Exactly. Right now they're saying there's no point to it, but when they introduce it (sorry, invent it!), then it'll be the must have and everybody will be rushing to upgrade their kit.

He even spoke my "not innovative" mantra on Apple patents. I see from that article that even "The Woz" uses a Samsung S3 now and then, although he also mentioned using an i4, just to be fair. "just to be fair" are my words, not his. It's nice to see Apple's original creative genius in the news again. Thank you. |

What's all the fuss is about? There's nothing new in i5, yes, faster processor, yes bigger screen (finally!), perhaps better (but still 8MP) camera... but any of it really new? Looks just as an upgrade to the 4s, should have called it 4ss.

With all fight, perhaps Nokia and Microsoft will win in the end.

A story worthy of a long discussion on MR you mean?
In Apples defense, while the technology is there in quite a few phones, the technology is nearly non existent everywhere else. I've yet to see a place where one could actually use NFC for anything. |

European chip cards are not RFID.

Leave home: a tap disables WiFi, changes volume settings and a few more tweaks. Get in the car: a tap enables GPS and launches the Nav app. When I leave the car, a 2nd tap disables GPS. Leave the office: one tap disables WiFi, changes a few other settings and sends an SMS to say "I'm on my way". The possibilities are endless. |
