Who cares? competition is good.

"..tracks what you type into your phone using only your phone's motion sensors"

You know what guys..

Copying who? Please don't say Apple.

Keep in mind it's very possible that this app surfaced before the official Instagram did.. since there was no real Instagram, people searching for "Android Instagram" would have found the fake one.

To be fair, fixing the iPhone's antenna problem with a telescoping antenna would have probably been better than not fixing it at all.

Interesting.. I had several hundred in fraudulent charges on my Discover card a couple months ago.. a card that I use once or twice a year and don't even carry on me. I wonder if this is related. Discover was great about it. They sent me an email asking me to call them as soon as the charges went through, and when I…

I wonder why the photos in this story are pretty much all of Android phone apps, and yet the article is about tablet apps.

"having to" or "being able to"?

i don't disagree with most of your points,.. but the fragmentation stuff is getting old.

judging by the trend of banning anything that is used in an attempted hijacking/bombing on a plane, i suppose pilots are about to be banned

And the ones that came out in 2008 generally made it to at least 1.6(officially, and many to 2.2 or beyond unofficially), of which there are very many millions of compatible apps for.

As an Android developer, I haven't seen any of the custom manufacturer skins alter anything core to android that would break an API that an app would be relying on.

@Justin Have you ever developed for android? If you did, you would know that Android layouts are (or at least, should be) defined by density independent pixels. This makes sure that every app scales up nicely on any sized screen(and system level widgets.. text/buttons/etc render natively at any resolution).

never knew baristas had so much vacation time

Android has no minimum specs = "android should take MS's approach and mandate minimum specs to reduce fragmentation"

I kind of agree. I do read on my tablet but only when I'm laying in bed for the lighting issue. Other than that.. my trusty 2nd gen kindle all the way
