Smartphones

I carry my keys in my back pocket but I always set them down wherever I go or give them to my wife to put them in her purse (or put them in my desk drawer at work). I never sit on them... This is really only a problem in the summer when I'm not wearing a coat.

Are you Inspector Gadget? Coat and phone....something-something-something. Carry on

My GoogleFu is failing me. Any word on the Note 3 and wireless charging? Inbuilt or with accessory?

Conference to announce year-old technology and convince people that it's great in 15 minutes.

fixed

The new camera sounds pretty sweet though. Bigger pixels, two-tone flash, 10 fps burst, 720p @120fps for slow-mo

Well they just announced the first 64 bit phone on the market ..... so not exactly year old technology this time

The Atari Jaguar was 64-bit. I'm not impressed.

Oh lord, I can totally see people boycotting the iPhone 5S because Apple will send their fingerprints to the NSA

I'm willing to bet that most Applesheepfans won't even know how a 64bit processor is different from a 32bit one

'It's just faster!', 'First one on the market! Innovation!'

Apple claiming fingerprint stored locally, not on Apple servers or iCloud.

This marks what, the third year in a row of iPhone disappointment?

Make the screen bigger you stupid fucks.

Any word on a cheaper version? 5c or whatever?

Basically if you don't want a fingerprint scanner, you don't care about a SUPER DUPER camera (just a SUPER one), you don't want to play graphic intensive games on your phone, and you don't mind a plastic body, you should be getting the iPhone 5C.

yeah, pretty big disappointment I'd say.

Biggest disappointment is that the 5 isn't getting a price drop. 5c is a plastic 5, but I don't want a plastic phone. Guess I'll get an HTC One.

What more could you care about though? I feel like there isn't all that much room left to innovate on smartphones in general. Better camera, better processor, better motion tracking, and a finger print sensor are pretty cool upgrades if you ask me.
