Spoken like a true fanboy on all of them. Please research NFC because the whole mobile payments statement is getting retardidly old and shows that you don't know enough about it to formulate an educated opinion
You spelled retardedly wrong (which is only kinda sorta a word to begin with), and if you care about formulating educated opinions, you should care about literacy as well.
More to the point, NFC is being slowly adopted. Why put in technology to use NFC when the NFC standard could change in the next year, obsoleting it? The investment-reward equation doesn't favor Apple in this case at all, especially considering
this article that states "Less than 10 percent of [mobile executives] think NFC mobile payments will become main stream within the next year", with 81% thinking it will be 2-5 years before NFC becomes a "driver of widespread adoption of mobile payments" I.e., it will be 2014, '15, '16, '17, or '18 before NFC is the reason people can pay with their phone.
let me know how it goes on the data plan using the cloud for everything
Is this really your argument? Has this stopped Dropbox from becoming a
$4 billion-valued company? No. Will it stop Apple users from using iCloud instead of across the board wanting removable storage?
No.
airplay...only if you have the fancy 100 dollar adapter called an apple tv that you must then drag around with you if you would like to display in more than your house
My 4-year old Samsung TV doesn't come with the DLNA standard required. In fact, per
this forum, it appears DLNA was only included for mostly 40" televisions and larger. Not sure how accurate that is now, but unfortunate for me.
Good thing I can spend $100 for an Apple TV that lets me Airplay.. and watch Netflix, Hulu, and MLB.tv.. and access my iTunes library on my network.
siri sucks ass and only works about 10% of the time and let me know how that works in a noisy environment or when you are not alone...unless you like looking like a dork yelling the same thing 15 times at your phone in a restaurant and like watching the purple dots dance on the screen and then go away without typing anything
From your viewpoints shared, you probably don't have extensive first-hand experience with Siri. Neither do I, but my fiance does, and so do my co-workers, who all claim Siri works fine. But don't just take my limited gathered feedback: take
this report, that states Siri "understood approximately 89 percent of his questions in the quiet room and 83 percent of his questions in the louder environment".
89, 83 > 10.
who gives a crap about thinnest and lightest anymore? Anyone can make a thinner phone by sacrificing battery size.
Which is exactly what Apple
DOESN'T do. Good try, though.
