My dog would not appreciate this ... we have a standing agreement that she gets the peanut butter jar when it's down to the last dregs. She's very effective at cleaning it out.

Could be, the Nexus S was my last official upgrade from them (pretty sure that was 18 months). My last "upgrade" was a used EVO 4G LTE off Ebay this past December, so never checked what the upgrade cycle was at that point ... but upon some searching looks like they did change it to 20 months ... bummer.

Got my order in. Might be back-ordered 2 weeks.

I'll stick w/ my Roku until this gets Amazon streaming... btw where's my Amazon video app for Android??

Timely article ... I'm right in the middle of re-reading Anathem. Good stuff.
