Tbh i have found bootcamping a pain in the *, i would recommend getting a program like Vmware Fusion or Parallels which you can create a virtual machine. You wont be able to play heavy games on the virtual windows but it works flawlessly for practically everything else.

My fusion virtual machine shares its desktop, files, recycle bin etc with the mac partition as well so i can alter anything.

Tbh i dont think you’ll end up doing very much productive stuff on the iPad at all. I currently use an iPad mini and its great for reading books/magazines/email.

Used to own a full sized iPad 2 and apart from storing some documents for viewing i never actually used it for work, it is very much a consumption device.

Which is why google is not making an official app, not enough market. Doesn’t explain why they wont let microsoft make one though..google has nothing to lose by including ads (even though its a small amount) they will get more ad revenue and it will cost them nothing.

Google allowed Apple to create an official youtube app.

Not sure if troll. Are you defending google or the content creators?

If its the content creators, Microsoft WANTS to include the ads. And if its Google would it hurt them to be positive and take the high road? eg. working with Microsoft to rectify this problem rather than going to war.

Microsoft doesn’t want to make an official app, just an app.. and there are many third party apps that do exactly what the microsoft one does on iOS & Android.

Obviously Microsofts app does indeed break the ToS, hence the take down letter and it may very well be taken down. Doesn’t make it right though, Microsoft wants to include the ads and has done the work surely this can be solved by positive means rather than taking the negative.

It maybe business but its not in good faith. There are other ways to do business.

Microsoft has not been so bad at supporting other systems, i remember reading somewhere their thoughts were ‘If we dont do it, someone else will’. There is Office for Mac, yet Apple does not allow their products on windows (Final Cut etc.) and i also believe there is an Office for iPad on its way.

It is a different Microsoft now than what it was in the 90s, facebook & google are still relatively new..

I think its something that would annoy me, to have to choose a carrier over a specific phone and not service. Or to get a phone and realise it cant do certain things.

Microsoft violated the ToS so google has every right. If google were actually trying not to be negative they could have just said to make the changes by *date instead of removing it entirely.

Either way, who uses a youtube app. Never had to open it once while it was on iOS, web browser is where its at!

Mass Effect easily, i basically started from the 2nd one (Barely played the first) and you get most of the story.

Comment

As far as i am aware this wasn’t even a proper announcement, its just the variant of the 920 for other carriers. Not the release of a new flag ship.

Though i dont personally see why in the US they do this (phone variations with different carriers) in Australia we dont really have that, all our providers pretty much stock every phone the same.

*Better multi monitor support, im not just talking about having a permanent 2nd screen attached but more so for the temporary situations (Eg. Using a dock while at work, or plugging into a TV/Projector.) – my apps keep on getting resized to big for screen or stuck on a non-existant monitor after disconnect.

*Big bug fixes

I wouldn’t mind the changes in OP list but ill be more than happy if it fixes just my 2 problems.
