[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 77884, member: 25"][I]The goal of the app is to get the conversation off the antiquated forums and into an easy to use app that everyone will enjoy.[/I] As an antiquated forum user myself, I can't say I know how to use any kind of application for a mobile phone, I do have one but it only makes phone calls and only 1 person has my phone number. I do not dispute your comments about the latest cameras, but the problem is that the users are generally rubbish. More pixels is not a solution, this just means you get bigger dark blurry pictures. [I]Users will have the option to vote as to how much they think its worth.[/I] This seems about as much use as voting what sex the class hamster is. Where and when something is is as important as what it is in many cases. The Chinese will pay two or three times as much for old English brand name products like Dunhill and Aspray as the British will. Russians are mad for Imperial Russian stuff, Americans will pay more than Russians for Soviet era stuff, often by a mile. There was a period when the Malaysians were mad for American sunglasses, and similar freak markets variations abound. With the feedback aspects,and user appraisals, the whole thing sounds very much like an antiquated forum shoehorned into the latest miracle device for the sake of it. It simply does not seem all that novel in conception, just format. Best of luck with it anyway, but I do not think my primitive eyes and brain will be obsolete before the electricity is cut off and they start to rot away. Years of looking at user's pictures and descriptions on the boards leads me to believe the main problem will be identifiable input.[/QUOTE]
