btw for the person talking about the adapter for the 30 pin:
Quote :
Apple's $29 Lightning adapter isn't compatible with old speakers

The Cupertino-based company did not mention that the adapter does not support "video and iPod Out" functionality, however, meaning old speakers such as the iHome will not work with the iPhone 5. While some speakers will still be able to play music with an auxiliary jack, most high-end speaker docks will be rendered useless.

Remember when we were looking for good advice and deals? Apple vs android talk is pointless. People like who they like. It's almost like 2 similar religions. They both think god is swell and want to communicate. I've always used both and like them both. Can't we all just get along?
Seriously though, where are the hot tips?

You normally know this type of stuff...how many pins are in micro USB? Couldn't find it easily, looks like just 5?

Seriously Apple...get off your high horse and start working with the standards set forth by organizations trying to make things cheaper for consumers.

Their proprietary connector is just better Nono2

Same thing with Nintendo though, really annoying how they keep changing the shape of their portable's charging ports.

um, that's pretty much what happened; one of the major complaints about this launch was that everybody knew everything beforehand due to the huge number of leaks. there is a pattern of strategic leaks to a few specific media outlets (most prominently the WSJ) at opportune times, and based on all the tech sites i read, it's pretty much assumed that Apple does them purposefully.

Ehh, not overly impressed withthe iPhone 5. Does have the two big features I was hoping it would, 4g and a bigger screen. Since I've been out of contract with my 3gs since January, I'll get the 5. Seems much better than any of the android shit that I have played with.

So I'm stil on Sero 500. Last time I didn't wait and preordered 4S, it came with +10 +10, but I've returned it to sprint (still waiting on their activation fee refund), since it was charging 4g fee for 3G phone.
is it fair now? Is it going to be +10 +10 =50 w unlimited 4G for SERO?
Thanks

Agreed with this. They are like Nintendo, figuring out a way to release year + old hardware at full price.

The new nokia lumia phone, now that looks like innovation.

I work in the tech industry and the general consensus on the iPhone 5 is that its upgrades are long overdue. Apple has shifted from being groundbreaking and innovative to merely attempting to keep up with competition. Will people still buy their products? Absolutely. They've gained enough market share to command respect. But their reputation as an innovator is starting to fade somewhat.
