Dell will push Google's Android 2.2 OS to its Streak handheld devices in a matter of "weeks," a company executive said this week.
It says 'a matter of weeks' not 2 weeks, i was expecting to be out well before christmas anyway to help sales figuers.
I like to fart in shoeboxes
Point taken, i stand corrected

There's a world of difference between 'a matter of weeks' and '2 weeks' and one is set defined with the number 2 the other could mean any number of weeks.
I don't know where in the world you are but there's a big thing in the UK at the moment with broadband companies quoting 'up to' in their specification.
eg: 'up to 8mb a second' the fact is it's perfectly legal as it states 'up to' and carries no defined number, like 'a matter of' for example.
Like the word 'several' like i had sex several times last week now that could mean three or twenty three couldn't it
Now the word 'couple' is completely different altogether, if you say 'i had sex a couple of times last week' then of course that means twice, because of the global association of the word 'couple' with the number two.
Now if i said 'i had sex with a couple last week' that throws up all soughts of figures and other stuff which we shall not go into here.
So if the quote was '2.2 released in a couple of weeks' rather than '2.2 released in a matter if weeks' now you see the difference.
Great expaination CHECKBOX111
As a general rule a.matter of weeks is up to 4.
More than that and you are in month territory. Thats providing the spokes person at dell has a reasonable grip of grammar

As far as I can tell from the pic is that the HD is about video. Hence the "HD capture 720p". Read the small letters below the HD. They are just promoting the capability to capture HD videos in 720p.

I really think Samsung does it on purpose. I've gone through so many scenarios as to why they are delaying FroYo for so long, and I just cannot reason it. I am certain it is on purpose. Why? That's the one million dollar question. Could it be to sell more Nexus S'? Could be. But no one knows for sure except Samsung...
I just don't see how a company as big as Samsung can't devote the manpower to put this thing together and up and running months ago.

Because Samsung never have to made products that needs long term commitmenets. They make TV, Monitors, and Flash Disks, and dumb phones which were all sales are final kind of product; as long as there are no large manufacturer defect, it's pretty much end of support - minus some lemons.
They did have the omnia series, but they develop the OS in house, but was also slow as hell to push out updates. That's the only counter argument I foresee.
Overall, Samsung is just very bad at software, kind of like Sony before PS3.

what year did they say 2013? As others have stated Samsung has failed to deliver on 2.2 I think 2 or 3 times now and keep pushing it back.
Why would anyone have any faith that they are going to release 2.3 when they can't even get 2.2 out?

Froyo is just known to everyone now, theres hundreds of roms that have Froyo, might as well go on to Gingerbread.
I just spoke to a Rep at the Verizon store in Humble, Texas named Isabel. She told me that she spoke to their Samsung Rep today and he told her that they are skipping the Froyo update and going straight to Gingerbread. No word on when though.

until I unrooted and gave it to my wife
it would be a huge victory for Samsung to pass on froyo and release GB within the week. It would catapult them past HTC and motorola in the significance area of Android development. I think they need to do this if they want to regain lost respect.
Since Nexus S is galaxy S with GB on it already and is basically 99.9 the same as our phone, I definitely think it's doable. I would definitely prefer gingerbread. I want it just for the newer copy/paste feature.
God man, all this misinformation. Let me clear it up for you. We are most likely NOT going to skip froyo (2.2). Gingerbread (2.3) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED and it is on a phone called the Nexus S on T-Mobile USA. Honeycomb (2.4 or 3.0) is for tablets in its current form. Man, this getting ridiculous.

I like how he says, "...what the big announcement was all about...", implying there will not be an announcement now.
No offense meant, but all the secrecy going around this rumor is kinda building up a paper castle.
SamsungJohn works for Samsung, not Sprint. He can't offer us anything that affects Sprint (our contract holder) unless they've worked out a deal before-hand and, even then, Sprint would be the face of the offering. Why would Sprint's partner, Samsung, skip them completely and go directly to the customer? These aren't appliances.
I doubt they worked out a deal beforehand because the whole XDA debacle would have never happened. It would have been presented behind the scenes well before we ever caught wind of it.
So, yes, I'm curious, too, but don't get your hopes up too much. Remember, "HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT" doesn't mean the same thing to one person as it does the other. Expect crap but hope for diamonds and somewhere in between lies the truth.
Noobnl speaking makes me think a little bit. When he says "future is bright"....well I'm encouraged.
My first thought? Xda will act as samsungs beta grounds...which would mean full disclosure.
I'm imagining us receiving full device driver source code...
Think about...we could theoretically port every android update on our own. Which honestly would be nice, and really, a win-win for everybody..
Samsung wouldn't have to put in the man power or money to update our phones, and we would still have access to every current update...samsung would then have a bunch of happy customers without breaking a sweat...
Because I mean really, wouldn't we all be happier with the source code over an ota anyday?
I think I might have the nail on the head...

Hearing this statement out of Noobnl is awesome news, maybe Samsung will eventually manage to redeem themselves after all.

I have talked to him MSN Messenger and I can't say what the big announcement was because that would make too much sense and ruin the constant "wtf is going on?" aura that surrounds the Epic support from Samsung and Sprint, I can tell you that eventually something will happen.

Off topic: Im also sad because my 1yr old LG 46" LCD went out this morning. Sucker just shut off while I was watching it, doesn't show any sign if life. Glad I bought the bestbuy blk tie they will swap it out. Still pissed though. Grrr

I just checked the HTC fan page. Only one post on that entire first page is NOT about the locked bootloader. That's just amazing to me. Question is, will HTC listen to what the customer wants?

yeah i saw the page too but they won't change it before launch... something made them do this to the 3d. basically i think htc is saying them do not support flashing custom roms.
ill stick to my new nexus s 4g thanks!
Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
You will be missed

So does this mean the Evo 3d can never be rooted? Or does it just make it more difficult ?
