LOL, it gives you the option of viewing or ignoring and then it goes right back to what you were doing and if you are doing something where you don't want to be interrupted just turn it off.

Seems simple to me.

Yes but presenting me with those two options happens to stop me from doing whatever it is I am doing which is the issue. I want to be notified in a way that isn't obtrusive just like every other Mobile OS on the market today does. Why not have a notification system that I can pull down similar to Android or have my new IMs/Text Messages show up on a ticker like they do in WebOS? Having a blue box dim everything in the background and present you with two options is not a smart notification system...which is why no one likes Windows UAC. Nobody wants to be annoyed by those blue boxes especially when they pop up every time someone sends you an IM or text message. I don't even like leaving IM+ when I'm using it because I know everytime I leave the program I'm going to get a blue box popping up.

You know how big of an Apple fan I am and my hype for the iPhone 4 went away the second I held it. Just like dude in the video said "It's the same fucking phone!" If you have a 3GS with iOS 4 you've pretty much seen all there is to see on the iPhone 4.

Yeah man. That shit hit me like WTF? It's a damn 3GS.

They showed the 7 tent poles and then said with 100 other features. On top of that it didn't even launch with Game Center which was one of the tent poles.

Hey man think about how Apple's marketing has been just for a new design, folders, video chat, and multi-tasking.

"This changes everything. Again."

If this incremental change was that big to Apple just imagine how they must feel about real changes i.e. Widgets and a new Notification System. The marketing is going to be through the rough for that.
 
Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

What are some of the big changes from one Android phone (or any other phone) to the next? Say, from Nexus One to EVO?

:lol: they said it could do game center and other shit. But don't worry about why I bought it. Worry about why you got it. I'm glad I did in a way because I show no bias. I like what works for me. I'm one of the few on here like that. Otherwise it would be a bunch of iPhone fanboys on here talking about how nothing compares to it when they have not even used the competition. I like having both now because people can't spit that you never used it shit. I like when people see me on my EGO and be on the iPhone 4 is better shit and they don't even own a iPhone 4. Then I say why I like it better and they be like no the I4 is better at that. Then I pull my i4 out and all of a sudden they willing to listen to what ii have to say. It's strange because those Apple cats feel you have to own it to speak on it.

Re: Divine Thread Security Risk: 90% of Divine Posts Infected With Fanboy Virus

SMobile Systems: 90% of Divine Threads Are Infected With Fanboy Virus
from IntoMobile - Mobile Phone News, Information, and Analysis by Dusan Belic
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/25...8IntoMobile)


Message board security company SMobile Systems has been inspecting the Divine posts on BGOL and has found that most of the posts are infected with rampant fanboy faggotry brought on by a Fanboy viral infection. As a matter of fact, they say that reading some posts puts anal cavity integrity at risk. Here’s the recap of SMobile’s findings:

90% of posts on BGOL by Divine are infected with a new hybrid of the Ultrafaggotry Fanboy Virus first discovered by the CDC on March 6, 2005, the virus can turn any reader into a rabid vicious idiotic faggot who only wants to argue and suck Steve Jobs' cock;
5% of posts on BGOL by Divine are infected with an even more sinister Bitchass Nigga Simplex5 retrovirus that causes readers to become totally catatonic and non-responsive to any forms of logic or non-fallacious reasoning while remaining totally responsive to pictures of Steve Jobs and gay pornography;
Dozens of posts have appeared with the identical type of infections;
2% of Divine posts do not seem to be infected at all but authorities are still testing.


SMobile’s press release ends with promotion of their Security Shield Against Ultrafaggotry Fanboy and Bitchass Nigga Simplex5 Viruses solution, which analyzes an entire thread in seconds, and identifies and mitigates known and unknown viral faggotry threats; while at the same time not interfering with the user experience or board performance. In addition to Firefox, Security Shield is also available for Chrome, Mozilla and IE. It is not compatible with Safari.

