I wouldn't use the term 'fanboy'.

Fanboy is someone who rants and raves about something to the point where it is a reference to who they are. Like; "Say, do you know barry?" "Yeah! Is he the dude that NEVER shuts up about that thing he loves and you're gay if you have a competitor?" "Yeah that's him"

Though most of us are Window FANS. Different meaning Just thought I'd inform you, You don't want to go accidentally sparking a flamewar. No pun intended.

Back to Qik. I would think as an approved App on the app store, Qik would have the common sense to remove the cydia link.

I don't think it's doing the live streaming though. :(]]>Aug 24th 2009 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/Aug 21st 2009 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/Here's to the FCC laying da smacketh down on their candy asses!]]>Aug 21st 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/Should have said: "Well, that was qik."

Symbian just owns in terms of "serious" applications, or should i say applications that do more than fart.

:D the iPhone OS is too much of a teeny OS amo.. in terms of application availability (not the numbers but the types..)]]>Aug 22nd 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/
Keep it up with that straw-man argument. We see right through you.

Those links only show how the AppStore system is improving by weeding out useless devs.

And creepinshadow? Symbian? Maybe 5 years ago. But that isn't where it's happening now. Symbian is dead.

I have an iPhone and a G1.

Both phones have their pros and cons.
However I will still say the iPhone is one of the best phones I have ever owned.
Having owned numerous PDA phones in the past and comparing them. The iPhone has the best polish of any interface.
The G1 is sometimes sluggish just scrolling the application list or call list.
This is something I never saw on the iPhone.
The G1 has a physical keyboard that I can actually say I now prefer to touch screen keyboards.


If it weren't for the fact that I grew tired of waiting for a known good jailbreak/unlock then updating/unlocking/jail-breaking only to find another iPhone update was coming out a month or two later. Id still be toting my iphone. (That and 3G I have a 1st Gen iPhone).



So stop calling people that have iPhones Apple fan boys. People have preferences.
I am a geek. I am a software engineer that studied electrical engineering for heavens sake.
I like to tinker and hack.
I am no "idiot".

The iPhone for me has a great interface and quite honestly look wonderful.


I don't think anyone can slam ANY phone until they have actually used one for more than 2 weeks.
(Even if the Palm Pre doesn't look inviting to me. I'm NOT slamming it)

Maybe one day the Android OS will appeal to me in the same manner.
For now I'm happy that I can code a JAVA app for my phone over night and share it with friends without having to put it on the app store.


BeDammit

I'm not happy about missing call waiting beeps on the G1

Second of all, how many of you actually have GV invites (as it is a private and invite only beta) and how many of you actually use SlingPlayer? Several of you might say "I do", but in reality, you and other would be users of these apps account for a very very tiny percentage of overall iPhone users. It's always the tiny groups that complain and blow stupid things like this way out of proportion. I don't get why people continue to bitch about the AppStore approval process when most of you agreed to it when you decided to use the AppStore in the first place. If you don't like it, go to Android. The AppStore has always been this way, closed and controlled but still a great service to anyone who uses an Apple device. I for one am very pleased with my iPhone and the AppStore. It's very rare that you won't find a quality and useful app in a certain category that you are looking into. So we don't get google voice (pointless if you consider you have to pay $70+ every month to AT&T to use voice and data and then download an application that would wind up using your carriers network anyway. Free texting on GV is awesome, but you can also use AIM or Skype for that). ]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/qik-for-iphone-3gs-update-removes-wifi-only-restriction-3g-s/I have GV and then got two invites. I sent one and the other is just sitting there as I am pondering what lucky friend would get it.

Im sure there are many more GV users that you anticipate considering it was Grandcentral before.

They block use of some of the best apps ever created (IMHO, SKype and various MEDIA extensions for streaming internet radio ).
