wow awesome, i never even looked into this! and yes i'm on eden.

many thanks!

while the specs for decoding video are AWESOME (especially for the price point), what I continually point out to people is that the low CPU can still kill you on some things. I have an NVIDIA ION / Atom D330 HTPC that can destroy the 40Mbps x264 killasample absolutely no problem, yet has trouble on some of the even medium-flashy skins for XBMC.

like i said, performance/dollar this thing is still awesome, but you do still have to think of the whole package.

i have a nexus S from a carrier - grabbed it, ROM'd it (back to vanilla), saved a few hundred bucks. I can understand not wanting to get sucked into a 2yr agreement, but this is something i personally have no problem with since i'll be with them for 2 yrs anyhow.

"not right for everyone" - maybe
"plain stupid" - take it easy, man.

more importantly, i'd like to see an article on "why your data's 30YO stereo sounds better than yours....and why you don't care"

Ever since the loudness war started, fidelity doesn't matter since the source material has been compromised.

i slightly agree with you, though i do find it to be a serious PITA to have to unencrypt every time i want to get something - do you use any other apps to handle that for you?

also, how big is your volume? the one i throw on there is only a few megs, but i can imagine the sadness that will occur once it stretches to a few hundred megs and has to be up/downed every time to sync something....any advice for that?

man, what a bunch of bullshit. Android is the software, and has NOTHING to do with the hardware problems they may have.

This is like saying "windows machines have more hardware problems than linux machines."

I am an iphone user, had a galaxy S previously, and I understand what they are saying - but don't throw mud on HTC's hardware when you're really talking about some shitty kyocera handset that happens to run android 1.1!

no, reader is web-based - so basically instead of clicking a folder, you click on your reader tab for those 10 seconds....but yeah, i get what you're saying.

do you have anything against google reader? i used to hate it but when i moved to chrome i decided to give it a fair chance, and haven't looked back.

(i know that doesn't exactly answer your question, but...)

the wavelength is ~3mm (95ghz)
that better be some SWEET chain mail to have that kind of coverage.

you mean MS sharepoint browser?

seriously, its like they design it NOT to work with the other ones...
