Now THAT is Market Fragmentation...
Not only do we now have 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.3, 3.0...
but we also now have MeeGo, WebOS, BB, 7, iOS to worry about as an App Builder...
Awesome doesn't describe it.
Agree'd
no way in hell I'd pay $500 (or $400 + tethering) for something like that...
No
Way

Write your own update...
And then talk about how easy it is.
I'm not talking about downloading someone else's work either.
You have to consider that most manufacturers make their own User Interface. Just because Google pushed out Gingerbread... that doesn't "Smart Life", touchwiz, or whatever their interface is called, work with the new OS.
Also drivers have to be re-written/updated. Look at XP to Vista update as an example of how that can get complicated.
Also "carrier" software has to be verified as working with the ...
Agreed: Expect slow change
Android is different than BB/iOS.
With BB and iOS, any App sales or good/bad press is directed at the OS company. They control all the phones with that OS.
With Android, Google makes the OS but it's up to the phone manufacturer to do the updates.
It's sill to expect lightning fast response time to something that's basically lost money for the manufacturer.
Sure, they don't want bad press BUT this is a new paradigm where phones are expected to get ...
Even better...
Picard carries an iPhone. Kirk uses a Droid.
Obviously
this post wasn't meant for *YOU*. *Roll eyes*
There are a lot of iPhone users that aren't pompous jerks, with their lips wrapped around Jobs junk...
But there is a vocal number of iPhone users who drink the kool-aid and think the iPhone is a gift from the next Messiah.
Same can be said of rabid fans of anything - Blackberry, Google, Nokia... Obama, Palin... *insert football team here*.
To point out rabid Android fans, but not point out rabid iPhone fans... it's ...
How about this...

Recent article with a lot of good advice on different options for visually impaired people.
Agreed
I mean... hell at-least with other options, you don't have to pay to join. Gamestop for used games is a rip, but hell... at-least its free.
When iPhone fans do the same...
so will Android fans.
Just let me forward this...
to your bosses.
Could I get their email please?
I'm guessing you didn't...
Sense the sarcasm in the tone of the reply.
There isn't a whole lot of fully "original" idea's out. Most good products are simply better implementations of old idea's
St Louis REPRESENT
Grew up in St Charles. Miss that place :(
Don't you know ONLY Apple invents stuff?
The are made of MAGIC, puppies and RAINBOWS!!!
Sony is OBVIOUSLY copying Apple.
Get your head out out of magic land, and back into reality. Stop trying to defend OBVIOUS idea stealer's and phonies!!!
...
But really... I'm not a fan of Sony. I don't buy their products because of some fairly big decisions by the company. That being said, this does look like a cool idea.
Those who brag how smart they are...
Are afraid of how truely stupid they sound...
You have a lot to be afraid of.
I didn't say anything about socialism (for or against). I called u an idiot for wanting a real discussion with a piss poor attention grabber.
Go upstairs and ask your mom what she thinks of your crappy degrees.
It's a BAD attention grabber...
that gets the wrong kind of attention.
Instead of answering your real question, you have people wondering why you are such an idiot.
You are comparing Apples and Googles... er... Oranges.
Android and iOS are platforms.
GVoice is an app/service.
This would be no different than Apple making an iTunes app for Android users to download.
Or Microsoft making Office available for OSx. They'd rather you have it on Windows, obviously, but why restrict yourself and lose customers?
Give users on another platform access to services.
There is nothing about GVoice that is phone restricted. You can use it with dumb-phones. App just gives better/fancier service.
Stay Classy AT&T.
I love how there is no defense. Just calling an AT&T user a Troll.
Classy.
I have no issues as an AT&T user where I'm at... but I'm not in New York/SF/etc, so I can't confirm or deny those issues.
Re: More Windows Junk!!!
I love Android... and hate Linux.
I also don't want an Android tablet, I want a W7 computer.
The jury is still out on WM7. Microsoft don't do a good version 1. they do a slaming version 2.
Vista > 7.
XP SP0 > SP2.
etc..
they normally mess up release, then listen to customers and fix it.
True... but...
Why carry around a phone + FM player?
I *COULD* carry a flip phone, an iPod, a laptop/tablet, a FM player, a PDA... but why?
That's the whole reason to pay for a smart phone, honestly... Phone, internet, music, pda, etc... all in one device. It's the only reason I'll pay $30/month for it.
Hell... some of em are almost tablets/laptops.
It's not true.
I never listen to CD's or radio streams... I only listen to the radio.
So you are wrong.
I'd also never listen to Satellite radio. It doesn't have the same ambiance.
Since I don't listen to CD's, no one does... so the FCC should base their decision on my opinion.
8) just an FYI: There are plenty of people who listen to FM. FM doesn't "cost" data (As mentioned in article).
If you can't get unlimited data (cough AT&T), or don't want to pay ...
Samsung Captivate
It's what I'm holding out hope for.
Either it won't suck... or it'll suck but be root-able/customizable.
Well...
I used to work at Wal-Mart.
There are good people there. Don't get me wrong.
