I'm actually pretty interested in both but will the one about integration with Xbox really happen since Microsoft has wp7 now?
Any news about any of these tweets is appreciated

Using Google News, search the term "Sprint".

It's an HTC Windows Phone 7. 99% likely it's the HTC Pro 7.

It's about them unveiling their new windows 7 phone htc 7pro aka "arrive"

Technically it's not true integration.
WP7 just lets you get gamer points on your phone with your XBLive gamer tag.
But yes, both these posts are referencing Windows Phone 7. Specifically the soon-to-be-released HTC Pro 7 for Sprint.
Which makes this thread off-topic.

Sounds like Microsoft's late-to-game rehashing of "cloud" this and that blah blah and xbox integration that nobody cares for.

Microsoft's cloud storage is not just for WP7 anyway...
25GB free cloud storage with Android App from Microsoft-

Aww so sad
I was thinking that my android phone could now be "integrated" with my Xbox
Btw I'm both a ps3 and a 360 person
Not that it matters at all
Another thing I think wp7 is going to be the next big thing
Because if I remember correctly apple came to Verizon first with the idea if the iPhone and Verizon refused and the iPhone was a huge success and Verizon also refused wp7 so maybe wp7 is going to be huge too.
Even if wp7 becomes "huge" I'm sticking with android unless Google abandons it

While I prefer ps3 over 360, I'm gonna have to disagree based on multiplayer. The 360 has a great social system. Once the ps3 gets on XBL level, there is definitely nothing holding them back. And hopefully a redesigned controller (not fully redesigned....just put some joysticks that atually have grip so that I can shoot as comfortably as 360!).
Multiplayer is more casual on 360, but that's because you have all these little kids not taking it srs.
Ps3 is more intimate online and its more hardcore because theaverage age is 12<, which is why I prefer it, but I can't enjoy it with my friends playing a different game than I

Maybe if your intent is to use it as a linux box. However as a game system, they are close enough that you should pick based on which one has the exclusives you like. That and the online system I suppose. Cheap vs good.
Only fanboys think one console owns the other.

hurray for the Judge, did the right thing by acknowledging it was just software feature that can be changed and not a hardware thing as claimed by apple

Like i stated in tnhe galaxy tab 10.1 forum.
What really irritates me about this current filing with the touch screen and image gallery is once again someone did this before apple yet they take the idea and run with it. LowFat anyone? http://www.peeniewallie.com/2006/03/lowfat_image_vi.html look at the date on that page March 15th 2006? I think that was before the iphone, just a little.
Add LowFat with a Linux distro running a touch screen and man that looks pretty much like what they are filing suit about.

That's all fine and dandy but did fat patent it? People come up with ideas long before someone else does it but the original person didn't put a patent on it so they are sol.
I don't have a 10.1 so I don't know what the gallery looks like. Like many other reviews of the app, I'd like to see quickpic be a standard.

If you can show it existed well before an existing patent does that.still hold true? I thought prior art was a legit argument to be used in such cases like this. The gallery app they are referring to is the standard android gallery app. Apple says all Android devices infringe on this patent.

This is good news.

This iPad sucks

So mom bought me an iPad 2 while she was down visiting from out of state. I have to say I was a little excited to get it after hearing all the iPhone and iPad users rave about their equipment. I'm on my third day of use and I cant find one decent thing about it that I can't do better on my old Epic 4g. I couldn't be more disappointed. Anybody want to buy an iPad? JK - Momma might not bake me those amazing cookies anymore if I sold it.

I'll buy it but I don't really get the comparison between and iPad and an Epic.

The ONLY redeemable aspect about an iPad to me is the virtual textbooks for college. I don't have one though but can't say I want one either I just wish more textbooks could be found on an android tablet.

