ahah right
good job
i wrote this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
it is not that i refuse it
i do it (which it means i use a 3rd party app, u get it?)
the problem is
i am at the phone, someone ask me an info
i need to search for a contact in my address book
i cant remember the name, so i need to search maybe the job title, or
now instead of being able to do it quickly in address book that is inside the call screen i have to quit phone app, open the search app, which is slow, start running a search on the job title which is also slow to set up
while the client i am at the phone with is still waiting
you see why it does not make sense?
i mean seriously, you cant tell me that having a customizable address book like the one in the iphone it makes sense if they do not give you the way to search on each field you type in
seriously this is flawed, especially cause is such a simple and basic function
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So or you have a reading problem, (which i doubt since the job you do), or you just ignore what i write to prove your point right
continuing to ignore the meaning of my answers will not make you win this argument. since every one else can read what i wrote
and no, regarding choices of OS, if you really think that implementing search in every field in the address book (while they spent a lot of money and resources implementing spotlight on the web search) you are out of your mind
apple has 40 billion cash, and implementing that feat it is definitely not a big deal
it is like if in a macbook they give you the keyboard, but dont give you the function to capitalize letters.
Now everytime you need to capitalize a letter you need to open a 3rd party app and waste time doing a function that is strictly connected to a keyboard and typing (like search every field in an address book is connected to having an address book, )
now if they did that and people started complaining you still would say, you can do it with a 3rd party app why you complain?
and you are really saying that being able to search every field of the address book is less important of the "compass" app? really?
how many people do you think use address book every day and need to search compared to people using a compass?
what a pita
lol
Sure I do. You wrote this:
I am only responding to what you, yourself, wrote.
Because resources (time, manpower, etc.) are finite. Apple had the time and resources to release OS 1 (and 2, and 3) with the features that were incorporated into those OS's. They could have made different choices, but those choices would have resulted in being unable to do the other things they did. There's no such thing as a free lunch. So Apple picked, for each release, a set of features. They have exceeded everyone's wildest predictions in sales. I think they made the right choices (because, after all, their goal is to make money, not to meet some academic definition of a proper set of features).
How so? The guy demands a feature, then says he knows he can do it with third party apps but refuses to do so. Does he refuse to use facebook because Apple didn't build it in? Does he refuse to listen to music that wasn't preloaded on his phone?
