Bought a new SD card for my camera, as the one I was using was taking about 2 seconds to have one file written to it!

Also replaced my external hard drive, as the 320GB one I was using to back up my PC stopped working. Quickly realised it was because it was full up, not broked!

Bought some 200Mb Netgear homeplugs while I was in the shop, too, as my upstairs PC was being a bit flakey connecting to the web over wiffy and kept telling no connection. I then found out that the ethernet socket on the PC didn't work. Turned out the drivers had never been installed. Found a great program that goes through your whole computer and then downloads all the latest ones, as well as all the ones that are missing...

Why didn't you get a good phone?

I'm really starting to be anti-Apple. None of the stuff I have works properly. My iPad is the most reliable thing, but that's probably because I've not updated it and it's still running iOS 5.1.1!

Stupidly signed up to iTunes Match the other week, what a ****ing pile o' shyte!

I've had the iPhone 5 and iPad 4 for a while now and love both... everything just works, before that I had a Sony XPERIA X10 and that was slow and clunky in comparison, I know things have moved on, but it's the first time I haven't felt the need to upgrade.

I've been using it since it launched and find it to be great. Can have all my music (about 11gb) on my phone taking up very little space.

Plus I do the same on my iPad and Apple TV and wherever I purchase a song it's automatically on the others. Plus i now have 256kbps quality music for all my songs/albums rather than the 128kbps they were before. At no extra charge or space (on my iPad iPhone or ATV)

Each to there own and all that though.

I have 60gb of music in iTunes Match. Wouldn't be without it now.

Except Google Play allows the same and is free. But doesn't work natively with my Apple tech anywhere near as well.
