Some of the posters around here are such suckers. Talk about a reality distortion field, sheesh.

sucker: One who is easily deceived
If someone is a good liar does it still make all people believing them suckers? The only thing I find surprising is the amount of people around here constantly insulting each other. Take your thinly veiled insults somewhere else.

Perhaps. But it also shows me that if MeeGo was finished, ahead of schedule or shown... hoaxes like that would not have been as believable or even able to be perpetuated.

That will happen when it's so blindingly obvious why you indeed CAN justify the limitation of that system. In fact such a thing has been widely successful.

Note: I haven't said it's a better system, just that it's different - and very widely adopted.

Why should it be annoying in the first place? There's really no reason for it to be, and the whole idea of it being "more secure" is stupid. Creating a shared space isn't exactly insecure, and IOS does allow that to some extent by allowing graphic apps to save to "album".

If I save a PDF file from the browser, the PDF file is now stuck inside the browser app, I cant use another app to access it. I would have to e-mail it to myself, or use some file transfer program to take it out and transfer it to the reader/annotation app.

Why the need to go through all those steps? It certainly isn't more "secure". its just stupid and annoying. I'm sure Apple will release an update with a shared data space sooner or later, and at that point you'll be one of the people going "OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME! APPLE IS GENIUS! HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT THIS FEATURE BEFORE!?"

Of course it is, sharing data between applications means every application has access to all your data, that is inherently less secure than running applications sandboxed...that's about as obvious as it gets in terms of application security. Unrestricted access is ALWAYS less secure than restricted access.

If I save a PDF file from the browser, the PDF file is now stuck inside the browser app, I cant use another app to access it. I would have to e-mail it to myself, or use some file transfer program to take it out and transfer it to the reader/annotation app.
Or dump the URL into the reader app.

Why the need to go through all those steps? It certainly isn't more "secure". its just stupid and annoying.
No, that's incorrect. If all applications have access to all the data then one rogue application can compromise your data...security 101.

Again, i'm not saying it's a better solution, just different but given you are disputing the very fundamentals of security it appears you're just calling it 'stupid and annoying' because you don't like it.

I'm not comparing the level of fanboism love/hate for the these three "horses", I am comparing their capabilities. And WP7 is certainly lame in comparison to the other two. Also saying it is lame is not vitriol, saying it is f*cking lame, that's vitriol

Granted.

I just didn't know what you were comparing it to. I'm fresh off of 10 days of using WP7 and oddly enough, it's not half bad.

Too bad... it's only half good. MeeGo being finished would have stopped this move to WP7 by Elop. That's where it all went wrong in my opinion.

Oh... and the three horse thing, definitely not applicable in the North American market. RIM, iOS and Android are the big three here. WP7 will make it 4. But overseas, they're going to possibly try to make it a 3 horse race by killing off Symbian.

That's a risk I'd rather not take if I were Nokia. Hell... I sorta miss the days of the silent Nokia. The new stuff communicated hasn't exactly been the best for Nokia.
