James, how about just giving a choice to your customers? People who actually like to "beta test" new aesthetically unpleasant layout with random sliding/popping elements can continue using it and people who don't (regardless of the reason) should be allowed to switch to previous layout instead ;)

"A little"? LOL, this was the most annoying "lag" I've ever experienced on any mobile device and makes the tablet basically unusable in some mobile games and very annoying in many apps since it either doesn't "register" some of the touches at all or delays them so you get "double taps" or "long...

I agree - it's one big, unpleasant visual "blur" due to EVERYTHING having this same tint.

Yeap, definitely camera. Better (larger, with better light sensitivity) sensor from different supplier (preferably Sony), preferably with OIS, with better camera software with more user-accessible adjustments (like on Nokia models and on new HTC One) and better optics. If it will make phone...

Re: HTC One M8 Camera I know that. But I need something better and more consistent than M8's camera. There are some M8 samples available at Flickr at full resolution, you can use them to see how they look on your monitor, as well as for printing samples. Or just go to your local store which...

Re: Z2 on AT&T? Please? I wouldn't trust that garbage blog. They don't cite the sources for their "news". I'd rather wait for a direct word from Sony.

Re: Beats Audio on M8 Yeap. Beats products are like Bose products - they use cheapest possible components and materials (though some Bose products are pretty well-made) and just try to find an "averagely" pleasing (to majority of general population) sound through some basic software sound...

Re: HTC One M8 Camera Thank you for confirming this fact. I guess I'll be waiting for something better instead - perhaps the next One or even next Moto X (though I highly doubt Motorola cares about that). A rear camera is important to me - I don't need to use it to force-feed bathroom selfies...

Re: Just saw the new ad with Gary Oldman I was just browsing the YouTube and found what HTC should've really done for their Ad campaign: The clip is about Sony's model BUT it's very relevant example - it does not have too much "blah, blah, blah" or talk about various gimmicks (like built-in...

Re: ? Verizon HTC One M8 no stock browser ? The old "stock" browser was pretty similar to Dolphin browser in terms of the "feel" and function - I suggest trying out the Dolphin browser if you really miss it. You can still view Flash videos through it as well as use some useful add-ons for...

Well, to be fair the upcoming Sony Xperia Z2 has sensor which is as large (1/2.3") as on dedicated inexpensive P&S cameras, at least on paper. And while it does cram 20 megapixels into it (which is rather excessive), it can use pixel binning for images with lower res but with increased light...

Re: Metal vs plastic - difference in quality, or personal preference? It's all a matter of personal preference. Both metal and plastic can be made into different shapes and finished with different textures. As for weight - aluminum doesn't really weigh that much (stainless steel would be much...

Re: Just saw the new ad with Gary Oldman Eh... I appreciate the message they are trying to get across, as well as the humorous part but that's not how such product should be presented to general masses. You have to show and/or explain about some unique software/hardware feature, to make people...

Re: M8 Destruction! In other equally exciting news the Earth is not flat and if you'll try hitting your head with a hammer with sufficient force - you will bleed and will break your skull... To be serious I really don't understand the practical purpose for these videos (other than making more...

Google does not NEED any custom CPU/APU designs. They are a software company, selling software services. They also want to keep Android OS customizable enough, unlike Apple or Microsoft, that is why they are letting the smartphone manufacturers (or manufacturers of other portable devices)...
