Re: So Many Apps!
Well Scot, when I said aps were small in scale I didnt mean necessarily all aps, though I have seen lots of shorter arcade style games, or quick single action grinder rpggs, or aps intended to do one fairly simple if useful task such as act as an efficient cumpus or play radio
Re: So Many Apps!
Well this is all very interesting. Im off to learn about a few more apps. Are you quite sure you wouldnt like to join me in the Post-PC revolution? @Dark: watch out for a much-rumoured Maxipad. Of course speakers will always be preferable, but having one on the device along
Re: So Many Apps!
Hi.Well, first off Ill say I really, really dont want Apple to turn the macintosh into iOS.The macintosh is an awesome computer and it is not full of the silly restrictions that Apple puts on iOS.Sure, you have the stupid Mac App Store which is like the iOS one, but you dont
Re: So Many Apps!
@Chris: I guess the question you want to ask yourself is: do I have to be afraid of containment?In theory, with sufficient granularity, you can get a lot of the benefits of iOS, and still have the flexibility. Sandboxing stuff, in and of itself, is not a bad thing and really
Re: So Many Apps!
Post xp revolution? in terms of handheld devices and tablets I agree totally. That is actually one interesting fact about Ios, that though there are things I dont like there are some very unique uses wich the hardware such as the touch screen and small size, and the software

Re: So Many Apps!
Well, Im convinced that the overall effectiveness of smartphone apps is less than that of desktops, for sure, as evidenced by the amount of stuff I do on them (like writing this comment, for example). But perhaps enjoying apps is just as important as using them to do stuff? It
Re: So Many Apps!
I do a lot of things on the web when Im on a desktop, that I have an app for on IOS. For example, on IOS: rdio, tunein, mail, my bank, facebook, twitter, songza, audioboo, soundcloud, CBC, youtube, and more. So I think its that apps on the IPhone are more effective than
Re: So Many Apps!
Interesting thoughts. One thing I have noticed is that Ios has a lot of smaller applictions with less functionality. Many games are of the arcade type, and many aps are just intended to perform one single function. That doesnt mean this is all an Ios platform can do, witness
Re: So Many Apps!
Ive yet to see an Ipad with a large enough display for my personal visual needs sebi, nor have I seen smaller speakers that can have similar affects to a full 5.1 surround, although you can do as well with the right audio and a decent set of headphones). though I know the same
Re: So Many Apps!
@Fastfinge: yeah, I think you must be right; many apps are essentially Consumerised versions of websites. But doesnt this just support the notion that iOS is all about friction freedom, rather than productivity? Hmm …The other thing is the updates. Apple practically begs
Re: So Many Apps!
Hi.I agree with the second poster.I hope way more applications on my computer than I do on my mobile devices.I also find the mac and Windows to be far more powerful than something like the iPhone or android.However, I have access to both platforms now and its kind of cool

Re: So Many Apps!
Funny Chris, games and handy aplictions was exactly what I got an Iphone for. I cant talk about android, but Im certainly not dissatisfied about the amount say available games for the platform, its just that there are some tasks which either the os or hardware make preferable
Re: So Many Apps!
It seems to me that a lot of people use smartphones and tablets as content consumption devices. Indeed it is possible (Ive done it) to write documents on iOS, it can be really tedious if you dont have appropriate hardware.Some of the things I use my iPhone for: games (Papa
So Many Apps!
This was going to go in the Games room but I fear the numbers arent there yet, so itll be here for now.I look at the Updates tab in the iOS App Store and am amazed by the nature and number of updates. Yes, I manage 178 apps, but even so, how can there be so many apps? Who runs
Re: So Many Apps!
I think the the process of app creation/consumption isnt any more or less enjoyable, its just the desktop of this century. Myself, Im the complete opposite. I have barely anything on my iPhone, but everything in the world on my Mac/Windows-based boxes.URL:
