iphone bluetooth grumble

[v-600]

I discovered today that you can't bluetooth a photo to an iphone. What a bloody ridiculous idea.

I guess 70ish million people in 3 months don't mind, but I think its still a stupid decision that's been annoying me all day far more than it should. Rarg.

iPhone to iPhone we don't care since we just airdrop pictures to each other.

That doesn't bother me anywhere near as much.

Much like airplay or icloud or any number of others, if apple design/invent/create a proprietary protocol they want to make sure it works well with their devices and not others.

What's been bugging me all day is that they took what is basically an open standard and intentionally made it worse, to the detriment of their users.

You know the bit that's still annoying me more than the rest is that its upset me more than my friend with the iphone. I am vicariously annoyed. Just had to get that off my chest.
