Geek Smack: Why I Bought an iPhone 5
If you’ve been following my feed, you know I got a new phone 2 months ago in a Nokia Lumina 900. I don’t dislike the phone – I just am missing the functionality of the iPhone. Right now Windows 7 phones are pretty much on hold for a developer for Windows 8. With this new OS, a couple more lines of code will allow them to create a mobile version of their program.At that time, it might be something to look at.
Right now, I miss the iPhone. The new iPhone has a processor that will let you do a lot more. Dual core at almost 2 GHz (because Tim Cook said it will double the speed of the 4S) means I can use this for video. I can also get some powerful apps on the phone if I need it. One concern I have is the head issues. The iPad retina display gets hot and I expect this iPhone to do the same thing. Hopefully I am wrong. I get the iPhone on Friday.
I cannot wait to see what it has to offer.
