BB is bested by both iOS and Android even in phone/email/messaging if you ask me.

Its not funny; it just reflects the fact that, much like RIM, some users live in the past ;)

2003 called, it wants its meme back -- you just have to look at Ultrabooks to see a bunch of inferior hardware on the Windows side trying desperately to come in as cheap as the MacBook Airs (I say this as someone who uses Win7 on a homebuilt rig).

But this approach is actually better in that Twitter gets a foot in the door and they only censor censored tweets for people inside of that country. Those of us in the free-ish world get to see the censored tweets. To me that sticks it to the censoring country pretty good.

So I should congratulate RIM for making QNX/Playbook OS v2.0 (they do like to play fast and loose with version numbering schemes) to the twelve people who bought playbooks? RIM has had its head up its arse for too many years and this is just another example. Look what happened to people who...

Not much different from this: http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2011/05/20/20110520phoenix-police-arrest-counterfeit-suspects-abrk.html

You can get capacitive styluses for existing tablets.

It's a knockoff sync cable with the Apple logo and trademark indicators on the packaging. Not kosher. I suspect they want any customer list to warn people, but this whole article is worded so strangely it's hard to figure.

Given the emails that have surfaced lately in the Oracle case, there are worse ideas, certainly. It would be a rough transition, but it would make things interesting :).

Pretty sad :( Wonder what the chances are of a disgruntled Android ODM working with it.

Also --- HP bought Autonomy, may spin off their Personal Systems Group (PCs) and is killing off WebOS phones and Tablets.

Which is to say, we can't solv3e all the worlds problems on a message board, let's go have a beer :)

The lawyers on both sides and the judge and the American Civil Code disagree with you :)

Go read the full document and Nilay Patel's breakdown of it -- oversimplification after reading 5 lines of the complaint gives the wrong impression.

That qualification leaves you with few places to go :) Most companies behave like greedy children:) As far as the courts, there are very specific rules that they have to follow with this kind of stuff and they end up being moved to or filed with districts that are knowledgable in this type of...

The courts would throw out a suit that had no grounds (better product), which they have not done. Using Honeycomb would disabuse most people of that notion anyhow ;)

There's a difference between people being dumb and a violation of trademark and trade dress. The nook is obviously not an iPad to people familiar with tablets, the Tab is confusingly similar. Also confusing the issue is that people call a category of product by the brand name of the dominant...

No one would be stupid enough to make an EXACT duplicate. You say they all look the same based on Apple's description, but the nook and the XOOM don't actually match Apple's description. They are all similar, sure, but the extent to which they are similar in combination with similar packagin...

Ad hominem attack is one of the last refuges of the person who has lost the argument. The point is not that you can still tell them apart, it's the extent to which they are similar (which, I'll give you a hint, is a lot).

Yes, I just said that to cause someone to spaz out :) Here's the unboxing for the nook color (great little device for those wanting a cheap Android Tablet, you can run pure-ish Froyo or Honeycomb off of a microSD card or off the main ROM if you use Clockwork to hack it...

Have you looked at the unboxing vids or opened one yourself? Tab 10.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE_J0KCDK10 iPad2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFWgyJv_JrA

For the boxing, I should say not enough like to cause any issues.

The nook has that wacky corner thing, making it very unique, it also does not have a metal outer bevel, doesn't have a pane of glass covering the entire front and has a plastic bevel that comes up above the plane of the screen. I had one until recently (yay, xda-devs :)) and the device, the OS...

You are tossing out the entire point of the complaint and focusing on the section that's required to be a bare bones description. The new Tab looks a lot like the iPad. If they were turned off and you just saw the face of it or if they were turned on and you just saw the App Drawer open on the...

I'm talking both :) The old school HP tablet above doesn't look like an iPad, the Galaxy Tab 10.1v2 definitely does. Samsung chose to use similar materials in a redesign based on the iPad2 in combination with a new box and UI layer that ape aspects of Apple's. Doing all of these things...

By the by the old school HP tablet doesn't really enter into this for a number of reasons, not least of which the keyboard, resistive touch screen/stylus combo, keyboard, plastic surround with additional plastic ring surround/bevel which are not a full screen-area glass pane with a metal ring...

They don't get to control boxes and box art, the stipulation is that Samsung is copying them to a certain extent one the box and box art (what's called Trade Dress) as well as the product design (there are Android tablets that don't look like the iPad and are not under legal threat) and the UI...

It goes beyond that if you read translations of the complaint and take a look at the other articles I linked. Samsung's box and box art, custom UI, etc all seem to be modeled on Apple's stuff. Like them or not, it gets a little creepy. This most recent complaint talks about the Galaxy Tab...

Read the actual article --- although the best analysis of Apple v. Samsung stuff was actually by lawyerly type Nilay Patel formerly of Engadget currently of This is My Next/The Verge -- http://thisismynext.com/2011/04/19/apple-sues-samsung-analysis/ .

Worth reading on this topic ven considering the source: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/15/apple_accused_of_faking_evidence_in_eu_ipad_case_against_samsung.html

It's more controller maker that matters, so Sandforce, Indilinx, Intel.

Quality, stability, great customer service.

Beklieve me I saw Andy Rubin waving that Honeycomb equipped Mototablet at D: Dive Into Mobile :)

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/14/nook-color-getting-android-2-2-and-market-in-january-current-ha/ - The Nook Color is getting Froyo (Android 2.2) and full Android Market access -- $250 Android tablet anyone?

Right, he already reminded me of that above - I forgot you could just go in through small business.

Yeah, WebOS 2.0 is nearly upon us. I actually find the iPad to be far more useful than I would've expected for note taking and content creation. I know the common wisdom is that tablets are for consumption, but I find that I do a lot more creation than I ever would've thought. I find the...

The HP Slate is only purchaseable through corporate last I knew and having used one, it's not something I would want to use regularly. MS needs to go a different route for OS on it's tablets. HP needs to get off their asses and issue some WebOS tablets also.

I love how the anti-Apple trolls come out of the woodwork. Technology progresses -- companies add new features to new products and sometimes withold things that aren't ready or don't fit their roadmap. You don't have to like Apple or any of their products, but pretending they behave...

Zynga are dirty and unscrupulous and I won't play any of their crapware.

The truth is none of the "4G" networks are actually 4G at this point according to the ITU standards for this. There are enhanced versions of LTE and WIMAX that ARE 4G, but the versions Sprint and VZW are hawking are NOT the 4G revs. Never mind T-Mobile trying to call HSPA+ 4G...
