those look baller but personally i almost never listen to music on the go so the idea of high res audio players is just wasted on me one exception is in the before times if i were working in a coffee shop sometimes i’d put in my fancy earplugs and then put on my headphones with the volume turned up a bit to drown out when other customers got super annoying.

one funny thing about the steak is how everyone mocked it when it came out because a 5" screen was ludicrously huge for a phone

Volmarias posted:Some tech director for Google or Motorola or something trying to get people to publicly describe Android and iPhones circa like 2009 as Superphones to differentiate them from smart phones, because they were such a leap again from what smart phones were from ye olde cellphonees of yore nvidia tried very hard to make this stick when tegra was first a thing and their pr people would get upset when i mocked them for it at every opportunity when we talked

Wild EEPROM posted:which bad ipad competitor had the most laffs the playbook worked fine without a blackberry, though you didn't get messenger without one, i don't think. i got a free one and and used it for media because the speakers were good. this was also, for the time, a plus about the touchpad. i feel like the steak was also thick, but maybe i've been apple poisoned all phones were thicccc at the time

yeah tbh i browsed the web pretty well and hilariously actually did flash decently especially considering it was a tablet. but flash was terrible and they clearly spent a bunch of money doing it as the anti apple and it was just such a dumb movt

meat sweats posted:There was absolutely no use case for a tablet that only ran non-existent Blackberry apps and had a significant chance of become permadead if you forgot to plug it in for a weekend, when it cost exactly as much as the equivalently specced iPad or Samsung. If you bought one for $50 after it was shitcanned then sure. you’re really misreading my point here which was that compared to a lot of devices at the time the hardware was great. the software sucked which is why it was a failure. normally non ipads had lovely hardware and lovely software both.

Mr. Nice! posted:is that not still the case? depends, really. i have an 8-inch samsung tablet i really like because it has an oled screen which makes it the best for reading in bed at night. i wouldn't necessarily want to use it for much else, though, so i'd argue it has good hardware and mediocre software.

Laslow posted:all of the people and work involved spinning up a vanity mvno and then all that again to shut it down/shift accounts to whoever all because some exec forget to take their ativan before lunch to take the edge off their mid-morning adderall/frappucino a year and a half ago. i know, it's wacky. mvnos in general are pretty wild in terms of the weird poo poo that pops up from time to time.
