Well of course the HDTV should be cheaper, it has only 1/3 of the pixels...I take it you're not one of those people concerned about 720p for Wii U's launch titles :).

Why are you trying to polish a turd? Its possible, but why?

How's Apple get away with charging 16GB for $100? Nintendo should copy them.

Looks like iOS6 will bring Siri to the latest iPad as well as many countries around the world will gain local search features.

Nice, I can finally try it out and see how it is. No Siri on my "old" iphone 4, heh.

They just demo'd a cool new app to make buying various tickets easier. Integrates with 3rd parties but makes managing them simpler. from movies to planes...

This conference is what will determine if I get an iPhone or the Galaxy SIII.

I don't want to settle for 3.5" on a screen.

The screen size is the only thing you care about?

The S3 is an awesome phone that you define.
The iPhone5 will surely be an awesome phone that Apple defines.

Biggest question is if you already live with Apple stuff and iTunes/iPods. If you do, then yes you should probably choose iPhone for simplicity. If you don't then dont' head that way or eventually you're forced into it. High prices and all.

Surfing the net is a chore to begin with on a 4" screen, so 3.5" is worse.

Playing games on 4" isn't terrible, but no reason to go smaller if I can go larger.

 

I want an iPhone for the game software if you want me to be 100% honest, but I don't want it on some tiny ass screen. I have Brachydactyly so this problem is 1000% worse.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

RAM? That's because people are lazy and don't want to install it themselves. You have to pay a premium to have Apple do it for you.

Most manufacturers charge an exorbitant amount of money for extra RAM, increasing hdd size, etc. I remember the last time I bought a Dell laptop I installed my own RAM. The same with my old Asus laptop, I installed extra RAM and a bigger hdd myself as it was cheaper. If I had a Macbook Pro, I'd install the RAM myself as it's much cheaper that way.

looks like Apple caught up to Android again. Its new Maps has voice navigation and 3D views of cities. Again, another new feature apple fans will like. I know I've loved it. Hopefully they'll also allow Google to use its full Maps app on iOS now.



ok so OS6 wrap up..

various enhancements to apps, safari, etc
interoperability with OS X better
enhanced siri to integrate with 3rd party apps far better
new maps replaces google... really the same experience google provides on android



it will go to iphone 3GS and later, ipad 2 and 3, and itouch 4



and it ends. No iPhone 5 discussion.

i'm out!
