memory is more than enough for most users. If you need more than that, I suggest you use your laptop, because any smartphone phone would suffer battery drain if you make use of more than 32gb of files. It's just not practical. Nokia devices have been known to become sluggish and laggy when memory is halfway full.

            If ur words are coming 4m ur mouth; you are surely coming from Steve's Mouth!!

            What ?? Video calling via 3G drains battery !! So video recording doesn't do it? Wifi usage doesn't do it? what about HD gaming ??

            Every heavy duty application does that..but if Steve says "Video calling via 3G drains battery" u ifans accept it as the 9th Commandment!!

            Smartphone users will/should know what drains battery more.. Steve Jobs need not to tell that

            Oh..afetr 2 years Steve realises that Video calling via 3G is an amazing feature and announces that Apple is introducing that EXCLUSIVELY to IPHONE USERS and the FIRST of its kind!!! Go buy Iphone 6 and enjoy the NEW (??) COOL FEATURE ;P

              manfree, 29 Dec 2010Video calls drain the battery and thats why iphone 4 doesn'... moreI really don't understand why some people make a big deal of videocalling. It's not a commonly used feature, and that is the truth. Even with my iphone4's wonderful facetime, I seldom use it. I think video callng is just better using a desktop computer or a laptop, just like movies would always be better on a bigger screen.

                you already forgot about the super fsil prox sensor bug or the lagging trasitions effects
                what about the massive battery drain.....was that a bug too lol
                32gb is enough
                pics,movies,applications,updates,music,emails,contacts are all on on storage drive which completely sucks
                as for everyone else we have selectable and expanadble drives
                my n900 had 48gb and i was always 90% full cause of all the movies,video,pics and applications i've installed
                and with my n8 i have 32gb and it's still not enough i'm just waiting for the 32gb microSD to come out so i can get my 48gb back

                  10 minutes of a video call is like 1.5 hour of voice call and I feel the 3g sar heat in my hand...

Features are refined and are no longer frustrating and disappointing to use. Features actually works the way they should be. A lot of features in the past were unusable because they were either buggy, laggy, and just plain frustrating in performance.

Whay happens when your hooking up your n8 to a big screen tv and someone calls you or sends you a text message? Or someone sends you an mms? Or an email notification and other notifications? Geez, louise. Use your dvd or bluray player will ya. Cell phones are not made for the purpose of using it as a movie player.

                            You people don't get, 28 Dec 2010You always say that Apple makes the biggest profit. Well no... moreYes, samsung and lg makes tv's and other devices as well. But building those tv's and other devices also cost money. Which means additional expense. Apple makes so much money just by their few devices. That's all they have to build. Plus, the Apple Store makes money as well, and Apple don't even have to buy raw materials for that :)

                              We don't need a card slot when we already have 32gb internal memory
                              The iphone's 5mp is more than enough for its purpose. Do we really need 8 or 12mp on a phone? Nope.
                              Facetime is the best video calling implementation. Jealous? :)

                              And yes, we are enjoying our iphones. And more and more people are buying the iphone, and that's why you are so upset :)

Yeah and how many people live in the United States Of America? tens of millions in one city and a lot of cities in there. So why does Apple get thoses sales done again? It's an American brand and everybody likes to buy a product that has been made in their home country.
