That's the thing though, 99% of what I would use my laptop for I can do on my iPad. I want less clutter in my life, not more.

I am completely convinced that at this point you could take a random schlub off the street, put them in charge of RIM, and somehow manage to see a positive turn in the company within three quarters.

none of the buttons were responsive, huh

yeah you probably banged away at that ipad for hours, trying all of those buttons

was it hard to find all the buttons

Retail stores almost never hook up display models to a computer. Display models' chargers are usually connected to a power strip. The iPad's charger probably wasn't connected to the power strip, so that's why the battery went dead.

Occam's Razor, bitch.

What's more, Walkley also said that Apple had positively nailed the pricing of its tablets compared to the competition, meaning that rival tablet makers would have to start aggressively slashing their prices in order to at all keep up with the iPad.

isn't that the one which can download at 20 Mb/s, but has a hard data cap of like 250 Mb per month?

HYMEN.SYS posted:

I'm still confused as to why anyone would think that bringing a tablet to a party is socially acceptable. Bring booze, weed (depending on your friends), maybe a date, and maybe your phone. Anything else is stupid.

why would you buy a 3g ipad

"The other day I bought the newest, fanciest flagship Android phone [...] a Samsung Charge"

what

I had to google what this thing is. Turns out it's a budget ($99 on Amazon) variant of the original Galaxy S (release date: March 2010), runs Android 2.2, and tops out at roughly four hours of battery life.

They're either lying to you, or simply not paying attention; hth.

buy a nexus s

As you can se here, it CLEARLY states I9023 whereas the Amazon listing states I9020A. BIG difference, as the only model that works on AT&T 3G is the I9020A, which is what's advertised on Amazon. It's a craps shoot as to which model you will receive (I9020T, I9020A, I9023). What a mess.

quote:

I bought it especially for its Super AMOLED screen.
But you should know that before buying:
There is actually 2 kinds of Nexus S:
i9020 (i9020a i9020t) and i9023

i9023 is the european version or non-USA/UK version. It has S-LCD screen. Worse colors, worse black.
google it and check example photos (I found some on flickr)
Super LCD variant is unable to display black color, it's just dark grey. More vivid colors are provided by Super AMOLED screen of i9020 variant.


As far as I know, this is the only difference. If you want to root your phone, it is important again.

Apart that,
This is another perfect phone by Google (despite Samsung).

if you're sending mostly pre-compressed data like video or images, then a transmission system that gets a flat 20 kB/s or so is better. If you're sending mostly text, then a system with built-in compression but a line speed of 5 kB/s will be better.

What makes the news of Intel's official Gingerbread support puzzling, however, is that the platform will soon be deprecated. Eric Schmidt recently revealed that Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), the next major version of Google's mobile operating system, will launch in October or November. This version of the operating system is designed to work across multiple form factors, including tablets and phones.

Intel's plan to launch Gingerbread support on Atom a few months after the ICS release makes the company seem behind the curve. It's possible that Intel is simply not among the favored few who are given early access to the source code by Google.

Another interesting detail that surfaced in the video is the inclusion of MeeGo in Intel's platform lineup. Intel recently reaffirmed its commitment to the MeeGo platform amid rumors that it planned to discontinue its MeeGo development efforts. The slide describes MeeGo as being suitable for a wide range of devices and "perfect" for any developer. Other platforms shown in the list include Windows 7, Windows Embedded, and Fedora. The slide lists Windows XP alongside other Windows variants and uses the anachronistic "Fedora Core" branding to describe Fedora, so it's possible that it's partly based on outdated information.

Exactly, according to the site it supports this app:

Almost any content site that has some kind of flash requirement that doesn't automatically replace the video player or whatever with an ipad compatible player will almost certainly have an app. Even some obscure Philly affiliate AM news station.
