Can't input a nokia car kit to the existing whatever it is, and have the phone talk to that instead? IOS 5.1.1 works with Nokia bt car kit.

Just in case that's a solution.

Actually mine is a 4. Hers is a 4s which I can check if needs be.

Presume the new software of which they speak will be iphone5.

[Jimbob]

I guess technically yes, could be done.

IOS6 rollout for all afaik.

Presume the new software of which they speak will be iphone5.

iOS 6 will go on 3GS and higher.

[feeutfo]

Yes, they do that with new device release. Or have done in the past.

I await fan boy comments from the Groomer ...but I'm still waiting for a smartphone that, being a cake and eat it type of guy, does everything and is stable, with decent os.
Oh sigh...

[feeutfo]

Has she found the lack of flash yet? Some pages and videos not available etc?

Would not fancy OS 6 on 3G-S, it struggles with 5!

I had the same problem on my ipad, but you can download an app called Photon that you can use to browse flash enabled websites or view flash content. It works well

Whilst that's good news Josh mate, and helpfull

It's not really something we should have to bugger about with. The polotics and back biting crApple get up to is... Disappointing. As we speak there's wranglings over google maps being dropped in favour of tomtom. You tube app dropped in favour of, well, nothing afaict. Why? licenses with google expired. Arrogance abounds.

No wonder there are so many Android owners.

It's upgrade time soon. Will have a look what's around then.

Google Maps and gayTube definately dropped in iOS 6, more due to a spat with Google, rather than a tie-in with Tomtom (Google also own gayTube).


From a technical security perspective, I can see the reasoning for lack of Flash (and other similar frameworks), and not purely due to the poor state of Flash. It can break security of the device, which crApple will claim makes the device more vulnerable to attack (it does), and cynics will claim it reduces crApple's tight grasp of the platform (it does). But, either way, this should not become the user's problem.

TBH, I don't miss Flash on the phone. Never really noticed its not there. Adobe has pretty much said that Flash is to be abandonned.  We can hope utube is abandonned with it, but I'm not that lucky.


For info, Windows 8 in its native mode will not support Flash either. Or Java. Or any other browser plugins. These technologies are not required with HTML5, and web designers will have to pull their finger out and drop all this old shite. But they won't. Until they *have* to.


Up until now, I can only think of one good website that implements Flash technology in a well thought out, integrated way. Thats Oracle's My Oracle Support site. The flash site is being decommisioned in 2 days in favour of an HTML format. Flash has no use in the modern world

I have no problem with progress. But when I can't view a page that the rest of the world can, that gets my goat. The more I get to know the IT industry, like the car trade, the more crap I realise it is.

Still, as all things are relative, coming from an n900 I should be gratefull for a half arsed job I suppose. Sigh...

...I'm some times accused of being negative. That's not the case, I am way way too positive it seems. The negativity is a result of the disappointment.


But as you say. At least it works.

Being the eternal pessimist has a huge advantage. I'm never disappointed.
