I had an Asus T101MT for about two months. I liked it fine, but then a CR-48 arrived at my door and I sold the Asus on eBay for more than I paid (don't really understand how that happened, but people can be pretty stupid on eBay.) I miss not having Photoshop and Minecraft (no Java on ChromeOS yet), that's practically…

Remember folks, this is Motorola we're talking about. They might be promising a Gingerbread update (are they even?) but IF it comes at all, don't expect it to show up until next winter. And Honeycomb/Ice Cream? No chance in hell.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Lionel Twain...er, Barack Obama.

HTC usually pushes out new devices in the spring/summer, so we haven't seen a lot of new stuff recently while Samsung has been getting all the attention. The G2 was the only Q4 release I can think of off the top of my head (or was that Q3?). Just hold on to your hat, I'm certain HTC will have some cool new toys for us…

That's true, but HTC basically handed over control of the device updates to Google with the Nexus One. I'm sure there was still some back-and-forth between the companies when it came to hardware-related bug fixes and the like, but upgrades were being directly developed by Google engineers. Now that the N1 isn't being…

That is exactly what I was thinking of last night as I couldn't fall asleep. Apple is providing a new API and payment gateway for in-app purchases and I imagine a lot of developers, including Amazon, Rhapsody, and other big players will want to utilize it. But a 30% processing fee? Absolutely batshit crazy! PayPal,…

I kind of feel the same way. I'm not prepared to jump to Apple (being tethered to iTunes is just too much for me to swallow) but when Nokia puts out some WinPho7 handsets? Seriously considering a switch to that. It's kind of sad that not even the Nexus One has received Gingerbread updates yet, and Google has been…

So the three most powerful men in the world, plus the President Of The United States? Maybe it's just an intervention to get the prez to stop using a Blackberry

[frack! posted this comment in the wrong article. i'll blame it on Gawker's new layout like is the cool thing to do these days.]

Maybe it's just me, but...don't some of these women look sexier in before versions?

Sigh, your Wal-Mart comparison is so bleak and yet so true....

I'm not clear either I guess. I know they host stuff that sells directly through iBooks. If Apple wants 30% from iBooks, iTunes, or whatever else they host and provide support for, fine! (...and they already do that.) But yeah, they aren't hosting Kindle magazines, and they're not providing Netflix streams, so to me…

That reasoning holds up for the purchase of software that could, say, affect device performance, or reflect poorly upon Apple as a company. But I wouldn't say it the same reasoning applies when you're talking about content people pay for inside an existing approved App. If people have trouble with their Rhapsody…

30%, 20%, 5%... Is it really within Apple's right to require a revenue cut from subscription providers at all? Even if they do own the ecosystem? This new policy is tantamount to, say, if Microsoft required a percentage from every subscription-based video game, movie service, or music stream that ran on Windows. Can…

That's the last thing I'm worried about. I give it one week after Netflix's "official" release before the folks at XDA have it running on rooted Androids.

There isn't a Netflix client any on any platform that doesn't use DRM. And it's not like it's a big deal - the encryption is unobtrusive, never gets in the way of functionality. In this case, the only way DRM would be annoying would be if you were trying to rip the stream, which is exactly why there's DRM in the first…

I don't feel that required custom case is an especially bad thing. It looks like it'll prevent death grip and it's not especially unattractive. If you've got to have a case, might as well add some functionality - Beats those fugly primary-colored bumpers, at least.

Second this question.

People have praised the official Twitter client since day one of its release, and you know what? I was using Twidroyd before and simultaneously, and after - Twidroyd is streets ahead. Not even including the multiple account feature, it just does way more stuff. Integration with bit.ly, twitpic, all the other major…
