I'm surprised it hasn't been more prevalent on phones. I can see IR sticking around for at least 5 more years in home electronics

Just waiting for the dam to burst and all the ICS ROM's hit the streets

From what I've read, CM9 should be REALLY good, but who knows. It's supposed to feel like it shipped on the phone instead of a hacked OS made to work.

Other than phantomhacker releasing an update to blazermod, it's been pretty quiet on the mod scene. Quiet before the storm maybe?

Most remotes that we have in our homes use infared to communicate with the equipment that they control. There used to be a couple phones with IR, but I don't know of any that currently have it. The Galaxy Tab 7 plus has IR as well as the Sony Tablet S allowing you to use them as a universal remote. I use an app on my phone and tablet to control my Google TV Box that works through WiFI, and it is really convenient. Would this be a feature that people would want? Or would it just be wasted space on phones that are continually trying to get thinner and make more efficient use of space.

Akbarashish doesn't make people comfortable?

Is your friend on a old unlimited plan? Expect for the throttling to come sooner. Something like at&t is pulling to get him to switch plan.

Yeah, he's grandfathered in for unlimited. I told him I wouldn't mess around with anything violating his terms and conditions so they could cancel him off. I'm sure at&t and Verizon would love to get the data hogs off their unlimited plans. For now, I guess they will resort to throttling.

I'm waiting for the fluorescent chartreuse model, myself.

That will be a big seller for them.

Maybe I am just paranoid, but it has sure seemed like I was talking to someone who sounded like they were born and raised in the US, their name was something like John, and there was a word or two that would come up in the conversation that they just couldn't say without an Indian accent.

The person that I talked to is not violating roaming agreements with Verizon and he is using their mostly vacant St. Cloud MN LTE spectrum but he is still getting throttled after 5 GB. He might still be using wireless hotspot though.

The new site is nice. It is lot more responsive now... I do have to start learning my way around again. I loved the "Dashboard" on the old site but "View New Content" is even better. Good choice on the move.

I'm also a big fan of the option to view new content

Yes, I agree. Like most, I prefer dealing with someone here in this country for customer service. It's odd though, in almost 13 years with Sprint I have never gotten a customer service rep that I would suspect was not based in North America for my account. There was one time about 4 or 5 years ago when I was setting up a new account for a cousin that I get a telesales rep in the Philippines. Luck of the draw perhaps...

You might be lucky, or their fake accents were that good.

Scott Ford says that they tried to link up with Sprint three times and they were rebuffed on every occassion. That, not the actual Nextel acquisition was Forsee's greatest failure as CEO. Imagine a company that would have had Sprint's urban and suburban network, Alltel's exurban and rural network as well as the nationwide or near nationwide SMR spectrum from Nextel. I think that the competetive landscape would look totally different today and we would have three strong, viable national players.

That would have been huge. Forsee made a huge mistake.

I'm feeling left out, maybe I should start using more data. I don't want to give up my poweruser label.

The outsourcing of customer service kills me. I like to talk to someone sort of American when dealing with my money.

At least someone who can pronounce my name. It's "Scott" not "Scoot". Those Pakastani's have really good American accents until it comes to pronouncing their "O"s

Wheres the back, its suppose to have a white back?

 

Samsung has only leaked this color for the Journal. I would assume there would also be a white and black

The Kindle Fire has lit up the tablet market or at least the lower end of the tablet market. Amazon's strategy to introduce an inexpensive tablet to drive their own media sales and put them on the map has been a success so far. Will this be followed by the process of offering it through cell phone carriers? They certainly gained some serious market share quickly, with some analysts predicting that Amazon may have sold 6m Fires and it only makes sense that Amazon would want to increase the amount of connectivity to increase their profits on digital media considering that each Kindle Fire generates $136 in new income at Amazon

Amazon may have held off on 3G/4G capability at launch to keep their costs down (3G in the iPad 2 adds $130 to the retail cost) and not have to deal with multiple models. There are rumors that we could see multiple sizes and multiple ways to connect to the internet. http://www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-atlanta/kindle-fire-owners-want-3g-4g-model-survey-says

One thing is for sure, contrary to the complaints on the Amazon messageboard, Amazon will not be offering free 3G connectivity like it offers with some of its Kindle E-readers

 

lol.. white phones just remind me of apple products.. iphone.. etc. idk.

I think i'm dense, I didn't even consider apple. Honestly I was thinking a bar of soap... Ha ha

I like streaming pandora through my truck's bluetooth, but I get really slow speeds on my commute, so I don't think I use as much data. Plus I only drive one out of 4 weeks (thanks carpool). They also installed a wifi hub right outside my office door, so rather than roaming on Verizon at work, I have 10 Mbps wifi. I just have to go in to the browser and agree to the T&C for the wifi that it auto routes you to a couple times a day, whenever the data apps stop working.

Well, you know what they say about great minds...

You have until Sunday to submit apps

I love the new website. For one, the background is less obvious that it is a non-work related website, so when my boss walks by, he doesn't know that I am farting off.
