Sorta, sorta not. He was posting that Apple is going to get Flash before us (G1 owners). The us implied the Dream, therefore it's on-topic.

Well who knows but with the horse power apple has been showing in trying to stop competitors from advancing on their turf they may....you never know.
Where does it say that they are getting it first or even hint at that???
They are essentially saying that Adobe is going to revamp things to make Apple happy. This probably means starting from scratch (and them waiting longer). Adobe doesn't work on one project at a time, and Android is still in their hands.
I thought it would be interesting to share that it seems like the iPhone 4 suffers also from a far from perfect camera, in this video it appears to have a nasty blue hue in the center of the video.
This isn't intended as an iPhone 4 bashing thread, so please don't waffle on about how you hate the iPhone, it was just an interesting observation I thought I'd share.
There's also a problem with the antenna in the new iPhone.
Let's face it: there is just no perfect phone! ;-)
I am sure that there are plenty of forums for iPhone users to discuss the faults of their phone - so I think that is where this thread should be.
I will show no schadenfreude at the iPhone's problems. As much as I don't like the total control of Apple, they did revolutionise the mobile phone interface.
ugh! Pee stains. I guess someone left a surprise from foxconn. =P

I disagree, my Nokia 8210 works perfectly and has a battery life which has to seen to believed lol.
I do think it's a 'sign of the times' companies are just 'pushing the envelope' instead of evolving exsisting technology to perform more efficiently. It does make for very interesting tech though .
How??
Camera and reception problems!!!!!
I wonder how r they gonna fix those???

This is just brilliant, Steve Jobs, I salute you!
I've been hearing about the problems with the signal for the last couple of days.
It would appear that Apple are not satisfied with just telling Developers what and how to develope apps for their phone but now they feel the need to tell the end customer how to use the phone as well lol.
A more appropriate name for the iPhone 4 would have been 'iCommunist 4' lol.
On a side note, if the drop in signal is caused by the users hand conductivity, I would suggest just coating the effected area of the phone in a clear lacquer and this should resolve the issue.

Omg, that is simply amazing! Steve even tells you how to hold the phone correctly, "Just avoid holding it in that way." ROFL!
What gets me is how review after review continue to rave how great the new iphone is without a whisker of a thought as to the negatives.
Its time that reviewers got of their high horse and thoroughly reviewed the iphone worts and all.
But wait....its steve jobs baby so any negative would see a defamation case against reviewer...
Not to bash iphone or anything but did you guys hear the crap with that photons thing on the camera technology in new iphone..
The apple fans would have been salivating big time with that hoopla from jobs...
but wait.....
Jobs now wants iphone 4 users to hold their gem in a unique aficionado way...what next?
Simplest solution of mine: DO NOT OWN IT, SO WON'T TOUCH IT AT ALL.
Now, HTC, when will you guys release the GSM version of the Evo 4G, quick!

You do realize this is a HD2 forum, right? And what does this have to do with the HD2? And you say you don't want to hear about people hating the iphone, yet you post this in a WinMo phones forum, where most people probably either hate the iphone or don't care.
It's a bit silly to hate a phone isn't it?

Got an officemate who was showing off his "upgraded" 3GS with multitasking. Just told them I already had that about 10 yrs ago with my Orang Tanager Windows Mobile. He wasn't even sure if he could close the running apps or just hide it.
My gf walked past the Apple store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
They had barriers outside to cope with 70-80 people.
There was 1 person in the queue!
The shop was open and had only about 10 people inside (including staff) but like an unpopular nightclub, they were forcing people to wait outside in a failed attempt to look like they were busy
What a bargain...

The first step is admitting to yourself, god, and another human being that you are powerless against android.
I'm addicted to android to the point of hating WP7 for taking nokia away from us
Yes, you do have a problem. In fact, many who post on xda do. Fortunately, there is hope. Well, actually there isn't but that's what my shrink tells me. Oh well, time to make another Nandroid

The next phase of your andriod addition is to completely omit any mention of Apple or iOS as if they didn't even exist.
Yes you have a problem. It does not matter what phone/OS you use. None of them are better then any other one. They all have good points and bad points. If you find yourself hating one, the problem is that you are inflexible and closed minded.
If that is ALL you talk about, then yes you've got a problem.
There are other things out there: beer, sports, the opposite sex, penguins, etc.
Hi,

Oh goodness... I can only imagine the riot that statement's gonna cause.
I'm open minded to why simple, trendy, non-techie people like iOS. And I feel no hate towards them for it. But for me iOS can't hold a candle to Android. It's all about freedom. Freedom to customize and make the phone your own. Every iphone looks and functions the same, within the safe walls of that garden, unfortunately.

pulling your brand spanking new Xoom out in the wild. Such as on the bus or train or in the middle of the street. I dunno i always get that kind of apprehensive feeling using my new toys in public especially when they are brand new to everyone. People look at you like a pretentious pr!ck and engage in commentary amongst themselves. I know i shouldn't even be thinking otherwise. But im tired of feeling like i have to spare other people my toy joy simply because they cant afford some of the things i can. I work damn hard for my money and should be able to enjoy it without hearing curt comments from some jerk who's busy minding my business.
anyone else feel this way?
Of the things that would embarrass me to pull out in public, a tablet isn't one of them.
I hate the question "Is that an iPad?" or "Oh, it's just like an iPad."
No it's not it's better!

