The UI

Better File System (Doesnt need defragging) Incorrect

The Ease of Use

No Virus worries Incorrect

Spotlight

It basically never crashes Incorrect

And yes Blackberry's BES/BIS are hosted on dedicated, highly encrypted servers, so anyone who pays the £5 a month service will enjoy free unlimited email/BBM and Internet while abroad.

The defragging bit is actually correct. There aren't that many viruses on OSX to be really worrying about it like a PC, but one should stay cautious. And its 2011, hardly any OS crashes now tbh.

j.edgar you always come in to these kinda threads chatting fraff that is usually has no substance and is wrong.

do you own a mac? tell me how i am incorrect.

and tell me how your blackberry is connecting to the dedicated server? do blackberry run their own GSM network these days that i dont know about?

Apple use HFS+ which is the same file system as the Xbox, if Apple machines didn't need defragging can you then explain why there are commercially available defragging products aimed at the machines? The reason I pointed out your post was because you came in with a few assumptions that were not true and I was merely correcting you.

In my earlier post I said Blackberry's are hosted on dedicated, highly encrypted servers, please refer to the picture for a clear understanding

BES_Message_Flow.jpg

Note the little key and padlock next to the Blackberry Enterprise Server.

YOU CANT CORRECT ME WITH WRONG INFO.

1. Because there will always be consumers like you.

Xbox's do not have a HFS+ File system.

The HFS+ System and OSX Defrag it self as larger bytes are wrote to the drive, also the system does not look to fill new free space, so files do not get fragmented in the first place.

2. I dont need pictures to know everything has completely flew over your head. The Diagram even shows you are wrong.

Yes blackberry use thier own server to host BBM and blackberry mail, they wouldn't be able to offer the service otherwise, and yes it is secure... nobody has disputed this.

But what you are not getting is - TO CONNECT TO BLACKBERRYS SERVERS YOU NEED A MOBILE/INTERNET NETWORK CONNECTION, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACKBERRY.

BLACKBERRY DO NOT OPERATE A MOBILE NETWORK.

THEY PROVIDE A SERVICE THAT UTILISES A NETWORK PROVIDED BY A MOBILE OPERATOR .

ffs.

awwdc-620x348.pngWWDC 2014 Predictions: What's Next for iOS, OS X, and the Rest of Apple (Updated)
By Mario Aguilar on  29 May 2014 at  6:00PM

WWDC kicks off Monday June 2nd, and as usual we're expecting exciting things from Apple's annual developer extravaganza. It's almost a given that we'll get a parade of updates to iOS and OS X, but what else do Tim Cook and Co. have planned for the party? Here are our best bets.

 

iOS 8

m75z6v1chmp4c7dac9wx.jpg

Every year at WWDC Apple introduces the latest update to its mobile operating system. Let's just call it iOS 8 because duh.

Last year's iOS 7 flat design was a complete overhaul—the most significant in the platform's six year history—and while we're not expecting quite that level of change in iOS 8, there will definitely be some improvements. The new version will likely hit the mainstream this autumn, probably coinciding with the release of a new iPhone. Here's what we think might be new and exciting.

Healthbook

mfajdrullvjyqlhvkne6.jpg

Tracking every last bit of data about your health and fitness is easier than ever thanks to a million gadgets that have been produced for exactly this purpose. Apple has been noticeably silent on the trend. According to 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman, Apple will be adding a new app called Healthbook, which will serve as a central dashboard for all of this health data.

The new app would function much like Passbook does, except that instead of boarding passes and Bonnie Raitt tickets, you'll see health stats. Each different metric gets its own card, allowing you to track details about everything from your heart rate to nutrition to blood sugar.

Now obviously, this app needs some kind of external gadget that's feeding it information. This not only sets the stage for wider gadget integration for companies that don't necessarily want to build their own apps, but also for integration with the long-rumoured Apple smartwatch. (More on that later.)

