Agreed. After 10 minutes I was fine with using Windows 8 and don't see what the big deal is among people who are technical. With someone like my mom or sister i could see it being a bit more of an issue.
I would'nt say 30 minutes but i would say they push a lot of updates. The only problem I have with that is that it's not always apparent what they're updating.
I've always wondered this myself. I'd love to see someone with video editing skills put some of the low res crappy meme and self shots that appear on most facebook feeds.
Agreed. I was pretty resistent to the new pricing when the rep was explaining it to me because i just knew there had to be some fine print. Needless to say i'm very happy with the plan change and i'm paying much less than i was. I did have to pay a little more up front for the phone but it was worth it.
I wonder how this will effect advertising billboards as well. Could you put your advertisement on the 3d model (taken from Maps) of the building you're looking at? Who owns that space? :)
It's sad when people hate on every piece of tech that isn't their favorite. If they would have came out with a new Bold with OS 7.5 people would bitch. They develop BB10 and people still bitch.
I don't see how the phone's android emulation can be slower than the Playbook. The Playbook emulation actually works pretty well. The same goes for the multitasking. I'd be surprised if the BB10 multitasking was worse than the Playbook which multitasks like a beast. With that said I wonder if it has a mode to turn off "showcase" type multitasking to save battery life?
On the Verge review he stated that sometimes he could go from 9am to 6pm and the phone would be dead and other times it lasted a bit longer. I'm wondering though if this is because BB10 has real multitasking (judging by the Playbook) and any apps he leaves open are actually running.
Talk about a blast from the past, my dad used to read all those Mack Bolan books. :) I swear there was one where he was on a tractor shooting someone on the cover...
