The landscape will look very different by year's end.
This can be said at any point since the invention of the cell phone. These are the facts as of today, and those are the ones that matter in a purchasing decision.
Most years, the networks in the U.S. don't change that much. This year is HUGE, though, and basing a purchasing decision on things right now would be a gigantic mistake.
the test is done every year
Nevertheless, right now, this year, it's an especially bad time for it, as it gives a very misleading idea of what's going on. Most years you don't see much change, but 2013 is going to be a big turning point.
Did you do a speedtest?
T-Mobile's LTE roll-out is about to get serious, and they claim they'll have around 200 million people in the U.S. covered by the end of the year (with rumors of my beloved Seattle area getting it by the end of this month). Sprint's LTE roll-out is also chugging along.
The landscape will look very different by year's end.
If they've upped their standards and don't like motels, we'll have to increase our efforts, and create roach B&Bs.
Didn't Heinlein predict this as what people did to mimic the Howard families longevity? I think he wrote about it in "Time Enough For Love"
Yes, in that and other books.

Much as there was room for the Kindle e-reader, and still is. That's not to say that it's a good idea for consumers to get locked in to whatever method Amazon will use to entice people to buy THEIR box to consume content from them. But don't assume they won't sell a crap ton of these - they're Amazon.
Just sweep it all into the Trash Bin, breathe deep, and move on with your life confident in the impermanence of all things.
Plus that Trash Bin program has _great_ compression!
If you want a framework for it, check out Express: http://expressjs.com/
node.js may not be what you want or need for your particular application, but it's getting a lot of buzz. I've not used Express at all, so I have no valid opinion on its quality.
his clientele probably consists of Microsoft employees
It's a mix of barflies, techno peasants from Amazon, MS and Google (among others), and hipsters. Lots of people there take pix with their cellphones ALL THE TIME, and I've never seen anyone get so much as a "talking to" about it, much less get their ass kicked.
Whoops!
NO HARLEM SHUFFLE!
And Apple were right. Merging in a patch that breaks Webkit is utterly wrong. If Google had been serious about the fix they would have patched the bug and also all the places in Webkit that they had then broken. Instead Google followed their usual route - a half-assed change that only works for them. Google is the new Microsoft: embrace, extend
You seem to have misread the parenter's description of the problem, and are possibly also confusing WebKit with Safari. He said there was a bug in WebKit which *Safari* relied on. Apple refused to fix the bug in Safari, and refused to accept Google's WebKit bug fixes. This, if true, is COMPLETELY a problem with Apple, not Google.
SD cards are going away on phones. They are slow and lead to customer complaints. Besides USB on the Go basically obsoletes them. Removable batteries mean a battery door. This makes the phone thicker.
Personally neither is a deal killer.
"slow and lead to customer complaints" smells like phone company bullshit.