Other goodies

Aside from the Healthbook scoop, Gurman has reported that Apple plans to update the horrible Apple Maps app to include transport directions (finally), that iTunes Radiomight get broken out into its own application because people aren't using it enough, and that the iPad might get split-screen multitasking similar to the divided UI feature on Samsung Galaxy Note devices. Oh, and maybe proper TextEdit and Preview apps with iCloud integration.

How many of these improvements and additions make it into the final product remain to be seen, but one thing that's certain is that this year's iOS update won't be anywhere near on the scale as last year's massive overhaul.

 

OS X 10.10

j9hscnnpuvd1h5z9rj7i.jpg

OS X, on the other hand, may see a large-scale aesthetic reboot overseen by Apple design chief Jony Ive. Whereas OS 10.9 Mavericks was mostly about performance bumps like better battery life and improved support for multiple displays, 10.10 will be all about change you can see, finally unifying the look of Apple's mobile and desktop platforms.

The internal Apple codename for the OS is supposedly Syrah, but chances are it'll go with some huge California landmark, possibly Yosemite.

Update: And anonymous poster shared several purported OS X images on Reddit last night:

nrw9so3parrn5xl6tlo4.jpg

As you can see, notable changes include the embracing of a flatter design (particularly noticeable in the dock, but also in app icons) as well as flatter app icons. OS X reportedly will be getting a Control Centre pane for easy access to System Preferences and more.

 

Home automation platform

u2nhtkddaqeduzbkv319.jpg

The Financial Times recently reported that Apple will announce a new software platform that'll allow your iPhone to control everything from your home security system to your thermostat to your lighting.

There's a good chance that you're already using iPhone apps to control some kind of "internet of things" gadget in your home, and it makes sense that Apple would want to make a more unified push in this area, especially following Google's $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest.

As for what the platform might actually look like, that's anyone's guess right now, but figure some kind of standardised method and interface—or at least interface standards—for setting up and controlling all of the increasing number of connected gadgets in our homes.

Update: GigaOm reports that the automation will be primarily focused on voice control and easy Wi-Fi configuration, but there won't be some Apple-controlled software layer that replaces the need for an app.

 

Apple/Beats announcement?

As you've no doubt heard, Apple just acquired Beats and with it, two of the smartest media moguls out there in Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Give how much attention the deal has garnered it wouldn't be surprising to see one or both of the new Apple execs hit the stage at WWDC to make some announcement about Apple's future plans for content. Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson suggests that veteran record label boss Iovine might end up running Apple's content business.

 

Retina MacBook Air

d51egrxoiqpa2kbxiik2.jpg

What, this doesn't exist already? I could have sworn it did. It should! We've heardrumours about a super light 12-inch retina MacBook floating around in Apple's pipeline. While the jury's out on whether that specific device will show up, at the very least the MBA is long overdue for a better display.

WWDC tends not to be a hardware-heavy event, and this would add a nice physical touch to to Apple's developer party. Then again, Apple just give the Air's processor a bump to the latest Intel chipset, so maybe it's too soon for another update.

 

Cheaper iMac/iPhone 5S

llemc65bettfsrs4nlat.jpg

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a frequent source of rumours that are sometimes true and sometimes not, so do with that what you will, suggests that we might get a cheaper iMac or possibly a cheaper 8GB iPhone 5S. Kuo has been spreading this rumourabout the iMac for a while in fact. Will it finally come true? Probably not.

 

Apple TV

h6glsh98u0avfibbtjnz.jpg

Compared to other set-top-boxes, the Apple TV has suddenly started to feel distinctly limited, and we've been expecting it to get a refresh for years.

Apple almost certainly has something in the works for Apple TV. Back in January, the streaming media box graduated from Apple's accessories (aka "hobby") category to afull product line, which is a subtle but significant shift in the company's thinking about the product. A more fully featured box with games and apps is widely rumoured. Earlier this year, Bloomberg said we would see the new Apple TV imminently, perhaps as early as April. That didn't happen, and Re/code reports that whatever the upcoming refresh is, we won't see it at WWDC. Mark this one down as in the works, but maybe not ready for primetime just quite yet.

