I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?
Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.
yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

yeah really
also is that picture of yours gordon freeman?
look at nexus mod...
and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

this the only thing that made me believe it:

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

Actually, having two teens with Heros and my Evo, that porn all over the market is the one thing I DON'T like.....at all. It's ridiculuos how much is on there now!!

There is a whole lot more of it on www.google.com/images "insert search string here" especially after you turn safe search off. Not to mention pornotube or whatever the hell all the you tube equivalents are. I'd say the least of the worries is the mostly soft stuff in the market.

But I agree. I don't like all the **** on the Market, it just makes Android look bad.

nice vid but old
Its funny cause before I got my EVO I never used Android just winmo. I heard about porn on Android but I don't really see it at all..
I know funny I guess I'm searching wrong or something. Even using the browser most web sites are designed for full browser..I dunno maybe I just need to research better.
Funny Vid!
Maybe they should set up age ratings then put some parental controls on there. Just have it be user or developer rated, so it's still "open"
That might keep the kiddies safe and might give developers more encouragement to make mature violent porn filled games for me(I would love Duke Nukem for android!).
Now that I think about it I havn't seen one game I would say was a M rating for android
No, android is for porn, especially the evo, check this out!

Ya, but it doesn't need to made easy for them. You really think it is responsible to make it easy. Android needs to have an adult section. Besides the fact developers are spamming the crap out of the market with the all the porn crap. Everytime I look and see what's new, 50% of it is new porn. Look at sowallpaper.com, he/she is the king of spam!
Good Review.

Lol i think he is right on most things XD He talks in an interesting way so i kept listening
lol at the notification ringtone, sounds like someone taking a wee!!!
bwaghahahahhh, that was funny. This guy is pretty good. I'd have to agree with the presentation being very bland and lacking passion. And please, no more JK Shin on the stage, at least to give a long talk like he did. Like the video said, im sure he did a lot of work but It totally takes away from the experience.
You just made me watch some other episodes. I found this one hilarious as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPVBgrYCxyg
This one is even funnier! and it's from the same guy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=nriv8Kp6K1A
lol ****, I love that kid, that was funny as hell! Thanks for posting.
I totally agree, Samsung could have done a better job at introducing the phone. Nice and funny review!
I'll watch any video that dude makes now. He hilarious. "I'm going to use Google Chrome because people who use other browsers are stupid." LOL awesome.

I have no problem with JK Shin. I had no problem understanding what he was saying (and english is not my first language). Actually, he was better than everyone else at that presentation, honestly. God, how can Loesje be the head of marketing at Samsung? ><
I love the device, but that presentation was 'bizarre'
some true words from this guy
Steve jobs could have taken that one feature(wireless charging) and sell millions of phones using it

Funny as....

It is kind of sad because for some it will probably take focus away from how awesome this phone actually is. And it's also kind of mind blowing that they don't spend the resources needed to make the presentation perfect. There must be some management issues.
Yes it could be better... a lot more.
I'm sure we all know what a Zoe is by now, but I thought I'd share with you a few of the Zoe highlights that I've found which have been uploaded to Zoe Share.
http://htcsource.com/2013/02/htc-zo...irst-zoe-highlights-are-shared-among-friends/
I can't wait to get my HTC One to create Zoe's. If you happen to spot any other Zoe Share links on twitter or facebook, please share them here.
Thanks.
If Zoe catches on with masses it could be a complete gamechanger for HTC. I mean it is pretty cool and the fact that u really don't need yo do anything for it to do its thing leads me to believe its got a chance of making a difference BIG TIME.

When did society become so open, so voyeuristic, so enamored with the idea that everyone else in the world really gives a damn what you did today or any other day? It has happened in my lifetime for sure because people weren't that way when I was growing up. All these Twitters, Facebooks, etc.. It's all so arrogant. None of it is necessary. It's interesting to me, like watching an ant farm.

