Then what the everliving fuck would give you real insight into the hardware capabilities of the Lumia 1020 beyond the average user?

I can see the Empire State Building all the way across town from a Windows Phone.

If you’ve ever thought the iPhone took the best pictures, you’re definitely not qualified to judge.

I don’t buy it. You don’t sound like a real developer.

Ditto. There have been scores of phones capable of better.

I’m just looking at this and imagining the erosion to come.

That looks soooo good! I want some Hugh, too!

I understand that the people wanted to honor their friend, but when did we change from saying “we are horrified that this happened, and are committed to find a solution” to “he was a hero, an inspiration, etc, etc.”

As I shared above, it is also important to note that the vast majority of research in the world is paid for by the NSF and other U.S. science and academia initiatives.

Our government pays for the vast majority of the research, dig?

Neither is attacking knowledge/education, but that’s exactly how republicans want it.

1 - The Zune was released with the ability to find and download music with the device and wifi in 2006. The iPod touch was released in 2007. The music store was released as an app in 2008. Wrong on all counts.

High-resolution display, 720p graphics output, HDMI connector, unlimited music play without commercials, 10 free OWNED downloads, efficient interface, high quality audio conversion, etc.

Given the replies in this article, I think someone needs to tap Microsoft’s shoulder and tell them that the glaring blind spot they’ve had regarding the Zune and how much people genuinely love it is now completely documented for their convenience.

That’s the thing with Microsoft. They’re so far ahead of their time on so many things that they fall face first into a black hole, unable to figure out how to create momentum.

It was the one goldmine that Microsoft never exploited.

You do realize that at the time, you had to do the same on any other comparable device, right?

You really don’t remember what Apple was offering at the time, do you?

Agreed. My Zune HD always had much better quality than my iPhone has, even today (even with high quality music samples).

I should note also that for years, Microsoft was inundated with requests for a Zune Phone that was simply a larger version of the Zune HD.
