Sure but theres nothing stopping him slinging on a full GPS app like CoPilot onto the Nexus - that stashes all maps on the SD card.

That assumes some identifying information is being sent over to the person montioring the scanner - from the example images released I can't imagine anyone being able to identify their own mother from the picture let alone Harrison Ford...

However, "touchscreen not as accurate as iPhone" != "Shitty touchscreen". In a lot of ways I prefer the screens on the current crop of Android phones. Based on limit experience I've not noticed any difference in sensitivity in real world use, but prefer the higher res and image quality on the newest Android phones.

Published by Sega - the new one is being developed by the same dev house as the first, Rebellion \o/

Bear in mind this is the third PC iteration of Alien Vs Predator. The first was a good few years ago but (despite relatively primitive graphics by the standards of the day) was a superb FPS game. Piss scary and bastard hard in places too.

The sequel was a bit more mainstream, so not as hard but had a few innovations in too, such as the Alien game starting you out as a facehugger looking for an appropriate victim, then giving it the chestburster bit and so on.

Anyway, the first game came from the same dev house as this one, and I for one am really looking forward to it, not matter how fecking awful the movies one (although as somone else mentioned at least the sequel was appropriately violent :)

Not to mention the renting option - and a few places I've seen will generally discount a game by the price of the rental if you subsequently buy it.

Crap, other way round - we have slightly more channels open than you do, so you'd only really need to worry about it if you need to connect on something broadcasting on 12 or 13.

From what I recall the legal channels for wireless differ between the US and the UK. In the US (I think) channels 1-13 are legally available, while in the UK it's only 1-11. TBH I wouldn't bother changing anything especially as the routers OP will be connecting to will only be broadcasting in the legal range anyway :)

Myself and two colleagues banded together and ordered 3 from NewIT a couple of weeks ago. Delivery time was around 20 hours after order placed.

I've just recently bought one of these - I've not done much more than install Debian and a LAMP server on it thus far but have come away thoroughly impressed with the kit. All the magical incantations you need to a) set the device up to boot from SD card and b) install debian to said SD card can be found here. In my case I needed to follow the instructions to update the u-boot system on the plug, but I presume by now they are shipping with the updated ROM in place.

Long term I intend to offload torrenting and streaming duties to the plug, attaching it to a NAS for storage... I have a few other ideas in mind additional to this, which may or may not require additional plugs, but at a cost of around £90 it's no great hardship :)

My year-old E71 uses Micro-USB, as does my finacee's E75...

But here in the UK Android seems to be picking up momentum - theres finally some choice in handsets available (a few from HTC and a few others inbound from the likes of Sony and Samsung). While the initial G1 OS was a bit clunky the cupcake (1.5) update improved things a lot.

Speaking anecdotally, half a dozen of my friends have recently upgraded their phones (as in the past month). Five of them picked Android (3 Magic's and two Hero's) while the other went for a Nokia. Of course I also know more than a few iPhone fans as well.

Speaking personally, this Nokia user will be looking at Android very closely when its time to upgrade at the start of next year.

From what we saw while Sam Worthington plays a dude in a wheelchair than it hooked up with one of these avatars, there are others that have normal mobility that use them as well - Sigourney Weaver's character for a start

I'm with you on this - I was pretty much blown away by what I saw - the 3D was extremely well done, and so what if the story is apparantly Dances With Wolves in a SciFi setting? Besides as mentioned more than once above, Cameron and Sci-Fi have a long and successful history together. Personally, I can't wait to see the finished article...

I think he is referring to performance - theres a more than noticable hit on the performance of a netbook utilising full disk encryption (I read a couple of benchmarks suggesting it was in the region of 10-20%). YMMV as to whether its worth the hit for the security of what you want to store on the Eee
