...but the biggest part of the lawsuit against Samsung specifically has been over TouchWiz, which isn't associated with adding an "Android cost" at all, since it's only Samsung's UI deal. Apple has also gone after HTC, and one wonders if they just expected an easier resolution in the wake of the Microsoft/HTC licensing agreement. Nokia sues Apple and gets counter-sued right back. Mainly, it's THE sector of computing showing exponential growth, so alla them big companies gonna be leveraging for position. And that means lawsuits be flyin', yo.

Northern Jersey-ite here, and my main experience has been fine on both Verizon and AT&T. There was a stretch of 206 where I ALWAYS lost signal, but I've had no ALWAYS-losses when moving to AT&T. I actually had a better random dropped-call rate for a while, too, but that got a bit worse over time so I'd say I'm under-par now. Perhaps I should blame too many iPhone users coming aboard? ;-)

My brother's down south more, and he de-rezzes on Verizon while on the road quite a lot as well. On the whole, they seem rather the same, and you'll mainly lose out if the very local geography of "your house" or "where you work" or "where you spend a lot of time" is fuxxed.

No, he's right! MACs do tend to be used by the two extremes of the user community! The newbies don't even know what Media Access Controls are, and life their lives blissfully unaware. The power-users are involved in MAC spoofing, and all sorts of other MAC-related activity, to haxx0r your boxx0r!

You see? It all makes sense!

That's still where the majority of PC gamers can handle things well, too. (Their hardware may be newer than the consoles, but DX9 is still the majority support, and they have higher resolutions to cover.) The real questions is if the developer is even INTERESTED in targetting higher-performance hardware with unique features, or if they mainly want to use it to be "slightly shinier" and hit better framerates.
