 :laugh:

Of course, the money they are ploughing into it to ensure they pick a safe OS is all wasted. Ill tell em to call you and Jay when i go in tomorrow. Hey you could could send them some links Jay  :lipsrsealed:

The apps being developed in house, its not outsourced. The safest IOS to maintain the app currently is IOS and Mango. The android version is being made with ice cream sandwhich but has had issues as it will not work properly on some other phones.

I have a mortgage, no kids luckily, soon to be fiancée and an S3 all at 25. I have a Job in IT in an investment bank, not a high street bank.
How old are you again?  :grin:

Let's repeat the earlier question, because all you're now able to do is tell us how great you are and how much our lives suck.

Yet you're unable to provide anything to support your arguement about apps being such a great thing.

...you don't understand the security issues.  Explain how iPhone apps handle the security as handled in browsers by the SSL certificate model.

So come on then.

I'd also like to know where jail-broken iPhones stand in this, as their security model is broken, too.

You're not answering any questions, just coming across as a self-satisfied empty vessel.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

You will need a spare one for diamond hell. He owns two houses!! (though on the isle of wight probably so doesnt count as they are so cheap lol)

I dont work with the team developing the app, im friends with a contractor working with them. I discuss things at work with him about the job. He (who is not an iPhone user) has been telling me about the issues they have been facing regarding android and the fact it differs so widely from phone to phone with even the same OS version.

You are sounding like a bitter old man!

So research by security professionals is null and void is it? Riiiight :rolleyes:

All because some f@ck wits can't use an SDK, that's apparently, for an OS that has not been release yet? Riiiiiight :rolleyes:
They obviously are a bit thick, much like yourself. Tell them to look into the Fragment API and Compatibility package releases some time ago for the SDK, it will cover 97% of Android devices without a hitch, f@ck the 3% which are most likely doing to be low end devices and/or Cheap Chinese devices. I'll be happy to school them if they want to pay may daily consultancy rate :afro:


You've had a job in IT for all of 5 minutes that you only got because you know someone, not because you are knowledgeable  and now you know all there is to know about everything in IT? Riiiiiight  :rolleyes:


Now answer some real questions, that you understand, not from what dipsh!t dev has told you about in passing conversation.

I text him. Will have to see if he replies, he can view this without signing in cant he?

I got the IT job by working my arse off, after someone got me in at the bottom, and showing my knowledge was good. I was subsequently promoted and then again to where i am now. Hopefully i will keep going.

Im telling you what is happening, via a company that has a huge sum of money at its disposal, regarding Android. Android fans got angry and defensive.
Whether you think you are right is irrelevant. They have found that, currently, android is not viable to launch the app on. This is due to the security and varying OS. I have not asked about the jailbreak issue with IOS, so im not sure. I know the Windows phone version has been fine so far also.

It is amusing just how riled you both have become, with little effort from myself. Lucky you both have life changing points to put across, otherwise you would seem quite sad......oh wait  :lipsrsealed:

Better that we have a point to put across, rather than you who hasn't answered any questions so far, just crowed about how superior you are.

after someone got me in the bottom

How did you do that? Thats not what i wrote yet it appeared as something else  :undecided:  :rolleyes:

I have answered you to a point. Im not going to tell you things that my company will not want you to know. Not hard for someone to figure out who im talking about etc etc and i like my job more than showing you up unfortunately.

Dont be so hypocritical either, being the older and wiser person you shouldn't have needed to show everyone you have two houses etc  :wink:

No, you haven't at all.  I'm not asking for anything your company 'will not want me to know'.

There is no equivilent to the globally accepted SSL Certificate used in HTTP-land.

This is what is used in ecommerce and banking, either in 128 or 256bit flavour.

What?  You got your enormous job in an investment bank out and started swinging it about, telling the rest of us how inferior we are.  Of course I'm going to tell you to stick it back in your way-too-tight trousers and tell you to wind your proverbial neck back in.

A slap around the cocky chops never hurt anyone and you're no different.
