What about movies that I've downloaded and compressed to fit on my S3? Sometimes I'll start watching the movie only to realize that I need subtitles, but it's too late.

Actually, this may be a moot point, b/c reading subtitles on my phone doesn't sound fun at all.

I watch media on my HTPC, classic xbox, WDTV Live Hub, and Android phone (while on the train with no signal). I want .avi files or .mp4 files that I can watch anywhere. Give me that, and I'll gladly pay.

I could never get the commercials stripping to work correctly, and I personally hated how Windows Media Center wouldn't give me DRM-Free .avi or .mp4 files.

Just use iSyncr. It syncs with iTunes beautifully, and if you use Rocket Player as a player on your Android device, will transfer play counts from your device to iTunes.

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. So everyone else knows what's going on but me. This, combined with the fact that I never…

And Parks and Recreation!

I just started using PodKicker, which is free and syncs with Google Reader. I miss Google listen, becuase, even thought it was terrible, it was very easy to sync up.

I wish I could add something more than I agree, so here's the illustration I use frequently.

I would be interested in this but is there a good music management software for Ubuntu that would work with Airplay and sync playlists with Android? I'm not a huge fan of iTunes but that's one of the main reasons I'm using Windows.

media player for your phone.

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.
