@Lupus_Yonderboy: Yes, Gawker bought the wireless, networkless, useless model.

@thinkthis: Credit should be given where credit is due: the bottle rocket did precede the Space Shuttle... and by a lot longer than just a few months.

@OCEntertainment: You want a "real, distinct version" when that means Kobo would have to make a version specific to the Evo. The Evo is hardly a mainstream device, and perhaps never will be. Too much diversity/lack of standardization/churn in the Android space. You made your choice.

@Cheesus Crust: You might have been stuck in 2005, but there's no need for snoopware (free or otherwise) to move forward.

Who's the copy editor here?

@Cheesus Crust: Google is the best at everything they do? You must be referring to their scoffing at privacy and intellectual property rights. That's all thanks to being so big they can afford an army of attorneys. Other than that, the only things Google does well are search and snoop.

What should Google do? Google should stop trying to infiltrate every aspect of our lives.

If the Kindle/DX is so good, why do the reviews average only 4-out-of-5 stars on amazon.com, with more than 25% at 3 stars or less? (Hint: It's a rhetorical question. We can all read the reviews to find out).

@Darkseider: For ever and a day? Not on an Android's internal battery!

@Omar Galarza: we don't need no Googie NavSpyAdwarz

@avntgrd304: The challenge system works great in tennis, where it does interrupt play but only briefly. Players only lose a point if they halt play in the middle of a point and are wrong. Most of the time, they've already lost the point and challenge the call in an effort to restore the point or replay it. And players…

@derilium: (1) Gizmodo is not a news site. It's essentially a news aggregator. The iPhone prototype is a rare case where Gizmodo didn't link to one or more originating websites with a few smarmy Palin-esque words of wisdom.

@derilium:

@tealfixie: Skype messes with your computers and messes with your LAN. End of story.

@irfan: Perhaps in the present case, if the edit was indicated, the author would have felt compelled to remove "Finally!" from the title, too. ;-)

Uh, what do videochat standards have to do with every new tech standard? Supposedly Apple is abandoning iChat for the iPhone and using all open standards instead with FaceTime. It's a simple concept really.

dpreview.com says the SD15 was announced at Photokina 2008, not 2006.

@bender123: The insecure one is Google. They're so desperately hellbent on protecting and growing their stagnate ad revenue that they're churning out one Android update after another with virtually no regard for how typical consumers will ever obtain the updates (including security fixes) without buying a whole new…

@cubeenigma: But if you do choose to switch away from the unlimited plan, you do not have the option of returning to it.

@derilium: I wouldn't be surprised if the display appears better in person than you're expecting from the specs. Prior to WWDC, rumors were circulating that Apple had not just chosen a high quality IPS display for the iPhone 4, but the illumination was going to be improved, as well, to provide flicker-free viewing for…
