    Chromebook Application Wrapper mentioned in AC Podcast

    I heard this too and was very interested but have yet to hear more. Jerry, can you please better explain what you were talking about in the podcast? How can we run full up windows/mac programs? I understand linux ones, but I think the one you mentioned was not available for linux.

    chromebook to replace a dying tablet?

    "Debunked" is a little to strong of a word. A high level executive denied it, but companies deny rumors that are true all the time. Also, there are semantics arguments between what he actually denied and what Andromeda is rumored to be. AndroidPolice.com is the source of the rumors and their...

    chromebook to replace a dying tablet?

    I'll give you my input and beliefs here: Can a chromebook replace a tablet right now? Yes, with caveats. I have a flip ($250). It is great, but performance is sluggish and as a tablet the user experience isn't a smooth as an android tablet. I'm planning to get the new samsung chromebook Pro. It...

    Is it bootloader unlocked and fully AOSP like the nexus devices?

    I've got a Nexus 6P here, lets get some questions going!

    Band 12 is not officially supported yet, but they are hoping to get support before it ships. I would bet it will happen sometime in November.

    I've got a Nexus 6P here, lets get some questions going!

    In the google app it asks you at startup if you want 4:3 or 16:9. 4:3 is the native resolution of the 6P sensor (just like past nexuses). That means if you want to capture in 16:9 you are cropping the original image from the sensor.

    I've got a Nexus 6P here, lets get some questions going!

    I was hoping sensor hub would mean ambient display finally matched the performance of moto display. However, I've read some say it is still really iffy on the 5X. How is it on the 6P?

    I got my Nexus 5X (First Impressions, User Reviews)

    Re: Mine has just been delivered LOL! You are kidding right? They are the same exact camera. He even says as much in the video. The only differences are the added features the 6P has due to processing power. The much more likely reason for the differences he was experiencing are simply...

    I got my Nexus 5X (First Impressions, User Reviews)

    Re: Mine has just been delivered The reason twitter doesn't have smooth scrolling isn't the phone. The Twitter app is horrendous. When I switched to falcon pro instead on my Nexus 6 it was smooth as silk.

    List of nexus 7 2013 problems

    I've been having issues with random reboots. It happened a lot when I first turned it on. I was hoping that the updates would fix it, but it has happened twice since. I'm going to try a factory reset. If it happens after that I'll exchange it.
