yes but palm hired a bunch of people from apple. that's how webOS happened.

some of those were people apple had thrown under the bus. but still.

My favourite quote from way back:

quote:

A Palm spokeswoman, Lynn Fox, said that people who equate success with packed stores may be disappointed, because the company will take time to generate buzz with the new phone. “We’re not like Apple,” she said.

Lynn Fox was the head of Apple's Mac PR department.

So recently our company moved from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and me and a few coworkers that use CM6.x.x all lost our activesync email. Other android users in the company were able to connect to the new server fine, but we kept getting a message that said "Unable to open connection to server"

What we finally realized is that it isn't a google issue. Basically, CM makes some changes to the email app for some random features. In doing so, some code got changed which breaks it when going against exchange 2010 (i think it also affects 2007). I had to run the emulator just to pull the stock email.apk file, once you have that (i've attached it), you just push it to your phone and that's it. Download the attachment and do the following steps:

Almost every application crashes when it run them, market, phone etc. The only thing weird about the phone is I have removed the broken touch screen so there is no touch screen. (basically i just unplugged it).

The main reason I want this phone is not to be a normal phone but a voip home device that lets me use a phone at home that does not use up my minutes. So If there is any way i could somehow wipe everything off and then install some old?/basic? version that would be sufficent. as long as it has the phone capabilites, sipdriod uses the phone and contacts.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for your product. I use it flawlessly on another g1 i have.

Just wanted to say - I got my Xoom, and yes, I do see some freezes and weird behavior every once in a while.
It doesn't bother me though.

We're all early adopters helping to push Honeycomb forward. Since Xoom is the only tablet atm that uses honeycomb, and it's a pure "Google Experience Device", I'm sure we'll have updates from ElGoog soon and often. Plus, this device is a heaven for developmental though and experimentation, so I'm sure we'll see great things from our local genuises at XDA.

So everyone chill and enjoy a rare opportunity to be there when it all starts =)

guys I know it feels like we're unpaid beta testers, but that's really just the Google experience

is there anything the xoom does right? anything at all?

motorola has to know that their poo poo is nowhere near ready; as more and more of these terrible reviews pour in, I wonder if they only decided to make a tablet like last week

"gentlemen, the ipad2 will launch in a month. how soon can we get a tablet out"

"uh sir these software things take time to devel--"

"gently caress NO, don't bother with that wishy-washy development stuff, just branch google's git repo and type until it compiles"

"but we don't have any tablet factori--"

"factories? FACTORIES? we don't need factories! just go down to wallmart and grab whatever's on sale, we can reflash it. now get out of my office, I have a golf game at one"

It's amazing how easily you can slip into the shoes of people who make bad decisions.

reddit is pretty great for finding android care posts:

FFFFUUUUUU---- Help R/Android, please realign my desires to get the Xoom over the Second Gen iPad! (self.Android)

quote:

After the iPad 2 reveal, I thought that maybe, just maybe, people would greet the new device with some sort of rationality. Wishful thinking on my part.
What did they announce today? The same goddamn device they announced last year. They made it thinner and plopped a new processor in it. Oh, and they added the cameras that should have been there from the beginning.
That's it. No 4G, no NFC. The thing is still tethered to a computer via iTunes. It costs the same as before. It looks the same as before (just a bit thinner). Same weaksauce multitasking as before. No update to their notification system.
It's the same goddamned iPad in practically every way.
I just don't get it! How does Apple do this? How do they manage to drum up excitement for the same product year after year after year? It's crazy!
I mean, take the OP. If we assume he's legit and not a troll, then you have a person that looked at the iPad 1 and looked at the Xoom and said "I think that I'm on the Xoom train." Whatever the reasons may be, the decision was made, otherwise the current dilemma would not be an issue. But suddenly, the iPad 2 is announced, and something happened.
What could this dude have possibly seen that would make him say "oh poo poo, time to reconsider!" Is HDMI out really such a killer feature?

Android in general is not especially robust, but the stability issues I encountered on the Xoom seem worse than the relatively minor stability problems I’ve had over the past few years with my various Android phones. I imagine that the stability problems will be ironed out as Google improves the platform.

quote:

I have some confidence in Google's ability to address the stability issues and problems of that nature, but it's not really clear yet if Motorola will be able to roll those improvements out in a timely manner.

Google will fix all of these problems in time, praise be to Google.

Well, if a horse has a bit of an edge over another when it crosses the line, which one is going to get the crown?

The Xoom browser is faster, it supports tabs out of the box, and will soon have flash support (all while running on a higher resolution screen for more real estate.) As a web browsing device, it is currently king. The important thing about this is, unless some more significant optimizations come from iOS 5, it will continue to be king for pretty much another year. Also, that's assuming the Google stands still as well which we know they aren't going to.

quote:

Like we did with the Samsung Galaxy Tab we’re going to put the Xoom through the wringer, focusing on the browser to see how it performs and behaves for the mobile HTML5 developer. The short answer? The Xoom browser is not ready for prime-time — even for “HTML4” — and it urgently needs a patch update if Motorola wants the product to succeed.
...
We found consistent and reproducible issues in CSS3 Animations and CSS3 Transitions among other things. We had issues where the browser either hung or crashed. Regular scrolling was slow or below full framerate. We had issues where media playback failed or performed incorrectly. At times it felt like we were using a preproduction device, but we bought our test device from a Verizon Wireless store.

The xoom is king of web browsing devices like budweiser is king of all beers.
