The blackberry playbook is amazing!

Got the chance to play with the blackberry playbook and this thing is amazingly fast almost as fast as ipad2. Multitasking is mind boggling i tried running 4 hd videos simultaneously and never had a single hickup. I love the interface a lot better than an ipad and android. Hulu works in the browser as its a full web browsing experience. The lcd screen is as good as the ipad if not better as the color is more saturated the only downside is the fewer apps available. The dual core texas instrument 1ghz processor with parallel multitasking does makes the difference its so much fun to use.

Curious, how does one run 4 HD videos at once?

Seems okay but still think I will opt out for the ipad2 just cause its more well put together tablet and it just works. Like the fact you will be able to run some android apps on it, don't like the fact that you MUST have an blackberry(with the bb data plan) to fully use the tablet at times.

I got the first gen iPad but the lack of full web functionality turned me off after a while. Not being able to view... practically half of the internet because of the lack of flash was a big thing for me. That and the fact that, while it's a great machine and great for what it does, it's kind of limited in what all it can really do.
iOS is boring; to me anyway. And after the initial magic and shine wore off... there was really nothing interesting to do with the device.

Yeah I think I am on the same boat. Ios is very limited. Looking into getting the playbook this weekend.

the camera video quality is awesome

Good,good,good

Indeed it is... Can't wait to get my hands on mine.
If anyone is looking for a tower defense game with a twist I suggest checking out Lonely Turret for the Blackberry Playbook (I know the dev ). I've tried the game out on a simulator and became addicted quickly - looking forward to trying it out on the actual playbook myself. But definitely give it a look if you have a playbook and want a good game.

Intesting. I had only heard bad things about the device until now. I wonder if they'll backpedal on the whole "you need a BB phone" fiasco. It really makes no ****ing sense.

I don't think they'll quite go back on it; doing so would look bad for the company and show Co dimers a big feature they worked hard on just to To can in the end.

So, coming from Blackberry World and posting from my Playbook, RIM has definitively said the Bridge requirement will be gone by mid June. The standalone PIM apps were demo'd multiple times. And, of course, a Sprint LTE version is coming then as well.
No specific date on the Android player yet, although it was demo'd live as well. The Android apps that were shown were brought over without assistance from the original devs and no source required. It's just a repackage of the apk.
This hardware is fantastic and QNX is blazing fast.

Yeah I really like the look of this tablet. Also all of the things that are flaws with it atm, seem to be getting ironed out by RIM soon. The intuitive way RIM have even done the controls for the Android player are awesome. The only thing I'd say is they could have brought it out in a 7" and 10" model just for choice as if you're really looking for compact, you could pickup the 7" but if you're looking at buying it for the media aspect you could just buy the 10". But it's RIM's first tablet so I can see why they only brought out the one size... Now to start saving.

Oh yeah I'm also wondering how RIM are going to handle the updating of Android apps. It would be cool if there was a program made that would convert the apk's to what ever file type is needed for the QNX OS.
Oh and of course, what hacking (if any) is going to be like. All to look forward to.

Sorry for the delayed response
A 10" version is planned. Expect it before the end of the calendar year.
Also, the .bar file format on the Playbook is not much different from a .apk file. It is just a compressed file with some metadata. All the developer has to do is unzip and rezip their current release essentially. I am sure there is a tool in the SDK for developers to rezip their app.
I would imagine it won't be long before an after the fact tool is available to users so they can take an apk from their phone and turn it into a bar file.

Do you know when QNX will be showing up on the smartphones ? I heard OS 7 will be mixed with it ( QNX ).

The Playbook definitely looks tempting, too bad you can't get it here in Australia plus the lack of a 10 incher now means I'm looking for a transformer

I hate to break it to you, but Android is probably the most diverse smartphone OS you're gonna find. The iPhone is locked down tight, and WM7 doesn't seem nearly as much fun to play with (in my opinion). Have you rooted your Evo? If so, maybe you should try different types of ROMs? The Sense 3.0/2.1 ROMs are very nice, and Cyanogenmod is a slick (yet drastic) change from Sense ROMs.

Exactly. If android bores you than your not gonna last more than a day or two with WP7 or iOS. Also, the only hardware anywhere near as powerful as what you have is going to come on one of those 3 platforms. Root your phone, theme your phone, do anything you want, but android is surely your best bet at staying entertained.

I have rooted my phone with everything and I just can't find something that satisfies me anymore.

Totally agree. I played around with my brother's iPhone and it is not exciting at all. Apple does have good games and better tested apps but the phone itself is boring. I jailbroke my iPod Touch 4 cause I wanted something similar to the android experience.

Meego is an Open Source Project and some developer has already
ported Meego on Nexus One and other devices with snapdragon processor similar to Nexus one .

Its a dead horse, but nokia tries to ride it...

I have to admit that it looks pretty good, too bad it comes out so late.

I completely agree. That was my first thought when watching this video. If it doesn't have an ample amount of apps available to users, it'll go no where even if it is a fantastic phone.

MeeGo doesn't really matter. When the phone comes out, the main question will be "When will somebody put CyanogenMod 7 on it?" Notice I didn't use "how" or even "why". It's a when. And WHEN that floodgate opens... we just might have a bonafide camera phone.

