Re: Wow!lol right.
On a similar subject though, I would like to submit this as an example of COMPETITION. App Store submissions are down. Most of the industry agrees that Android will take over the market within the next year and a half. The future for Apple is looking more and more like a rehash of the Mac vs PC battle. And Android's recent sales success comes very much at Apple's expense. This all is forcing Apple to open up its system, and generally implement what its customers have been demanding for 3 years: transparency.
Do prying government eyes help speed up this process? Maybe. But it's more a coincidence than cause and effect. Government takes years to make a case, bring it to trial, and finally settle. There's little incentive to "shape up" anytime soon. But businesses have to respond to the market every quarter. | |

Re: Wow!said by tiger72:App Store submissions are down. Is that a sign that Android is more popular/better/etc, or that the market is just completely saturated with thousands of identical or at least extremely similar apps that, in many cases, no one really cares about and it's not worth a developer's time/money to submit one more duplicated app? | |

It's just a factor in a set of circumstances that would influence Apple to finally loosen up the reigns a bit. I think it is indeed a sign that Android has reached maturity, but I agree that it's just as (if not more) likely that the AppStore is saturated with many very similar or one-trick apps with very limited usefulness. | |

said by RoKmAn0:Finally...Hopefully the integration is better than it was with my Nexus One. ::P have you used it since it lately? As someone who currently has google voice integrated on about 4 different android devices it has been revamped and works great. On my nexus one it is seemless and with the widgets you couldn't ask for easier navigation. | |

Dunno, it works perfectly fine on my X10 including its settings widget (off/on/always ask/int'l calls only) and I use it for all my int'l calls. | |

Yeah its okay although the texts for some reason don't show the dates and noticed some synch issues as well..
And I am not too fond of 'callbacks'. Hopefully the native iphone app will incorporate the faster dialing mechanism available on Android. | |

Google Voice (from Google) will be free too... | |

I'm returning my Captivate as we speak...I've had nothing but issues with my GPS on my Captivate (but that's a whole other issue). My main reason for going with the Captivate was Google Voice. I plan on going back to the iPhone and I'm ecstatic that the official Google Voice app is going to be approved. | |

Re: I'm returning my Captivate as we speak...I love my Captivate. The screen is better than the iPhone, GPS works great for me, especially after the recent firmware update, and I just like how much I can customize Android. | |

Re: I'm returning my Captivate as we speak...Any word on whether or not this will include sms push notifications on the new itouch?
Doesn't seem like this would be a lot to ask since it works so well on Android. | |

I loved the phone too but the GPS and the tech support was horrid. Their answer on the fix: "Froyo may fix it, or it may not, but we don't have a fix in the works." The AT&T over the air update last week was supposed to address it. I don't have time to tinker with shit every day like what I was doing with the Captivate. I miss the screen, but happy I switched back to the iPhone. | |
