We're a family of five, each with Verizon Wireless Trophy handsets and love them. The only minor complaint I have is with the hardware (small battery) which just means a little more frequent charging. It's an amazing OS, however...

The library is supposed to buy one additional copy from the publisher for every five people on a book's waiting list. I'm just amazed that after such a short time being available for the Kindle (a few months vs. since Day 1 for the original Nook), publishers are bailing because of Amazon offering its own service. …

I'm so glad I have a Nook instead. Especially since publishers are now pulling Kindle titles from OverDrive. So much for Kindle having free borrowing of books from public libraries...

Let's face it, age has a lot to do with it. I'm 45 and I've seen pretty much every sci-fi movie I can think of post-1960 but only some of the "classics" pre-1960. For you "youngins" that are 25 or less, you're missing out on a lot of great movies if you don't go back to the 70s and 80s (like Star Wars Ep. 4 & 5,…

Not all eyes are alike. Some people will notice the difference and appreciate it. I, for one, have always been sensitive to refresh rates. The first thing I used to do when sitting down in fornt of other people's CRTs was change their Display Settings to refresh at 75Hz or greater. 60Hz always gave me a headache. …

It's not proprietary. 'nuf said.

Sorry Kyle, but I disagree. It's Amazon and DC that suck here. Exclusives shouldn't exist with media, AT ALL. There are just too many consumers that are going to lose out. Sure, for Amazon it's good (in this case), but look at what happened as soon as Warner pulled support from HD-DVD. Blu-Ray was crowned king…

What good is this bill if providers can still throttle speeds after a certain amout of data is reached? That ought to be part of this bill - no throttling!

I'm laughing at all the "shock and awe" at Apple's announcement of Siri yesterday. Microsoft has had amazing voice recognition in Windows Phone (complete touchless support for reading and replying to text messages, web searching, running of apps, etc.) and their Kinect has been nothing short of incredible, especially…

Sweet! I was just doing a normal Zune update tonight and I got prompted to install some updates (7392 thru 7720) on my Verizon Wireless HTC Trophy without having to "push" things as mentioned above. It just finished - time to play! Thanks to Gizmodo, the best part is we're a family of five, each having one of these…

Sadly, watching ST:TNG recently proved to be a similar experience for me. It's still a great show, but it shows its age...

This is the boat we're in. We currently have 5 Samsung Rogue devices with unlimited data, but they're considered "multimedia devices", not "smartphones". We're planning on upgrading to new devices only this fall (or later), to 2nd gen Windows Phone hardware, whenever it's released. According to the customer service…

They have identical eInk Peark screens, however, the new Nook 2nd Edition has a much nicer UI and is quite a bit smaller and lighter. I played with both, bought the N2E and love it. I also got the Wright Black leather cover/case for it and it even looks like a small book when closed.

This hits home. I have a home theater at home with a 106" screen (my pride and joy) and after putting up with my three teens and their friends texting and surfing during movies in my own home for more than two years, I've established a new rule - if anyone wants to watch a movie with me, I collect the cell phones and…

You're not crazy. It's an excellent service.

The eInk screen is the only touchscreen...

Next month...

Without color, the extra resolution won't matter.

The next step is to have kids just stay at home and log in on their favorite screen to attend school. With the high cost of schools, it wouldn't surprise me if this happens in less than 20 years. So much for social interaction...

You'll miss it, sure. But tell me how your actions were good for Border's bottom line? I've never understood how/why people felt justified in sitting for hours on end in a Borders or B&N, reading books or magazines as if the store were a library.
