Oh my, the iPhone 4 hasn't been out for a day and first reports of troubles are showing up already. Biggest complaint is loss of signal when holding it the "wrong way".
okay, I'm not saying this is not an issue, but it seems to be a trend that whenever there is a new iPhone or Apple device, immediately reports of problems show up:
- 2008 - launch of iPhone 3G - problems with reception and white iPhone case
- 2009 - launch of iPhone 3Gs - problems with overheating
- 2010 - launch of iPhone 4 - problems with antenna (especially for lefties) and discoloration of screen
These may or may not be real issues, what strikes me is that these occur in the first weeks after a launch and then quickly fade away.
In my opinion this is mostly due to the fact that really everyone is looking at these devices with a magnifying glass. Any small issue will be blown up to gigantic proportions. And the Apple attitude of not really being open to communicate with doesn't help with that.
To put things in proportion: millions of iPhones have been sold, and usually a very small, but very vocal group will get all the attention, while most people are perfectly happy with theirs.
Or maybe Apple is using this as a very weird but clever marketing ploy, just hype it up even more and say "we told you there's nothing wrong" in the end....
Ik denk dat veel mensen het geschaak bij de formatie ondertussen wel beu zijn. VVD-CDA-PVV niet, Paars Plus (Paars groen ook wel genoemd) ook niet, CDA-VVD-PVDA niks. En nu weer een 5 partijen midden kabinet van VVD-PVDA-CDA-D66-GL? Het moet niet gekker worden.
Hoe meer partijen, hoe meer compromis, hoe minder hervorming. En met name de links-liberale partijen hameren zo op hervormingen. En ik persoonlijk vind ook dat er nodig wat moet gebeuren.
"Ze" zijn gewoon aan het schaken, stukken aan het schuiven en diegene die het spel het best speelt gaat er met de partij vandoor. Maar dit is niet in het belang van het volk.
Ongeacht waar je op gestemd hebt, je wilt wel dat er in ieder geval een deel van de partijpunten waargemaakt wordt, niet? Dit heeft niks meer met de democratie van doen.
We zijn nu (m.i.) op een punt beland waar er 3 echte opties liggen:
- rechtsom met PVV-CDA-VVD
- middendoor met CDA-PVDA-VVD
- linksaf met VVD-PVDA-Groen Links-D66
Zorg nu dat er binnen 3 weken een bindend referendum komt over bovenstaande keuzes en als de uitslag dan bekend is: regel het gewoon en hou op met dat reuzenkleuter gedoe "hij wil niet dan ik ook niet ik wil een lollie!"
Everyone jumped for joy iOS4 is released! But why didn’t Apple add support for multiple MobileMe accounts, next to the new update to allow multiple Exchange accounts? Now the iPhone is still incompatible for Family pack usage, and Apple forces me to keep using Google Calendar for a shared calendar in our family.
My wife and I both have our own MobileMe account. The kids each have one as well. And I created one general account which is for all of us (mostly my wife and I).
The current situation is that for our shared calendar I setup a CalDAV Google Calendar account. Since MobileMe does not allow shared calendars which can be both read and written to. This has not changed in the new MobileMe update. I already sent a new request to Apple support for this, again, I’d recommend everyone who want this to do the same!
But even if this could be done, the iOS does not support adding multiple MobileMe accounts, so I would never be able to use our shared account on the iPhone.
To make MobileMe really work, Apple should really work on this. I love the service, and I am generally very pleased with the support, but this lack of flexibility is a major issue, especially if free services are providing this a long time already. It’s way overdue.
