my job gave me a top of the line blackberry bold. the thing doubles up characters randomly while i'm typing. it's slow as gently caress. it's locked up a couple of times on me and I've had to reboot it. i dunno if oyu guys know this but blackberries have a three finger salute. it's alt-shift-del.

wanna throw this in a landfill it's worse than useless. i can't even type a message without spending half the time backspacing and retyping because this pos can't even do hardware keyboard input right.

a coworker here wanted to get a tablet for whatever reason and really liked the asus transformer. i tried to persuade him to just get an ipad and thought i'd succeeded

yesterday he asked me to help him get his new tablet on the office wifi. i came over and he had the transformer and the dock. he already had the wifi password but it wouldn't connect. i tried to use it but the ui was a mess and i couldn't find anything

the only time an ios device should be rebooted is when itunes does it automatically during a system update it prompted you to do

the only other time i've had to reboot my iphone is when words with friends fucks up and doesn't set the volume for whatever music i'm playing at the time back to normal whenever it's done playing a sound

so a coworker had an android and it has an app called car dock

it's supposed to launch an app when you put your phone in a magnetic dock but instead it does it when you put it near any magnet

or any metal

or just any time it feels like it

you can't uninstall it, but you can pay money for an app that replaces what program is triggered to an app that runs and then automatically closes

a big part of apple's success is image control. apple displays in stores are consistent and everything in them always works. their stores are always well staffed and the staff is very courteous

my iphone had a problem and i booked an appointment to get it looked at. this step is important as it ensures that the customer doesn't feel rushed when explaining their problem. i wasn't able to reproduce the problem (the home button sometimes doesn't register or will register twice when pressed once) but the apple employee replaced my phone anyways. keeping me happy as a customer was worth more than trying to wiggle out of dealing with my problem.

i seriously felt valued as an apple customer and the experience was pleasant which is the complete opposite of dealing with my carrier or a big box store. when i buy an ipad i'm getting it at the apple store without a doubt.

that kind of image control is one of the big reasons they're killing everyone else. their margins are good enough that they can afford to spend the extra money on their image and it really shows.

I like how Apple is pissing and moaning in the courts about someone else making a rectangular black tablet instead of improving their product enough to make the competition obsolete. Real winner's attitude there.
android's doing a great job of making it's own tablets obsolete before they even come out

what's funny is that people don't get it at all. apple doens't need to sue to win, but you press every competetive advantage you can. part of running a successful business is loving over your competitors in every which way you can.
