I'm guessing staged, but that just means no one doing this has been filmed for the internet before, not that it doesn't happen (I've seen plenty of reading while driving before, and if you've never seen someone on a cell phone and driving where on earth could you possibly be living?).

I wonder how these could exist for even a day without a virus landing on them either intentionally or unintentionally... I'd be using a very disposable computer with a CD boot of linux and no installed HD to take a peek if I were in range... if there's something worth investigating pipe it through the computer to…

So... running beta OS (I'm running beta 3, and it's CRAZY better than beta 2 or 1 were but still NOT ready for prime time by any stretch...) inside china's firewalled internet (should you even expect the internet as you know it in china?) results in problems...

I haven't worn a watch regularly in probably 14 years, and I prefer digital to analog. But I would buy this in a heart beat provided it's somewhere in the stratosphere of affordableish.

If your game is good a lite version will propel sales. If your game is too small/short for a lite version you have to cross your fingers. If your game is not that good a lite version will the "what the hell, it's only a dollar" sales that would otherwise trickle in.

@dallasmay: Just a thought... maybe reduce the red tape...

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.3: this

@telepheedian: Criminals are people too. And people (as a group) are stupider than anyone could possibly imagine. Individual criminals can be just as smart as any other individual and those are the ones that don't get caught generally.

My 2c as a developer for both iOS and Android:

@footnotegirl: If I had had faith this story would have renewed it.

While I can see the point as a wedge in the market between smart phones and dumb phones from a price perspective on hardware, it's going to cost the same to run this as a phone that actually works, and you might want... data plans are data plans (even though they shouldn't be, but whatever that's the operators for…

@Almightywhacko: I'm a huge bargain shopper, and I run windows and mac systems. If you've ever owned and heavily used a mac you will learn what an insane value they are. Apple as a company is overboard with protecting their patents, but this is no different than MS protecting it's patents around the xbox or windows…

Yet one more reason why for me social networking is just a time sink. You're not even being social, it's just a billion people shouting into the wind. I have had significantly more meaningful connections through things like MMO's. People are feeling things when they play a game, it brings some barriers down. On a…

@Lizard_King: I don't think anyone but AT&T want the iPhone stuck on AT&T. The only reasons apple has stuck with it is legal agreements and a giant exclusivity check...

@snownpaint1: And the millions of other people out there with wallets want something easy to use, with lots of apps, that's trendy.

Anyone that's ever used a touch screen on a desktop quickly learns that it's really neat, and t's TOTALLY impractical. The sophisticated concepts that come with the foundation we have in traditional desktop OS's do not translate at all to a touch screen. If you need more than 1 button with only a down state and 2 axis…

@ITIL_Prince:

@schunniky: God bless you internet *snif*

@streeeeetch: welcome to the "Adobe? why do I care? it's just bloat, I want native apps!" world that iOS users have been in for a while :0)

@Yeah!: I'm open to being educated on this, and that was a pretty inflammatory statement, but I don't see how symbian really stacks up at this point to iOS and Android...
