@salt_bagel: Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; @ THIS STATMENT IS VERIFIABLY INCORRECT. THE STATEMENT IS A BLATANT ATTACK ON ISAAC WHICH COINCIDES WITH A WRITTEN EXTORTION ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN CHILD SUPPORT.
@unid3ntifi3d: Look closely here:
@vinod1978: What the FCC mandates is an upper limit on the SAR (specific absorption rate) of 1.6 W/kg. SAR is the measure of the rate of energy absorbed by tissue in an EM field. In order to reduce the SAR for a given transmit power, most manufacturers have opted to move the antenna to the bottom of the phone, a…
@aegisfire: "When Anandtech did its tests they indicated that the iPhone 4 performs better than the iPhone 3GS"
@vinod1978: First, let's try to close that italics tag for you.
@jbashara: 15, 20 years ago now, my family actually had a TV with that sort of functionality—the remote had a speaker, and when you turned on the TV with the buttons instead of the remote, the remote would beep. I think it was a Magnavox, if I recall correctly. As for why it didn't become more popular, I don't know.
Anyone else thinking "spherical chickens in a vacuum..."?
@homerberkowitz: It's listed as having HDMI, too.
@OCEntertainment: I haven't—that's actually what I meant by I don't know whether it works.
@OCEntertainment: It sure is. Let's try that again, then, shall we. I don't know whether it works, but it sure looks like it should. here
@Hanz the screaming idiot: Ostensibly. Evo, Incredible, Desire, Aria, and Eris. I haven't tried it yet.
@idrumgood: As I read it, this is about the fact that Safari will pull contact info out of the Address Book autonomously, without a user ever having typed it into a field in the first place (as I understand it, it'll also autopop all the relevant form fields). Which is behavior that, as far as I'm aware, is unique to…
@ITIL_Prince: Heart!
Gmote is definitely one of my most used apps. Even if it were only a wifi remote, I'd be pleased with it—launching files directly from the phone is a bonus. The big thing for me, however, is the touchpad functionality. I use it all the time, for uses ranging from controlling Netflix on my HTPC to browsing the web on…
@D.LYTE: The Incredible doesn't have an LTE radio, no. However, the EVDO network isn't going to just vanish overnight. There'll be plenty of time for the Incredible to obsolesce while it still works. You just won't get 4G speeds until you get a new phone. And you may not want to get the first gen of LTE handsets…
@gemcosta: I personally think the true genius lies in the fact that they're liable to make almost as much money from bored non-Applers who sign up just to taunt the Applekin, to whom they then do not have to provide any service. In fact, it mirrors the money that Apple makes when Apple-haters buy iDevices just to…
@nosebleed: It sounds like you are mistaken about the situation. Verizon Wireless licensed the term Droid from Lucasfilm Ltd. Android/Google did not. Verizon specifically decided to unify and distinguish their Android handsets from those of the other carriers with the Droid campaign. Note that the Motorola Droid is…
For those complaining about the logo: according to their website, it's laser engraved, and a custom option will be available "soon." I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll cost more, which would be annoying, but at least the option will be there (including, presumably, leaving it unengraved). Other colors are also…
