Re: Blot wear
Whether bloatware or blotware I am happy to see folks posting solutions like hiding the apps and killing the updates. I have Verizon and have been using my iPhone 4 since I bought it new...when it was the current Apple iPhone! Just never saw any reasons to get a 4S or a 5 of a 5S and plenty of reasons to leave them in my rear view and was not ready to be a Note early or even midlife adopter. So having been in Apple prison for a while, I am likely to be looking for ways to hack away at the overage without necessarily killing it for all time until I learn more about what they are as individual apps. That said, I don't want to bog down the N4 with all this nonsense assuming a bunch of it is truly nonsense.
Funny how products are really not designed for the US market any longer....the surest sign that we no longer rule the world if we ever did. We actually prefer devices that address the things we do the most....puts them front and center and drops everything else to the background...it took forever for companies like Sony to stop giving us TV remotes with every tom, **** and harry thing you could do for and to your TV directly from a discreet button and then when they ran out of discreet button space, instead of understanding what functions we really wanted to address from a remote THEN they started to layer multiple functions into the buttons with almost no regard for what was layered and what was top leve! When companies like Procon gave us on/off....volume up/down and channel up/down it was a revelation or a revolution....oh who cares.
Anyway...thanks
