    Apple Live Event: iPhone 6, Apple Watch

    I've seen the stream. I've read the thread. Here is my opinion: . - Apple Pay is probably the best of the show. Integrating with the banks will put this on the map. Any jokes about security are pointless ; there will eventually be a breach. But the same will happen to others. . - Apple Watch...

    Update fixes serious iOS flaw

    This forces all iPhone 4 and later users to ios7. I would like a way to upgrade just the browser on my ios6.

    iPhone 6 could come in July, and iOS 8 may expand TouchID capabilities

    Hard to believe. All the hype will be worn off by Xmas. ;) .

    anyone else get offered an early upgrade

    Competition is strong with the MVNOs. My AT&T iPhone 4S is very happy on H2O for $27/mo (no taxes). That's unlimited talk & text, 500mb data, credit card auto pay 1gb would be: $36.

    Apple again claimed to out 4.7" and 5.5" iPhones in September, iPhone 5c to be phased out

    Well it's the old iPhone 4 GSM that's going back into production for emerging markets, not the 5C. Think that tells the whole story right there.

    LG G2 mini unveiled with a 4.7" display and Tegra 4i CPU, release date is pegged for March

    Obviously not targeted at the North American market. No real plans to roll it out here any time soon. So, why do we care if they make this toad? ;)

    World's new 'thinnest' phone is just 5.5 mm thick, Gionee Elife S5.5 goes on preorder for $370

    A screen that large, and a body that thin...seems subject to twist and flexing. Especially for those who think going commando (caseless) and shoving it in their back pocket is cool. . Otherwise, yea, I'm very impressed. It is in the category with the Samsung Note for ... half? the price.

    HTC now offers Americans free screen replacements within the first six months

    A clever marketing gimmick, to be sure. Doubt it'll really do that much for sales, though. . What I'd like all smartphone makers to do, is offer -reasonable- screen replacements. Maybe $100. Repairman can purchase iPhone 4 & 4S screens for $30. And with the iPhone 4 going back into production...

    Alleged HTC Desire 8 phablet leaks out with 5.5" display and 13 MP camera

    Good to see the Samsung Note 3 getting some competition. But, it's one generation late.

    Steve Wozniak thinks Apple should build an Android smartphone

    Now, iOS on a Note 3 ... that would be something! :) Or even on an S3 or S4, I suppose.

    AT&T New Pricing for Mobile Share Plan! Cut device monthly charge from $30 to $15!

    depends on your needs The MVNO s were given better wholesale rates in December, and now AT&T skewers them with this plan. Makes me laugh. . I had my iPhone 4 with StraightTalk (AT&T) for two years @ $45/mo. (2500mb) Now, I'm on H2o for $30/mo. (500mb) A plan that didn't exist 'till December...

    'One-ring' cell phone scam

    I was once left a message on my answering machine back when 976-numbers were new. This variation isn't new. People who call back one-rings, are likely the same ones who can't resist a random URL. ... HTTP://www.KWSN.NET ... (Its safe. Just an old hobby of mine. I founded the team.)

    Video shows why you want sapphire glass on your next smartphone

    Yea, big deal. What happens when you drop the phone? ... or drop the block on the phone? . Oh, I'm all for better glass, but I've heard all about "Gorilla Glass", and have many shards of it that didn't survive. So excuse me if I'm not immediately amazed.

    iphone 4 production resumes

    . So, you thought the 5C was for emerging markets? * Guess not. It'll be the iPhone 4, instead. http://www.redsn0w.us/2014/02/apple-resumes-production-of-iphone-4-in.html They'll soon be all over India and Brazil. . Edit: and in two years ... Will they introduce the 4S? ??? :up Screw aluminum...

    Sprint Spark is coming home to Kansas City, launching today

    What a joke! LTE didn't do it, so let's change the name, call it Spark, and make a big deal. Sprint should change their name to: PROMISES. :)

    Beware: Device Upgrades at the store MAY cause you to change plans

    Had a similar discussion with my Radio Shack guy, this week. We noted that account changes he's forbidden to do, sometimes go through at carrier company stores. The thought is that they are under a lot of pressure to perform (or die). So they will say anything and do anything to add more...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo vs Galaxy Note 3: first look

    Is this like the "Mega" they came out with a while back? . I didn't see any actual prices listed. For the US market, I wonder if the small price difference between iPhone 5S and 5C might have been the downfall of the latter? (if you're buying, spend the extra $100, and get the good one!) How...

    Verizon now has some new low priced plans

    $60 doesn't impress Unless you absolutely, positively, have to be on Verizon for coverage ... There is a GSM $45/mo alternative with 2500mb LTE. I went to a new $30/mo 500mb no LTE plan. (My 4S doesn't speak LTE) Both are over ATT network and include unlimited text & talk.

    Apple reports 1st qtr Financials and sales

    51 million iphones in the fourth quarter? Considering the 5C washed up like a dead fish ... I presume sales of the new Chinese network-specific model didn't happen 'till January ... And around here, 5S sales kinda sucked through Xmas ... ... it is hard to know where all the phones went.

    Kantar's data shows worldwide decline in iOS market share during Q4, Android and Windows Phone gain

    Just what you would expect, with Apple being the only source of ios phones. And even if they did move 51 million units in 4th quarter 2013, that just doesn't cut it. :) ref: http://www.redsn0w.us/2014/01/tim-cook-officially-admits-iphone-5c.htm. .

    iPhone 6 concept video recreates a new slim design with 4.7" display and extra iOS features

    ...the move from sturdy brushed steel to delicate aluminum. In both, the slippery sides leads to ease of dropping the phone. I vote for light nurling* half way up the sides. You might have to occasionally clean it with a toothbrush, but it wouldn't slip out of your fingers! :) . . * knurl or...

    HP's smartphone revival begins with two enormous Android handsets

    Not a premium screen. Not a premium camera. Might not compete well in the USA. . I wouldn't expect this to sell well for over $500.

    Some Samsung Galaxy S5 specs reportedly confirmed. New Galaxy S5 Mini and S5 Zoom might join the fla

    Will customers really pay a $150 premium for the metal case? I see a large potential aftermarket. :) . Gold (color), maybe? I won't even go down that silly path. ;)
