"Yet people keep saying android is way ahead of the curve."

Nevermind...

Faster download speeds doesn't automatically mean more bytes being used. It just means the same bytes are being used faster. =

Welcome to Gizmodo! Where things like "It's it important to note that this is only a test model of the the Galaxy S II" are first mentioned in the third paragraph.

If by fanboys and blogs, you mean Google announcing it at their I/O keynote, then sure. This has been known for a while.

Because Amazon is controlling the experience just like Apple controls the experience on the iPad. All of Amazon's services are deeply integrated into the tablet.

The people that ask "Is that an iPad" when someone is holding a GTab are people that think that the iPad is the only tablet out there. It's like my wife asking, "Is that a…

The USB plug always cracks me up when people use that in the copying argument. You have a tablet that's thinner then a pencil, wtf did you expect the plug to look like?
