When I go forward, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet.

I know all the nerds are yeah awesome, but to the everyday consumer this is a mess.

Oh I will. Have no doubt about it.

You should send one of your LA writers out to Ikea covina, where they have their LED bulbs on sale this month. Would be really interesting to see how they stack up to the competition considering their low price (under $10).

Looks wise, the HTC 8s is winning out.

I say this because the tablet apps on iOS are much nicer than their android counterparts. And while, android is the better OS, at the end of the day for me the OS is just launching apps. So if I have two comparable devices (though that is arguable, especially regarding built quality/materials) I would go with the one…

At Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC705/refurbished-ipad-with-wi-fi-16gb-black-3rd-generation

That being said, the Nexus 7 is leagues better than the ipad mini. Basically, for me: iPad 3, for my sisters (if I hadn't just given them some nooks) as a christmas gift: Nexus 7.

In the 10in tablet space Apple is still king, and this is no match. I'd go with refurb ipad 3 at $379 over this any day.

Well I was going to switch to an iPhone 5 but at $300 unlocked, I think google just kept me an android user.

I used windows with media center as my dvr/netflix/movies catalog. I wonder if there are any updates to media center.

So what does "works" mean? Does it actually charge the phone if you manage to hack it to fit?

Yup. Basically this. The question now is do I stick with what I have, or do a throw $200 at a nexus 7 to make due until then.

329!!! That's about 40 dollars too much......now that I type that it seems like a trivial amount, but I'm sticking to it.

I got my dad a mofone a while back and he is still using it. I can see him loving an e-ink smart phone. One of the things he would really like to add to his phone is maps.

Really like this. Probably my favorite of the ios homescreens posted today.

I like this quite a bit. I should consider adding color back to my phone.

Where did you get your theme/icons?

Getting an iphone soon though so. Whatev. Running android 2.3 with golauncher.

What are you using for the black notifications?
