Hey! My little brother's retarded! Don't use that word in a derogatory fashion!

"threat of headless government." like zombies? That's a threat! good thing i have my shotgun/flamethrower at hand.

This was a disaster waiting to happen. Google tried to go from 0 to 60 in their android development, and did not properly consider the ramifications of their design decisions. Now we have
1) an insecure OS that provides all sorts of information to any app
2) unfiltered app stores that allow any malware to be posted and purchased
3) poorly designed NFC system.

As a result,, ALL NFC systems are less safe thanks to these android design decisions. Way to go, Goog.

I agree... I have an lg optimus V on VMo which is okay but nothing too special. it's slow and makes calls. I hate the app store and don't trust it not to get malware. one of the programs i downloaded is a game called "plumber" in which you align pipes to move water from start to finish... it has banner ads that are apparently tied to keywords... because all of the ads are for plumbing supplies! targeted advertising ftw!

Hopefully if windows phone 8 comes out, the windows phone seven like the Nokia lumia will be available on pre paid carriers like vmo.

Some of us slashdotters ARE women, you insensitive clod!

Bahaha "seven inch is too small. Must be at least eight inch!" that's what she said.

I'm not surprised that they're going to 7" because they need to get out of the ipad shadow. it's a couple reasons - 1) they can't achieve comparable quality at the same price point as the ipad, 2) apple has gobbled up all the components.

The problem is that in the fall apple is releasing an ipad mini which will dominate the 7" space as well. if google is true to form then their announcement this evening will be "look what we're releasing in a couple months" while apple is usually "look what is now available at the apple store."

so in short, good luck to google because i know people there and they try real hard, but they're going to need it!

Wow thats a good idea. Caanybody else try this and say if it works? I have an iPhone so I don't know.

Although, fatal flaw: what if you don't have a mirror nearby when you want to use your phone?

Another way that samsungs are inferior to iPhones. Apple products don't offer that feature. Pin or slide to unlock only. I'm mwaiting for Siri unlock capability. My voice is my passport. Verify!

what's WWJ? I know WWN, the weekly world news. bastion of investigative journalism, especially about batboy.

Typical slashdot. The guy made an insightful point supported by cler evidence, to which others might find controversial or hate on due to their own prejudices. THe slashdot monoculture is truly ruining this site.

I like the phrase "opwn Wi-Fi". Your open wifi just got pwned!

you're holding it wrong!
