@casperiv: The Evo is pretty good (picked one up a few months ago), but I recommend playing with a G2 to see what REAL Android looks like.

@rashad123us: Only a few million iPhones? The ROI for Apple is really high- with R&D covered, all they have to do is rework it a little bit for CDMA and get a few million sales. The question isn't why- it's why not.

@kaffeen: YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH

@fury161: Your fingers will be crossed for a long time.

@Lupus_Yonderboy: You don't need cable for it- you just won't be able to search live TV for content. All other stuff (Netflix, DLNA, Amazon, apps, etc) is still possible.

@DarthChimay: [dresdencodak.com]

Heartless. They wouldn't even help them then bill them for it? Give me a fucking break.

@Platypus Man: A Zombie-Themed Hat Simulator then?

Google Reader. Still would love a dedicated app from Google for Android, but the web version is alright.

I hope content providers see this push online for what it is: a chance to monetize while cutting out cable providers and giving users more convenience. The longer channels insist on traditional models, the longer people have to get used to torrenting.

@NNTPgrip: Logitech is probably going to introduce a line of devices on Wednesday, so you might be on to something.

@mat: Without apps? If not undercooked, definitely lacking spice. As it stands it's like a less useful Roku.

I think with the $99 fee and Amazon's more curatorial stance (not unlike Apple's), this could mean the emergence of two marketplaces: One where content is carefully vetted and cared for, and one for everything, meaning Android users could have their cake and eat it too.

It's amazing to see how things change in a little more than a decade. Back then, Mel Gibson was simply an aging action hero, our Road Warrior. Now, that Road Warrior fits in a psyche ward.

@Dunny0: I think it would be most appropriate as a Youtube clip, of Navidson filming the hallway, then climbing out the window to see the solid wall outside.

@OMG! Mr. Holland's British Opasaurus Rex!: Oh Guy Fawkes. Didn't realize people were such papists.

@Tortz7: The point is to have greater control over contacts, call settings, voicemail goodies, and free SMS (or rather, SMS over your data plan).

@Meredith Woerner: Did you see The Last Airbender? I had to walk out.

@MaxellDVD1: And ActiveX

@vlatro: An excellent comment. Microsoft has a lot to answer for, which would be one thing if it seemed like they were learning from their mistakes. I still shudder with a mix of amusement and rage at their IE8 test pages. They were supposed to show how standards-friendly their browser finally was, but they only ran…
