I don't know if anyone has heard but Sprint is about to release another Android phone and it supposed to be pretty sweet!
I think it's called like the SubSonic, or maybe it's the SuperChronic... I'm not sure.
Keep your eyes peeled!

And in other news, Apple announced this morning that iPhone has gone open source, Sprint revealed that SenseUI has been dropped in favor of a more retro WM5 skin for the Hero's 2.1 upgrade, and a secret internal memo reveals plans by Microsoft to leak rooting instructions for WP7 the day before it gets released amidst rumors of an imminent security upgrade to nonactivated phones to boost sales on release day...
The new phone will have a Rooted utility to find the source of DNS attacks on 127.0.0.1 .
Who is 127.0.0.1 ?

There actually was a memo leaked from Palm yesterday that they are dropping WebOS and switching to Android. (http://slashdot.org/submission/1198960/Rumor-Palm-ditching-webOS-for-Android?art_pos=19) Should have a more official announcement soon.
Amazing... My dad had a pre and hated it, we've been debating lately how long palm and blackberry will be in business if they don't make some drastic changes.

If your question was serious, 127.0.0.1 is 'localhost' on all machines. It's the address the computer uses to reference itself.
Honestly, I think Palm would be earth-shatteringly stupid NOT to switch to Android, as long as they bring along their WebOS interface to put on top of it.
The main thing that kept me from going with a Pre is Palm's history of allowing their software to stagnate. Back in the day I had one of the original PalmPilots. I also had a Treo 650. There's what? 10, 12 years seperating those two devices? Yet it's astounding just how much they managed to NOT improve PalmOS over those years. They added color and mediocre internet connectivity, but beyond that it's hard to think of any significant improvements in the OS from a user perspective.
That alone makes it hard for me to consider a Palm device, even if the Pre is quite nice on its own merits. I want a platform that I can stick with for awhile so I don't have to repeat the experience of moving away from the Treo and seeing $150 worth of apps flushed down the toilet. Luckily I never spent much on iPhone apps. Android gives me a sense of comfort that I can pay good money for an app and be able to use to for a good long time, through device upgrades, and even carrier changes.

I think their memo would say "Getting Administrator" access. If its Windows lol!
Another memo would be "invoking bsod to gain Administrator access" ;D
Sorry guys, Palm is NOT switching: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/palm-moving-to-android-to-stay-alive-not-according-to-palm/
webOS is a fantastic user experience as long as it's on good hardware. The Pre, however, really struggles to be called decent, never mind good,hardware.
I hear the Pre Plus performs a lot better, though. *shrug*
Enough of the aside, though.

I think RIM Would have to fall of the face of the earth to fail. Toooooo many corps have waaaaaaaaaaaay to much money tied up in BIS to loose it or switch to something that is actually worth a crap - BIS is really Ok for Business I guess. RIM was big on innovation and now they have found complacency. It's sad, they have potential they are just wasting it.
Do you think it'll happen? There has been rumors floating around about it.
Doubt it.
Where are the rumours from? here?
Damn the title got me excited. Well I sure hope so because I was planning on ordering a nexus one in 41 days when i'm 22 months into my t-mobile contract. Could you please link us to a news article that talks about this. Thanks
I was on someone else's computer and don't have the link for it though. Sorry.

Why would that blow? How can anyone expect the hardware world not to continue evolving. There will always be something better than what you have... if you have the best right now, something is about to come out that beats it. You can't expect that new technology in an embedded device, such as a phone, will take the place of older technology used in current generation devices.
There is no reason to believe that HTC is going to change their manufacturing process for the Nexus One, or any of their currently released phones. The new technology will be in place for NEW devices, it would be quite odd for them to just start making Nexus Ones with different hardware simply because that hardware exists in the new devices they are manufacturing.

Actually, judging by how fast google goes through versions and software (look at Chrome browser, already at 4.0 or 5.0), google is probably already testing Nexus Two. That thing'll probably have new screen.
They got a contract with current screen manufacturer, I bet they won't worry about switching now.

For some reason I believe this a stupid question. The bashing and returns that would occur after this change, and the complaints and people maybe even wanting their money back would be so gradual it would cause a bad costly uproar.
People would form small not needed hate groups, make *****y blog post about how Google somehow "scamed" customers, Google's name would be flamed harshly by people who want attention. I could just imagine this happening..

I wish I could give you a cup of Froyo to calm you down. ;-)
I completely agree though. Some people talk out of their butt sometimes.
You only need to read the first 3 paragraphs below to get the idea, but Google and Verizon are talking about a deal to throttle internet speeds to websites that can pay more money.
Anyways, here's a link to a pre-made email to send, all you have to do is put some info in. http://freepr.es/bXFB7i
I don't really want to sound like I'm some spokesperson about net neutrality, I just agree with it, and I think this is a bad deal, so I'm trying to get the word out best way I know.
Google is about to cut a deal with Verizon that would end the Internet as we know it.
According to a front-page New York Times story, the deal allows “Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content's creators are willing to pay for the privilege."
It would create fast Internet lanes for the largest corporations and slow lanes for the rest of us.
That’s why we’re starting a mass protest by Google users to stop these two companies from joining forces to sell out millions of people like us who use the Internet.
If Millions Join Our Call, We Can Stop this Deal: Tell Google, “Don’t Be Evil"
Google’s motto is supposed to be “Don’t Be Evil.” But this deal puts the company in bed with the devil.
From the beginning, the Internet has been a level playing field that allows everyone to connect to one another and the world of content available online -- whether it's ABC News or your cousin’s wedding video. There’s only one Internet, and it shouldn’t matter who your provider is or whether you're logging on from home or your cell phone.
This deal will change all of that, allowing Google and Verizon to pick what websites you can see over others. The result couldn't be bleaker for the future of the Internet and for free speech and independent voices online.
Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin created Google to make information freely available to everyone online. But this deal is a complete reversal that abandons their core principles:
Sign this letter and tell Google’s founders:
“Your Verizon deal IS evil, and it must be stopped.”
It’s up to the millions of people who use Google every day to tell the company to do the right thing.
Google must walk away from this bad deal, and make sure Internet users everywhere can enjoy the entire open Internet wherever, whenever and however they want.

