Seriously. That seems pretty irresponsible

Plus, Apple would never do something like this, so there is essentially no reversal if it catches on.

This is a really good idea for Google in terms of shifting a multi-platform development effort into an Android focus versus an "iPhone, then clone with Android later" one.

Yeah, this is a huge problem.

I threw a link up to get some extra feedback/downloads on the App. — This isn't a hoax.

That's one of the reasons why I've enjoyed keeping up with school. I never finished (yet), but I've been taking a class or two per semester for the past 4 years or so. Keeps you thinking in different ways and introduces you to new things!

I'm pretty "ho-hum" about it. Personally, between Hacker News and Reddit, I've already got enough stuff to keep me busy. I don't really do any serious reading on my iPhone except for Twitter since that's about all my attention span can last

Didn't they try to ease stock away from those who owned it pre-IPO? How has that panned out now? … Was it converted to less valuable cash at the time, or is the cash more valuable now? (or was it that they got nothing in exchange for losing

Pretty cool. I wish it had the transit stuff left over, though!

We ran into this when I was working on App Map. http://appmap.mobi It's just one of the roadblocks against cloning the App Store or just putting a spin on what Apple is doing. It's not a big deal as long as you're doing something differen

Should only be temporary … I downloaded a new App just before this started happening to everyone. Now I can't get any more.

That seems like a ridiculous tax against one of the only growing industries for young people to participate in….

Right, but what if the network began supporting it? My understanding was that even if turned on, the current device still relies on either CDMA or HSPA/whatever for voice no matter what.

Yeah, same here. I do this all the time. The fact that AT&T is the cheapest option for me ($75/month for unlimited data, 450min, 1000 sms) and that it's the only one here that does this basically forced me to keep it. — Now, I just have

Doesn't the current phone not support VoLTE?
447.
by benguild 14y ago
Yeah. No matter what, you're screwed this time around. Verizon's version doesn't support simultaneous data and calling. PITA. AT&T doesn't support LTE when roaming except in Canada. PITA. International GSM versions can't get AT&T LT
