Not including a classic desktop sort of mode in Windows 8 is the biggest act of stupidity I have seen in a long time. I installed Win 8 on my spare laptop at home just to see what the crack was, I'll be buggered if I put that on my main rig as my day to day OS. Productivity seems to have been an after thought...lets make it all pretty instead.
"Theres an app for that" - big fucking deal, I've been downloading apps onto my mobile phones since 2001 - usually for free.
"Copy and paste" - you fucking serious? The fact that this functionality was never included in the first iteration is...well...stupid
"Facetime" - lol. I preffered the "3" ads from years ago...and you know what they didn't need to be anywhere near a wifi access point. How the hell is this a big deal?
That annoys me...but its not a deal breaker....the main reason I wouldn't have one is that I wouldn't buy ANY smartphone that didn't have an external memory card slot - so why would i pay apple for the privilege of not having one. Oh and I HATE itunes with a fiery vengeance...if I can't just copy music folders to my mobile in whatever format I please then I'm not interested.
However I understand why people buy them, they do the job for most folk so fair enough, its their money.....
An early 2.2 release was released into the wild for the Galaxy S in the last 24 hours. Thats on top of the other 10 or so software updates that samsung have been working on since the phone was released.
Samsung are developing for this phone like crazy - IT WILL GET 2.2. Don't listen to the haters.
