This is kind of disappointing. I was hoping that Android wouldn't be relegated to obscurity. And it isn't because of the "competition is good...one of us one of us" thing. They were the best hope for increasing the quality of phones from HTC and such. __________________ " You call *this* archaeology? " • Professor Henry ...

There are some really silly posts in this thread to be honest given the Android OS's current relative obscurity in the market and the fact that it's very much a work in progress - the G1 was, frankly, ugly and others have not been good. However, the Sense UI equipped handsets from HTC - starting with the Hero - look to change that and give the brand prominence. I also think ...

NOT a license problem This article is poorly informed, and Robin Harris needs to do a bit more digging before presenting suppositions as truth. If Apple's main reason for giving ZFS the cold shoulder was the type of open source license the ZFS code base is available under, they would have also not have included DTrace starting ...

Quote: Marketers often ask the question "would you prefer 100% of nothing or 40% of something huge?" Stupid question here, if ZFS is GPLed and Apple is able to use it freely, what is Sun supposed to be getting 40% of? __________________ "In the room was the last person on ...

Flash chip size: IIRC the biggest flash chips available are 64Gb (~bit) and not 64GB (~byte). This means you had to stuff 16 of 'em into an iPod touch 128GB, this wont happen. Not this year. Maybe next, but read on. iPod classic: Although there *may* be a demand for even bigger classics or classics with huge flash capacities, some thing remain to consider: The demand...
