LancsVillan Posted August 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2010 Doh - vids were sorted by someone all I had to do was go back!! Podcasts I still cannot see, bet it's obvious too. Even tried search iPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 22, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2010 Dunno if I'm being too obvious here, but this is where you find podcasts on the ipod: Go to ipod. At the bottom in the black footer there should be a list of things PLaylists, Artists, Songs, Videos and More. If you click "More", you'll get a list on the screen, Podcasts should be at the bottom. If your podcasts aren't there then you haven't synched them right I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Worrying how? From the viewpoint of an Android user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 You don't think it's worrying that they are possibly planning to remote kill iPhone's that are jailbroken, despite jailbreaking an iPhone being perfectly legal? What on earth has this got to do with Android? You need to stop thinking that everything I post somehow has to do with bloody Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Jailbreaking is perfectly legal, but so is nuking the IMEI number of a phone which has been jailbroken. It sucks, but it's fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If they actually do this, if Apple follow through with this plan, then it's going too far. It really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2010 Jailbeaking is legal, but isn't it effectively getting free apps that un jailbroken phones have to pay for? If so that's losingapple, andthe app developers money. I don't blame them at all for trying to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 But you can make apps so that they check online to see if the app is legit. You can download apps for android and install them yourself without paying but there's no point in it really, google are also bringing in the check the registry for apps. I just think that apple being able to kill your phone remotely is plain wrong and hope it's illegal in europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted August 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2010 Killing the phone remotely would almost certainly be a breach of the Computer Misuse Act. You have purchased the phone and it is your property. You may use it in any manner you see fit (unless that use is illegal). Apple would be on very dangerous ground to follow this path in the UK or even on a phone that happens to be in the UK at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah I was thinking that the EU would not allow such a thing to happen in europe. But the fact apple are thinking of such a thing is worrying. They are so obsessed with controlling, will it ever stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Killing the phone remotely would almost certainly be a breach of the Computer Misuse Act.

Apple would be on very dangerous ground to follow this path in the UK or even on a phone that happens to be in the UK at the time. It'd entirely depend on the method of killing and any terms you agreed to with the phone surely? I mean if your use of the phone on a mobile network or access to the app store and app store apps was reliant on you accepting not to modify the phone in any way then surely it'd be perfectly legal for them to wipe the imei number and block access to any app store apps on the device? Afterall you've bought the hardware, but your use of the software on it is still reliant on acceptance of the user agreements, if you breach them then it's perfectly legal for them to withdraw your use of the software.

limpid Posted August 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2010 Most EULAs would not stand up in court. In the UK you would be protected from such nonsense by the Unfair Contract Terms Act. You cannot sign away statutory rights in UK law. A purchaser could also make a case under the Sale and Supply of Goods and Services Act in that if you bought a phone and the manufacturer has now stopped your phone from functioning as a phone then it contains a defect by allowing such an action. You cannot separate parts of the whole; it is not a phone without the software. (If you don't pay for the software then there is no contract formed anyway). You would be entitled to a refund from the retailer. I can't see O2 / Orange / CPW etc liking that option very much. They would have to defend every case separately via the small claims procedure. Also under UK law, you enter into a contract with the merchant of the credit card on which you made your purchase. They would also be jointly liable with the retailer for the defective device.

Can you please try and think about something else and keep this thread on topic? As an Apple user I think that Steve Jobs is in danger of killing the iphone - no doubt about it. In 12 months time the Android market will be an awful lot closer to the App store in terms of quality and quantity and then it will be purely down to what the handset can do. The remote kill is anon starter - can just see the lawsuits flying in in the USA. Jobs would never risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 They will happily put stories out there to scare people away from jailbreaking though. And yes, you are right that they are unlikely to start killing their customers phones, especially when the people they do block will probably just go to Android and never come back.

CVByrne Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 But there is no doubt they are working hard to counteract the jail breaking of their phones, so expect the next iphone to have something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 31, 2010 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2010 iPhone's already have a remote kill. If I let you connect to one of my calendars from an iphone or ipad, I can perform a factory reset on your device. And yes, I have tested it.
