Wow.. That's almost scary .. the future is now! god I miss my Coleco-vision Space Invaders game.

Very nice, I want it!!

nice, its like from Minority Report movie, but it is real
I like copying between devices, also GoogleEarth is nice.

I like the tochscreen computer.. .Really amazing,the computer looks like a toy.

omg I just had back-to-back geekasms

When I saw the first news articles about this thing, I though the only innovation in it was the big multitouch screen. (which would make it nothing more than an oversized tablet) but the idea of wirelessly autosyncing device just by putting them on the screen is nice.
One point though: How many of you would place a drink on a 10000$ computer screen?
P.S.
Mike: Now that VJ seems to have droped out of site (for the past few month) its nice to have someone keep up with "FunnyPic"(TM) replies.

Lol, when it comes to geek/real life cross overs, this one always makes me chuckle, and also, a little nervous (I have venustraphobia).

I think what's most interesting about this device is the department that made it, the same that makes gadgets and Zune. But consider: Scoble saw this two years ago. Think what they're upto now? It took them 2 years to fix the SMS counter on MS Smartphones, so maybe they've finally got SMS <> Outlook syncing working now!
@levenum: I've been working (Law, not phones ) for a while, apologies for my hypospermia. But, I have been coding too, and boy it felt good! Lots of new stuff coming out, eventually...
Missed you guys,

PS I wrote a multi touch interface once, on a small screen. But on 2.8 inches there's not much it's good for IMHO. Any thoughts?

Well, it they're $5000-$10,000 initially by the end of '07, that should make 'em affordable to the rest of us in 3-5 years. Now if it will just MIX the drink AND serve it.....

holy..balls that is sweet

Does Voice command just hate me ?

Just wondering how youd rate speed/accuracy for voice dialing.
I find it absolutely abysmal.
Its never accurate , it RARELY includes the people # source I want , even if its a list of them. Its also ridiculously slow.
Im coming over from PPC so Im used to VC being much faster and accurate.
Could it be my utterly masculine voice being hard to "hear" for it ?
I can't even get close to making it understand numbers, but can call contacts by name.
It doesn't understand steriod abused voices like your's or arnold's. So yes it hates you
With a title like this do you really expect a real answer.
Yo I'm back b!tches
Yo supreme, you see we got a thread closed and I was only up from my nap for just a few minutes
Hell yea. I was bout to say something on there then was like dam. Seems like the mod got a kick out of it, along with everyone else. Execpt for the one guy that pointed the finger.

Android Icon based tabs( Coming Soon - or later )

I don't know how much you guys pay attention to what goes on in the other sections of this forum but since I still own a Fuze as well as the HD2 I wanted to make sure you guys knew what I was still up to.
I made an Android 3D model a bit ago and offered it to the public to use as they wanted if they just asked for the file. Well nobody asked to use him so I guess I can waste some time here and there and get out a set of tabs. I'm not saying it will happen fast, but today I started from scratch with the other models like the phone,MMS,headphones,Footprint,etc..... I have him placed with several of them so far but with all the tabs that are out there right now it will be awhile till I have each of them made.

Just eleven more to do,lol........
Edit: was made later this eveing
New eMail icon. The other one looked odd in that direction plus it didn't allow me to use him at full size to the envelope.
Ok so what would poeple rather see...............
Him in Blue as shown above
or
Green like in the new Web icon?
those look great ...green or blue both are cool looking
Not totally happy with it but you get the idea. I'll just have to redo the shadowing. It's all wrong for the arrow.
How do you guys feel about a TwitterDroid?
Docs tab but I will have to do some work on this one but it's there for the most part.
Contacts......
One more.....What do you think for a weather icon?
I think they are pretty neat, and a little cute. LOL love em. U have a Hero and a Touch Pro, glad I saw these, made my night. Looks like a lot of hard work, nice job.
I have an HD2 and a Fuze(Touch Pro) I do not have a Hero.
Settings ......
I cleaned up the settings icon. I kind of rushed it the last time and short cut doing some things. Even this last one is not fully up to my specs but it will do for now. I have plowed out most of the tabs I'm going to do. Out of 17 total I have 3 more left.
Updated twitter icon possibly???????
they all look great Wil
Most likely the new Music Icon
Pictures & Video
Well I thought I would throw some humor into missed calls. If anybody has any ideas for something better I'm all ears. I can't think of anything I want to render for it.