I agree with you to an extent. I only use Social Media in very close knit circles, twitter is merely to ask questions to companies and facebook is close friends and familes (63 friends). But for some odd reason i liked the zoeshare of the randomers.
I wonder if HTC will release Zoe as an app for android, and heaven forbid iOS. It just seems like a less idiotic vine and could possibly be a big deal.

I'm sorry to say it, but declaring judgement on other people based on your own opinions .. now THAT's arrogant ... so why don't I tell you from just one person out of a billion's viewpoint ...
First off, I don't suppose Zoe shares will be public broadcast material. I've seen nowhere on the ZoeShare site that lets you see or choose from the Zoes shared on the site. They are there to be viewed by friends and family who are actually given the URL to that specific Zoe. Of course once you make that share public then you are in the Facebook - public broadcast arena and that's your own choice.
As for usefulness ... Here is one old geezer's take on Zoe and ZoeShare ...
I'm 63 years old, and my mother is 86. She is semi-blind, but can watch TV, so the family set her up with a connection from her PC to her TV set so she can still surf (she remembers how to touch type) and view mails and images etc. in a nice big format.
My wife and I live in Holland and so do both my daughters (two of her four grandchildren and her only granddaughters) and my four grandchildren (four of her five great grandchildren). My mom lives in England ... so there's only really mail/e-mail and telephone that keeps us all together and we do stay in constant touch. I often send her photos of odd things, family days, kids losing teeth etc. and she loved to receive them. they are her company on the long days alone.
To be able to send her LIVING photographs in a Zoe collection by just mailing her a link will be great for both of us. She gets to see her photographs of the Dutch end of the family coming alive on her TV with no effort at all, and I get to produce the Zoes for her to see ... again with no effort at all.
I'm choosing to use an HTC One expressly for that purpose... I can use any phone to make calls, and andriod is pretty much the same under the skin on every phone ... but only one phone has Zoe ... that's the deal maker.
I like the idea of Zoe, this is going to make a pretty slick and different way of sharing. For the most part I throw vids on youtube and pics on picasa as I do not do the Facebook thing. I am not going to share it with the world just family. I don't tweet my days life like you seem to think everyone does.
I'm looking forward to this and the whole phone in general because it kicks arse all the way around!
Here's a few more that's I've spotted on Twitter

Oh, I watch the second link before..
Allow me to tell the story:-
As you can see, that the building is HTC Taipei headquater.. This *Zoe Share* originated from one of those HTC staff that have tester unit..
His friend (claimed to be, I would say suspicious self-disguise) took it and manage to published a long introduction/tutorial on several Taiwanese Forums. Then, the post was suddenly redacted a day later.. Perhaps he draw some concern from his superiors.
I meant to translate the article to english and publish on XDA. I contacted the author and he said he will republish again when allowed.
So, get ready for it.. I will post an english version here too..
Hopefully soon..

It is interesting to think about, and some criticize the phenomenon while others defend it -- and that probably depends a lot on how you came up in this world.
I'm 40, and saw the advent of the internet grow through my teens and 20s, and I fully remember a life where we didn't have every piece of information imaginable at our fingertips. Now I have 4 teenage girls who don't know this "less connected" life we older generations know of -- they are totally immersed in the connected life without any idea that the more "disconnected" life worked as well. They love constantly sharing the more mundane details that we didn't think needed to be shared.
But the new images we share is not reality, but only part of it -- the part that we want to play up and make public. We will always have another part we keep private, and in that respect, nothing has really changed that much. We are just more informed.
They'd need to make more themes to choose from for that. Otherwise the world of HTC Zoe's would be full of the same 6 themes from the masses.

In the link below is a YouTube video about hidden features in iOS7 and if you look closely you'll see that the time clock icon updates in real time, WT The guy on the video goes on to say that he would like for the weather to update in real time as well..... Has Apple really gone too far in coping Windows Phone? Just saying; would like to hear your opinions.

you hate Microsoft WP and you like to read posts in WP forum? LOL
Honestly, I think their ads are pretty dumb too. Doesn't mean I hate the OS, or even the company that makes it (although their lock-down policy does piss me off on occasion).
You guys can't be serious? This was a jailbreak tweak from 2008.
