This is great news! Last time I used it (more than a year ago) it was still felt quite buggy. That being said, has anyone successfully used Xamarin or have an example of a large and successful app built with it?

In London about 95% of my Uber drivers were named Mohammed whereas most of the black cab drivers I've encountered seemed to be white. Uber is just as popular in London than in the US so at least here that does not seem to play a role.

Some of them sort of do or are trying to do this already. Arsenal actually bought StatDNA, a football data analytics company, a couple of years ago. So time will tell how they will use this to their advantage.

Yeah that is exactly my point. Additionally Amazon has added more and more hurdles to the buying process such as add-on items and items shipped from a merchant who has his own shipping charges which do not count towards the 'free shipp

Amazon without prime is just frustrating at this point (and the price for prime is not worth it for the majority of people). In the UK minimum shipping is £20: I recently bought an item for £19.99 and had to buy a random tiny item for £0.

Having not used anything by Logmein or heard much about them, what's the reasoning behind wanting to jump ship asap? Are they just bad at running a company or are you scared they will sell your data or similar?

I am in the same boat. Wireless charging seems to be something very few people use, but those that do love it so much they would not want to trade it. Being able to simply lay my phone on my bedside table at night and have it fully charge

How would you go about implementing activeUser.Delete()? I guess you would have to replace the object and return a new DeletedUser and then make sure that your activeUser object is not referenced anywhere else?

So does anyone know what they used to build the 'unified' app UI? If I remember rightly they used WPF on Windows in earlier versions. Is the UI now abstracted using a third-party framework/inhouse framework?

Feel At Home basically means that your mobile will act the same as if you were in the UK. Sending a text from the UK to a (for example) Spanish number incurs a cost outside of your allowance. So that same text would also incur a cost when
