OK here's the situation in the UK: ALL Smart TVs, most games consoles and Blue Ray players, iPad, iPhone and iPod offer catch-up services ( BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4 o/demand, 5 on demand) from our Freeview channels. There is no local legal prohibi…

"'Sigh, as usual an update that only benefits the US customers. Come on, role out some local content in the UK or elsewhere for once!!!!!!" Spot on M8! Even the lowly Wi has BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, and the other free UK catch up services - the iOS…

After the previous furore about JavaScript I turned it off on my Mac. Went to my favourite forum to submit a post and the clickable links to allow me to contribute had disappeared. I was all ready to notify them of the 'bug' that had appeared on the…

One thing that is both a step backwards and inexplicable on the grounds of cost is abandoning a line-in port. With both headphone and line in ports it's easy to play and record music from an online source using a double ended 3.5 mm jack plug. It ma…

Good thing if Jonny Ive oversees UI desiign, some of the recent decisions about icons and apps are just too literal and could do with a more streamlined and aesthetic makeover. If his hardware decisions are anything to go by he can do this. Pity abo…

I'd go with a tongue-in-cheek side-by-side comparison saying "we are instructed to inform you that Samsung's Galaxy tab ( bottom) released on 21st December 2010 did not copy the look and feel of the iPad (top) released 27th Jan 2010." Everyone will…

The large readable turn by turn instructions when following a route are really well thought out and better than the thin ribbon of instructions of Google maps for those of us getting a partner to navigate from the passenger seat. I've not come acro…

I like the large, turn by turn instructions in the route planning section of Maps - much better than Google! There may be issues but unlike others I'm impressed with this initial implementation! Hope they can sort out the glitches that have caused s…

Spot on, let's hope they take your advice - he can't dictate that they do it with good grace! Irony is the perfect riposte.

Whatever its limitations I think it's great that somebody is making the effort to work out a different approach to the touchscreen interface, rather than just ripping off Apple' as Samsung, HTC and the other 'I Scream Sandwich' clones have. The ri…

Of all companies Apple deserve to be in 'climate credit' - not only have they genuinly and thoughtfully considered the environmental impact of making, shipping and recycling their products but by creating iTunes as a digital marketplace for music th…

I just hope that the stability of Safari improves in this version! It never crashes on iOS but since installing Lion it often 'freezes' (won't respond to input) and has to be force quitted. I sent bug reports but succeeding updates haven't addressed…

Good for Tim - he's kept Apple on track and deserves whatever that brings - just one thing though, he doesn't have to copy Steve by leading the Apple Special Events. Let Phil Schiller and Scott Forstall do them, I know he's a lovely guy and all that…

It is obvious to everybody that this guy is on the make. If he was truly dissatisfied with his 4S he could just take it back and get a refund - what 'damages' is he claiming over and above the cost of the phone? Damages for his hurt feelings, his l…

As a keen photographer I found it really useful to upload a set of images from my DSLR onto my original iPad (using the camera connection kit) to see them at a decent size 'in the field' -surely the very reason for anybody buying this kit. Can't und…
