They're right, though, about Google+ stalling out. Nearly everyone I know who got in has stopped using it... and that's a shame, because it's lights-out awesome. I never really got much into Facebook— just felt poorly designed to me, with a heavy focus on the kinds of social interaction I don't much care for— but…

I like this, but I'm torn. A lot of this stuff is relative junk (and that's OK, because free is free), but the larger issue is that third-party app vendors often don't receive updates in a timely fashion. Paper Camera is just one example of this... both the Amazon App Store and GetJar versions are behind the current…

I'm really hoping the Sea Ray offers a (comparatively small) 4" screen. I used to have an Evo, and now I'm rocking the Nexus S... and honestly I really prefer the 4" display on the Nexus (and not just because SAMOLED destroys LCD six ways from Sunday). Considering we're stuck with 800x480 on WP7 until such time as…

The Galaxy S II uses the Super Amoled Plus display, and yeah, it doesn't rock a PenTile matrix. I got to play with one recently, and it's shit-hot. All the problems present in the first-gen tech (poor text visibility, low red clarity) are fixed... and somehow the contrast levels are even deeper. As much as Samsung's…

LauncherPro is fantastic. But at this point it's almost abandonware. Yeah, it won't matter once Federico puts out the rewrite (one presumes that's why we haven't seen any movement on the current iteration in months)... but for now it's a bit annoying. I've been using the Pro version for about a year, and it's…

I'm with, um... everyone else on the Internet. You definitely didn't make yourself look like any kind of good person, leave alone a good date, with this article, Alyssa.

No, the rumors were always that the Prime would be the first ICS device. Just as the Nexus devices always lead a new version of Android. There's absolutely no way Google would allow a TouchWiz-packing device be the first to bow with ICS... it'd make no sense to launch a new version of Android hidden behind a…

It's not so much the Ice Cream Sandwich part that should bother you so much as it's stock Android against TouchWiz. It's kind of like having a clean bill of health versus having cancer.

Trouble is, the Prime is nearly confirmed to be packing a 4.5" screen, same as the revised European GS2 that was uncovered the other day (and that silly-thin 4.5" thing they released on AT&T a couple months back).

Design-wise, it's extremely similar to Logitech's laser-etched key-toting, three-stage backlight-packing wired Illuminated Keyboard. I picked up one last year and it's absolutely phenomenal.

Wow. That's a huge change. I don't really think it will make a huge difference on the day-to-day, though... but I'm sure it'll certainly be reflected in a huge way in after-hours trading. Google hasn't really changed much since Schmidt moved sideways... I can't imagine Apple's going to be all that different. After…

I'd recommend Snaptastic as the best camera app (over Vignette, primarily for the better UI and fine controls)... or even Puddin (if you don't mind the whole "in Korean" thing. Miren Browser is another app worth a look. Doggcatcher is really nice, but I picked up PocketCast free from the Amazon store and I like it a…

Which definitely explains the dual displays, right? Because, I mean, you use two monitors with your media center all the time, yeah?

You wouldn't even need a ROM (although you're right, there's a post on the front page of Development for the NS4G showing the Odexed and Deodexed forms of the factory image). Just download Wireless Tether and you're going in about ten seconds.

No, it's not. It doesn't even have a release date. And to be honest, it's unlikely to launch before late Q3... at least if Sprint wants its first Wimax-X device to launch with the actual rollout of WiMax-X.

It just doesn't seem efficient or cute. It's a glossy cabinet that needs to be opened every time it's in use, so it's always going to be filthy with fingerprints. And the inside looks a real fright. Finally, it just looks too small to use efficiently. It's too wide and entirely too shallow. And where do you rest your…

Rooting and running Wireless Tether doesn't require you to leave stock Android by any measure. It just requires you to run ADB for about ten seconds. Sure, you can then flash a different ROM if you want to, but you certainly don't need to.

I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy the Nexus S, having briefly used the N1 and having spent about a year with the original Evo. But the experience is just night and day. Sense is a hog, pure and simple, and that's why none of the three Evos is any kind of proper Nexus successor. And let's not forget that the N1 was…

I've got no problem with developers attempting to curtail the sale of used games. I don't really like this 'online pass' idea, however, as it's value-remove instead of value-add (like single-use DLC), but I get that it's an option these publishers are going to have to test out. However, I think that it's only feasible…

Unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus is foolishly easy. If you can install the Android SDK and type 'fastboot OEM unlock' in the ADB window you're set.
