hh5 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I have read about iOS \ iPad jailbroken term To jailbreak, or not to jailbreak, that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the loss and outrage of denied apps, or to take up arms against the app store dictators by opposing them." http://ipad.about.com/od/iPad-FAQ/ss/Jailbreaking-101_2.htm I think the moral is ... Only if you can afford it Some where I read ... instability at multi-tasking and being open up to security attacks We will see if Android 4.2 falls prey to attacks or not? discounting the argument that Android is unsafe compared to an iPad (apps n internet) Edited March 20, 2013 by hh5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Taylor Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm curious, do you use any Apple products? You sure mention them a lot several of the topics but I can't recall what you said you use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hh5 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) lol, actually I would prefer Win8 ... Android is usable ... apple is expensive but GPS may not always be available in Win8 tabs if I get the 8 ... it may mean I won't get a 10 in terms of programming ... i found out html5 does work so well on all three ... perhaps no one has fully implemented it companies are programming natively or using another environment that allows for managing one app for the three type of tablets I have a feeling you may be waiting a while for those wars to reach some sort of conclusion A lot of people seem to love the Note, and you appear to be more Android-orientated, so it sounds like could be a good choice.

Scary thought, yes? Half the internet is running on 'specs' that aren't even finalized yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh5 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 lol, typo miss the NOT, lol gosh it seems for now they abandon html5 ... so every one has to write apps if it was one day to be fully implemented ... would it be an alternative to writing native apps?

(couple of years) Yes. And No. Even if HTML 5 was fully, 100% implimented, native code is always faster, and has fewer security loopholes. Plus Javascript is just a pain to work with on a serious project, even with JQuery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
