Will competing products edge the ipad out of the market place because apples refusal to provide access to the Bluetooth stack?
Blue tooth functionality is becoming more and more popular…
Apple may be on the edge of serious competition for its ipad product.
Update, guess what, there are so many pads on the market that the value of the pad, has gone way down hill yet, still Apple has not adjusted to this new market.
android…
When will they learn that the market is not the same as it was back in 1999…
Will apple, change its ways or will they continue to disrupt access to hardware that is not owned by them?
What they are doing, is something that is a real problem, allegedly Apple is attempting to apply the same restrictions they apply to software, which is ok I guess, but with hardware, you the consumer are the owner, now Apple, eventually there has to be a stop to this garbage.
Apple allegedly blocks access to the bluetooth stack preventing use by disabled individuals.
For many disabled individuals who are hearing impaired as well as disabled in other ways, the ability to use a bluetooth connected device on the ipad would greatly improve the lives of those individuals, however, allegedly Apple does not allow connections to certain devices that would create a great deal of happiness in the lives of many people who are disabled.
For many disabled people the ability to use speech to text software would be of a tremendous value to them however allegedly apple is not allowing them to connect these devices to the ipad even though the capability allegedly is there already.
Additionally the use of a microphone/headset capable of enhancing hearing is also something to consider.
For many people the idea that they cannot use the hardware that they buy to do the things they want to do is just not a very nice thing to do, we hope that Apple will see the light on this issue and do the right thing.
