Phone App: Android Beta Version introduced!

[jkirkebo]

Wow. That's dedication, impressive. Are you running iOS 5? I don't know the specs but that will probably be the cutoff.

I'm running iOS 6.0.1. Apple still supports the 3GS and I see no reason to get a new one as long as it works perfectly fine. Also I prefer the rounded back of the 3GS to the square 4/4S/5. It is more comfortable to hold and to keep in the pocket of my pants.

By not using money for stuff like new cellphones when not needed I can buy the P85 instead My laptop is >5 years old (Lenovo X61s upgraded with a 120GB SSD) and the desktop is probably 7-8 years old now...

I agree. Old 3G was most comfortable to hold. Wish I had your self-restraint when it comes to upgrading or not upgrading consumer electronics. You'll be fine then with the app I bet.

I used the original iPhone until the iPhone4 came out. At that point the original wasn't able to really run some of the programs I use because it was just too slow. There is no need to upgrade a device until it no longer does what you want it to do or there is some really needed functionality that your current device doesn't have.

Yeah, I follow my rule of not upgrading before I have to, but then getting the very best (which I can afford since I didn't upgrade 3 times in between). So when I needed a new TV, I went for the Sony 65HX920
And by getting top spec gear it lasts longer too. I hate the trend of buying cheap stuff you throw away every year or so Quality lasts is my motto. And it fits very nicely with the Model S too

Totally agree. If you spend $20 on a toaster you'll have to replace it once a year. Last time I needed a toaster I scoured the city for the most expensive, lowest tech, simple two-slice toaster I could find. I bought a $100 toaster that was built like a truck, and it's still going strong after 9 years. I figure I'm already up $80, and it makes great toast!

+1 When purchasing oats, you go to the feed store and pay for quality oats. However, you can get the oats much cheaper after they've been through the horse.

You, sir are a horrible person. Now I will not be able to sleep because I will be continually refreshing the iphone app store.

 

[Zas]

will do.. but the screen shots are on the app page as well - Tesla Model S Beta - Android Apps on Google Play

i dont see a pre-heating battery option - but you can do climate control.. just not sure if that will heat the battery pack as well.

Honestly, i just searched Tesla by chance, saw nothing.. then did a search for Tesla Model S - and it popped up !!.. not sure if my timing was the 'exact' moment of the release or not, but I had a nice shock ..

i am sure the iPhone app will be released shortly !!

I really hope they eventually allow remote activation of windshield defrosters (front and back), for those of us who often walk up to cars covered with snow!

Good news though.
