I didn't realise that people needed an excuse to get rid of iTunes...

"To be honest, the vast variety of Symbian phones with customized firmwares give us pause at offering a standard set of apps or recommendations for better battery life."

@qrius: that would fly in the face of conventional wisdom.

Very nice.

@GBot & Fuzzie: nope, you'd be right IMO as well.

I mostly use web access on my phone for e-mail and facebook, so I did used to browse a bit but now that I have the WinMo facebook app installed, I suppose technically I don't browse much any more.

@aaziz: what can I say, I'm an optimist...

@ShravantiVixx: why would you take the retailer to court after a year when the Sales of Goods Act only obligates them to help you out within the first 6 months?

@Jason Fitzpatrick: but MS now give you 3 years as standard, which is quite often as long as most extended warranties run for.

I tried the PenAgain, it's horrific.

@netposer: try more like 5'.

It depends a lot on the product, the terms of the warranty and the price.

Not particularly for macro work but if you are going to be using a tripod a lot then it's worth getting a remote - especially for D-SLRs.

Screw adding features to iTunes, the best thing Apple can possibly do is to stop forcing people to use it.

@zmnatz: amen.

This happened recently in the UK with Orange - a large number of people used an increase of one of their out-of-bundle charges to cancel by way of breach of contract.

@Torley: "why didn't Apple just call it an "iTouch" before the "myTouch" came out?" because that would've looked dumb given the rest of the iPod range aren't named the iNano and iShuffle.

@Andy Pham: the only thing that the iPhone offers over and above any other phone is the ability (nay, requirement) to sync with iTunes.

Dedicated player.
