Ah, but the iPhone can do things that the Pac Mate cannot, it is more portable, it costs less, it more often and more easily upgraded, and it works. I also have a Pac Mate, unfortunately a BX rather than a QX. I also have an iPhone 5.

Let me take it to the personal level. I have a PACMate BX440 which I purchased in 2005. I stopped using my PACMate in 2010 when I purchased my iPhone. It still works, so would you like to buy it? If you want to be competitive in today's sighted world, you need to play the games. Otherwise, you become irrelevent.

How many apps are dead because the ethos of the App Store is cheap, cheap, cheap? To suppose that apps die because the developer loses interest is a huge leap of faith. How many apps get "upgraded "because somebody decides we need to have a new look, because everybody else is doing it, and never mind how much of a pain in the butt it is to the end-user?it seems to me that the vast number of people still using windows XP is testimony to the fact that an off a lot of people do not like change for change sake, do not see the value in learning something new if they don't get anything out of it, and it's all just for the sake of the pay as you upgrade machine, or for the twentysomethings who think we have to see something new and different because it's cool.

On the other hand, even when the product meets other people's needs, but it doesn't meet your needs, you want the product to be changed. The fact is, other people have different needs, and to remain competitiv:, companies need to change to remain viable, competitiv:, and alive. Think about it, how many apps on the app store have not been upgraded and are now effectively dead? How many apps are no longer available because the creator has gone on to other things?

If it ain't broke, quit fixing it!! Adding new features is OK, but don't remove what works well, and don't change the layout so drastically that it doesn't even resemble what really works well. In my opinion, changing something just because you feel that it is time to do so, whether it be to antiquity or to appear to stay current, makes no sense to me at all. --- Be positive!

I try to transfer apps to my iPhone with iTunes 12 but there is no "sync" button and I can't check and uncheck the apps in the list. ITunes 11 worked so well, so I am always wondering why change something that works? Regards Fanus -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
