...but it's not an apple product. There's no way it "will change everything"
@Tim Reeves: Beat me to it.
@adgrimes: The biggest issue I see with landscape touch typing on the Galaxy Tab is the same reason I use the vertical orientation on my EVO. When I turn the EVO sideways, the keyboard takes up so much screen real estate I can hardly see what I'm typing. I imagine the Galaxy Tab would have the same problem.
@ddhboy: That Archos 7o looks nice, and I especially like that 250gb hard drive and the kickstand, but without the official android market access, I can't see myself getting one.
@adgrimes: It comes with Swype. I have Swype on my EVO, and I type with a vertical screen orientation. It's much easier to type with Swype than with the standard keyboard. Of course, SwiftKey is also pretty easy, and the standard keyboard isn't anything to scoff at....but Swype really takes the pain out of touch…
@Don Vaillancourt: Right now it's moving at 27,000 mph according to the article. For simplicity, let's assume that is exact. For the 6mph per century reduction, 1 century from now, the craft would be moving at 26,994 mph. A century later and it'd be moving at 26, 988. Assuming the reduction remains constant, the craft…

@Return of DaOtter: People have jumped off of the Eiffel Tower, which the video shows as significantly lower. (700+ feet) So I'd say you'd have enough time. I don't understand how they put up with that wind though. That high up, just standing on top of a tower. Took him a solid ten seconds to clip his hook onto the…
@rihahn: Somehow I doubt you wouldn't see them, or that they would cut you in half. I don't know how much force it takes to "cleanly cut" a decently fit human body in half; especially given the size of the wire required to stabilize a structure that tall, but I highly doubt that a parachute assisted fall allows for…
Getting down looks like it would be a bitch. I propose the climbers be equipped with parachutes and trained in base jumping to save time.
@barrywoods: Possibly. See my first post about Verizon restricting the market.
@barrywoods: Well...you make a solid point. I suppose the most obvious answer would be Verizon's app approval process.
@sonjek: No.
@Double Vanos: Being an Android user on AT&T, aren't you already out in the cold? I don't have any hard numbers, but the general feeling I've gotten from the tech blogs seems to point towards AT&T being heavy in Apple and BlackBerry products; with very few Android devices.
@Subliminal Bukkake: Apple's appstore is a closed, carrier-specific market, and it appears to be a big deal. Of course you could argue that there aren't outside apple devices. This particular issue becomes a big deal when Verizon chooses to exclude the Android Market from their phones in favor of their V Cast market.
@Cupajo: Verizon could choose not to include the official android market, and instead force anyone who uses their phones to use the Vcast app market. Verizon is pretty well known for restricting their phones.
@Metro Charts: I hate apple...but I would definitely pick up a set of apple shurikens at a reasonable (read:non-apple) price. Come to think of it, I'd like a set in Android, Windows, and Linux flavors as well.
@rebeldevil: I had Cricket for 3 years before I switched to Sprint for the EVO. I was satisfied with their service, and their price, but eating the cost of the phone was terrible. $350 for a krzr....
