  1. My iPhone 4s works fine as a Personal Hotspot on 3, works for macbook, iPad, Nexus, etc Can't see why not being able to do the same for the iPhone 5
  2. I've been using macs since 2006, love the OS and can't imagine working on a windows based PC on a daily work stuff. Own iPads, iPhones, iPods, apple tv, airport express, macbook and macbook pro. Meanwhile my media player acer revo runs on windows 7 with xbmc, takes at least 7 minutes to boot, windows 7 known bug, unresolvable Few days ago I got a Nexus 7, love the android 4 for the in-car pc stuff, navigon and sygi, soon the tomtom, torque and so on, but I can't imagine using it like I'm using the iPad, it's way beyond the iOS5, talkless iOS6... Never had any problems with Apple products, you open the lid on the macbook, start working, no crashes, no restarts, uptime it's few months, unless restart is needed after system upgrade, you finish work, close the lid, all perfect. No defrag, no antivirus, no BSOD, no windows not responding, no windows has performed... and will be shutdown, etc How can I not advocate products that never failed me?
  3. Meanwhile... The reaction to the announcement of the iPhone 5 may have been muted, with many of the new features widely trailed in advance, but that didn’t stop pre-orders breaking records. More than two million pre-orders were placed in the 24 hours following its availability, according to Apple. ‘iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal,’ said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. ‘iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we’ve ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do.’ Apple began taking pre-orders on Friday, but within an hour had sold out of its initial allocation and shifted despatch estimates back by a week. The company’s UK website is currently showing delivery estimates of 2-3 weeks. The iPhone 5 goes on sale in Apple retail stores on Friday and long queues are expected. In addition to those lining up in the hope of bagging a new iPhone, Apple’s retail launches have attracted so much media attention that they’ve become a magnet for publicity-seekers and those who want to promote their business or website. and Excitement over the iPhone 5’s imminent arrival is driving Apple’s stock to new heights. Shares of the company rose past $700 in after-hours trading Monday after closing at $699.80. Apple’s journey to a $1 trillion valuation seems to be getting shorter by the day.

  12. Looking on the internet for some ideas, found some nice photos which I thought it's worth sharing. Feel free to add yours to this gallery!
  13. Got the Nexus, I simply love it, really nice piece of hardware! Won't have much time to spend on it today as we're going out soon but as soon as I'm back, rooting the device, installing Torque and Navigon and we're good to start the disassembly, getting it ready to fit into the dashboard. Surprisingly, extremely responsive touch screen and very, very fast!
  14. Think I'm going to upgrade from Cookie's tablet to a Google Nexus 7. Doing a bit of research at the moment. Edit: On my way to collect from Totenham Hale!
  15. Apple made it official—the company said on Friday that it has been "completely blown away" by iPhone 5 pre-orders. Announced during a media event on Wednesday, Apple sold out of its initial inventory for the device in only one hour Friday morning when it went on sale at midnight. In a statement issued to AllThingsD, an Apple spokesperson said, "Pre-orders for iPhone 5 have been incredible. We’ve been completely blown away by the customer response." There's more to that statement than it being simply PR-speak making a big deal about selling out of its pre-order stock. Apple keeps a tight rein on all official communications, and what this statement really means is, "Yes, we sold out in just an hour, but we made a ton of these things ahead of time. No, seriously, it was a lot—more than we've ever made for another iPhone rollout—and our quarterly results are going to reflect that." Apple can't just come out and say that, however. Well, it could, but that's not what Apple does. Nonetheless, the message will be loud and clear for analysts and investors alike. This way Apple gets to deliver its message without actually saying it. This is especially important because Apple has seen earlier declines in iPhone sales ahead of product refreshes as leaks have proliferated and consumers have paid attention to Apple's scheduling. By making a lot of iPhone 5s for the official launch on Friday, September 21st—and selling them—the company will book this initial wave of sales during its fiscal fourth quarter. In comparison, last year's iPhone 4S was announced on October 4th, and all of the initial wave went into the December quarter. Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer and Apple CEO Tim Cook at that time blamed a sales shortfall in the third quarter on rumors and leaks. By moving the launch date back three weeks and building a ton of the new models ahead of time, Apple has sort of solved that particular issue, at least for the last quarter before said refresh.
  16. The guys from next door to RT-P dropped one of my susspension arms on your bonnet while replacing them with the MeisterR kit... Don't worry they've sticked some Halfords logo on the scratch, you can't notice it anymore, unless you look very close, say less then 30 yards... Now, the one on the door must be from the black van reversing while trying the rear sensors yesterday, did you notice the guy working on it while you were there, Pete? It's not massive, but the door doesn't shut properly now... Sorry bud!
  17. Seen your car today, Peter, it's got a massive dent on the passenger door and a 23cm scratch on the bonnet!
