Oh please. Failure to innovate? Excuse me, but everyone was pretty much wowing and agog at CES at the entirely innovative concept of creating a lapdock for your phone. And while the current result may not be perfect it's still got one helluva potential, much like Android itself when the first Android phone was released on T-Mobile. Innovation means putting it out there and taking a chance and learning how and what to improve. That is story of Android all the way around and the reason its first years saw such a glory of updates.
Moreover, enthusiasts like us who visit sites like this have a tendency repeat old assessments ad nauseum despite changes that have occurred to such things as Blur. It seems every review I'm reading these days about new Blur are generally favorable, unlike the past. Yet, if we constantly just go by past use or reviews of older models, we're limiting ourselves by automatically dismissing something without trying it ourselves.
I see nothing incremental, either about announcing the first phones to run Nvidia's dual core. Or bump RAM to 1 gig.
As for the Xoom, I blame Google for pushing the early release so as to compete with the iPad as soon as possible. Once again, there is nothing wrong with the Xoom that the right updates...LTE/SD card and more apps won't cure.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. I'm just annoyed at seeing the same old crap trotted out time and again when the UIs are ever changing as well as the interfaces with other tech...like HDMI out. Wasn't that a Moto first, too? Sorry, I reverted again to rant. I'm gonna simmer down now.
