yes. I got that from the article. I was just surprised, especially in light of the whole apple/samsung fiasco, to see a phone from HTC that has such a strong resemblance to an iphone lol.
I find it pretty amusing actaully. I wonder what apple thinks , lol

What do you guys think about google glass? Ive used a pair a few times, someone at the university has one. I think they are pretty sweet to be honest. But I keep reading this crazy reviews about how people are going to be using it for "always on" video recording, discreet photos, surveillance..
And then there are the people who think its going to cause car accidents, promote inattention, etc. Others are complaining about the cost (which isn't even released yet) or the lack of apps (again.. not released..)
I don't understand the constant "doom and gloom" outlook the general population and the media have on this. 90% of their information is plain wrong, and the other 10% is misinterpreted..
its so irritating, and definitely "wtf" worthy

There are definitely a lot of people I classify as the "haters gonna hate" category.
half the people using the material strictly for trolling content wake up everyday reading every article in anticipation of getting a pair. But they enjoy having something to troll about and its fuel for the keyboard gangsters.

I wouldn't own a Samsung mobile phone and why do people keep positing about Samsung products in this section.

When a n"no glasses required" 3D TV gets produced that is within a reasonable price range I will be on board with it. I mean why not? Much like our phones, we can always stay with 3D if that is what we are comfortable with. I just like having options.
I say bring it on. The more 3D phones on the market, the more 3D content we get. Things are pretty sparse right now other than the youtube app, which is 96% 3D cat videos, 3% foreign 3D trailers, 1% stuff I care to watch.
Of course when Rovio releases Angry Birds 3D, nothing else is gonna matter anyway.

Mozilla Seabird 2D

Whoa Mozilla labs has plans to build their own OS based on android. Its just a concept right now but its crazy to see how far technology could go. The original article was on gizmodo but I thought id share since were all bored and arguing around here anyways. I looked for this before I posted it and couldn't find anything similar in the 3D section.
Here's the video.

Edit: This is my first time hearing about this, i guess im late to the party lol. *facepalm*
That video has been around for a while but the news about them building an OS using Android is new. Sounds like a UI on top of Android to me though.

Ahhh yeah does sound like a custom UI sort of like sense but the article said they arent adopting java; could be interesting. I know im late i barely found that video lol.
If that thing was ever built, it'd be the most expensive smartphone that has ever existed, haha.
Can't imagine the battery life on that thing.
I saw that about a year ago and I don't think we are much closer to it being realistic. It looks amazing but I think we are years away from anything close to that.

Although they don't have the same sensor technology for typing and stuff, you have been able to order phones with built in PICO projectors from overseas forever. I own a Pico projector seperately and it is awesome. Not much bigger than the 3VO. Well, like 3 times thicker, but can fit in your pocket.
Again, they've been making them for years overseas, so why the have to pretend being able to project your phones screen on to the wall is some future concept is silly. I know it has a lot more features than that, so it is a concept phone. But I just think it's interesting that projector part has such a wow factor when they are made everyday.
This is from CES 2009. A Samsung phone for Korea:

Always though its stupid to generalise people on what OS they use. I use Android for my Tablets and use iOS for my Phones. I must be stupid and intelligent. I prefer iOS for phones, it's much better (IMO) compared to Android. Tablets I'm the other way around, prefer Android.
lolololololololololololololololololol.

Each to there own but just don't like Android on phones and don't like iOS on tablets. Many reasons why but that's for another time.
Apple and Android fanboys who constantly hate on each other are all idiots. Simply enjoy what you have and don't worry about the other side.

If you have a problem with wifi on your iPad rub the back with a bounce dryer sheet, that should solve the static IP problem, lol.
On a somewhat related note, I spent 30 minutes in best buy trying to do a price match for a TV I bought the previous week. I couldn't get the girl to understand what was going on so she got a manager after 5 minutes. After the manager comes over I can't get him to comprehend what's going on either. Their system price is the same as the instore prices but he keeps saying it is "online" showing "online prices" yet the price is cheaper through my laptop and phone. Finally he says "when in doubt use a Mac," right then I knew why he had no common sense. After he gets his Mac it still took forever because I had to show him how to navigate the web (he was having trouble clicking links to get to the product page and cart, and also he couldn't figure out how to get to the previous page so I showed him that fancy back button) the product said see cart for price and he keep hitting add to cart with the same result, a pop up box that had a highlighted "go to cart" link right under the "add to cart" button he keep hitting.

I agree completely. Android is not for everyone and neither is iOS. Personally I don't like Apple because you re really locked into what Steve liked rather than what you like as far as look and feel. I'm not going to put anyone down for their choice and don't expect anyone to put me down for what I like. It's all about choice, and those differences in everything make life interesting.

I dont think thats an apple getting screwed lol. Just sayin....wouldve been more effective.
perhaps the sheep is called Annie Elizabeth or Anna

Can't You Just smell the FEAR???

Is anyone else just totally sick of Apple's abuse of the court system? I recently had the displeasure of having to repair a MacBook Pro for my daughter and I have to say that they have what I can only see as built in design flaws. Like the keyboard. You have to replace the entire aluminum top shell when you replace the keyboard... really? Is that really necessary when the keyboard is designed with thin layers that creates a very strong capillary effect, making it just suck up any fluid that comes close? I replaced just the keyboard thank you. Tediuous and annoying but $65 beats $450 any day of the week. F Apple. I now steadfastly refuse to purchase anything they market. These are acts of fear and not much else I think... keep living by the sword Apple I can't wait to see the tides turn

You could just read 8 words over and see its an apple thread and leave... I know it's a crazy concept, and completely against what you want. But its a thought.
OP Note: Apple is seriously pathetic. Even fanboys are leaving apple because of this crap. Which is funny.

Hey Apple, I have an excellent idea:
How about INSTEAD of suing your competition, you make your phones BETTER?
Too bad that's never gonna happen. This Cheapo-Depot company is going to make phone after phone after phone, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. They're going to lose one day, whether they give up or someone bombs their facility, theyll give up, and all of us Android users will laugh at their failure and pain.
The Next Sentence Is TRUE.
The Previous Sentence Was A LIE.

So true, but then i would have missed out on the wealth of knowledge gained from these hate threads. Ok I have to ask, please show proof that apple fanboys are leaving. It matters not to me, but show us proof so we can all hold hands and celebrate.

[Q] How many of you DX2 users are jumping ship to the iPhone 5?

I am.
Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

This thread makes my insides hurt from sadness.
Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.
