iPhone 5

[Wazzzer]

IMO Android phones tend to be easier to customise out of the box without the need to hack them. Not to say the iPhone is sh!t, it's just my personal preference before anyone jumps on me

I'll be interested to see what will be about next year when my upgrade comes about, quad core phones anyone?

Quad core phones will be out by the end of the year apparently, or early next year (who knows maybe that's the delay for the IP5?) so this time next year we'll be waiting for  octo-cores 




*Octo-cores and higher ARE already available, just not in phones yet, same as quads.

I'm waiting on these quad core phones to come out should be good ?

Last i checked angry birds doesnt need quad core. Why would you need that much? Battery life will be awful and the phone will be bordering on a tablet in size.

Really? I see lots of top banks on the Market

https://market.android.com/search?q=bank&c=apps&start=0&num=24

It's only the UK banks who have not really got on yet, very much doubt it's the fact that if you publish an App it appears within a short period of time instead of waiting weeks or months to get approved.

Chances are they wont develop an app as they are not happy about the security flaws in android. Not sure about you but i do most of my banking with english banks

The quad cores they've said they're putting in phones will be lower power than the dual core, that's why they haven't put the already available quad and octo cores in phones yet, they're  getting the power consumption down

If it's good enough for banks all over the world, it's good enough for UK banks. What security flaws would you be talking about exactly? Name some please, I'd be interested to know what they are and how that would stop UK banks from having Apps for Android.

Personally I wouldn't do banking on my phone or tablet anyway, no matter what OS it was running. I check my account once every 2 weeks at the most and I've always said having a banking app on ANY mobile OS is a rather stupid idea, exploits exist in ALL mobile OS's - sh!t look at how holy iOS is...

[JulesS3]

look at the key security company websites at their reports on Android, each release exploses another flaw (Gingerbread exposed a keylogging flaw that was sinple to exploit) this coupled with an totally open and uncontrolled marketplace just makes it a minefield

Also one big issue is that each manufacturer adds their own spin to each release and on top of that each carrier adds their own personal requirements... so when you say I have Android 2.3.4 on a Samsung device from Orange.. this wont be the same as 2.3.4 on an HTC from Vodafone - each version will use a different kernal and other aspects will be different - let me give another example, the native email client and PIM services on a 2.3.3 Galaxy tab from Vodafone UK wont connect to ActiveSync 2010 (there is a know bug with SSL) but take the same tab from AT&T in the US and it will work fine...

This is where is have to concede Apple have the upper hand.. complete control over OS and HW means that 4.2 from one carrier = 4.2 from anther carrier globally no discussion

This complete inconsistancy is the reason why banks will stay away from Android for sometime yet.. there are too many unknowns