The problem is... the employee's are
1) not trained. phone sales is their secondary job.
2) have no incentive. Unless things have changed, they have zero reason to do an exceptional job. No commission = no care.
3) not the brightest. While they might be "good people", they generally aren't smart or motivated. Those who are get better paying jobs elsewhere.
There are smart, competent, motivated people at Wal-Mart... ...
When you trust trained monkeys...
this is what you get.
Clowns that aren't even mainly phone sales ppl... clowns that don't get commission.
This is *YOUR* fault for being that naive.
Expensive lesson learned.
I'm holding out hope for the Samsung Captivate.
Well... the main reason I'm on AT&T is my family is, and they have no change coming any time soon.
I'm also on contract for a little while longer.
I've heard good things about the new Samsung Android coming out. Root isn't that hard to get from what I hear, so it should be customizable to the level I want.
I shouldn't have to jailbreak an android
I don't have issue with AT&T cell phone coverage/service/customer service...
I have issue with sand boxed phones that "need" to be jailbroken.
I was hoping to avoid this with android but it doesn't seem to be in the cards
I was wrong... the article I read...
must have had old information... can't remember.
Still... all the reviews about this phone still says one thing: **** it.
Screw Dell. Screw AT&T. Screw the iPhone.
*Grumble*
F U AT&T. Seriously.
DRM is only for music.
but... 1.5... without Android Market...
no thank you.
F U AT&T.
Hrm... Android with DRM?
DRM "OMA DRM 1.0 with Forward Lock. Microsoft® Janus"
I want to be interested... but a phone with DRM baked in?
Doesn't mention version of Android either.
Why does AT&T seem determined to **** over Android?
Anyone try this phone out yet?
Green Orion Belly Dancer on my...
we diverge on that last word... "screen" is not where I want that green belly dancer *Cough* :twisted:
Captains Log
Star date... .. 2010 08 12... .. .
Nerds dream come true. Just wait until this gets incorporated into a case or skin that visualizes this effect.
I wouldn't update if you are Jailbroken.
Story says "nothing else was done".
This is to fix Jailbreaks. Remove it. Undo it. Block it.
If you update, your jailbreak *WILL* be gone.
If you are hell bent on upgrading, make sure your SHSH is backed up on Cydia. If you don't know what that is, Google it.
But really... there is *NO* reason to update your phone. Don't update it now. Don't update it to 4.1 until a new Jailbreak is released. If you update too soon you *WILL LOSE ...
contacts.google.com
Is now your friend. All high end phones sync with it now in some way.
Android does. iPhone does. I bet BB does.
Use that website to edit your contacts. Join different contacts into one person. Etc.
Wait..
You are with AT&T... paying $30 a month for *DATA*... and don't have a smartphone?
Either you have Texting + data on a non-smart phone... or you don't know what you have.
If you have a dumb-phone, tether might still be possible... but it's highly dependant on the phone, and not a good shot at success.
If you work at AT&T... then you know it *IS* possible.
Just not part of *YOUR* rulebook.
I pay atleast 30 for the phone... 30 for texting and 30 for data.
**** your "company line" that I have to pay another $20 after accepting an inferior service change.
It is possible.
*IF* you Jailbreak/root/etc.
To "pay" for the "privilege" of using data you already paid for via data charges you have to accept a limited plan with AT&T.
So either you pay more for less data *AND* pay to use that data outside of your phone...
Or you take advantage of the system.
Exactly... Which just proves
that bigger targets are what hackers go after.
Nothing about Apple products are "safer", just smaller target thus less hackers shooting at it.
Apple finally has a "big" target and just got headshot.
Re: disregard that!!! apparently i can't read!!!
lol had me worried for a second silly bear.
4.1 will...
plug a hole...
While another one gets exploited.
Nothing new. Jailbreakers will just have to wait to upgrade until an exploit is found.
Wrong: Jailbreakme.com is *NEW* and works with 401.
Every update tries to kill jailbreak / unlocks...
Every update is jail broken again.
Aug 1st was the release date for Jailbreakme.com. AFAIK it didn't exist before then.
I'm on 4.01 and I re-jailbroke my phone with that website exploit.
It's no different from other crack/fix setups - Wii, DS, XBOX, etc... people crack, company fixes, people crack again... I think the only one remotely successful atm is the PS3.
Apple might be making it harder in some respects to jailbreak/unlock *BUT* they have ...
What's not good about it? Whoever said that is stupid.
I wouldn't live without a jailbroken phone.
SBSettings, MyWi, AdBlock... those three alone.
http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/2 010/03/08/sbsettings-actually-makes-your-ipho ne-better/
http://rockyourphone.com/index. php/mywi.html
Then you add Installous (install "paid" apps for free, to try them *Wink*), ring tones, etc
Unless you think that Daddy Jobs is needed to protect you from "unauthorized apps" that work better than stock iPhone apps... and that "protection" is a good thing.
Or if you consider paying $20/month for "tethering" to use data you ALREADY over-pay for...
Use *YOUR* phone the way *YOU* want too.
