from what I read (i'm assuming this is the same story and everything, it was on reddit yesterday) the violin had a "disputed label". I dont know exactly what that means, possibly that someone had made a replica of a popular brand. From what I read though, there's not really such thing as a "fake" violin, since it was…

I'll have to try that out, that's what I'm getting, blank screen with audio. thanks!

Marvin was created at a time when humans still believed that Italy was on a different planet...

yeah, tell me about it... Last I heard, the Xoom was supposed to be the first tablet to receive a honeycomb update. Then all of a sudden they (moto) made this announcement about all the steps that they go through before releasing an android update to customers. I'm really hoping that was specifically directed at their…

my spell check didn't appreciate it. Glad you did

not really... at first it sounded like it was going to happen within a few weeks of the source being released (which happened a few weeks ago) then motorola made some announcement that made it sound like it could be mid summer before we see anything.... I ended up spending a couple hours figuring out how to root it…

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the transformer prime 500 dollars?

its only thick because there's something thinner to compare it to... one day the ipad 2 will probably be considered "thick" but they'll call it "girthy" or something...

if you're feeling adventurous , put ice cream sandwich on your xoom. Makes it feel like you just bought a new (even faster) tablet.

What needs to change to make it justify the price for you? as far as hardware and build quality i'd guess its pretty similar, the biggest difference is probably the OS. On apple hardware, visual stuff takes priority over page loading etc. so if you're looking for a "buttery smooth" experience, the ipad will probably…

I know this review is for the xyboard, but as someone who still likes their xoom , its WAY better with ice cream sandwich.

i wish that apple was the one who used this motto... it'd be interesting to see how much more/less coverage there would be on the topic of whether or not said company was being "evil" again

I used to do paid blogging all the time (over a period of like a year) and this is pretty common practice done by all sorts of companies. Not sure what the rules were on nofollow tags , but I thought the rule was that you're not supposed to use the so that the company can tell how many people clicked your specific…

yeah, kind of my feelings as well... For me they've always seemed like a very niche market. They're for people who for whatever reason want/need something as large as a laptop , but not as thick or heavy (not that current laptops are really all that heavy anyway). One thing that could kill the windows ultrabook market…

I think what everyone wants to know is; why is THIS year's model worthy of the title "Most Important Gadget of 2011" ? in many people's minds, its like if the ipod touch won. Sure, the ipod spawned tons of other mp3/media players, but not the CURRENT ipod model....

same here. If its gotta be an apple product (and trust me, it does...) I'd at least have thought the ipad 2 would win. THe original macbook air was really the only one people seemed to care much about. the rest are, like every other laptop line, just obvious upgrades to keep it competitive with all the other thin…

its weird how much has changed in just a couple years for me. I remember when having software like itunes was a REQUIREMENT for me to listen to music on a device. That device happened to be an ipod, so no surpise. Then I needed a different software when I switched to a zune hd. Then I got a smartphone and uninstalled…

sure, i mean, I've got a xoom, so ideally they'd be making it for android as well, but otherwise yeah, there's just kind of a few things that need to happen or this thing wont be able to get past kickstarter. its kind of like how flying cars would be awesome and great for avoiding traffic, but you can't always just…

what was the purpose of posting that screenshot? (maybe i'm just missing something here...)

why would anyone want an iPhone for Christmas?
