Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Kirth, you have a lot of problems with the iPhone. The only reason I jailbreaked it for was for number 11. I jailbreaked so I could have a DVORAK keyboard layout.

Does anyone with IOS7 know if that's solved?

oh and if you setup a gmail account the contacts are synced.

So rumour has it that iOS7 will allow you (eventually) to have 3rd party keyboards. I think that's probably due to the success of Swype and Swiftkey on Android.

My Google accounts / gmail / calendar are all set up however you cannot get contact GROUPS sync'd over via CardDAV. You can do it using Exchange as the sync method for Google, but only if you are a Google apps user (I'm not). It's a limitation of CardDAV, so I thought fine, I'll create groups on the phone. Oh wait, what's that ? I have to use iCloud and do it there ? WTF?

I think I really need to write an opinion piece on iOS and Android. Neither are perfect. MIUI was the closest I found to making a nice merge of the two OSes.
