N1 losing to a pre?

hey guys
go over here and vote for the N1, its losing to a pre....
http://blog.laptopmag.com/march-smart-phone-madness-game-6-nexus-one-vs-palm-pre-plus

Voted... but only because I believe the Nexus One is superior.

I voted too, but only because the Pre is a far superior device and only because I couldn't vote for the iPhone. Just kidding! Geez! Calm Down!!! Seriously, how can the Pre be beating an N1?!?!

Because Pre owners have nothing better to do and look for voting sites for their phones. Or because we N1 users know that it is superior to the Pre or the idud and we don't want our competitors to feel crushed ;-).
I voted for the N1 of course. Sill we are way behind, lets catch up.

voted for the n1.

****ty contest from a ****ty mag... big surprise?
the pre is a joke... ive yet to talk to someone who actually enjoys their pre... and i know a few people who have also broke that ****ty slider on the phone... its so poorly made i cant believe they would release a device that has the fragility of my grandmas good china

You can vote more then once

i lol'd
and voted a few times

odd i voted and after a few times it didnt increment, the n1 vote nor the pre+ vote
i not like i didnt think this e-peen contest voting thing was crap anyway but i think this is rigged, ive never even heard of this site
still vote though! heh

I voted but it all seems rigged...

Sony Ericsson NOT developing Android 2.2

I just read a piece over at Engadget that, according to their tipster, SE is prepping a 5.5" phone with slide out qwerty keyboard, running vanilla Android 2.1 and launching in the fall of this year. The article also mentions that "internally SE doesn't appear to have any plans for 2.2 yet".
Sorry to be pessimistic, but I think we can kiss anything but an (official) upgrade to 2.1 goodbye until well into next year. I think our best bet is that the devs here can achieve root.
Here is a link to the article:
---.engadget.com/2010/06/04/sony-ericsson-prepping-a-5-inch-android-phone-with-qwerty-keyboa?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget[/url]

2.2 for that device. Who's existence may or may not be real.
Which is also just a rumor, man.
If you read on the internet that Apple was planning on building a nuclear bomb and dropping it on Redmond, WA, would you believe it? Especially if Engadget reported it?

Update: We've received word from a second highly-trusted source who says that the display is 5.5 inches (too big to fit in the front pocket), and runs a clean Android 2.1 install. Oh, and it's launching in the fall.
Does this mean ,,,,, we can upgrade to 2.2 just like other android phones.......

stopped reading at engadget

engadget is cool, but Android 3.0 is going to come NEXT MONTH!!!!!
SE should focus on android 6.0 instead!!!!!!

Cool? Cool how? In the sense that when you visit their page you are pestered with a webpage so devoted to apple its actually sad? I mean the company makes like three products that all look the same and never change yet the news about what steve jobs crapped out on his toilet last night is top news? Or is it the cocky attitude of the half dead beat loser writers who seen to think saying "company x debuts new product, nobody cares" over and over and over is witty?
Engadgey blows.

It got an unofficial upgrade thanks to the community, Motorola had nothing to do with it.
So that makes what, 4 devices with 2.2?
MAN, SE, YOU'RE SO SLOW! THERE'S HUNDREDS OF ANDROID POWERED PHONES OUT THERE AND FOUR ALREADY HAVE 2.2, [email protected]@@R%@#324~~~!

Oh, and if you needed "proof" that SE is doing something and listening:

Android is kicking-ass in that survey. I am surprised ... expected the Apple Fanbois to be all over it.

Android will win or has already won!

Upset ???

The results after the weekend seem a little fishy.

Result Graph
Looks like someone called in a favor

Wow 79%, android is winning! I will do a screenshot about this and also java benchmarks on apple ibrick and nexus one. Then I will hack in iphone and flash the images to boot screen.
I really hate apple, for their overpriced and overadverated brick.

microsoft was winning by a long shot for awhile but android is totally dominating now... lol
its a really stupid poll really, its too general... for everyday use I would say they are all equal, android only having a slight advantage because of flash mobile... but even then I know a lot of dumbass droid users that all have 2.2 but dont have flash installed cuz they are clueless about its existence or even its use...

Comeback or hoax ???
Well this is a complete flip from Mondays screenshot?
Maybe the talented hackers finaly chimed in?
UPDATE: Phandroid Quote:
"It looks like someone didn’t take too kindly to what appeared to be rigged voting in Wall Street Journal’s poll yesterday asking “who makes the best mobile operating system?” After Google seemed to get ahead of the pack after at least 9,000 legitimate votes, Windows fan sites have been rallying up to take them down and put Microsoft ahead. The tide has turned yet again, but this time it’s a lot more numerous. According to the poll today, Google now makes the best operating system owning 94.4% of the votes. A whopping 357,000 votes have come in for them, so far, leaving everyone as far behind as far can get. We’re sure this is the result of an Android lover who wouldn’t take the insult of rigged voting lying down."

android FTW!

[OFFTOPIC] Cheers to Steve Jobs

I know, wrong forum. I'll get no sympathizers here.....regardless, I toast Steve Jobs and his amazing accomplishments in this industry.
As much as I love Android, and wouldn't go back after 3 years of IPhoneness for most of the same reasons/frustrations most of you wouldn't, I don't subscribe to the
I hate Jobs/Apple, type childishness.
Credit where credits due.
Control freak or not, he's THE pioneer in developing an elegant OS that still hasn't been matched, and pushing this technology to the masses..
Cheers Steve. Good luck.
This is of course going to be objected to with venomous fervor....specially since our Samsungs presently under 'attack' lol. Could care less.
Won't be responding.
Just wanted to get this out there.

