When I see videos like these with a lot of lag I don't consider it to be running the OS well. It's bearable at best, which is always a matter of opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ0abA1fksE www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovUMS3f-QLw

I have the same phone and I do not experience anywhere close to that amount of lag.

Same here and the phone runs great.

> It seeks to protect users (and their children) from malware, pornography and offence (and protect Apple from bad publicity and legal action by selling such things to its users). Do people really still buy this line? If they're trying to protect users and their children from "malware, pornography and offence," shouldn't they be blocking those things in the iPhone web browser as well? And what about on the Mac? All t…

Do people really still buy this line? What line? Why else would they do it? The control that they over the iOS platform has provided the first truly safe computing environment. This is, in my opinion, more important to its long-term success than the innovative user interface. This is the part that other companies have so-far failed to copy. Apple don't seek control for it's own sake—it's a lot of work and very expens…

How does the App Store banning a magazine for Android users fit into your view of how the App Store operates?

I'm using a G1 and the latest Android, and it has fine performance... It supports the latest apps and still does everything it did on release day.

even if it has lag. you have the option.

do you rather wait 2seg for an feature to finish executing or not have the feature at all? (as it would be if you had bought an iphone 3G instead of the G1 at the time)

I was lucky and bought it right when I saw this post. I think is thought provoking and yes, controversial. I shared it with my 11 year old daughter and we had a conversation about life cycle of our electronics. I say anything that gets people to talk about issues is good. But censorship - a la app store- is not good. Hope they put it on Cydia at least.

I'm not surprised that this got through as it is more likely to offend Apple than a user. Apple's control of the App Store is not without good reason. It seeks to protect users (and their children) from malware, pornography and offence (and protect Apple from bad publicity and legal action by selling such things to its users). While an overzealous employee might take it onto themselves to try to protect Apple from cr…

Well Apple has now removed the app from the store. What's the good reason for that you'd like to share with us?

When linking to pages in the iTunes store, please, link to pages that work for people who don't have iTunes. Such pages exist; see, for instance, the pages reachable from http://itunes.apple.com/us/browse .

The links have been removed by Apple. You can see the screenshots and app description here though.
