    Onkyo Android TV

    Listening to the podcast this week they mentioned HDMI passthrough and how great that is on the Xbox. I think the Cube had it, too, but never looked much into that. What I would really like to see is an Android tv OS running an Onkyo (or other) receiver that has multiple (6+) HDMI inputs to...

    What can I do with an old tablet where the digitizer appears to have failed completely?

    My kids brought me their 7" acer tablet they got for Christmas a year ago saying it wasn't working. Sure enough, no touch response, otherwise seems to be good. I haven't been able to scrounge up a USB OTG cable yet to try a 'mouse', if that would work or not, but am wondering if any of you have...

    I've had every note to date but disappointed. Please tell me I'm wrong.

    I have had the first note after dumping my work provided iPhone 4, then had to decide between the note 3 and the G2, but I just couldn't give up the S-pen, which makes remote desktop work immensely more usable. Even bought a second battery (6 months ago, 3 for the i717) but it is still in the...

    No updated from IFA on Note 8 or a new Note 8

    I was pretty disappointed as well. Checked out the Tab S 8.4 the other day, absolutely gorgeous screen, slim bezel, very stylish. Thing is, I like my current Note 8's large bezel, don't inadvertently touch the edge of the screen (but I am sure I could get over that with a Note S 8.4)

    Note 4 Capacitive/Wacom home button?

    Watching the live video this morning, I think I saw a tiny feature that really excited me: Using the S-Pen on the home button, without physically pushing the button down. Did anyone else notice this? When the Note 8.0 and Note 3 came out with S-Pen sensitive back and menu buttons, as a first...

    Note 4 USB 2.0 lol....

    Re: USB 2.0 lol.... after too many broken USB2.0 micro cables, I prefer the 3.0, and have never had an issue plugging it in (find it even easier than 2.0 in the dark because I can feel for the indent). space requirements or not, it is kind of disappointing, especially since that excuse doesn't...

    How many will be upgrading from the Note 3 to the Note 4?

    Re: How many will be upgrading from the note 3 to the note 4? I skipped the Note 2 and went from the Note 1 to the Note 3, huge difference (but preferred the form factor of the original, new ones are too tall, IMHO). Similarly, the Note 4 has a lot of nice incremental changes, but not enough to...