LoL, there isn't much comparison. Other than the iPad having a big screen that isn't as bright...the Epic is MUCH better and does MUCH more. I know, the epic isn't a tab, but it is my "other" computer...and the iPad doesn't come close. My daughters rooted Kindle does more than this thing.

fair enough but my wife uses the textbooks xopher mentioned. I happen to think Apple makes the most overrated products on the planet but I seem to be part of a growing minority.
how much do you want for it?

He supports it for what its worth.. not because he uses it and enjoys... from my expierence with him he doesnt like our "fanboys" ( which is not really possible, here in the android community we have N00bs, Developers, Contributors, and the occasional "fanboy" which is usually just pride. ) bashing apple. Can we not let this thread turn into another Android vs. iOS?

So IF I decide to trade out, what (current) tab would anyone suggest. I like the specs on the xoom, the galaxy and the transformer...thoughts?

iOS 6 Phone Feature

It looks like Apple have done something similar to Google's ICS feature where you're given the option to reply back to the person via message and an additional option of 'Do not disturb mode'.. hmmm, interesting

Gotta disagree. Having to be "forced" to sync music IMHO is BS. Plus iTunes IMO is too bloated and slow.

I Love Android so Much More Than Apple

I went from the OG Evo to the 4S and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. I just had to have an Iphone. I only had it for 4 months and I saw the press release for the Galaxy S3 and here I am.
For anybody looking at this board trying to make a decision between the Iphone and the S3, please make the smart decision.
Android is 100000000000000x better than Apple.

That is a tough question as there are so many aspects I am not sure where to start.
1. Customization - The IOS UI is a grid of apps, Android can be what you want it to be. Widgets, toggles, clocks, the choices are endless. Also, keyboard choices, not really open on Apple, just modifications of the ios keyboard. I personally really enjoy quickly browsing my news, calendar and weather widgets, without opening an app. Not the case on IOS.
2. Freedom - IOS: Walled into itunes with drm locked media. Android: Play what you want, when you want, on whatever player you want. Choose what media player suits you on your pc, not stuck on that piece of crap bulky itunes program.
3. Useability: IOS forces you to go back to a general options icon to change settings for a large number of apps. Android has app settings integrated into the apps themselves.
4. App returns: Apple are complete pricks when it comes to trying to get a refund for an app. Google Play: For 15 minutes there is a refund button you can click for an instant refund. I personally experienced this on my wife's ipad when purchasing an app that didn't do what it claimed. Had to go onto the desktop itunes program, find some obscure feedback button, only to get a response that I had to take it up with the app developer. When I did, the app developer said they are unable to do refunds through the Apple App store.
I could keep going, but in the end, if people would get over the Apple marketing machine/branding, and try Android, they would quickly realize how much better it is. No scientific analysis here, but everyone I know who has made the switch from Apple to Android has never gone back.

Just want to add, apple saved the music industry with itunes and the music in itunes is not drm locked, you can use it on any player that support aac file format.
And btw I am enjoying the android experience better compared to ios. But in the end both android and ios has their ups and downs and I enjoy both operating systems

Your point is supported, although I disagree with the premise of that article. My opinion is itunes did not in fact save the music industry, but hurt them through prolonging their need to adapt. My premise is based on 2 facts: 1. All industries must change with the times; 2. All market leaders eventually lose market share to innovative competition.
No one will succeed in stopping the inevitability that the internet has changed, and will continue to change, how we purchase and consume media. Free is the way things are going and therefore creative methods must be determined in the music industry to procure other methods of generating revenue. So, if itunes saved the industry by extending the almost extinct practice of purchasing music, what happens when competitors, with no such sale model arise? There is no stopping history based on one company, even the almighty Apple. Instead of finding alternative promotional, ad based, or other methods, the industry has just fed on itunes. Apple's dominance will not last forever, and the industry must adapt to that. Apple's pretty little walled garden will not support them forever.

Not really trying to rebuttal, you. I've been peeking at xda while I work today. And this is no place to talk about Apple stuff. However, it's true more bands are trying to make hit singles than cohesive albums cause of iTunes.
