    NO ONE CARES just pick a phone and live with it, if you overly go out of your way to belittle one single platform because of your own insecurities and prejudices then that is your problem not anyone else's.

    This whole android vs./apple vs. has been blown way out of proportion, there are different platforms, with vastly different capabilities, only the very basic use of them are similar, go a little deeper or want to use your phone for something more and they're so different it's like comparing a bowling ball to a wallet.

    Even Tim Cook is admitting that the maps in iOS 6 are so rubbish that you should get your maps from elsewhere. He even goes as far as suggesting you use Bing Maps, Google Maps or Nokia Maps, amongst others.

    Those 'gushing reviews' are looking even less credible now.

    All the adverse forum and press comments about the Iphone5 - well you can't say it hasn't come up to scratch (ouch! sorry) - seems to have temporarily silenced the Goodman.

    No need to worry about viruses when Apple themselves manage to screw it themselves! Poor battery life, camera, maps, touch screen, easily scratchible case, ""Any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color," Apple Senior Marketing VP Phil Schiller said in an e-mail, according to 9to5Mac. "That is normal.""


    No doubt there will be fixes and amendments, but this is supposed to be the premium product and, therefore, expectations are high.

    But the up-side is it has silenced the Goodman for a couple of days at least !!

    He was trying to push his talk about malware in android phones as the last resort in defence of iPhone 5, but it looks like iOS6 is a malware itself lol
  • I have visions of him trying to drive every road in the world with a camera stuck to the roof of his car :rotfl:
