So basically it's just a regular guitar with another guitar as the headstock.....that sounds awful.

G1 users running 2.2, start gloating now.

Kind of disappointing that writing a decent looking game in OpenGL ES2.0 means leaving almost half the Android community behind (ES2 is 2.1+ only). But I suppose the majority of those users don't have the power in their phone to run fancy games anyway.

@dallasmay: Maybe the vines have crawled across power lines. I don't know if there are indeed power lines spanning the airspace between buildings, but that would explain how the vines crawled between.

@RT100: Not any worse than the folk who daisy chain 20 surge protector/power strips together. (Not exaggerating)

Have these poor kids have never heard Dark Side Of The Moon?

@electricarchie: I was just gonna say something like that. My detachment usually involves heavy doses of Teenage Fanclub and The Clientele

@JakeMertz: Except....no. The reason Apple's faulty antennae became national news was because they wouldn't even admit they had a problem. Verizon/Motorola is already replacing bad Droids.

Verizon/Motorola has already admitted this problem, says it only occurs for launch-day models, and anybody can walk into the store to get their broken one swapped.

@Dr. Nemmo: I kind of like HP's Palmpad name, but just about every other *pad name, including the iPad, just sounds dorky.

A dual booting tablet would be pretty rad. Use the simple and low-power Android side for reading, basic tasks, media playback, etc... switch over to Windows 7 for full Photoshop or other complex tasks. Do it right and the tablet could actually replace your notebook.

@☆Giroro G66☆: I could probably swallow $100. So if my current Elite ever poops out I'll probably get this bundle package. Right now though I'm not even considering the "upgrade".

@glitch44: That gloss finish is blinding (and besides a dust magnet.)

Until I can play Air Guitar Hero, I'm still not sold on whether I want Kinect at all.

If it's launching in 2011, I would hope it gets Android 3.0 (Gingerbread), which is due by the end of this year to coincide with Google's music store launch.

@media2242: That's a pretty big deal. Thanks for the link.

@crd22: Dev tools are free for everybody (at least Express edition).

Microsoft is going to have to lower its Marektplace entry fees if it wants to truly build a substantial app ecosystem for WP7. Some of the best and most useful software on the iPhone and Android might not have even launched if the developer had to shell out $198 outright. It really kills the plausibility of free apps,…

@SQLGuru: I don't know what it's like in WM6, the last mobile platform I developed for was Pocket PC 2002, but WM7 uses XML based layouts like Android does....however it's about ten times easier. You get a live preview of what your layout looks like as you're building the markup, it's pretty slick.

@meatbag_pussrocket: No tapes thank god. Nah we're backing up to a string of external drives and our FTP site.
