Are you watching cinema format movies on your iPad?

In another review I read it's actually easier to hold in landscape mode than the iPad.

That's why I hate the fact that most of these writers compare it from the Apple device point of view and take everything the Apple product has for granted and the way it should be. Sometimes it's true, but not always.

Almost all 7" Android tablets are 1024x600. I think we'll see 1280x800 on them by end of the year.

If you're going to mention how awkward it is to keep it in portrait mode, why don't you also mention how awkward it is to watch a video on iPad in landscape mode and see it occupy only half the vertical space, with the rest being used by letterboxes.

Buy a phone that you know will be popular and supported by the hacker community. Don't buy some obscure phone that has a low chance of landing in a hacker's hands.

The Chromebook effect? I heard that Chromebooks are very appealing to schools because they don't have to pay everything all the once (they are tied to a budget) and also less hassle with IT administration.

Hey look, another troll.

How is Square more simple than this?

I think T-mobile, Verizon and AT&T have their Isis thing going, so maybe they are just refusing to support Google Wallet on their phones right now. So this is why they need the carrier support, because the other carriers seem to want a cut of this, while Sprint might have agreed to not get any cut, or at least not…

Fuck this? So you want everything you don't agree with or won't use to not even exist? Just don't use it and stop whining. I'm sure they'll continue to make credit cards for people like you for the next 30 years.

Can the wallet take bitcoins?

It will run North Korea's "Economic" Crysis.

Why are all tech bloggers declaring Apple the winner before they've even showed anything? For all we know, Spotify will beat everything once it arrives in USA, too.

That's nice, but it will be too late:

Behold...the vPhone!

That looks ugly.

Apple values app compatibility more than a few extra pixels. They will keep the same resolution. They wouldn't raise the resolution just by 20%.

I think it's more because LTE is expensive and they didn't want to burden the phone with those kinds of costs, when the only benefit would be working on Verizon. AT&T might launch their LTE network but it will probably not be very large in the beginning, so this might also be a favor to a AT&T.

And guess what, the "whole Samsung" is suing back Apple for patent infringements, too, so your point doesn't make much sense.
