AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

Same story here.. Switched from Verizon for an iPhone. I’ll be standing in line to switch back to Verizon when it finally snags the iPhone. I feel sorry for the iPhone-bashing, but NOT for AT&T.

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

I fail to understand what sort of brain cell AT&T is using with their retorts. Verizon hasn’t claimed AT&T doesn’t reach 97% of the nation in some manner. Their ads are very clear: AT&T’s 3G coverage is pathetic and this hurts data intensive products like the iPhone, full stop. AT&T is coming back at Verizon like some of the forum posters you see: make a rebuttal to a claim no one ever made and say you win.

Panasonic rolls out MW-10 system with iPod dock

Any indications whether this will play back video or photo content on the iPod or iPhone?

Or is it like the Sony clock radio which only plays off the SD card?

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

I think AT&T better pray that Verizon never gets the iPhone.  If they do there will be a stampede of users to switch.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T from Verizon just for the iPhone.  If Verizon gets it I will switch back in a heart beat.

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

I switched providers to have an iPhone.  Pretty dumb hugh?  Anyway, having been both an ATT and Verizon customer I can say that based on my expierence Verizon has far better coverage.  Hands down.  The only reason ATT is responding to the Verizon ad is because it is accurate and it hit a nerve at ATT. I believe that ATT should spend more time on spreading their network throughout 100% of the geographic US rather than BS prople about only providing coverage to population centers.  What if I want to get away from 96% of the population?  Does that mean that my ATT phone will work 0.0% of the time?

Apple: 40-50 new stores coming in 2010

Wow, that certainly puts walking two blocks from my office into perspective!

Rogue Amoeba abandons iPhone development following app approval delay

Taking that statement to its logical conclusion, does that mean that showing an Apple image in the web browser is also disallowed?  So are apps with browsers that can open Apple’s web site going to be the next to go?

As John Gruber pointed out over at Daring Fireball (http://daringfireball.net/2009/11/airfoil_touch_situation), the images weren’t IN the app, but were Apple’s own images being displayed BY the app, transmitted over the network FROM Mac OS X itself (specifically via Airfoil running on the Mac, but still retrieved from Mac OS X using a public and fully-supported API call).

“the mac apis arent the iphone apis “

My understanding from the article is that this is exactly the reason Rogue Amoeba has decided to focus on the mac and not the iphone.

Way I see it if you show an apple image wether its apple api’s on the mac or in the app its self its still apples image and shouldn’t be used. the mac apis arent the iphone apis

NASA creates iPhone-based chemical sensor

Bottom line your never going to see the iPhone used for this on the shuttle, or any NASA mission. In fact you’ll never see an iPhone used for any official NASA items. Again it’s a waste of taxpayer recourses to develop without the possibility of use. If they want to develop a sensor put It on something they use in thier existing tech they have enough computer power on all thier existing stuff.

Again thanks for wasting tax payer money, that’s why private funds haven’t backed this because it’s not goning anywhere. Just nice free ad for apple on tax payer dime.

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

JonnyOneNote, my favorite AT&T bashing story is how the calls I made on my iPhone dropped over and over while I was standing outside of an AT&T store in New York City. Verizon, feel free to use my story in your next commercial, because it is true.

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

Dear AT&T Cingular SBC Whatever you want to call yourself:

Your coverage may “reach” 97% of the population, but unfortunately only 10% can actually complete a successful call on your “fastest” network.

And that rate drops even lower in San Francisco and New York City.

AT&T responds to Verizon attack ads

Keep twisting the truth, AT&T.  It will really help you in customers eyes. 

- An iPhone customer in Portland, OR. who is actually fairly satisfied with his AT&T service, but who realizes that many areas in the US are not as well served, and does not appreciate AT&T’s constant lying about the subject.

Apple launches in-browser iTunes Preview

Like the web portal into the ITMS.  However, will not (repeat not) at this point trust my music collection to the “cloud”.  Someday, this should be normal - at this point, the technology and, more important, the business model just isn’t there yet.

NASA creates iPhone-based chemical sensor

Actually, this is a perfecst use of the iPhone. Why waste money developing a portable platform when the iPhone can provide everything but the sensor. Work on the sensor, develop some software and now you have a portable device with storage, touch display, cell phone, WiFi and Bluetooth.

Apple launches in-browser iTunes Preview

I like this concept. The evolution should be that a user can store his/her entire music selection online.
Mobile Me does all some rudimentary music storage and playback but w/o the slick itunes interface. GO APPLE!!!

NASA creates iPhone-based chemical sensor

Actually, xing, NASA’s research explores technological possibilities that can lead to more pragmatic devices and processes and how to use existing technology in novel and money-saving ways. The sensor mentioned in this article demonstrates how off-the-shelf technology can be parlayed into useful scientific tools. In other words, NASA doesn’t have to build its own handheld computer with data transmission capabilities. That can save NASA a lot of money.

Stop thinking with your knee, jerk.

Excellent, hope apple keeps in this direction. Put iTunes on the cloud get that bloatware off the computer. Works for netflix

Just like a government employee, develop something on a closed platform that has no future or use, outside of development for the sake of development. 

Thanks for wasting more tax dollars, maybe the ranks of the unemployed should grow by 1 more.

That’s great!  Maybe they can link this sensor to the iFart application in order to rate the foulness of one’s farts.
