This seems like an obvious thing that's being reported on just to puff apple up. We all know why apple's software adoption rates are higher/faster than android/windows offereings. Hardware choice and lack of agreements set up with manufacturers and providers means that even if everyone with (for example) and android…

That's perceived quality for you. Back when my company was working on prototypes for a wall-hung gel fireplace, we had to make the decision to leave some interior components steel rather than aluminum (which is what most of it is made of) in order to prevent it from feeling like a cheap product. My One X feels pretty…

see my reply to wittyname. TL;DR Anodizing is a coating that can come off, though not all that easily.

Engineer here; Anodizing is only a coating applied to the metal. It's meant to be strong and wear resistant, but if you DO scratch that anodizing off, it'll be bright aluminum underneath. If this is anodized the same way as the back of the original Xoom though, as the anodizing wears off (which it may or may not...…

I know that feeling.... I ordered a Nexus 7 online from google the day after they were announced. Honestly I didn't really expect to get it any SOONER than everyone else or anything like that, It was more that I got excited and wanted to order it instead of waiting for the release only to find out that local stores…

Come on people, be mature about this. You can talk about the iPhone without bringing Android into it.

I don't even know why I come here anymore... It's the 2013 Mustang; not "The New Mustang" that's how you differentiate models.

android phones aren't named after their software version... (by the way, ICS also known as Android 4.0 by Google and everyone else, 4.1 is code named Jellybean. They're still numbered though)

like it really matters?

I've gotta say.... having a One X, I was REALLY disappointed in the screen on the Nexus 7 when I got mine. Comparatively, it's not nearly as sharp or vibrant, the pixel density is noticeably lower, and the color temperature is way too warm. Disappointing becuase everything else about the N7 is awesome. You get used to…

(I'm replying to two people who said basically the same thing, so you may or may not see this posted twice) - Yeah, I suppose you have a point. Though it feels different considering they have numbered versions of the iPhone and had totally STARTED numbering the iPad versions. The thing that kind of got me was that…

Ugh.... seriously naming it "The New iPad" was the dumbest thing ever. It just makes no sense when there are already 2 versions floating around named "ipad" and "ipad 2" which all look pretty much identical. Next year when they announce another new ipad, it's going to make things even worse

I'm pretty sure she's literally talking about waiting in the line itself. The only sense I can make of this is that maybe she doesn't consider herself a "typical" apple fan and everyone in line was douchy or something (but if you're waiting in line to buy a phone, then you're really not much different than those…

This is really a great little example. I don't care that apple used it, becuase it's a good design. Just like when an android phone uses element's of Apple's design.

wasn't facebook supposed to be completely redoing the android app? Seems odd that they're updating anything now ...

I'm not buying one (I don't even have an iphone) but the reason peopel would buy one is because they're due for an upgrade and it's the only current upgrade to an iphone . It's not like there's a lot of options in the iphone marketplace. If you're an iOS user, you upgrade to another iPhone (unless you're switching to…

I'm an android user and I approve of this message. It's a cool phone and all, I just don't need to hear about it.

well they're really two different classes of camera, aren't they? Some people want FPS (and those people generally buy fast cameras with crop sensors, i.e. not this one), and some people want full frame (and they accept the speed trade-off) I'm sure nikon will announce another sports shooter sometime soon (I don't…

Yeah... I'm not a fan of this thing at all. I'm no fashion guru, but that doesn't look like something I'd want to be seen wearing.
