The iPhone is still only 3G and their 3G network isn't going anywhere.

I wonder if this is just a bit too late. It seems that Samsung has surpassed Sony as the everywhere premium electronics brand Sony was in the 90's.

Not just poster and print ads, but in the US I've seen Chrome ads on prime time TV.

I think they're trying to wipe out the bottom of the budget market with that one.

Hopefully they'll at least have a dev mode. Unless something has changed, you have to root your device and manually enable sideloading on the Nook Color to test you apps, even if you are an accepted developer.

Can't say I really care for that at all. It's not 2003 any more. Modern devices have the horsepower to rerender pages if needed. I hope there's a way to turn that off. I really don't want Amazon mucking around with my web browsing.

The ad-free version is still the same as the Nook Touch.

Actually the Kindle Touch is $139 without ads(the same as the Nook Touch). It's their new low end $79 Kindle that is $109 without ads.

You seem to have missed the last part of that:

They're similar and in a couple years RHEL will resemble Fedora today, but by that point Fedora will be quite different too.

They should go back to a freely downloadable, but unsupported version. Compared to enterprise level support from other vendors(Unix, Windows, etc) I don't think their pricing is that bad, but an easily accessible free version with no support would alleviate the headaches of waiting for CentOS and others to keep up. Fedora is nice, but it's too far removed from the main Red Hat release and can be unstable.

It seems that Google is looking at buying it too, which I'm hoping for since they're much more likely to open things up.

Why are they trying to make amends? This is Oracle, hasn't splitting communities and driving projects into the ground been working out great for everything they got from Sun?

I guess this is further confirmation that Oracle doesn't care to do much hardware stuff outside high end SPARC stuff.

Lack of free firmware(I need Tomato) is the reason I'm still on 802.11g in my home. I have an WRT54G as the main router and an ASUS WL-520GU creating a wireless bridge to the living room.
