Good read about Android Honeycomb

http://briefmobile.com/android-honeycomb-has-potential-needs-time-to-mature
Pretty spot on, good read.

nice
my favourite bit has to be:
Apple markets the iPad as this magical, cute, family friendly device while the Xoom is marketed as this totally bad ass, rugged machine that can turn into a spaceship if you try to grab it.

Finally someone who gets it.

There's one problem with this kind of thinking,you can't charge people $300 more than a much more popular ipad for a beta product.

What's even more hilarious is people will sit here and defend this price point.

What's even more funny is the people who will come to xda just to complain because they have nothing better to do.
The xoom is only $70 more than a comparable ipad2 while having better hardware and arguably a better base OS experience.

A device is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
However, for $70 more than the equivelant model iPad I'm happy for the fact my Xoom eventually will have Flash and 4G.

I really, really wish idiots would stop comparing the price of the 16GB wifi only iPad 2 to the 32GB 3G (soon to be 4G) Xoom. It makes no sense.

Got mine with a data package contract for $130 less.

Also, to upgrade the ipad to 64gb, it's another $100 plus tax. To upgrade a xoom, it's the price of a 32gb micro SD and possibly missing that second part. Not to mention you can upgrade it on your own after you buy it. You're not forced to decide before you buy it.

The guy didn't say the Xoom was worth the price, but rather Android Honeycomb is a really good operating system.

Brand New B&N Nook Colors for $134.99 free shipping!

Alright guys, so we all know the Kindle Fire is dropping next month, but for anyone looking for a Nook Color this deal cannot be beat!!
The seller is DailySteals, I have ordered from them before (Pixi Plus) with no problems at all.
Great price IMHO considering used ones still pull $160-180 and new ones go for $190-200 on eBay.

Just be forewarned, it's not going to arrive fast. They dispatch items like 7 days after you order than UPS Surepost is absolute rubbish.

I ordered the pick plus when they had it and got it in just a few days. So I think it depends.

i was thinking of buying the 20 dollar speakers. but i heard bad reviews about daily steals.... can some of you vouch for it? or should i not take the risk?
and what company do they ship it with? ups? usps? fedex? answers greatly appreviated

I ordered a Palm Pixi Plus from them last month when they had them for $24.99 and it only took like 3-4 days to get the phone. They either shipped USPS or Fedex, i can't remember but it didn't take that long

hpw was the quality of the phone?

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

Yeah the $35 is not for accidental damage. That is exactly what the insurance is for....sorry. You can find one on Ebay for about $125.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.
If nothing else, it's back to the Rumor 2 for her!!

they can give you an idea on cost vs buying a new or used phone. You can mail it to them or if you are in indy you can drop it off.

100$ for smart phone only 50$ for non smart phone

tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck

Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

Are those prices also for used Epics?
Granted, the new ones are with a new contract discount, but they also come with the packaging, manual, and headphones... and there are a couple other things about his other thread that seem a little weird, which makes me kinda wonder - it might just be the way he presents it, but the presentation is what hooks potential buyers - guess I'm not one of them

100 is fair..as long as it's in good working condition it's not a bad deal.
I wouldn't go lower than that Gordon, if lowballers aren't willing to pay a Benjamin, don't you worry, the devs aren't cheap. If they need it, they'll buy it. Perhaps a member in need will buy it if not a dev. I bought mine for 230$ when it first came out off-contract, but there's still people with money to blow who I could sell it to for 250$ if I felt like it, so $100 is fair if you ask me. Some people love to be on the contrary, they love it, just ignore it. Lol.

I found an epic on Craigslist which messed up during an update (battery ran out). So now it only boots to recovery.It has a clean ESN and its only $50. I've been planning on switching back to the epic for a while, so I'm going to jump on it.
I'm going to Odin it when I meet him to check the esn.

I think all the devs that want this phone have it. I doubt any new developer would want an epic this late in the game. Maybe an existing developer would want a second one.

For 800$ you could make a profit...even if you bought another one right out, off contract. But I've had some offers...a sprint rep offered my 600$ for it, cuz I walked in to get my number changed, and like that guy, they all KNEW, and they hadn't even seen one.