To the OP, don't feel embarrassed. Those people are probably just confused and talking amongst themselves as to why you have an ipad2
Lol i whip my Xoom out everywhere.i love it!
OP I was thinking about this today, and have thought about it before. I kinda feel like a **** when I pull out my brand new phone or laptop thats far more expensive than the people around me. I get the feeling people are just thinking I'm trying to show off lol.
I'm a college student and I'm pretty sure people would just think I'm trying to flaunt money if I pulled out a brand new Xoom and just started browsing between classes, while the people around me text on their feature phones lol. I'm not worried per se, just kinda been thinking about it.

I got this when I first bought my Evo 4G on launch day. "Oh, is that an iPhone?". I just wanna be like "If you're so retarded that you don't know the difference between this and the iPhone, you're not smart enough to use this device." I feel like I'd do something similar for the Xoom lol.
For some reason I'm more annoyed when people call my Nexus One a "Droid" then if they ask if its an iPhone.
I know what you're saying. I'm the same way, just aware of the ways people perceive things. Definitely doesn't stop me from whipping this bad boy out. And then taking out my Xoom.

I was in the airport earlier today and felt this to a T! I felt like such a douche... I know it's dumb to feel that way, but yeah, I definitely felt awkward like some kid pulling up in his Dad's new Porsche.
yeah, i had same exact feelings after purchasing iPad1 on launch day.
A LOT of looks, and chattering amongst themselves about it.
- some negative, some positive
I can't even count how many times I've been asked "is that an ipad"?" "What's a xoom?" "Is that like an ipad?" I've given up explaining it lol.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Lol I'm just glad I'm not the only one. So far I'm running about a 50% douche ratio. Half the times I've had my Xoom with me on the train I chose to pull it out and play with it unabashedly. Don't ask me why but it just bothers me when people assume I'm being a **** and showing off when I'm not. I bought the damn thing specifically for this purpose. Mobile entertainment.
Buts its kinda diff in a NYC subway, kind of polarized. If you're not from or never been. A NYC subway car is a melting pot of technology and status. The poorest homeless man to the Mayor of NY(richest man in NY) take the train.
The only major variable is mobile tech because it sometimes surprising to see who owns what kind of gadget. Such as in my instance I'm self employed(no dress code) so while the business exec on one side of me has his iPhone 4 and the housewife on my other has a flipphone. Here comes little old me looking like some unshaved college student who's mom hasn't gotten around to doing his laundry pulls out the most advanced piece of tech to hit the market(this week lol) its a lot of pressure because its a literal "whose is bigger" contest where the only outcome is scepticism because there's no way this lowly member of the unwashed masses is packing like that. Lol
i feel a little akward. It is 10 inches! Seriously though my town is pretty behind the times so I have yet to see any tablets anywhere public outside of starbucks even ipads! . Getting a case helps makes it feel more like just a little notebook when I am carrying it.
It will pass and someday we will find it hard to imagine everyone didn't have one.
What's weird to me is the assumption that other people can't afford it...lol. However, I do know what you mean about taking out expensive gadgets. I was flying to Vegas the day after the ipad launched and had to answer a million and one questions on the flight there and back. I like to be left alone while I play.

Hello Atrix users. Actually I cant't call myself an owner of an Atrix, but I saw this interesting test of germanys most importand recognized product testing foundation. They've tested and compared several smartphones and therefore, the Iphone is placed 1. marked with "2.0", which is like "B" in the US. But it has to share its 1. place with the Atrix. Moto's device was marked with "2.0" also. This is just the opinion of the news corespondent. I think, the Iphone has to share its 1. place with such a great device.
Im confused...what am I doin' here? I don't even own an Atrix.

On the official Website you have to pay to see test results. Here's a link to a german newspage with the report I was talkin about. I hope you do understand the language. If you don't, just post the needed part and I'll translate it analogously.

The Atrix is "as good" as the 4S? Pfft, it takes the cake in MANY ways... #1 NO ITUNES!!! That alone makes it 10x better than any Iphone or apple product. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate any more, we all know why we have Atrix's and not iFails...

If you let it translate by "translate.google.xxx" some parts of the report will not make sense because you can't translate german into english directly.

Word! But the thing which is hated by Android users is not the hardware. It must be admittet their hardware is...quite awesome. What we hate is (I just guess) their methods and their spamminglike lawsuits against samsung and htc. In your case, it's Itunes.
This statement doesn't mean I like Apple. Oh god, NO! I can't stand any kind of hardware on which I can see an apple. Last time I had an apple device in my hands it has ended in a brutal fight between the Iphone 3gs, my new desk and the sledgehammer of my uncle...it was the Iphone of my ex...she has cheated on me...she called me "psychotic", so I tried to make a call on her phone with a hammer, obviously it didn't work.
