seriouspost: is it an apple or apple compatible 2A charger? some non-apple phones don't detect the crazy resistor network stuff on the data pins that apple uses to signal to their phones/pads how much the charger can supply and default to 500mA like it were some POS USB port.

and yet they will happily pull 2A from some $0.90 knockoff mini-fire hazard AC adapter because android

actually nexuses (well at least the phones) are quite particular about both the charger and cable used. given i know personally two people whove managed to catch their nexuses on fire using chinese el cheapo chargers id say its for the best

well one nice thing about android being for spergs is that there are a nice number of apps for detailed tracking of random phone functions.



the downside is I had to download and use that because the drat phone kept overheating when i used it for nav on my car dash and i needed soemthing with a programmable temperature alarm function.

they're clearly hurting since they gave mobile access to free users and their student subscriptions are now half price

or at least they get more income from the above mentioned non-subscriber sources

Hey, guess what. That's completely loving irrelevant at this very second because that sonofabitch lost features instead of gaining anything really meaningful to my photo taking experience. Improving the user experience shouldn't involve taking three steps backwards before adding back in features piecemeal to bring it to the previous standard.

I take a ton of pictures with my phone so as you can imagine I find this particularly offensive as it's not only bad developer strategy, but bad for the consumer as well. Now if they manage to roll all that stuff out over the next week, then great. But that begs the question: why not include it in the first place if it's 95% of the way there? Just push back release a week or three and give the end user a complete product which doesn't make them want to stab the developer in the throat.

that they don't turn a profit and have no realistic way of doing so because 75% of their revenue goes right to record labels?

they are desperately hoping those people will love the service so much to switch to paid because they don't have enough paying customers.