 

iWatch

jp85tbx2xjpv2nmfv7zf.png

iWatch rumours are older than creation, even though there has never been a shred of real evidence behind them. Has Apple been working on a watch? Of course! But Apple works on lots of things, all the time, as do all companies. That doesn't mean they ever get released, or stick to any sort of timetable projections.

Given the recent craze for smartwatches, though, there's definitely mounting pressure for the company to deliver something wrist-centric. Apple has made several hires in medical sensor tech that seem to indicate it's serious about the project. But we haven't seen any reliable intel or hardware leaks suggesting that the iWatch might drop anytime soon.

What do You Think of Apple's WWDC 2014 Showing?

 

Translucent windows. A new programming language. Apps that talk to one another. A half dozen new services that end in "Kit." Here's everything Apple showed off at WWDC -- what do you make of it all?

What are Apple's Continuity and Handoff Features?

The iOS and OS X ecosystems may not be merging, but they're certainly better friends than before, with Apple's "Continuity" resulting in iDevices being able to finish off where the other left off, plus answer SMS and calls. Read More >

 

Third-party keyboards, such as Swype and Swiftkey, are coming to iOS 8

iOS 8: Everything You Need to Know

It's a year since Apple unveiled a flatter look for iOS 7 but beyond that, and a more efficient manner of multitasking and the addition of Control Centre, it was much the same as we've seen for years. Apple's iOS 8 changes that, launching in the Autumn.Read More >

 

Siri is getting Shazam song recognition

iOS is Now Getting a Smarter Keyboard

One of our biggest frustrations with iOS devices has been the less-than-stellar stock keyboard. iOS 8 fixes that with Quicktype, a predictive, content-sensitive keyboard that learns the phrases you use most and fills them in. It's about ducking time. Read More >

iOS 8 apps will be able to work together

iOS Health: All the Important Data About Your Body in One Place

Apple just pulled back the curtain on a new native app called HealthKit at WWDC. Yes, this is the same health tracking app we heard about a few months ago.

Apple's New Photos App for iOS Allows for Cross-Device Editing

HomeKit: Apple's Vision for Home Automation

Apple's just announced another quite-big deal: HomeKit, the Apple platform for home automation. Although there weren't many details, it looks like Apple will be supplying both a software layer for the devices, and a hub for all your thermostats and lights and what-not on iOS 8. Read More >

 

SwiftKey is already building its iOS 8 keyboard

 

TaylorSwift-face-620x3491.jpg

Swift is Apple's All-New Programming Language

Not content with revamping its iOS and OS X operating systems, Apple has introduced an all-new language for writing applications called Swift. It sees the Cupertino company ticking many boxes off the feature list that third-party developers have longed for. You could say it's been "Taylored" specifically for developers. Read More >

The Future of Apple Design is Hidden Inside OS X Yosemite

Today at WWDC, Apple gave OS X a design overhaul that's just as huge as its namesake. Yosemite is bright, sharp, and flat as hell. But while OS X now looks more like iOS, iOS and OS X are also more alike than ever. Apple is finally--finally--establishing a consistent design language across its platforms. Read More >

Sorry, But Your Old iPhone 4 Just Became Obsolete

At Monday's WWDC keynote, Apple announced a flurry of fun new features. With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, your Mac and iPhone are closer than ever, opening the door to the Future of Computing. Too bad iPhone 4 users won't get to enjoy any of it--and neither will anyone with an even older phone. Read More >

Where Apple 'Got Inspiration' for 7 of Its Big WWDC Ideas

This year's WWDC was arguably the most action-packed ever, with new feature following new feature until we were all left shell-shocked and reaching for the Nurofen. It has to be said, though, that not all of Apple's new announcements were exactly novel. In fact, some are point-black rip-offs. Read More >
