I'm worried about Google Voice.

Agreed. I have to say though, I'm so annoyed by the inability to receive group messages from iPhones that it's almost not worth using Voice anymore.

I wish. Asking people to switch from a standard just for me? I don't have that kind of pull with EVERYONE I know.

that's not a bad idea, but it's more when people send me messages, not me sending them out.

That only happens with (some) Sprint users who send me messages.

I've been using Google Voice for about 18 months, but lately I'm running into situations where I didn't get a text message that everyone else got - because the sender used an iPhone and sent a mass text, which went out as an MMS.

Can you play games off a USB hard drive or you have to burn them first? I am not interested in burning discs but am interested in what you're talking about and would love some pointers. Right now I have nothing - no xbox, no modding/soldering skills.

Amazon? No thank you. I love Amazon but all my apps need to be managed in one place, and that's the Play store.

remember when Palm kept doing that? That was funny, back in the day, because I didn't have a Palm device at the time. If I did I would have been mad.

Why would you buy one of these without trying out the keyboard first?

What I actually need is an app that detects when my mom says "you never call me" and gives me a list of dates/times when I called her and how long we spoke.

The WDTV Live Hub 1TB box is the one I chose - because although I have XBMC on my HTPC, sometimes I want to bring movies/TV shows on trips with me - and the 1TB drive is perfect for carrying tons of media to play at anyone else's house. Trying doing that with a an HTPC!
