    Google Nexus 7 cover - terrible waste!

    The Google Nexus 7 cover is a waste of money in my opinion. It is poorly constructed, does not have the magnetic sleep/wake capability (which is completely unacceptable since Google built the capability into the device) and the worst thing about the case is that it sends sends multiple taps to...

    Evidence of last minute changes

    When I was setting up my unit it already had my email address, which is also tied to my Google Play account which I used to make the device purchase. Interesting ...

    Did anyone get an 8GB model?

    I got the 8GB model. If I really like the device then I will sell it and get myself the 16 GB. My primary tablet is still an iPad and I need to determine how and if I will actually end up using the Nexus.

    Getting back on the Droid bandwagon

    thank you very much for the response. By data transfer speed I meant over 3G / LTE. I have read some reviewed about the Bionic screen and frankly speaking, that is one of the reasons I am not too kicked about the phone. I do plan to head to a store and look at both phone though.

    Getting back on the Droid bandwagon

    I am a phone geek and always carry a couple of phones with me. I was an avid Android user until I bought the Droid X and then everything just started to go south, so I switch back to a flip phone and waited for something else. My other phone is an iPhone in ATT, which I absolutely love, esp...

    PC Mag's Screen Comparison Article

    I own an iPhone 4 and HTC Incredible. I agree that the iPhone 4 screen is better than the Incredible's, and having seen the Evo, agree that the Apple product trumps that too when it comes to screen quality. The iPhone is a joy to use when it comes to look and feel. I have pre-ordered the X to...

    Droid X pre-order from Best Buy

    I pre-ordered today too, though I simply don't get the whole fill-out-a-form-and-but-a-$50-gift-card-thingy. I didn't even get a formal acknowledgment of the pre-order. I will have to buy the phone outright since I am not eligible for an upgrade.

    When will a decent Android-based tablet be available in the US?

    The Archos doesn't interest me because it is still running an older version of Android and there is nothing on it's roadmap in terms of upgrade to 2.1 or higher. I might have to end up buying an iPad. Apologies for sounding frustrated, but as a firm believer in this platform I am very...

    Pre-Ordering the Droid

    Pre-orders with BB will re-open tomorrow. I visited a location in Beaverton OR and confirmed that this is true. What we don't know is whether those that are not adding a line or upgrading will can pay full price.
