Huh?, Gingebread has always been up to date. Only Honeycomb, which accounts for about 1% of devices did not have its source released.

Tablets offer a better user experience for media consumption, they are lighter, thinner and have longer battery life than most, if not all laptops currently available .

Stick to your clamshells, eventually you'll catch on.

Companies are starting to notice people are willing to pay money not only for in game items, but also for perks that used to come in the form of cheat codes. So users are being given the choice to either spend hours unlocking stuff through gameplay or pay up to unlock them immediately.

Gameloft is one of the worst offenders, Modern Combat 3, which is a clear ripoff of the CoD Modern Warfare series allows users to purchase kill streak rewards with real cash.

Worst thing is, they've only just started to figure this stuff out, give it a couple years... we, as gamers are screwed.

I'd turn that one right around. My 3 year old Nokia N95 lasts longer tethering data to my laptop than my 3GS does on standby, and from what I've seen the iPhone 4 isn't much better. Does a 4S even last the day?

While I will concede the data in the chart is technically correct, it is designed to make it look like all iPhone models were up to date 3 years after release (through creative use if the term "major version"), which simply isn't true, the last version of iOS with support for the iPhone 3G came out just over 2 years after it was released, and even then it was running a crippled down version with no support for multitasking APIs.

So that chart lies from the get go. Plus, Android being Open Source allows users to port newer versions to older devices as long as they're powerful enough to run them.

Never, if you know how it works you'll know how to game it, 99% of results will belong to spammers.

Well they better get paid up front instead of per search, IE users switch straight back to Google, what do they think FF users will do?

No need to resort to hurtful language. Fact is users with the Bing toolbar searched on Google and the results from Google showed up on Bing, period.

Multi touch wasn't invented by Apple, the UI showcase in Minority Report is pretty much mandatory viewing for anyone interested in HCI.

I'm curious why they didnt how the other prototype... You know, the one that looks quite a bit like most Android phones today only in red.

Fear mongering headlines followed by outright lies in the summaries, and people eat it up...

4.0 is 3.0 with support for small devices, the source for Honeycomb was withheld to stop developers from attempting to shoehorn it into phones and make fragmentation worse than it already is. The first Honeycomb devices started to come out during February/March, which is hardly "almost a year".

Really? Because last I checked the source code of ever major version not named honeycomb had been released.

If they ever decide to stop releasing the source, self entitled trolls like you still have no right to complain: They've released more OS source code than Apple and Microsoft combined ever will.

As far as Honeycomb goes it has been explained to death that it was a quick fix to get Android on tablets, ICS is essentially Honeycomb with phone support, they've gone on record to say the source will be released, and it'll likely be out in a month or two, so take it easy.

That's a shame you;re missing out, It's really good!, you can almost feel the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........
