Look at this new android Phone!

Woah! this is super cool. Would You get it?
http://www.itechdiary.com/samsung-i...-super-amoled-display-and-pico-projector.html

that's ugly, anything that looks like an iphone is bad looking lol

It don't look anything like an iPhone, it looks like a typical Samsung.

Specs might be nice and I'm intrigued by the projector but that is one ugly phone and its made by Samsung, I wouldn't be interested in owning one.

Horrible!
I´ll stay with HTC!!!

knowing samsung, the build quality will be shocking.
But I do like the idea of having a projector on a phone, as long as the output is decent quality. Beats having to look at a screen to watch a movie! Specs are nice though.... but it is going to be so wide, surley. Imagine dropping it as well...

the kids with the TI-89's gave me hell when I was rocking the superior HP-49g in college. Little did they know that my calculator could, quite literally, divide by zero. Symbolically of course but it would do it. The 4Mhz O/C'd saturn processor for the win!

Who ever can get one of the new laser based pico projectors from AAXA or Microvision into a smartphone without killing battery life will get my money... hopefully by that time I'll either have saved up enough pennies or the cost of the lasers will have come down

Motorola tablet ad, I just don't get it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quI2I8wLPdc
Is there anyone else that just doesn't get it?
So iPad is just a large iPhone, highly original motorola
But what abouut Moto's tablet? If the iPad is mocked as being a large version of the phone ccounterpart, then isn't this tablet just a larger Droid X? ...but without the phone (that's similar to the iPad!).

I think it's a well good advert! Kinda funny too

Yeah I thought the first bit was quite funny, but as soon as they said the iPad was a giant iPhone I just cringed.

Well, I was planning to get the ten commandments tablet for reading e-books, but my pastor advised against it. He said that the bible is much longer and ten verses ain't gonna get me to heaven, despite what Moses said on his blog.
So I guessed I would get the Hieroglyphic tablet but I hate to learn another new programming language just to use it. Learning Java was bad enough but I've never heard about Egyptian. Good news is that it seems to be OOPL from the depiction of eagles and sun though...
Now, should I be getting that Rosetta stone for Christmas? Where do they have it in stock? I'm intrigued by its multi-lingual capabilities. With XDA's help we could really turn it into a Hitchhiker's Guide to Tablets, don't you think? But it might be hard to carve "Don't Panic" onto it, I think...
So, any suggestions guys?

Why isnt Playstation Vita a phone?

i am so freaking mad that the ps vita isnt a phone . Why not? i just dont understand. It would save me carrying two devices.

Vita is a full fledged gaming and media device... Phones are phones... You can't mix the two and have a great product ..... One its too much tech to be in a smaller frame... And the battery life would suck donkey toes, and it would cost bout a good 800

I don't really think it matters much. If you give it about another year or two smartphones will be as powerful if not more powerful than handheld gaming devices. I can really see the handheld gaming market getting phased out. Its already in the process

I don't see that happening for a while yet, at least a decade.
Folk wisdom in the 80s used to be that due to the versatility and power of personal computers, dedicated gaming consoles were dead after the '84 crash.
Look how well that turned out.
I see the dedicated handheld market slowly plodding along towards digital distribution, similar to computer and console gaming but the mechanics and process won't be the same.
Dedicated portable gaming market will die when battery technology is sufficient enough that spending any serious amount of time gaming on our cellphones, especially resource and network intensive games, won't require us to have a charger or spare battery nearby.

Vita is a full fledged gaming device, and if they have fit in so much already into a small frame, and have throwed in 3g, why not a antenna? That would just make it a ultimate device (which my rom tries to achieve ), just throw in fb and twitter and your all good. Then vita will own ALL the handheld market

I do agree that smart phones are quickly gaining ground on dedicated handheld gaming machines, but even as smart phone technology improves, so does technology behind dedicated gaming devices. The difference is that in order for smart phones to remain in competition with gaming devices, they need multiple hardware and software upgrades before the next handheld gaming generation releases. I'm not so sure the handheld gaming market will be phased out entirely.

I think once an elegant way to figure out how to add good analog controls to a phone is found the stand alone market will be further eroded. Xperia PLAY is a step in the right direction but is somewhat half-baked.

Because Sony has a gaming phone.

Actually it is, an Android phone. There is already a version of the PSP known as the Xperia Play.

If the phone has 3G, an ATT sim card, and a microphone, then why do you all think some industrious developer won't just plug in the sim from one of his actual phone accounts and dev an app that allows you to make phone calls?
Just sayin.
As to holding a phone up to your face, haven't you heard of a bluetooth headset?

[Q] Do the "normal" users like the IOS over the android look?

Hello there,
I am using my HTC Desire with android for nearly two years now and I really like it. I've installed a lot of apps in this time and I noticed, that some of the apps have a really strong IOS influenced look, even if they're android only.
So what do you all think about that?
Cheers

Yes they do. Lots of average people choose Android because that lots of their devices are cheap. That is why lots of apps have an iOS feel and look
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

I would have to say no. Alot of people choose android because they don't like apple at all. The main people that use IOS looking apps and roms are normally new smartphone users.

That or people who appreciate decent design... even a design aesthetic.
It's a trait /many/ android apps (and sometimes the OS in general) appears to lack.

That's the great thing about android. You can make it look anyway you want. I mean sure alot of people like the iPhone look I guess but most hardcore android users don't. Personally I don't like how IOS looks at all. Everytime I see it it makes me think of my kids toys.

Thats what I think too. I respect the apple devs out there. Its a quite fine system but it isn't the sort that I want to use.

If that is what you want to imply, then I call BS (if not I apologize).
For me it's a difference of philosophies between the two companies, and even though iOS is at times easier to use or at least more accessible for new smartphone-users, it's not the system for me.

I don't see a point to all the fuss, especially at that price. Apparently hardly any programs can even utilize that resolution so it scales it down anyways. If you're a video/photo editor then I can easily see the benefit. But for so many others who just use it for facebook and MS word, what's the point?

Not even so much video editing, unless you're working with 2k or 4k resolution. And if you were, you'd know right away, when the computer can't do anything in real time.

Besides the ridiculous pricing and the lack of programs supporting the screen's ability, I refuse to support Apple so long as their business practices include the inane lawsuit wars that they have been waging. I really don't care about the eliteist toolbags who use them sometimes because we have PC/Android/etc users who are the same, but I won't give a one cent to a company who conducts business like Apple does.

I still want this thing, and it didn't help that i checked out The Verge's review.

I read their review, on the machine itself, then took the pictures. The review doesn't really show how good the display is in real life. I really, really want to dual boot ML and W8 on it and turn it into a HDTV, along with finding an external Blu-Ray drive for it.
It's shocking how far ahead they are in build quality against the PC manufacturers.

Exactly. I want to dual/trippel boot OSX/Win7/W8. I'm not a gamer but it's also nice to know that it'll run most games just fine.

Not a good idea. The retina display means nothing but trouble with regards to Windows. Windows doesnt do well with really high resolutions. Don't expect any gaming at all either. The 650m isn't a terrible card, but if you put it under much stress, expect a lot of overheating. That chassis is just way to small to deliever adequate cooling.
Tldr: If you want windows, buy a native windows machine this time around.
