Didn't want to start a new thread just for one question, which do you think is the better the ipad or the Galaxy Pad?

Just go have a look and get your hands on both of them. You'll never get this lot to agree which is best out of the 2. Probably shows how equal they are really

Steve-O, How long did the twitter support take to get back to you? messaged them a few times and nothing yet.

The phone is now on e-bay anyway, Just hope I'f i can't get it unlocked before it sells that I atleast get enough for it to just buy an unlocked/o2 iphone 4 on there.

Same day I think it was. I just 'mentioned' them in a tweet about how rubbish their customer service was, and they sent a tweet back then asked for my email address and phone number on a private message, then we started emailing and talking on the phone..

Just looked through my emails and I spoke to Nicki in social media care socialmediacare@three.co.uk is the address they were emailing from. Hope this helps!

I'll drop them an email. I've ended up just getting my own phone back as the sale hadn't been finalised at c.e.x and im giving this back to my sisters brother in law but I'f I can get them to sort something it would be good.

Anyone having problems with O2 signal again today? Looks to be another version of the June/July problems - lost signal here about 3 hours ago and it doesn't appear to be geographically isolated according to the O2 website.

There was a major network failure on Friday again and it is still ongoing all over the country.

It's the worst network in the country by a massive distance with the worst coverage and the worst downtime record. Why anyone would sign a contract to be with O2 is beyond me, and I'm working (Kind of) for them at the moment.

It's a surprise that the media isn't picking up on this issue like they do when other companies have problems.

It ended up being down for me for twelve hours. Fortunately I didn't really need the phone much that day but it would have been a nightmare if I had.

Add in the fact that they still keep spamming me with Rugby Union she1te and, even though I have been with them 15 years since I worked for them in the Cellnet era, they are going in the bin when I get around to the next contract.

Galaxy Note 2 arrives tomorrow...

New IPAD smaller, 1 more MP in camera and A6X CPU... still £300+ very expensive compared with alternative options.

As ever with Apple products there is absolutely nothing to justify the extra cost. Apple fans will quote features other tablets also have and use the phrases 'it's just better' and 'the best' a lot.

I watched the stream of the announcement and a couple of things made me laugh:



WTF? That is one of the most idiotic things I've heard in a long time. Have a go of the Nexus 7 or Samsung's tablets and justify that statement please. I'll bet there were an army of Samsung lawyers licking their lips when he rolled that classic out.

Another was the terminology they use to bamboozle and impress Apple fans. "A Facetime HD camera, no other tablet has that".

The most shocking comment was made by the commentator on the web stream I watched, quoting some other Apple employee with a wonderful job title and saying that Apple have sold more ipads in the last quarter of 2012 than any one PC manufacturer has sold PCs in their history. OMG, so they've sold more ipads in three months than HP have sold PCs. Staggering if true.

Apple is an astonishing company, a shining example not in technology, creativity or innovation, but in marketing. Genius of the highest order. Truth is the mini is not better in any significant area than other small tablets, is a year late and costs 40% more, but it'll still outsell them all.

Where is the £300+ figure from? $329+VAT works out at £250ish

Very rarely happens like that in the UK though doesn't it. Most retailers just change the dollar sign for a pound sign.

Apple have it at £269 on their site, £70 more than the Nexus...

Saddened you really need to try and calm down. You clearly don't like apple products, which of course is fine, just don't buy them.

They make premium products that are designed and built extremely well, they charge a premium for that (I agree the products are expensive) but some people are prepared to pay for that, I can't understand why you get so worked up over it.

As an aside the new iMac looks stunning.

I don't know where you get the idea from that I'm worked up about it. I work in a similar industry now so take an interest in these things. Apple's commercial performance always impresses me and good for them that they continue to pull the wool over people's eyes. As you say though I'm not forced to buy their products so I'm not worked up about it.

After a few days with the Note 2, i'm very very happy with it, great piece of kit. The size really isn't a problem for me. When i went from the n97 to the HTC desire HD that seemed to make the HD seem massive, but going from the HD to the Note 2 wasn't such a jump in size. The case the HTC was in made the HTC bulky but the genuine note 2 case adds little to the thickness so the note feels a lot better in hand. After only 3 days the HTC is looking a bit on the small side.


All in all i'm loving the Note 2.
PS, couldn't prize mrs G away from i-phone so she is now the [delproud[/del owner of i-phone 5.... it's minute...

I decided to reset my phone in the end anyway. Low and behold, problem sorted. The EE text came through a few days after.

Hardly, most of the stuff they use is mid range PC gear wrapped up in a nice design.



About the only thing they do worth shouting about, a lot of companies need to take lead from them and design products better (a lot of the Ultrabooks are starting to do this now)



Apple tax!

You could build your own version of a Mac Pro for under a third of the price, the only difference is you don't get that Apple logo stuck on the side which adds to the cost.

The biggest problems with Apple:
- Products aren't anywhere near as good as they make out, especially at the prices they sell them for (Samsung make better products, for example).

- Inane patents - this week they were granted a patent for using maps on a touchscreen device!

They're a great bunch of marketing people who have drawn millions of people in hook, line & sinker with the OOOH LOOK AT OUR SHINY NEW THING whilst adding very little, or in the case of the Macbook Pro...taking a lot out (ethernet, DVD drive, dedicated graphics chip) and increasing the price.

OSX is a good OS and the iPod is great but everything else they do is over priced and average from a tech standpoint.

I have done and it cost way under £500 for a quad core machine.

Can anyone help i have download a zip link to my computer,and want to copy and paste it to my Samsung Galaxy Ace SD Card. Do i after open the zip first on my pc or will my mobile phone do this for me?
The files on my pc are called META-INF and System ?

Ok, so tomorrow I get my first ever iPhone, work are swapping our Blackberries for the iPhone 5.

They've asked us to set up an Apple ID/iTune account - I already have one but a little research is telling me once I set up my Mail profile with our Microsoft Exchange, IT can then access my phone and view my Apple account remotely, and get up to various tricks if they so desire.

Is this true? If so I'll set up another separate Apple ID for my work phone.

Thanks...

I'm enjoying the Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini.
Still getting to know it, but for a complete technophobe I'm getting there.

WTF?