There is no other way.
Be patient and once you become an active member with more posts you´ll have all XDA features unlocked
Yeah, I read that it was like 12 posts or something? I'm not worried about it, i hate spam bots just as much as anyone else.
Okay so more about me now
I'm from Cincinnati, OH, always had a love for electronics, gaming, mma, and cars.
We'll start with the electronics, I am currently using the temp rooted overclocked HTC Vision :G2 and am loving every second of it.
I play a ton of xbox 360 (COD, Halo, UFC) also have a modded console, and such.

had 7 of them for a while, bought broken ones and fixed them, had a Jtag also.
And onto cars, I had my dream car, but wasn't the right time to own it, so I sold it. I am currently just driving around a 05 civc.
Meet my 94 Supra TT
Hope this all works out for a better introduction. Like I said, I hope to stay an active member, as I'd really like to know how to create apps and such.
That is the best introduction i have ever seen!!!
I my self are a xbox 360 fixing enthusiast!
I got a premium for free not reading discs and it only cost me £40 for a new drive!
then i got an elite for free with rrod, but i couldn't fix it. So i got £26.09 when i sold it on eBay.
So i bought a Ps3 off eBay that didn't read discs and that come to a total of £118, and they are about £160 second hand.
Anyway, nice supra!
Thanks man, I really tried to wait until I could kinda show everything, besides just talking about it. If anyone ever really needs me, I'll probably be hanging out in the G2 section, until I get put on a concession line and get the incredible, and Evo

Put WP7 on this BB and I'd freak out

This is gorgeous. The only problem? It has Blackberry OS all over it stinking it up to high Valhalla. Put WP7 on it and I'd run you all over to get to it.

not bad, it actually looks nice
now it'll take a real test drive to see if it can actually type as fast as the older keyboard design
Why the hell would you want to have WP7 on that? Small screen, physical qwerty to make absolutely no use of your epicly smooth keyboard ... And you can run all over my cat to get to that thing, stupid expensive. lol

LMAO! hahahaha...I have two cats.
Down to one, and it's the adopted one that was beaten and, apparently, talked down to for years. And has developed a puking streak. Actually, don't step on him, apart from the puking he is a sweet guy. lol
I will admit, that is a pretty sexy device ...

Yeah, both of my girls are special to me. My older one has a puking issue also. I have to keep her one food and never alter it. Any changes and her stomach can't take it. My other one is a female Garfield. She's a garbage disposal. Wherever there is food being eaten, her little eyes will be watching it and she will make sure everyone sees her. She's a little butterball.
Yeah, designed by Porche is definitely a plus.

WTF did I sign into twitter

So, I'm sitting here having a coffee, grooving a little because this DJ always spins up the best grooves, and I decide - sure, goto twitter one time. I never do, and I was just reminded why. I've had 3 accounts there since they started - logged in maybe 3 or 4 times, nothing there at all for me.
But, you know - I go there, curiosity, whatever. News...
First thing I see - M&M's, yaaaay, a piece of candy, represented in advertising by some cartoons, seeks to become more inclusive and represent society better.
wut?
Are they fuk'n serious? Are people serious? Some folks making a candy feel bad because their fictional candy characters don't represent everybody? Wut? THey don't feel anything - somebody cried a little that one time and a company decided to try to make them feel better? SO they would keep buying candy?
Are they fuk'n serious? People (lol, people) are actually talking about this. They feel a way - have a thing to say?
Are they fuk'n serious?
Then, I see that Meat Loaf died.
Oof. That guy - that debut album - me trying to croon with him in the rumpus room on full blast....I was 10 when that album came out, bought it a year or 2 later, my 2nd album - played it 'till my fingers bled, was the summer of '69...wait
see what I did there? Art has meaning. The word, language, commonality - that sh*t has meaning. Meat loaf taught me stuff my parents couldn't even spell, sang to me, with me, for me, about me. Put a little sense where there was none, made my ****ty life a little better by putting heartache in a place it couldn't do (more) damage. He didn't write those songs, Jim Steinman did. Might as well have been John and Paul, Elton and Bernie...
Here's to Meat Loaf one time, and Ellen and JIm, for putting it down, making the sun shine brighter.

Always get a kick out of seeing that guy'. If I weren't so ugly we would be twins!