Agreed, like it or not, he was one of the visionaries that made all of this possible, cheers!

he is not CEO anymore of Apple
Agreed he was the one

Don't really have a problem with Jobs, but I don't think there's anything wrong with those that 'hate' apple or Jobs. Not childish at all to be put off by someone/company/something.
Of coursee, all to a certain extent.
A lot of things that a company does can put off a lot of people, and that's certainly valid, and most certainly not "childish" as you put it.
Granted a lot of people on the internet are childish. Still doesn't invalidate other people's opinions.

Yeah cheers alright... Thank God for Steve and his hate for Flash. Otherwise I'd probably be using an iCrap instead of my S2!

Darth Wader is gone but the Empire is still there.

Except he has good jobs about fonts, none other... That I appriciate. He sucked people for devices that does not worth half for YEARS, just with false advertising and such. It is same with very early macs till today. Yeah it is business but hey, you can't go to otherside with money you know...
And about your Elegant OS, http://www.neowin.net/news/os-x-lion-fails-to-check-passwords-if-authenticating-via-ldap (and again, back to false advertising about elegancy and being cool and all)
Sorry but I hated him since Amiga vs. Mac days, so he can go to hell, see if I care...

Steve Jobs will always be remembered for taking a company from the brink of bankruptcy to one of the most powerful in the world. The iPod and iPhone have forever changed the landscape for media and mobile devices. If it wasn't for him/Apple I'd probably still be using a crackberry. While it's not been explicitly stated, it's a shame that health issues have forced him to step away.

Time to hang up the polo neck (turtle neck to some)

You gotta admire the halo effect that the Apple marketing team created with regards to Apple products
Cheers Steve

Cheers to Steve Jobs for bringing revolutionary ideas and products to the world i have had all the iphones and loved them all! Thanks and Cheers Mr. Jobs

No matter what anyone says, the truth is if there were no iPhone, there would be no Android. We'd probably still be using XDA's with resistive screen and stylus.
So a big thank you to Steve Jobs for being a trail blazer. I wish him all the happiness in the world in his retirement.

I totally agree with the OP. As much as we fight with Apple products, they're still good products regardless and Steve Jobs started it all off with the iPod then progressed to the likes of an iPad. He's only stepping down and he's acting as a Chairman now. It must be difficult to be a CEO of one of the richest companies out there.

Well it should matter what people say because you're badly informed, Android started in 2003, and was bought by google in 2005, the iphone was first displayed in jan 2007
First capacitative screen was the lg prada
I remember having the Nokia N95 when the very first iphone came out.. it had a 5mp camera, int camera for videocalls, supported wifi streaming of music/vids etc.. apple only had these features with the iphone4 in 2010! (any my nokia supported flash!)
Jobs may be prolific, and he certainly has left his mark on the tech world, but the real geniuses at apple are the guys in marketing who make an ordinary product (which is lagging the latest tech in many aspects) seem extraordinary

Jobs is an ass, anyone who knows anything about Apples history knows this. It always irritates me when people hate on Bill Gates so much when he runs the world s largest charitable organization (The Gates Foundation) and has pledged (via the Giving Pledge) to give away the majority of his personal wealth, along with a number of other high profile Billionaires. Has Jobs? Has he hell, hes more interested in getting more money for his crappy devices and stealing IP. Even Baron Hilton is on the Giving Pledge list!

All my respect!

Apple and Job did nothing new, they merely took existing technologies and concepts, as viva.fidel described, and made them better. Can't knock Apple for that, they did a good job, but it's a bit rich them trying to sue others for copying their ideas...

Without Mr. Jobs, 90 % of the industry will be the same Nokia industry for much more years, all we have now is thanks to mr Jobs. Thanks for pushing to the limit all the other companies.

Let's get some fact straights. The first Android device, the HTC G1, was released October 22, 2008. So for those doing the math that's a year after the first iPhone was released and several months after the 2nd gen iPhone. Those Google guys were real trailblazers
I do agree though that back in the day Nokia made some great devices. I remember when the E71 came out. Unfortunately, Nokia like Blackberry are heading into the toilet. We all chose the Android platform for different reasons but because of the iPhone Android was forced to step up their game in order to stay competitive.

As a person, I feel for him for his health, and wish him all the best.
As for apple and all their innovations, they simply take "Water" and re-brand it "I-Clear" and everyone buys it.
He is a magician for selling water to fishes, but at the end of the day, they simply take failing fads such as video calling, re-branding it Face Time and sheep buy into it. Very clever.
The new voice control software rumoured to be in the next Iphone, will probably be called Voice Time, and suddenly everyone will be out and about shouting at their phones to "Call John!! Call John!!" and then followed by "I said Call John! Not call Joan!!". Still people will say Apple invented it, and that it's great.
As for Mac's and Mac OS, Ugly, slow software. Sure it might not crash.. apparently, but still hate it.
Anyway as I said, he is a very clever man for pulling wool over people's eyes, so I say get well soon!

I agree with akusokuzan. Even though you're enthusiastic, this has got zero to do with development. You'll get a lot more positive response in the general section!

The people who own the phones know which is best...we dont need a tv show to prove it
(and this should be in general, theres no development in this thread, just a fanboy thread by a user called fanboi...ooo the irony)

Remove this please, nor does it belong in development, nor at xda at all in my opinion. Looks like advertisement for some site of which the op might earn cash for clicks.

Bumping post to raise awareness of thread

The Gadget Show is dire. It is an appalling TV programme. It lasts about 45 minutes (excluding the much better produced adverts) and you would be lucky to find 5 minutes worthy of a tech show.
They do 'challenges' which are purely for entertainment - but fail even to do that.
As said earlier, they are very Apple centric.
The only bit of the show that is any good is the web only reviews, and even then they tend to be very superficial. Then there is the one minute of adverts before the review starts, only to get under 2 minutes of contect.
