Which is GREAT, as long as I have access to them. Now every time I change a phone I lose them all (with a prepaid SIM). I have absolutely no usage history from the carrier, and that's not about to change. I just wonder what Google will charge for their GV numbers later once they hook us in.
Got a tip for us?

I wonder what all the "Apple does no wrong" people that trumpeted about how good the Walled Garden was will say now that the walls are coming down around them.
Oh right, Apple does no wrong, so this is going to be a good thing! Keep on changing your stance people.
I still think the reason Apple changed the rules is they saw the coming court battle about it and they knew they would loss.
Might as well let down the some of the walls so they still have as much control as they could with yet again some guide lines that give them quite a bit of play room.
After watching how they moved with the iTMS I am not surpised in this one either. They kept the iTMS files lock down as long as they could before they saw several court cases and it was starting to look pretty bad for them in the future.
Yep, just your privacy and perhaps your soul. Nothing of much value these days.
What happens to ppl who had purchased oiriginal GV Mobile App. Do they get GV Mobile+ free? I had paid (I guess $3) for the original GV Mobile app before it was pulled from the app store.
I am in the same boat as you and hoping that we will get a free copy somehow. At the moment it doesn't look like it. According to Sean's site, he is giving it free next Saturday night to everyone who bought it through cydia. Seems odd to leave out the people that bought it through Apple.
EDIT: actually, re-reading his site, maybe the app will be free to anyone next Saturday in honor of his cydia supporters. Not sure if there is any way for him to make it free on Saturday to some and not to others.
For those of us of a certain age, the expression "38911 basic bytes free" sends a shiver of nostalgia down the spine
must download this and do some POKE'ing 53280 and 53281 for the screen colours and SYS 64738 to do a soft reset if my memories are accurate
So how many "flippy" double sided 5.25" floppy disks you are moving to binary to run on this?
Programming App
I hope they approve the kid friendly programming language app called Scratch.

I'm sorry; I will have to disagree. Android sucks in many waysespecially the multitasking and the input methods.
Too bad Apple managed to make their version of multi-tasking even worse. I thought they had learned what bad multi-tasking could do back in the OS 9 days.
At least Android has real multi-tasking.
Its GREAT if you have an option to opt out.
And I have absolutely no interest in hearing how anyone has nothing to hide...

How real is that?
Hehe, if it takes D64 files we're in luck.
I already play all my old C64 games on my Mac. There are some emulators out there that reproduce everything so precisely, even right down to the old resolution characteristics, it's scary.Speaking of emulators . . . Amiga + Rise of the Dragon.

Useless discussion by pseudo geeks that know little and brag a lot...

Explain
Sorry, state-saving and backgrounding certain functions by applications is not what I call multi-tasking. If iOS could really multi-task all applications, then I wouldn't need to wait for devs to update their applications.
Nor would I have to suffer the horrid task manager that keeps filling up but never auto-empties when the OS stops an app.
If you have insight into why this POS solution Apple came up with is indeed superior and you are more educated, please, enlighten us pseudo geeks about it.
The sad part is Apple's own apps multi-task very well. They should just let the OS do normal process scheduling, none of these crappy backgrounding/state saving APIs.
Speaking of nostalgia, ah...flippies. Who can forget saving $1 on true double-sided 5.25" floppies with a hole punch?
Because it's part of our childhood.
You pressed play on a tape, waited until a counter reached a certain number, and suddenly you had a game running on your 10" TV, all from a computer which was build into a keyboard.
Now, THAT'S what I call magical!
Because back then, it offered something called "gameplay" and "story", in terms of games.
Oh yeah, and QuantumLink.
Why do some people feel the need to spin everything negative when it comes to Apple. Is Apple perfect? Far from. Is the competition getting better? Yes. However, it is a personal choice. I don't know if I want to have Google have any of my personal info or access to it. Just don't trust what they do with it. However, I do believe that they are pushing Apple and Microsoft to do better. That's always a good thing.
Those of you who think you are experts on everything (you know who you are), and feel that Apple is the evil empire - just don't buy Apple products. Get a life and move on.
