No, it's not waterproof. It's a portable NFC speaker, rather expensive, but a blinding little creaature. I'm gonna get some NFC tags, and NFC-up me lifestylee.Originally Posted by socal
Socal you have the gayest phone on TD. I was waiting to see if some sucker was going to pick up this piece of shit.
Should have known it would be you!
Taginfo is an NFC android app which can allow you to read cards with embedded NFC - some public transport and credit cardsOriginally Posted by Bettyboo
the is a forum out there somewhere , german based I think , which gives info about surgically inserting nfc tags into your hands
Betty would need one of those NFC chips implanted up his ringer and the receiver in Ahmed or Mo's dongle
I don't wanna go that far with my NFC technology! Maybe a tag at home, so that my laptop, speaker, screen adapt as I walk in; maybe one at work for the same reason; maybe one in the car to set up the hands free, map, etc.
So does Emma, but it's still gay...Originally Posted by socal
I wasn't particularly a BB hater, we had a few hundred of them when they were useful.
But now they're shit and gay, so we're giving them back and getting better ones.
There are still a few people who hang on to Bilgeberry but they are mostly spotty teenagers who like the free messaging and are too dumb to realise you can do that on pretty well any phone, or people like yourself that are gayer than Liberace's poodle.
About 4 years ago, all the girls at Thai unis had a Blackberry. Then, Line and Whatsapp came along and everyone got an iPhone. Then, Apple stopped innovating and the S2, S3 and Note took over. Now, the HTC One and Sony are battling with the S4 for their affections.
1) Socal is about 4 years behind Thai uni girls.
2) Socal will never be 4 inches inside a Thai uni girl with a Blackberry in hand...
Here's another picture:

Blackberries have silly keyboard things on them; BB are trying to look more like other smartphones, not the other way around...
Thais love Line. I use it everyday meself.
My dick is rather chiselled, thank you.
Ha Ha Ha: IOS On DOD Networks? Uh, Kind Of (Department of defense)
Remember how people said that BlackBerry was "cooked" when the DOD said they were going to likely approve Apple products -- and then did -- for use on their networks?
There's a wee problem -- the conditions associated with that approval.
From BerryReview:The last point is one of the most interesting. To be able to use an iOS device or Android device on the DoD network it must be hooked up to an MDM. Currently the only approved MDM is BlackBerry Enterprise Service.
- No Safari browser (you have to use a containerized browser that will have far fewer features)
- No iMessage
- No iTunes
- No App Store (as in only apps the DoD allows on your device through their own App Store)
- Containerized segregated email client
- No Wi-Fi access on DoD Wi-Fi networks though you can use it at home or publicly
- Must be connected to a MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution
So if you want an actual device on a DOD network that you can use for actual things beyond access to your DOD stuff there is only one choice of manufacturer that ships now and works: The BlackBerry Z-10 and Q-10 devices.
If you really want an iPhone you must use it connected to the BES (BlackBerry's!) management service and you cannot load general-purpose apps nor can you use Apple's messenger client or full-featured browser and email system. Not only that you can't run it on DOD WiFi networks at all.
The WiFi restriction is interesting; this implies that DOD is unhappy with something in their VPN capability. It may be that the DOD wants IPSEC/IKEv2 for security reasons and IOS doesn't offer it -- not sure. Whatever it is, it's not good enough from their point of view.
But more to the point from a user perspective without the ability to run consumer apps and the browser along with the IOS email and messaging systems the entire reason to have such a device disappears! Those capabilities are, basically, why people want the iPhone and iPAD in the first place.
In the meantime DOD approval for BB10 devices (Z-10 and Q-10 at present) mandated Balance (BlackBerry's dual-partition system for separating personal and work spaces) under the approved MDM (BES) but placed no other restrictions on the configuration. Thus you can have your personal email, music and apps on the device unrestricted, and in addition it appears that you don't even have to secure the personal partition if you don't want to (although you probably should since you probably care about your personal data as well as your work stuff.)
How about Knox, Samsung's "answer"? It seems to be delayed and thus exactly how (or if) it compares against the Z-10 in the real world and from an actual approval point of view is an unknown at the present time.
I have to chuckle at those who thought the DOD was "leveling" the playing field.
In point of fact what DOD did was "allow" IOS devices on their networks if you first rip out their heart and brains, leaving a shell that happens to look like an iPhone in your hand, as they apparently found that IOS simply did not, in the real world, "make the grade" as-shipped.
Score one gigantic win for the Z-10 and BlackBerry.
Yes, well we all know how that worked out, don't we?
The Washington Post got the ball rolling with a story carrying the headline "Confidential report lists U.S. weapons system designs compromised by Chinese cyberspies."
