Re: maps.google.com

So, you're using a browser to actually utilize maps on your phone. That's not even a bandaid. More like a "duct tape fixes everything" type approach.

At least the Maps/Latitude/Navigation on my Android powered phone actually work.. and work well. Keep trying to defend your iPhone. We all know the truth.

Retina Display detachment

You do realize that DVD's are 720x480.. So technically, they're 480p.

..and DVDs are last decade.. Try Bluray. The problem is, it'd still not look good on a 2880x1800 display since Blurays are 1080p (that's 1920x1080).

So.. What's the point of the Retina display?

So, basically they're trying to patent a battery. Looks like Apple is really trying to patent everything they can get away with.
