You are talking about BlackBerry.
I've moved to Android, but there's no denying that RIM have got integrated communications right.

Mod parent ironic.

I second this.

I used to use PartitionMagic in the past, never liked Ghost, and when I would regularly used Windows (a while ago) found the Acronis tools to be the best.

I had to do a couple of things on a friends machine and Google brought up Easeus.
Works brilliantly.

I don't blame him, I would be hesitant of committing to shipping such a demanding, immersive application with the same performance on Android as can be delivered on iOS.

I got modded down the last time I tried mentioning this, but as someone currently making an income from Android development:

Android audio is a MESS.
Even if it improves anytime soon, not all devices will be getting OS upgrades.
Other unresolved issues I've mentioned are why fragmentation is becoming a more and more valid criticism of the platform.
And to any fanboys with modpoints, I'm not a shill, I took a gamble investing my time in learning yet another platform, and I have to deal with these frustrations every day.

SD card slot. I'll complain about that.
I haven't seen any one else make a note of it, so I will.
The SD card slot is missing from the 11".

This is actually a really big deal for me.
I have held off purchasing a newer netbook form-factor machine to see if Apple would deliver something and save me from building yet another hackintosh.

I can swallow the cost, it's the same as you'd pay for a similarly well-built HP like the 510x, once you've included SSD and screen upgrades. And it's designed to run OS X, so I don't have to worry about keeping my system up and running across reboots as if it was Windows or Linux, as is the case with a hackintosh.

So I watched the stream and waited patiently for the unveiling and it seemed to deliver.
But I figured Apple must have gimped it somehow, there had to be something that left a bitter taste.
Check the website and sure enough, no SD card slot on the 11".
No neat integration for booting from cards Windows/Linux/etc like I do for my netbooks.
I just cannot believe the engineers were unable to make it fit.
I would have to carry a card reader now, use up one of two USB ports.
I can even imagine Jobs saying "Netbooks have SD card slots. Lose it on the netbook sized Air and it definitely can't be called a netbook."
I can't think of a machine this size that doesn't have one since the Eee was released.

Perhaps I'm silly to make this a deciding factor in my purchase.
Perhaps I'd be silly buying a Rev.A Apple product anyway.

Triple whoosh! All the way!
Whoa! That's so intense!
Whooooooaaa-oh my god!
Wow! Woooooooooooo!

This!!

As well as crap interaction, the UI objects are damn ugly, and don't scale nicely.
Date and time together don't fit on a single line of a regular screen.
After using the iOS UIDatePicker I thought the Android offering was a joke.

The first time I read the API docs I was convinced it must be a joke.
I scrolled around expecting it to say:
"Obviously, developers should be using class X in preference to this steaming mess."

There is absolutely no consistency between the DatePicker and TimePicker classes.
The DateView takes its listener in an init method (WHY??), the TimeView has a set method.
The DateView is updated with a single call (or when you want to set the listener LOL), the TimeView has separate methods to set hours, minutes and AM/PM.

Actually making use of them is a massive headache.
Come on guys, I probably want to handle my date/timestamp in UTC and as a localized string, at a bare minimum.
It's pointless building on what's in the API because it doesn't even work properly!
Time.format doesn't implement strftime options correctly, with no information about what is actually supported at all from the man page it refers you to. At least developers on Windows won't be misled.

App development for Android takes extra work handling these sort of things, because even if things are fixed in future versions not all devices will get the upgrade.
The issue of fragmentation becomes more serious when such basic elements of the platform are left neglected for so long. This should have been put right after the first public release at the latest.

Conspiracy theory? OK here goes:

The Tesla Roadster is not particularly innovative.
It is simply the lightest sports car chassis available (the Lotus Elise) loaded with 7000 laptop batteries.
Anyone could have done this, given the up-front investment.
This investment was relatively small, due to the minimal R&D and manufacturing capability required.
Even the initial drivetrain design was licenced from AC Propulsion.

With just over 1200 Roadsters delivered, Tesla has negligible sales for the conventional auto industry.
However, a price tag of $100,000 after tax rebates positions the Roadster in the supercar market, notwithstanding that Lotuses are among the cheapest performance cars, selling for a quarter of the price of the Tesla.

This strategy has created a company with over $120million revenue in under 5 years.
Tesla created a strong enough brand to secure a $465million loan from the DoE, enabling them to buy the NUMMI plant shut down by Toyota last year.

While building their brand profile by assembling Roadsters from existing technology and not losing money on them, Tesla has raised nearly $200million in investment and have been developing their own EV technology.
The drivetrains that will be produced at NUMMI are not based on the technology in the Roadster, they are new designs to be used in the Tesla Model S Sedan, the MkII RAV4 EV and other unannounced Toyota EVs.

So the government stimulates the creation of jobs and the cars of the future, and Toyota gets its old factory turned into an electric drivetrain plant for just $60million, courtesy of the ATVM Loan Program.

Sounds like everyone's a winner.
Well, either that or DeLorean all over again.

I pay $39.99/month including taxes for "T-Mobile Total Internet Voice Bar".

Unlimited data (I have regularly exceeded 1GB a month, and occasionally much higher when tethering).
SMS is enabled, but charged at $0.12 each. I don't use it anyway.
Voice calling is barred.

I bought a Nexus One at launch, and I have free incoming and outgoing voice and text courtesy of Google Voice.
I have a free SIPgate account to give me a number to forward GV to. I also have a Gizmo5 account, which is better integrated with GV, but introduces higher latency to voice calls and has noticeably poorer call quality.

I now also run Skype on the handset, as do my family abroad. No more international call charges.
I have a predictable phone bill every month, which is all I ever wanted.

Verizon Android phones that do not have "Droid" branding are locked to Bing search.
Switching from Bing to e.g. Google is not possible without a ROM flash.
It is possible to install all the Google apps for voice search and maps, but Bing is cooked into the ROM as the default.

It's the result of a complicated mess of agreements between Google, LucasFilm, Microsoft, Motorola and Verizon.
I have heard that Verizon got $500m up front for the Bing deal, and/or $2 per handset shipped.

You might note that Microsoft are suing only Motorola over Android patents, not HTC or even Google.
The official line is that all the other companies are licensing patents from Microsoft, but Motorola are not.
The fact is, Motorola is the only Android handset manufacturer who has not announced a Windows Phone 7 device.
Food for thought.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about the existence of Techdirt.
Fortunately, samzenpus and an anonymous reader are here to let us know about this "science" story.
If you want detailed info on the previous story about Mexico and ACTA, you won't find that at the linked site either.
Posted from different "dept."s on each site though. Editors in full effect!

Slightly different, I installed the Nook application from the Android Market, which is only available in the US.
When abroad, I changed my US SIM for my UK SIM and Nook erased itself.
It could be some kind of coincidental bug, but that's my impression of what happened.

Ministry of Sound is still one of the better clubs in London, especially with the closure of Matter, so they are still providing a venue for shows, clubs, raves, etc. The better promoters prefer Fabric as it's not as "corporate" as the others.
The brand itself has been diluted to worthlessness. You can get MoS branded alarm clocks and iPod docks FFS.
The label, while being the biggest indie label in the world, just churns out compilations - The Annual, Best of Happy Hardcore volume 40 etc.
The company does still release credible records, but they are all on imprints like Hed Kandi and particularly Data Records. Eric Prydz is at the top of his game, and Example is riding high in the charts.
Palumbo is a businessman, and that he would jump on the opportunity to screw a few more pennies out of file-sharers doesn't surprise me in the least.

Lol Cubase a real DAW.
