One year ago I've had my 3GS for two years and started to feel slow and unresponsive. I strongly felt the urge to buy a new phone but at that time I hadn't the money to buy a iPhone 4s so I bought an Nexus S instead. So my gadget hunger was set and I became friends with my Nexus over the 12 months. I was still using my 3GS as an iPod Touch basically and this was a good compromise for me. But after half a year I left my 3GS in the cab so I had to use my Nexus for everything. I purchased doubletwist as an replacement for the Music App on iOS and some other stuff. I wasn't perfectly happy with everything but I liked my Nexus and got along quite well. 

But I kinda knew all the time, that if the new iPhone will come out I probably will switch back to iOS on my phone. So last week I ordered a iPhone 5 and it will arrive on Monday. I'll sell my Nexus to a friend and today I was asking myself what features I'm gonna miss on my iPhone:

Miss:

- Öffi Stations. Before I take the bus I always check the live departure times on the dashboard widget.

- Dashboard widgets in general

- Nice google account integration

Don't miss:

- Physical back button. I hate that thing, the reaction is not consistent at all.

Lesetipp:

I used this sunny Sunday to watch and listen attentively to this long but very fascinating talk by Pierre Bélanger, currently Professor at Harvard Design School. 

He questions the way we architects are trying to solve problems without understanding or questioning how much the infrastructure and their design influences the inner-working of our world. 

Auch ich bin auf den Wagen der smarten Heizkörper-Steuerung aufgestiegen und habe diesen Herbst für das System von tado entschieden. 

Bei der Montage  musste ich feststellen, dass ich trotz mitgelieferten Adapter, die laut tado Seite auch für das RAVL-Ventil passt, und Kontakt zum tado Support sich den Thermostat nicht montieren ließ. Der Adapter war ca. 0,5-1mm zu dick, so dass sich das Thermostat nicht dranschrauben ließ.

Nach längerer Recherche und Zweifel, dass es doch vielleicht an meinen handwerklichen Fähigkeiten lag, fand ich heraus, dass es vom RAVL-Ventil zwei Typen gibt, die einen fast identischen Durchmesser besitzen.
