1300804	2012-09-15 05:38:00	From what I have heard Nokia has the best phone camera on one of their models but who really cares until they can perform as well as a DSLR. The PureView on the Nokia looks amazing www.theverge.com 4251	Geek4414 (12000)
1300805	2012-09-15 05:58:00	NFC is a lot more prevalent in other countries. LG + 2degrees use of NFC payments if advertised as the first NZ NFC payment app in NZ (and as far as I know it really IS the first commercial NFC use in NZ) Other than that there is almost ZERO use for it. in china I could use my dad's friends NFC enabled S2 (i9100G) to pay for all the buses, subways etc as well as open the gates and lobby doors to out appartment. NFC was used as basic level auth to get into the offices of his workplace (followed by PIN for secure areas). There were a whole tonne of other things to do with it as well like in some shops you could scan and make orders via NFC. Your device would be recognized based on UID and if you went back your purchases were saved for faster checkout and you got discounts. It's just NZ has very little implementation. I believe we can read our EPassports + snapper but that's about it. Would be certainly useful though. If I end up in Uni as Massey in wellington i'll probably get the next Nexus or maybe WP... what ever is nice with NFC to make it easier to grab a bus or buy a snack at one of wellingtons rip off snack shacks :p People are still getting hyped about QR codes here. It's faster to type m.metlink.com into your browser than open QRDroid, scan and click the link :p but hey this country is slow on the uptake. EDIT: In response to dave, although I think steve was holding apple back a little with his design ideas and controlling nature I do think he was also holding apple together. This next gen is a MASSIVE departure from what they had before. So it might end in tears for the apple crew. Or a raging success! Re Plod, passbook isn't compatible with NZ ticketing and booking systems as far as I know and a lot of content is restricted to US/UK One thing I REALLY hate is the way the bloody iPhone launch was on prime time news.... really who give a flying f... it's a phone! Do we need details on the news? Was the Raspberry Pi on the news here? in fact were ANY tech items in prime news lately? Tomorrow I want to see a 10 min review on ATi's nekk gen of SLi cards on TV1.Just had a read on 2 degrees website regarding snapper and NFC, not only is it carrier specific (2degrees) it's also phone specific. Having a NFC enabled phone on 2 degrees does not guarantee you will be able to use it.	plod (107)
