Do you need the game in drive to play then?

But that has no bearing on my original comment, which is that this is small incremental stuff. There's little here I don't already have, but I have a tonne more stuff that's not in ios.

Mail and calendar look nice. Mail looks v gmail-esque. But while I like flat icons, those don't do it for me. Colour scheme is awful.

Well as long as you enjoy it.

that may be, but as the owner of a Nexus 4 that doesn't bother me one jot. i just want the best and iOS just seems to release modest incremental improvements even as android leaps ahead each release.

ill have to see it in action in my ipad to make a firm conclusion - but my feeling is that it merely closes the gap on android, it doesn't put it back in front.

Binoculars? Telescope, no?

If you have cable, probably not. But I certainly moan because I have no cable or satellite and use streaming or download services for music and film. I get my content from either free services (Youtube, BBC iPlayer, 4OD, TV Catchup), paid services (iTunes, Google Play), Subscription services (Sky sports) or things I…

As if. My HD Box pro cost £35 and I'm already on my second one within 12 months coz they're so badly built. They aint gonna be around in 10 yrs time.

The Kinect, conceptually, is an incredible piece of kit. Technologically its very advanced. The problem was wholly unimaginative game design, not the Kinect itself.

That ignores a pretty obvious fact. The least powerful machine from the last 2 generations of games consoles were also the biggest sellers, the PS2 and the Wii. That tells me that a lack of power is not a major factor in a console's success.

You may have your snes but good luck pluggin into a TV in ten years time.

As any politician can tell you, people are far more likely to make noise when they're unhappy. Those who are happy tend not to bother.

Yeah, for me that dual layer of desktop and modern ui apps is silly & they really need to get rid. I like the metro look and would love to run everything from the start screen. But I use MS Office 2010 so I have to dip into the desktop for 90% of my work. You get a feeling of modern ui apps "up there" and desktop apps…

Its not hard (ahem) so much as opaque. Once you've played the game through a few times you know the areas to avoid, the items to get early and the skills to focus on in order to make the game easier in those early stages.

Yeah I'm with you, I prefer the minimal resistance of laptop keyboards - and seek out separate keyboards with the same style keys whenever I get chained to a desktop at work.

The clear pin/password feature on Tasker/Secure Settings is very temperamental. I'd say it works about half the time.

For me, no biggie. I find disk swapping a total ballache and the sooner I can switch to online only purchasing the better. My only expectation is that on those rare occasions when I do get a gap in service (moving house usually means a couple of days without data) I get a sensible short term fix.

Thats the RRP (think it was actually £27). On Amazon its about £19.

Yeah, so I discovered. Still pretty cool tho.
