Both HTC Incredible and HTC Evo are great phones. Thanks for the surgery doc! Awesome job.

Guess that answers my question about getting an AT&T 4G iPhone as a new customer. Ouch!

I wonder how many Netflix streams I'll be able to watch without breaking the bank and worrying if I went over my plan rate every day. The iPad touted Netflix and YouTube to no end and now this happens?

Yeah, love Motorola's CEO..... awesome dude. Much better than "that guy" from the fruit company.

Re: Google Flips Remote Kill-Switch on Android Apps

Google really needs to clean up the Android Market and establish a process that prevents apps that violate the policies established by Google before even allowing the developer to post their wares in the Android Market. I'm currently browsing the Android Market and all I have to say "What an unholy mess". There's no match up as to what is on the Android Market when viewing on your PC and the Android Market when viewing on the phone. A case in point. Amazon MP3 shows up when looking at the Android Market on your PC, but go to the Android Market on your mobile and it's not there, just Amazon Mobile. The other feature on what I describe as a very featureless app store is the fact you have to scroll down a long list of crapware made by a vendor who decided to make a hundred apps. I don't want to have to scroll down long lists from the same vendor's crapware when I want to search for an item. Also, relevance.... Android Market is horrid for relevance in search. I really don't want to see hot 3D chicks and wallpapers when I specifically asked for 3D games. This is where Google just sucks. No organization just all over the damned place with no consistency and relevance. Aggravating!

Re: Is Android 3.0 Gingerbread already out in the wild?

By the time any Incredible, Droid X or Evo user sees 2.2, 3.0 will be released. Kind of ridiculous.

Re: Android Smartphones Outsell iPhone in First Half of 2010

yeomandroid — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:49:04 -0000

I wouldn't move over to the iPhone 4 even if Apple paid me to do it and even if I got free service from Verizon. To me it's a matter of having a decent smartphone that works like it should (unlike the buggy iPhone 4). By the time iPhone goes over to a far better carrier than AT&T, I'd expect to see the HTC Scorpion and the latest of Motorola's offerings of a 2.5GHz Android phone. The iPhone 4 will be a forgotten relic by 2011.

Re: Google Brings Voice Calling to Gmail

yeomandroid — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:32:53 -0000

I love it!!! Call quality is excellent and now I'm just waiting to see Google Voice, Google Talk and Google SMS get integrated into an awesome all-inclusive package. I usually just experiment and forget every time a new or great invention comes along, but I've actually been using the phone call feature in Gmail when on my puter and Google Voice when dialing a call from my Incredible. I love the fact that I can get a text and/or voice message from my home phone straight to my cell phone without having to call and put in codes. This is where Google really shines.

Re: Google Improves Realtime Search

yeomandroid — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:46:22 -0000

So besides the alert feature and geographical selection for threads, alerts, etc. which I don't think is that new at all. I am not seeing any improvements and really no change from just going over to the left column and clicking on updates. For some reason I thought by typing in a word in the search engine window that it would automatically populate my browser with hits. At least that's what I noticed in the video. Now that would be a cool feature worth having, whatever the Google realtime does now, is not that impressive. One up for Bing! :-(

Finally, life can be brought to those touch screen x86 systems relying on the useless Windows 7 and older systems touch interface. I like the fact my investments in MS Office, etc. are kept and I don't have to re-boot through VM.

More crappy Nokia phones, and Microsoft's kludge known as Windows, that's a perfect marriage in a world that doesn't need multiple derelict children. But here it comes.

Re: Google Chromebook Introduces New Security Risks Says Kaspersky | ITProPortal.com

I've owned Kaspersky products and I have to tell you, by far their products are very invasive and bog your system down so bad that it makes your computer experience a complete misery. The lack of support is pretty bad too. Sorry, I don't agree with this article. Chromebooks are the way to go if you don't want to keep upgrading your Kaspersky Antivirus account and software. That's beauty of Chromebooks, bah bye Kaspersky, Norton, McAffee, etc. Finally!

yeah, do magical things like watch video through your .7 megapixel camera. Android hardware far surpasses anything Apple has to offer right now and in the near future. Does Apple have 3D games? No! Just one of many examples, Apple does not have the advantage over Android. Plus, many user don't want to be locked to iTunes for purchases and downloads. At least with Android you get to experience the web the way it was meant to be!!

that's it? doesn't seem like much of an improvement. by the time ice cream sandwich rolls out iOS5 will still be good ways out. heck, android might be doing 4D games, videos and pics by then. :-)

Apple is not the infallible king of everything you know. Every OS and phone has had its issues. The truth be told, iOS is pretty robust but the iPhone has its issues hardware wise. Android phones are technologically more advanced but the Android OS and Market need to get its act together.

5 GB of cloud storage is a joke. Google gives you 7 GB for free if you have a Google account. If you have a business account you get 25 GB for one year at $50.00. Not great, but not bad considering what Apple has intentions of doing once you break the 5 GB barrier which is easily done with iTunes songs, movies, books, etc. Get ready to shell out some big bucks for Apple's iCloud coming this fall to blot out your sunshine.
