Which lasts you... after inflation is taken into account, what? 25 years? Die at 45. Awesome

I am 27 and recently worked out that for me to keep my quality of life (and adding a hell of a lot of free time (which costs money to utilise)) I would need ~£8 million or so (just under $13 million) to say today "I will NEVER work again".

If you find a hobby-job, that keeps you busy, you enjoy and at least breaks even then it's a different story.

Idiot. Know many people that went with the Galaxy Note just because of the screen size (though crappy resolution for that screen size). Fits it suit pocket. Over 50 with sight issues and can READ what's on the screen! Important!

Ok, slightly chunky, but on amazon I can buy a battery for my Galaxy Nexus that last 3 days of active use for $20. If I'm travelling and run out of juice I can swap another one in. Not difficult.

Yes, Apple lets through ZERO malware... right... They do care more about malware, true, but they're still not perfect. I have hopes for the new blackberry OS but I doubt it will fly. Having a brain is more or less a requirement for someone who doesn't blindly buy Apple. It's the idiots who allow their machines/phones become infected, unfortunately for us it's the iditots who make up the mass market - this being slashdot I hope that people aren't too offended given that MOST of them are outside of that category.

like a 720p video at the correct resolution? Seriously? WTF? I know you need the same horizontal resolution to run existing apps without a black box around the entire screen (ONLY on the sides when viewed sideways) but seriously, adopt to at least ONE standard!

Funny thing. In Hong Kong it's quite popular to buy an iPhone (fashion) and hack it to run Android (functionality). Heard that a few days back from one of my colleagues who used to live out there last year. Going there Saturday to check if that's true (not the main purpose of the trip obviously).

Can be anything between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on the running of Londons Tube network...

45 minutes is fairly typical, though oddly enough if there is a strike by the workers it runs faster and if theres the wrong type of leaves on the track it can be a LOT longer.
