Roomba Review
The experts start by discussing the latest features of the Roomba vacuum cleaner, including its ability to climb over inclines and schedule cleanings. While the Roomba is effective at cleaning cat hair and dirt, its high price tag of $700 makes it out of reach for many consumers. Still, the experts agree that the new Roomba is an improvement over previous models and is a worthwhile investment for those who can afford it.
App Store Drama
The discussion turns to the recent App Store drama affecting over 100 apps, which immediately crash upon opening for users who updated them earlier this week. The issue is related to DRM and affects apps that are downloaded from the App Store, but not through iTunes. The experts note that while Apple is working on a fix, it has caused a major inconvenience for users and developers alike. The panel also discusses the recent appearance of malware on the App Store, which uploaded users’ address book information and spammed their contacts.
Nokia 808 PureView Smartphone Camera Review
The final segment of the discussion centers on the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone, which has a 41-megapixel camera with PureView technology. While the camera is impressive, the outdated Symbian operating system is frustrating to use as a phone. The experts note that the camera would be much better on a phone with a more modern operating system, but the Nokia 808 is still a good choice for those who primarily use their phone as a camera.
Conclusion
The latest developments in the technology industry offer both excitement and frustration for consumers. The Roomba vacuum cleaner has new features that make it more effective, but its high price may deter some buyers. The App Store drama and malware issues have caused a major inconvenience for users and developers, and Apple is working to fix the issue. The Nokia 808 PureView smartphone has a remarkable camera, but its outdated Symbian operating system makes it frustrating to use as a phone. Overall, it’s clear that technology is constantly evolving, and consumers must choose products that suit their individual needs and budgets.
