Apple iPhone app patent claim 'doesn't feel right'

Well...

I'm afraid I just don't see it.....

Regent Street blocked by iPad fanboi swarm

What a load of baloney

You talk utter shite my friend.

You can write any program you like (but I doubt you have the intellect) for the OS X platforms - I assume you intended to refer to the iPhone platform ?

In terms of the iPhone platform then yes you do have to follow the app guidelines - for the vast majority of users (read non geeks) this is a good thing and ensure the platform remains safe from the more salubrious content and free from malware crap.

If you believe that Microsoft don't intend to do something similar on Windows Mobile 7 (or whatever it's now called) then you are sadly mistaken.

The adoption rate of the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad just show that what the majority of users want is diametrically opposed to the wishes of the geek powerusers.

Open your eyes and grab one of the latest Apple products - you might just enjoy the experience.

Apple's move to kill Hackintosher suit denied

You dumb b*stards

Do some research you dicks - Apple are not pursuing the hackintosh market here - what you as an individual get up to with your copy of OS X is up to you. However if you then set up a business and try and sell them then of course you are in fucking breach of copyright and Apple has every right to stamp on you.

You dumbwits just don't get it.

Why the iPhone's megapixelage alone won't matter

@Cameron Colley

You are sooo funny. Admit it you've never used an Apple product have you - you are aware that the iPod/iPhone can be used on Windows too aren't you ?

Open your eyes a little - there's a wonderful world outside of your Microsoft comfort zone.

Wow thanks for the explanation - you must be a manager.

Enterprise class mobility

Don't rule out the iPhone

It has the best usability & interface and by far THE best development environment of any mobile platform.

Apple has such a clear and concise strategy in terms of development frameworks and tool sets that make RIM and Microsoft's offering look very poor in comparision.

It's not just me that is saying this but many long term Windows developers - have a read of this article to make it clear why Apple will win this battle
