If someone wants to have his/her phone be the center of the universe, that's fine. It doesn't match my needs/wants. My devices are the means to an end, not an end in itself. There are different choices for different needs and lifestyles. My BB is my daily driver, my go-to device. I love my Atrix, but I love my BB more.01-22-12 08:59 AMLike 0 - Yup. Comes from growing up and understanding what is needed and what is necessary and useful and what is fluff or window dressing. I have little use for fluff or window dressing. So I get what I need and I'm not swayed by what is popular....I stay with what is useful to me.01-22-12 09:02 AMLike 0

- But accurate, no? We all have our different needs and wants for our devices. Personally, I like mine to do as much as possible. It's always nice to have the ability to do something than not. That one time you actually do need that function it might come in very handy.
But, when 'fluff', 'window dressing' and 'swayed by what's popular' get thrown into the conversation, it seems to go from simply expressing an opinion to expressing, at best disapproval, to, at worst, disdain.
That's all I meant.01-22-12 11:37 AMLike 0 - Originally Posted by [email protected]Of course. It's all up to the users preference.

I'm not an apps person, I don't care much for apps. We just need to encourage developers to make apps that we could use. If verizom/3UK (or whoever else) didn't have exclusives over skype, we would be using it right now, the same for the platforms that haven't put anything out in appworld or via mobihand.

There are a lot of free diet apps.
Meanwhile, back on topic......
I feel ya OP. It is frustrating seeing apps available for droid/iOS and not BB. I haven't seen any I desire yet, but you do get the feeling of being left out.
Pantless is taking the right approach. Write/call the developer, and help get them to realize, there is a market out there. They aren't going to take notice, because of posts on CrackBerry, no matter how eloquently stated.pantlesspenguin likes this.01-22-12 07:17 PMLike 1 - if a company makes an app for android, and it sells a lot, they make money
if they port that app to blackberry for no cost, they make more money - because even if only two playbook owners buy an app, they still made 10 bucks they didnt' have before porting it to blackberry
because the playbook community feels so starved for apps, every single good app will sell thousands upon thousands of copies, not just two, so i don't get it at all - what's the big deal? laziness most likely
seriously - look at all those gameloft games that were ported, they have SO many other awesome titles that could just as easily be ported to bb, but they haven't yet. so, what's that issue? who knows - perhaps apple and google make "side deals" to have development limited on rim's platform? like, shady, seedy business dealings done by greedy corporate w h o r e s? never know
i remember when i skateboarded for a shop in my old city - we rode skateboards, and did good at it, except - the other shop in town - who had more money - kept distributors from supplying our shop with certain brands, so - it is possible there is some kind of crap like that happening, who knows. i don't want to know personally
anyways - EA is pretty big too, they could easily port more games to the platform too - like, what gives?
perhaps all these "developers" are waiting for 2.0? i don't know, whatevz

Thats why I dont understand why RIM gets all this backlash for lack of apps, when Windows phones probably have even less.
Everytime an app is promoted on tv, its either iOS or Android
But, so far Im satisfied. I have all the apps that I need and use all the time.01-22-12 11:28 PMLike 0 - i agree! how can webos (a supposedly *dead* platform) have skype annd not the playbook.
i want NETFLIX ccomon sah ut wih me NETFLIX NETFLIX NETFLIX ...01-23-12 03:07 AMLike 0
