Does the Xoom.......

let me see through objects with the camera?

No but it can let you time travel. Unfortunately your safety is not guaranteed under the factory warranty.

Pervert...

it's not as good as the Ipad then!

But it can see around corners.

While the Xoom camera is not able to allow you to see through solid objects (and I'm pretty sure the iPad can't either) it can turn into an x-wing fighter. Not sure how useful that feature is to you though.

Mine transformed into a stove top and started cooking bacon... surprisingly I got a speeding ticket as well.

But don't you have to spend hours searching the supermarket for exactly the right type of bacon?
Because, I heard it only cooks low profile bacon, which has to have a precise ratio of protein, to fat, to sodium nitrate.

Well yeah, but it will cook your eggs any way you want so...

Yeesh, what a ridiculous thread. I mean, who cares if Motorola promised that the Xoom would appoint the next Pope and end entropy for all time, but those won't be coming until sometime in the coming months? The iPad 2 will never be able to do those thing!!!

Mine doesn't do anything special. It just apears to be a regular notebook so if i leave it somewhere, nobody ain't gonna steal it

You mean it doesn't even have the fingerprint recognition so that if someone DID try to steal it they are sliced to pieces by lasers? I always thought that was standard!!?!!

Xoom can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

Xoom knows how to get to Sesame Street.

I call mine Xoom Norris. Any questions?

My Xoom travelled back in time to 2003 was seen by someone that knew a designer from apple and that word of mouth eventually spawned the iPhone then iPad!

Galaxy Note Review

I did a video review-type thing of the Galaxy Note. It's the first time I've done a video like this - please let me know what you think!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEJCVQA-VeE

Not bad bud, good explanations of the device, the only points I'd like to make is the quality of your video is quite low so moving freely reduces the appearance of a decent looking video. Also I think there is too much music going on in the background.. But these maybe are just personal preference.

Nice vid Dom. I agree with jamieross that the background music is a bit intrusive, also you give the wrong screen resolution; it's 1280x800 not 720. Apart from that,
enjoyed it.

Thanks Raines43!

Very nice but you quoted the screen res wrong. You said its 1280 x 720 (like Nexus?) but its actually a wider 1280 x 800. This is why it doesn't fit in the hand as easily as the Nexus.
It looked like a tech review on a BBC program. I wish more stuff on youtube was as good as this first attempt. So 4.5 stars. Would be 5 stars if you got the res correct. Well done!

Something is stock in the bezel...

Hi,..guys,.
I was just wiping my phone with microfiber cloth and to my sharp eyes...just above the power button...I stumble upon an object that is stuck between the bezel or the bezel it self has a flaw?. it measures about 0.5cm straight vertical line. I tried to take it out with a paper ...it's the only object that is thinner to pass thru the side of the bezel...but the object wont budge. or maybe it was the plastic bezel it self. Can I return this phone? And get a replacement?

Pretty sure that Google wouldn't replace the phone as its physical damage and it isn't necessarily defective by any means. Just get a case and cover it.

I think it's a manufacturer's flaw....that object wound't be there so deep...at first place. or maybe it's the plastic bezel it self. Well I payed for a phone that doesn't come with a flaw right? So that's my justification.

I don't know what it is or how it got there. You're best thing to do is to ask them to see what they would do for you. You didn't notice it until just recently it could of due to user fault. The bezel affects absolutely nothing on the phone and is a cosmetic problem.
Like again, just contact them and see what they can do. No body here can say otherwise

Not only does that phone need to go back, you should also start an online petition and force Andy Rubin himself to answer for why a 0.5cm line could possibly make it through Quality Control.. Google fails us again

Can't blame them. They had to meet supply for its demand. At least on a good note they have a really nice rma. You get to keep your phone while they send your replacement in with a temporary charge. When they receive the original device they take the charge off.

Every device or product made will have some sort of manufacturing defect. Nothings perfect. What matters is how the company responds to it. Like I said, they have a good rma service and they should be able to take care of your problem
Production for Nexus 4 is done in South Korea not China. They don't use child labor there or overwork them on ridiculous hours.

Temporary charge so they assure you that you send your device back otherwise you'd be charged with two of them. You'll get your money back.
I don't understand why you make such a big deal about it and then you're worried about a TEMPORARY charge? It's there so you don't keep two N4s.
For units that have been damaged after delivery, you may be charged an additional restocking fee of either 25% or 50% of the original purchase price based on the severity of damage. If we receive a return which has been damaged beyond repair, we may return the item to you without issuing a refund.

Call quality - very clear and loud. Perfect.
Wifi - i have recorded speeds of 25mb download
Battery - solely depends on case by case basis i have not used it to play games or watch videos yet and lasts me days and a half before it dies.
Ear phone - its ok for free ear phone. Other members in this forum rate these better.

If that is glass I might have to rethink this device. Part of what made the One so durable was the fact that it didnt have glass covering the whole front. Call me paranoid but covering the speaker grills with glass is likely going to result in busted glass. I really hope it's just reflection and glass dust but it doesn't appear that way so maybe I need to wait for drop test results.

No. The speaker grills are seperate. Look closely. Those are metal scratch on the grill and not from the glass extension.
