I guess this is the right part to post this thread, since it's off-topic... And I tried a search and didn't find anything, so here it is: an E3 2012 thread
It's that time of year again, the Electronic Entertainment Expedition, or E3 for short! The biggest, and best, gaming event of the year. What are you looking forward for? Are you expecting to hear anything about specific software/hardware/accesories? Do you care about E3? Will you be watching any of it?
I, personally, am waiting for the Nintendo conference. More news on the Wii U and hopefully a surprise Metroid game because that would be awesome! I also hope Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 gets a release mention for the Wii, though I guess that's unlikely
So, what about you guys?
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

I will watch it on G4, the only good thing about still having cable. I would say that BO2 will come out for the WiiU, but only once the WiiU is out. However, I am having a really hard time getting myself interested in CoD anymore. Also I doubt it will have anywhere close to the following of XBox or PS, at least for a few years until everyone has a WiiU. I'm looking forward to more info on BioShock Infinite and Dishonored, which looks like Bethesda's version of a BioShock clone. I would say GTA V but I doubt Rockstar shows up at E3, they will prob announce something a day or 2 before and steal E3's thunder.

I cannot wait to see what Halo 4 is going to turn out like. Also, I wonder if any new consoles will be announced?

I didn't even know about it before like one hour ago. I had IGN subscribed on Youtube, and I saw new Splinter Cell revelation trailer! Oh my goodness!

Apple makes great products. Google makes great software. Microsoft now provides interesting and exciting experiences.
I own a MacBook Pro, a SGSII, a Focus Flash, and soon the Nexus 7. Every device and manufacturer has their ups and downs, but don't project your issues onto them just because you blindly like one and not the other. I program for a living. Hell, I work at a big tech company; I know my way around these mobile OS' internals and their GUIs. They're all solid barring small issues. Open your eyes and realize that you could be enjoying more of the tech world if you take your blinders off.

Have you ever even owned a Mac? A lot of people bash each other (especially against Macs) without ever using the OS.. Try owning both and then you'll have credibility when you speak.. But then again if you were to try a Mac, you wouldn't have anything to complain about.

I'll tell you about a flashback: finding my uncle's old portable phone. Not mobile, portable, as in a huge leather case that contained an analog device that would still allow you to receive calls sent to your home number. That's some craziness for how far tech has come.

LOL. A flash back to five years ago? How about a flashback to when your cell phone no longer had to be hard wired to your car's electrical system!!!

Lol yah tech is just advancing so fast.

iOS 6 vs Android

Hey guys.. .
I was just wondering in your opinion which is better...
iOS 6 or Android?
You should keep in mind though iOS 6 has added some major new features. Nevertheless, Google releases new features with every release of Android.
Here's a basic breakdown of Android and iOS 6 in terms of features:

iOS was ok while people were transitioning to smartphones.
But, now that everyone's grandparents can rock a smartphone its useless unless you have a hard on for Apple stuff. Even jail broken you can't do as much with a brand new iPhone as you can with even an antiquated Android phone.

Just stating opinions as facts is not "giving credit were credit is due". It's called being an a**hole. Either be able to defend your statements or they are just opinion. And there's a saying about opinions and a**holes.

There is no generator for the "we need a new idea" meme.
Gentlemen, we need a new idea for the new iPhone
inovate
5 rows

I'm disappointed by the lack of innovation with the new iPhone and iOS 6. I've always kept an eye on the iPhone, and has pretty much always been in my shortlist of phones simply because it is easy to use and so integrated. Sure it may have lacked features that were available on android and lacked customisation, but customisation isn't regular Joe Bloggs cup of tea.
As far as I can tell, it isn't enough of an upgrade to be considered a 5, more like a 4GS. huge disappointment, guess Samsung, HTC and windows 8 phones can breathe a sigh or relief that this incantation of the iPhone is utter wÄnK in comparison to the competition.

Has there been any benchmarks for the new A6 chip?

Nexus one wasn't really for cusumer use, more of a dev phone. Just fanboys build up non-sense hype.

Top much competition in the OS market.but google is safe from its rivals because of its service. But because now more companies want to have the similar services. These upcoming OS are a good platform to furnish with those services.

They better not release some motorola X phone 5 months after the Nexus 4. Boy will I be pissed about that if they do!
Really looking forward to KLP (pretty much confirmed to be the name and v5.0) when it comes out in June. Also hopefully I can get a ticket to IO 2013 :fingers-crossed:

Sent from my Xperia P using xda premium

I heard Sony too, which did put me off the Nexus 4 a bit, Sony > LG in my experiences.

i doubt there will be a new device launched at IO they only just launched and sorted out their supply issues of N10 and N4. i reckon they will give out white versions of the N4 at IO like shown in the leaked photos, and MAYBE the nexus 7 refresh will appear; releasing a new phone now will kill sales of the N4 and it wont happen nexus 5 or w/e it will be will be seen around sept/nov like every previous phone.

How do we know it will be called key lime pie? It seems to me that we're now on beans, so I think they'll call it "kidney bean", and then after that, "lima bean."

Neither kidney or lima beans are desserts.
