I personally think Android is the force on the rise to domination,

I think RIM have let it go too far, and apple are grasping, simply look at the new ithingie 5 and the now 'cheap' version,,,,,,,,,

Android is the modern of what MSX was supposed to be, except Android have actually got all the manuf on the same page.

Still wish I'd bought a 10" 64GB Playbook when PC World were doing them sub £100 a short time ago. Would have been ideal as a table tablet for the kitchen music! :lol:

Reading the articles SL has kindly provided, it may be the

best hope for Blackberry.  It prevented a collapse of the

share price, a fire sale and possibly, further job losses.

It is yet another example of Moore's law ignored, in which

we see the necessity to recognise a re-invention of the

technology every two years.

It is just a shame that this could not be done for our much

cherished shipbuilding industry.

It will rise from ashes.  I can only contemplate the fashionable

thing it was and the people who owned them.  Spin Doctors,

disgraced fianciers, possibly ex-nights of the realm who ran

banks, and other dubious low life.

It has been the bearer of bitter fruit.

It's a shame as BB make great phones. My Z10 pisses all over my wife's new Iphone.

The only thing lacking are aps.

and tell me something any Android user doesnt already know?

I have a 5 yo Android, and an iPhone3gs for work, Ive actually gave the 3gs to the wife as I simply find it a piece of male cattle dropping.

to me Apple are just expensive, premium price, but product not far ahead of anyone else anymore.

We've just upgraded (or should that be downgraded???) my daughters mobile to an iPhone 5... although I did try to get her to have another Android..

TBH we got a really great deal £69 for the phone (16GB) on £15 pcm with 500 mins, unlimited texts and 1GB of mobile data

One of the things is that they (Apple) wanted over £400 for the 32GB version. ... ok the 16GB phone was advertised at £250 on that tariff.,,,, but where on earth do they get off charging over £150 for an extra 16GB?????

I just put a £20 micro sd card in mine and its now 32GB!!