I had a Nokia N900 for a while. Good phone, really good developer community. It's just a shame that they've stuck so firmly to their own OSs for so long. If they're going to go WP7 that's a step in the right direction but android would win them a lot of good favour.

IMO it's much easier to write apps for MeeGo than Android. MeeGo uses the cross-platform (read: porting of desktop KDE apps to the mobile has already started) Qt Framework, which has a really nice API (Qt Mobility espacially for smartphones). It's really a joy to use this toolkit. All your developed applications can run on your desktop OS (Linux, Windows, Mac OS) and on your phones and tablets (Android, MeeGo, iOS port is currently developed..).
I'd love to see a port of this OS to some (more) Android phones. I tried to run it under my Desire HD, but I can't get the software rendering to work.

now i think i got the reason to purchase this phone

Your Best Features of Android/Nexus?

What do you think are the best features that your nexus 4 is capable off.
Personally I think the fact you can use it as a gaming console (ps3 controller and hdmi output) is a fantastic feature of the phone.
Also the fact I can use it as a tablet type device by reading pdfs (essential for work) and as a media centre with the music and films.
What are your favourite features of this phone and of android in general?
This could be a useful thread for people to learn about things they weren't aware of . So what aspects do you enjoy the most?

The communities these devices generate.. All the way back from lurking SDX Developers to present day to being a heavy poster on XDA.. I've enjoyed every minute I lurk and post on these boards. You meet some interesting folks, you have some great laughs, some not so great arguments, and more importantly constantly learning... If you're willing to listen.. There is always someone around here willing to help another person out.. All you gotta do is ask.. And if you get bored.. You can pick any thread in the development section, start from page one and just read.. You're bound to learn something new..

The best feature of Android is IMO that it is open source and the best feature of the Nexi is IMO that they run clean Android and have full fastboot support.

having used an Android phone since the OG Galaxy S (Captivate), i've really come to love that the Nexus isn't locked to any particular carrier, and has no bloatware. in the past, i've always felt like i had to root and ROM my phones the moment i got them, just to get rid of AT&T's craptastic pre-loaded apps. i've had my N4 for nearly 3 whole months and haven't found a NEED to mod it at all (i still may in the future because of a desire to, but the need isn't there).
that's why i love the Nexus...

The Dev community.

I've been firmly entrenched in Apple's ecosystem for almost 30 years, and while most apps still exhibit more polish on iOS... Android is catching up.
Nexus 7 was the first Android device that impressed me, and Nexus 4 is more of the same. While I initially missed the ability to communicate via AppleEvents to my server, I managed to solve that problem and there is now very little iOS abilities I miss on Android.

Quality apps man, think I might switch to Apple now.
You actually need to type into an app like notepad on a Windows PC, then copy and paste your gesture typed text into where you wanted it.
I wonder why there isn't a decent swype keyboard on iOS? I suppose apple themselves are maybe too scared to implement it into their OS because they won't want people to think they are copying android. Mind you - notifications anyone....
Wonder why there isn't a 3rd party one though...?

Apple will probably incorporate a gesture keyboard into a future iOS revision, call it "the best gesture keyboard invented ever" and then sue Google/Samsung/Swype for violating Apple patents.

Apple will probably incorporate a gesture keyboard into a future iOS revision, call it "the best gesture keyboard invented ever" and then sue Google/Samsung/Swype for violating Apple patents.

They haven't had anything innovative since, well pretty much the first iPad/iPhone series.

Apple has always been the same. Their computers were the same...a couple variants...minor changes from year to year. And no one else can use their os. Well...hardly anyone uses their PC's as a result. They managed to make one good phone...and year after year make very slight changes. Ipad now too.
But thanks to the phones and ipads they make money. Cause the tech unsavvy go with the flow.
But they gotta be the least innovative company on earth. Slowly people are seeing this and slowly apple will die off...unless they make serious changes to their ideals.
Rim is becoming, or became, similar.
Android as things are today will take over the mobile world in time.
Again.....unless apple and even rim change their tunes.

Completely agree, with your two word post People say 'apple just works'.
The fact is, now android can be simple, and 'just works' if thats what you want it to do, but the possibilities are there to do whatever the hell you like to your device, as they should be when you've just paid a large amount of money for it.
You can leave it standard and simple (does anyone?), or mod it to within an inch of its life. I do understand though that there is a market for technically unsavvy fashionistas who think that the latest iDevice elevates them somehow into a superior being. Sad really. My experience. My opinion. Based on people I know personally. Not all of the iPhone owners I know, some are just ignorant lol
All locked down is just boring, jailbreaking your iPhone makes it run slower lol, and you still can't do whatever you like with it.
Android is, and has always been the way forward to me. Nothing to do with blind brand loyalty. I didn't mean to make this an Apple hate thread or anything.
Do not even get me started on the way that apple go about conducting their 'business'. It should be criminal.
I once owned an iPod for about a month. Then I was enraged with iTunes. I then bought an iRiver HP120. Man, let me tell you that the sheer sound quality of that thing with good 'phones made hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I used it. Drag and drop heaven too.
I never bought an Apple device again, and unless they change their ways something silly, never would again. But even then, the way in which they conduct business has put me off for life.
Don't tell me that's fanboyism.
