It annoys my (not-live-in) girlfriend to no end, but I love my antenna. ION is the best free channel, ever.

Requiring cable to use Hulu is a lot like requiring sugar for aspartame to taste sweet; the whole point is that it's a cable alternative.

In the event that that happens, I'll fashion Hulk Hands out of the contract-price currency and punch my way into the TMO store on launch day.

While I applaud HTC for focusing on a specific range of devices, it's beyond frustrating that the whole range isn't available on each carrier. I'm on TMO, my contract is coming to an end, and I want a One. Thing is, I want the One X. I'm not signing a new contract and dropping $200 for a second-place phone.

I'd pay $10 for BBM for Android. I'd probably pay $25 for a suite of integrated BB apps. For all of their failures, nobody handles the sundry of messaging options better than RIM.

Two reasons: battery concerns, and the wide availability of car adapters/docks for i-products. I prefer Android, and there just aren't a lot of accessory options. I'm still satisfied with my decision, and Spotify access is enough to make up for the negatives.

Same here. I was going to refresh my iPod, but decided that $300 bought one hell of a nice pair of headphones and a 32GB SD card for my phone.

I'm running the Swiftkey3 beta. There's some mild bugs (it insists on auto-caps when I've turned them off), the predictive text is a step above X's excellence. The multiple word correction is really good, and I use it a lot more than I thought I would. I'm excited for it to go final.

This phone is so "exactly what I want", my contract isn't up until August, and I still might get it then, despite better future phones being available.

Instagram itself is essentially a social network, and one that required an iPhone to join. People are psyched to be able to join the community & use the platform to share their pics: simple filters aren't he draw.

It's possible that I'm incredibly cynical, but I see Gatekeeper monitoring applications as a trial ballon, where the *real* endgame is to apply it to media. Your song/movie/book doesn't work unless it's signed by the content producers, a certified seller of said goods (Amazon), or (ideally, for Apple) the iTunes

Me (Android) and my girlfriend (BB) have been looking for something like this for a year. Of course, it's for neither of our platforms, but it's a fantastic idea. Kik/Whatsapp/etc just don't cut it.

No disrespect to the author, (great article) but I don't want to hear a damn thing from Instagram unless it's "now available for Android."

About three times a month, I get the sudden desire to hear something so old/obscure that I don't happen to have it on my iPod. I'd happily pay $5/mo for mobile-only access, but for $10, it would have to be my prime mode of music listening. And for me, it's not.

Props to Samsung for competing on features. While people have a love/hate thing with the tone of the ads, the point of them has been salient: bigger screen, 4G, and (now) Google Maps integration. If anything, Apple is historically spec-adverse ("4x faster" isn't a spec). It seems like a far better plan than attacking

I have a Kindle Fire running CM7 and part of the OS is that you can put it into "night mode". I'm almost positive that there'd be something similar in the App Store.

The stock Fire reader is fantastic, and the Silk browser was already better than FF, but I'm still not giving up my CM7 install.

Ironically, (as any Yeezytologist could tell you) Sam doesn't dance any worse than Ye himself.

Is this the "White People in CES" remix?

Won't happen, but if Nokia were to release this with ICS & modern Android specs, I'd be powerless to resist. One of the best looking (and from what I understand, well-built) phones I've ever seen.
