* white label tablets. Presumably built and sold in China, elsewhere.
White label tablets are sold in China, but also everywhere else. Rebranded as Aldi / Staples / Wal-Mart or what have you.
We need to recognize that premium android might as well be a different OS than white label android. The apps will be different, the languages will be different, the monetization will be different, the fragmentation will be different.
What are you talking about? I have a white-box Chinese Android tablet. It came with Android 4.2, gmail, Play store, google maps, etc. All of the no-name (Aldi Branded / Walmart / etc) tablets I've seen are the same.
For all intensive purposes premium android is as removed from white label android as it is from kindle.
Totally incorrect. The cheaper manufacturers actually provide a better android experience as they're using 'pure' android rather than putting shitty touch-wiz / sense style overlays & attempting to sign you up for a million stupid Samsung / etc services.
Oh - and you say "for all intents and purposes". Think about it. Intensive purposes makes no sense in the context this phrase is typically used in.
without clicking on a UID, you have to take a person's word for it. I'm a TWO DIGIT ID poster left on Slashdot.
(So you're still right.)
... you simply have to take someone's word for it, unless you click on his UID [yet another thing that Beta gets wrong].
As for Tasmania, almost 50% of the entire state is currently world heritage listed.
Are you sure about that? Closer to 20% it would seem.
I don't think de-listing a fraction of a percent of that
A fraction of a percent? They're de-listing ~74000 hectares of 1.4 million. Thats closer to 20%.
...is going to cause much damage.
You can't even get basic facts right & you expect people to believe your assessment of what will cause much damage? Even by slashdot standards, you're a fuckwit.
In or out of hot grits?
I can't see how Wiki has all that much leverage.
Looking at the list of most popular websites, I think only facebook & youtube would have more influence on video-standards settings.
When did you last see someone turn down one Smartphone for another because it couldn't play a wiki video?
Never, but it can add to a list of small frustrations, getting a user to switch manufacturers next contract renewal. You don't have to be the sole reason for a change to have leverage over manufacturers.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
