[Electronics-talk] aps for IOS device

Mon Apr 8 17:48:10 UTC 2013

You will need iTunes if you want to back up your content on your I
device to a PC. You can do this with iCloud, but if you have a lot of
content it will cost you.

I view iTunes as a necessary evil.  I deal with the app Store from my
iPhone.  I only deal with iTunes on the PC when I absolutely have to.

Hi,
The app store is very easy for me to use on the phone, so it's my
preferred way of buying apps. I see no reason whatsoever to use iTunes
to buy apps for my phone. Despite what others might say about how well
they get along with iTunes, I think its interface is cumbersome and
unwieldy at best,  a monumental pain in the butt to use.  With the
exception of rare occasions when I add new music to my phone, I avoid it
like the plague. My discussions with people about iTunes almost always
degenerate into obscenity-laden rants, so I'd best get out of here
before that happens.

Tom