I think you are victim of your own misinformation. Game Center is a set of API's and part of aSDK used by developers. That SDK was released to Developers as promised.

Here is Apple's website info about Game Center

Game Center

The iOS 4 GM seed software and SDK includes a developer preview of the GameKit APIs that allows you to create apps that will work with Game Center, Apple's new social gaming network. Your users can invite friends to play a game, start a multiplayer game through matchmaking, track their achievements, and compare their high scores on a leader board. The APIs are available to you now and Game Center will be available to iPhone and iPod touch users later this year.

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

Oh shit :smh:. I kinda lost track on this thread and I have to read and catch up but to hear this come from you shocked me. From the debates we have had about phones and tech I took you to be die-hard Apple. Why do you consider it to be the same? They added alot hardware wise (better cam, front cam, better antenna :rolleyes:, no one can deny that screen is the shit, slimmer) and the new OS. Im not arguing with your statement Im just asking. Im in the limbo right now as far as phones so I try to soak in as much as owners can tell me. Fuck all that getting my money and time tied up with contracts.

The more i hear about the Evo and the iphone4, the Evo sounds beast. Sprint is fucking up not having inventory :smh:.

It would better to compare iOS 3 to 4 vs Android 2.0 to Froyo. For instance, in Froyo Android devices got Flash, Increased Exchange Support (remote wipe), Wifi Hotspot functionality, Voice Dialing and Contact Sharing over bluetooth, Support for file upload fields in Browser, Support for installing applications on expandable memory, and more. The update before Froyo they got live wallpaper and iPhone users are just not getting basic wallpaper now. The next update they are getting FLAC playback support (something even iTunes can't do), Built in Media Streaming from PC, and they are going to enhance the UI which is good. Google is making so many changes and so fast that Apple is not going to be able to keep up if they don't change pace right away.
 
Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

Dude is a vistim of his own ignorance.

WWDC is for Developers.. they released Game Center SDK for Developers (it is a feature is iOS 4 not iPhone 4).... and Apple said it will be available on the iPhone and iPod LATER THIS YEAR!

Do yourself a favor and read the thread before you comment.. it makes you look less of an idiot. I'll help you out a little.. its about changes from one version to the next.. first he discussed hardware then switched to software when I asked him to name the changes from Android device to the next.

How so? You asked him the difference b/w Android devices and he said its better to compare the differences in OS (which is correct).. he gave his.. you gave yours.. and like I said, Android has been doing @ least 4 of those. Which reinforced his original statement of "I expected more" and..

"Hey man think about how Apple's marketing has been just for a new design, folders, video chat, and multi-tasking.

"This changes everything. Again."

I honestly feel that the physical design (except the dumb ass antenna placement) shits on every phone on the market.

The reason I'm not feeling the phone is due to the fact that it was marketed as a revolution in the marketplace when in reality it was an incremental jump similar to that of the 3G to 3GS. For one, the design is basically the standard iPhone with flattened edges and an outside antenna (which has become a major problem). The OS is the same thing they've been pumping out the past 3 years just with folders, wallpaper, and multitasking. They neglected to include any way to access information in the OS without having to enter an app and they still have that piss poor notification system. At the end of the day it's the same thing as a 3GS with a couple bells and whistles to fool consumers into thinking it is something new. It's similar to Windows Vista and Windows 7. They tweaked it a bit, made it run faster, gave it a different name, and now people think it is this newly created masterpiece when in fact it's not.
 
Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

Now I will honestly tell you that with all that.. and the fact that their "revolutionary" updates really just caught up to Android... it will never be enough for Divine. You are climbing a never ending hill.

I'd say it's pretty revolutionary. Best Display on the market right now. Face Time. Best HD Video in any smartphone on the market. Game Center Social Networking.

If you disagree that is fine.. but not sure why you are mad at Apple (or their marketing) or others who think that is huge.
