MacWorld Mobile at Mobile World with Mac? Say that back-to-back 5 times…
How much do these CEO’s make for a speech?
wow, they actually acknowledged the fact that iOS was built on the same foundation as… Mac OS X.
we know the halo effect was in place… but now the halo affect @ Mobile World Conference?
This probably is smoke-and-mirrors bull. TReportedly, the GSMA also is preparing to launch an App Store that all the other manufacturers could use to compete against Apple. More copycat behavior from wannabe’ manufacturers.
I think this may be nothing more than a transparent attempt to lure Apple Developers to the conference and generate interest in the other “me too” platforms.

“Back to back” is a bloody stupid American invention that doesn’t even make sense. “Back to front” would be more like it. But “consecutive” is the word you’re looking for. Australians have an aversion to polysyllabic words, on the shaky premise that using them makes the speaker sound narcissistic and pompous. Seems Americans are inclined to follow suit.
@grh
Yes Australians, have no silly slang, phrases, words, sayings etc.
The retained perfect Queen’s English all through their penal colony days.
Geez get a grip…
800 operators except for Verizon and their shitty CDMA. How can they be so stoopid to isolate themselves.
