Looks great! Despite being the most poorly ported to PC game I've ever played, I thoroughly enjoyed Saints Row 2. More than any GTA game. I'll definitely be picking this up.

I'm guessing because Verizon in the US is one of the few carriers still using CDMA, so developing a phone that only works on one US network, as opposed to dozens of networks worldwide didn't make much sense at the time.

I'm still using Symbian on my Nokia E71, so my results may not be typical. Nevertheless, besides the stock "apps", I use:

Basically my favorite author. Though, strangely, not for his cyberpunk works (as great as they are), but more for his most recent Bigend trilogy. It's a very interesting sci-fi take on the present.

Money.

It all comes down to the games, of course. The main reason I don't own a PSP, is because I wasn't paying attention. I assumed it still existed like it originally did when it was launched... generally lacking in good games. Apparently that has totally changed, and it has a huge back catalog of great games now. I'd be…

Seconded. Though, really, whatever new iPhone comes out will be my next phone. Symbian 9.2 is feeling pretty damn old...

Interfaces are mostly to do with personal preference. It's really just matching an interface to how your brain works. I find WP7 pretty confusing to use. Yet I can pick up any Android phone and make sense of it instantly. Ditto with the iPhone. And I don't even own either of them (Nokia E71... still).

I've played with some of these phones here and there (not Mango, of course). I dunno. I can see the appeal... but it doesn't apply to me. For whatever reason, I find the interface pretty cluttered to look at and navigate. I don't even own an iPhone or an Android phone, but I can always pick one up and get around the…

I'm pretty happy with iPhoto. I use it to keep all my photos organized, and do most of my editing with it. Never really had any performance issues. Nor does it take up that much space. It even uploads RAW files without any fuss. Granted, the RAW processing doesn't grant one as much control as the CS5 equivalent does.…

Instead of blowing their load right at the beginning, they're going for a slow and steady release. Makes sense to me. Definitely a more sustainable state to operate in.

I've only been frequenting Kotaku for about a year now, and honestly I haven't really noticed any of these problems. The layout is alright visually. I just find it pretty buggy, across all the gawker sites. As to the content, the Culture Smash articles are among my favorite things about Kotaku. I can get game news…

It is pretty slow. I used to use it to sync my E71 with my computer. For anything beyond contacts and calendar, it's way too slow. Wifi is definitely the way to go.

I'm guessing it'll be a mostly "under the hood" upgrade. A5, more ram, maybe more storage (or maybe not, what with iCloud), maybe pentaband HSPA... that sort of thing. It would be cool if they increased the screen size a bit. They might be a bit antsy to change the form-factor. We'll see.

More steampunk than cyberpunk, I'd say. But, pretty damn cool nonetheless.

Very well put. I may be a 90% Mac user, but I've always loved the Thinkpads. They have such a utilitarian charm to them. That, combined with their impressively engineered durability and longevity, makes them an icon in their own way. They may command a bit of a price premium, but you definitely get way you pay for.…

I'm on Telus in Canada, with their fiberoptic service (bundled with TV). It's about 40 bucks a month, and my cap is 250gb per month. Going to the top tier plan for an extra 15 bucks a month doubles that cap. So... I'm not complaining. Even if I'm perpetually torrenting stuff, I'd still really struggle to hit 250gb,…

From what I can tell, a greater emphasis is put on mobility, connectivity, and build quality. Compare the Dell Latitude notebooks to a regular Inspiron. Or a Lenovo Ideapad to a Thinkpad. Take note of the dramatic difference in build quality.

And that right there is why Apple's iMessage will succeed. There's no managing "iMessage" and "regular" contacts. The phone does it automatically. If the person on the other end has iMessage, it uses that. If not, it sends a text. All within the same messaging app. If it weren't that seamless, I'm guessing a lot of…

I played with one at Chapters a few days ago. The hardware is really nice, and the touchscreen worked pretty well... but it was really damn slow. My current-gen Kindle can load up any book from the home screen in a second or two. The Kobo Touch took a good 10 seconds to load up the sample version of "the Art of War".
