Apple has decided to step in to the battle between AT&T and Verizon Wireless in the US with two new TV advertisements highlighting one of the few advantages of AT&T's network over Verizon's: the ability to run voice and data connections simultaneously. The first ad, titled "Did You See My Email?", shows the user using an iPhone to open an email from a client while still talking to them on the phone, shown after the break.


The second ad, titled "What Time's The Movie?", shows the iPhone being used to check the time of a movie online while continuing a conversation with a friend simultaneously, shown below.

You do know that 3G is Data and has nothing to do with Voice Coverage, right?

What about when you make a really intelligent comment which shows how your network actually can do the thing you were asked about? Oh, never mind, we already answered that one...hello...hello...any more stupid comments...are you still there?

Poor Americans...

...this qualifies as a feature?

I'm always amazed when Americans criticise the rest of the world (it's happened here before; defending Australia against some nonsense is the reason I created my account) for their various stages of technological advance, then the rest of the world discovers that, in many respects, we're miles ahead.

How odd.

Poor...whoever it is...

How odd, someone, from somewhere, writes about something...and barely anyone understands what he's (or she) saying, for the love of it. Ah, those...worldly critics (or whoever it was, from wherever) and their wise thoughts. Miles ahead of literacy and logic. I guess that's why those...people...live in...wait for it...Australia.

of course,