I havent had a chance to really dig into this but if it is as the couple stories I have read about it suggest this is not good.
Net Neutrality has been a big issue for awhile now. Google was known for fighting for it. That's why this was such a big deal. Turns out it to be false.
if this is true it could very well be android related as Verizon could shut HTC and other manufacturers out. i would like a more firm statement from them

They could I suppose, but HTC makes phones for them too, and they could probably afford to have the speed increase if this were true. I don't know why Verizon would do that.
I don't follow news very well, but it looks like both Google, and Verizon, have denied this.
I haven't read into it much, but sounds like it's false. I'm glad Google is fighting for net neutrality, which is why when I heard about this alleged deal, I was upset at Google.

According to Android Central, Google is going to shutdown their Nexus One forums on November 1st, making them Read Only.
Semi-true.
Whilst there is an announcement to that effect, it also tells you where to post afterwards. Basically they're moving them to another section.
Not that they're really N1 specific anyway, there's no mention of N1 in their title anywhere.

I was just wondering that myself....a strange time to do this with Gingerbread right around the corner. Then again it's still the development phone...although even that could change at any time I suppose...no guarantees in life. Doesn't matter to me tho: CM will take care of our Gingerbread needs.
There it goes the "HTC Magic afair" again...
I´s normal that they get better hardware in which develop new features for their OS...
But dismantleying the Nexus crap is against our understanding and negatively impacts on the trust we got in the Google Phone
I was a little bit scared as well when I initially read this, but then I also came to the same realization as MuckenMire; "Why should I be scared?" My N1 is rooted, and as long as people love the N1, there will be plenty of dev's out there to give the latest and greatest and even better than greatest ROM's. Sure, at some point, the phone's hardware will cease to meet the minimum requirements of the then current high performance version of Android, but I hope and am pretty confident that there will be a new phone that is just as easy to mod as the N1 by then.

In regards to Android updates...
-"New guidelines! Man, this is going to be huge. Google's laying out a timeline for how long it'll take a device to get updated once a new build is let loose, as well as how long it'll be updated beyond that."
-"These shown will be provided timely updates for at least 18 months provided the hardware can handle it. Whoa. WHOA!" -Samsung included here
http://media.xda-developers.com/images/editor/separator.gif
-"The keynote's moving on, but our head is still spinning here. And we're sure the heads of Epic 4G owners are as well." Engadget targeting us.
Linky.
So it looks like Google is taking care of fragmentation. Also they announched Ice Cream Sammmmicch and their goals for unity. In addition, Google Music. Quick get your invites at http://music.google.com
Also, looks like Google has prepared a sweet Arduino dev kit for USB + bluetooth (in the future) for Android devices. Definitely a ton of potential.
Also, they announced [email protected] automation for Android tablets/phones.
And yes... I capitalized NEWS versus Huge, just to be different.
Good for Google for taking the proper steps to mend the biggest problem with their platform.

Good stuff. So I guess the "Samsung will never update past Froyo" crap can be put to an end for good. Sprint/Samsung both on board (maybe forced by Google, I don't care how) to support updates 18 months into the life of the devices (if they can handle it) which they SHOULD when they took away the yearly upgrades from most folks.
Also, the movie rental thing Google is releasing looks NICE. So much for Samsung's media hub. Google isn't charging an arm an a leg for rentals either.

I would think that about a year ago, but the AT&T+T-Mob and Verizon+iPhone make Sprint the natural choice for stronger Google ties, as it needs the "best" hardware and software to compete on a level with the two giants. This process has already started with Voice integration and releasing a Sprint Nexus
The closer Google holds Sprint, the better it is for us and the better/faster the updates come to the Goog Network.

At the same time, that puts Sprint as the only major carrier without an iphone...and I hope they dont go deeper into trying to compete with it by putting all their resources into 1 phone basket... like they did with the Instinct, Pre, Evo...
Now if the carriers and manufactures can come to a agreement on how to properly handle dud phones. I by no means hope there is another debacle like the Samsung Moment was but it is a shame what some had to go through to get rid of that lemon and stupider Sprint kept selling it even though its issues were documented to the umteenth degree.

I don't want to burst any bubbles, but everything I have read about the 18 month update thing pertains to "new" devices. Not saying they won't apply the same standard to our phones and other phones, but the announcement was from here on that new devices would stay updates for at least 18 months.
