I haven't read through the entire thing
my my that's a problem isn't it? I mean you haven't even read through
a thread and making a comment on a post? I know by the time you read
my response that you will probably have read the initial post, but if
you have a discussion with someone, ideally you want to read the
response in full for a variety of reasons
As you may or may not be aware, performing that action leads to a
cognitive break in text and analysis and therefore one tends to create
an incorrect inferrence based on the aspect of cognitive syntax from
not reading words or sentences (two primary important aspects of
reading from a cognitive point of view) in its full makeup. From a
cognitive standpoint, you just did the one thing that makes people
fail in school. Or to put it simply, what you did is just as bad as
someone that goes to a star wars convention, sees the word stars and
says where's leonard nimoy? But I digress on this point
Super monkey ball is actually a very good game. One of my favorites on
playstation or sega dreamcast. However, even though you mention a
great video of super monkey ball on the iphone, there's one large
problem with this as a means of "proof" regarding speed of the
accelerometer
The accelerometer is rather slow; the orientation to
portrait to landscape mode takes too long
Never once did that occur in the video. It was responsive to movements
granted in a programming atmosphere, which I've seen before. A lot of
times. But there was no change in screen orientation from portrait to
landscape. So then I have to wonder, why in the world did you post the
video? Ah I see it was because you assumed I meant the responsiveness
of the accelerometer. Problem is, that was not the point of my
statement. We are referring to speed of orientation from two complete
modes; from portrait to landscape (or vice versa). Mine's can go from
either mode in less than a quarter second in just about ALL of my
applications. From texting to internet browser (either native PIE or
Opera 9 or skyfire or ibis or well you get my point). Can the same be
said about the iphone? In fact no.
From the same anecdote you didn't read, I did in fact change screen
orientation from portrait to landscape. It took 3.25 seconds, in
comparison to .25. That is a drastic difference. But of course, you
never read even my post to form an even good retort. Let me continue.
I won't even go into where you said the iPhone would be
fantastic if it ran windows because thats just a joke and a insult to
all mobile phones
Well based on my experience, I regretfully have to disagree.
Windows mobile is such crap, everyone at my office has dropped
windows mobile and switched to either a BB or iPhone because it has
too many problems, and is a pain in the ass to do anything on
it.
But if that was the case for ALL clients, then the pocket pc market
still wouldn't be thriving as well as it is. Further, developers
wouldn't continue to create titles for WM devices. It is a multi
million dollar industry for a wide variety of reasons. Secondly,
that's fine. People leave windows mobile. Windows mobile takes a
learning curve to get into (of say about less than 5 minutes) -
actually every phone does. However, to switch to a blackberry, I
wouldn't just because blackberry doesn't suit my interests nor does
iphone. The iphone is not a business phone; despite apple taking one
full year to get push to email right and getting a comparable
equivalent to over the air synching. The main issue I have between the
two devices is this
I am stuck with what a company wants me to do when I buy an iphone, or
when I use an iphone. When I have a windows mobile I am stuck with
what I want to do. That's the primary difference above all other
differences.
And safari is fast when you are not on edge, when on wifi or 3G
pages load really fast.
3g? Wow I remember 3g. It is a wonderful blip of speed isn't it? One
problem with 3g though. EVDO Rev A has almost 3x the download and
upload speeds as 3g. But its fast you say? But it is also in the past.
As for finally safari speed, again if I were a browser where my
information is filtered through a 3rd party webserver before entering
my device, my internet page loading would be fast. In fact it is
because skyfire browser and ibsis browser for Windows Mobile devices
does exactly what the iphone safari does and pages load much faster.
But then I wonder would the speeds be exactly the same if one were
using a browser like opera? Point is, in any browser, my Rev A is by
in large much faster (and page rendering is faster). It also gives me
unbelievable options like texting others images from my internet,
COPYING and PASTING from browser to notepad and word. Simple things
that make me go wow, the WM is still in it.
Finally for adding applications not from a jailbreak environment, one
rules risk of bricking your iphone. Never ever have that problem with
a phone. It is download cab and install. Iphone...well connect to ftp
-> ssh -> download -> wait and finally install. Speed my dear, speed.
Also I bet you love not having flv supported websites or
avi/divx/mkv/ogm/wmv support. I have that; what about you? Want to
connect to anything else besides youtube, can you? not likely. But
again its all relative and subjective.
