HTC makes the G1 dude.....

... as the saying goes: "all publicity is good publicity"

Just look at paris hilton! What did the 'infamous' sex tape do to her? Shot her popularity through the roof!

I know you are joking, but actually there is an application that emulates cut/copy and paste on the iPhone :P It's called iCopy

The Office Application you have to pay for. VoIP is actually available, but not a mainstream client. Bluetooth does not have A2DP nor does it have full profile support. You got me there (although you can get an A2DP adapter for less than 20 bucks)

Everything else you want you can get by jailbreaking your iPhone and installing via Cydia or Installer.

Argh! I didn't want to post anon :(

Have you ever used the AppStore?! I have an iPhone, and have a buddy who has a G1. He has never paid for an application, and I have only bought two the entire time I had an iPhone - and both were 99c. Everything you could ever want is avaliable for free.. aside from games that is. SSH Clients, VNC Clients, RDP clients, simple games, todo lists - name it!

If I recall correctly, the self-build versions of Android cannot connect to the app-store. Although still lacking in many areas, the app-store is one of the biggest selling points for Android. Without it, you arn't able to easily add your own applications - a major no-no if you want this to be mainstream. This will fix itself once we get Google-built and signed firmware images for different netbooks.

I'm all for hacking stuff for the whole 'because we can' mentality, but why reinvent the wheel? Why not use something like Ubuntu Netbook Remix - which already does everything Android can do + more. If you want to get Linux more in the mainstream market, let's try to refine what we already have, and leave the netbook version of Android to the professionals - aka Google.

Alcohol. The cause AND solution of all of mankind's problems :)

Posting to fix wrong mod. Sorry :(

You racist bastard. Africanamerican-mail you insensitive clod!

"I am being forced to sell my Computer to pay rent, paid $6000 new, and have added $2000 in upgrades, I will let go for just $4000 to the first lucky person to bring cash. Thanks to Vista, this model is very difficult to come by, it comes preloaded with over $1000 worth of software."

My loss is your gain.

There fixed that for ya!

Have you SEEN the new MacBook Pro screens? I recently switched to a Mac - and I am still amazed at how crisp it is. It probably has something to do with the LED backlighting.

The MacBook looks really nice too - apparently the screens are different quality though. I'm far from a Apple fanboy btw.

I beg to differ. Batteries to iPod/iPhone's are what gasoline is to a car. Gasoline powers the hardware (aka engine, powertrain) of the car, just like batteries power the circuits of the iPod/iPhone.

With your kind of thinking - nothing is really yours.

Car Analogy time. You buy a brand new porsche. You don't bitch because you can't put a Honda engine in your porsche. It was never designed to hold a Honda engine.

Apple doesn't want/didn't design the iPhone/iPod to run certain applications - and you can't hold that against them.

Hiro Nakamura... is that you?
