I felt the same way the first couple of days with my Hero. I ran the calibration tool and it cleared up everything just fine. It's so accurate I rarely, if ever, switch to landscape mode for typing.
If you do buy into that test posted yesterday, it did place the Droid Eris, aka HTC Hero as the 2nd best screen. So, either way, they clearly make a decent product.
I know your being sarcastic but the only reason I ever purchased a ps2 or ps3 was for the GT series. They will never bring that game to any other console.
Shitty touch screen? Sounds like you haven't actually used one yet. HTC screens are pretty much the best out there. Disclaimer, have spent an hour with a friend's Nexus and this post was composed on my Hero.

True, but it was a shiny turd on the PC and needed a patch to even run in some cases. I loved it once they got a patch to make it work, but it didn't work out of the box.
My point was the phone didn't support this as sold. Claiming the iPhone supports multitasking is akin to claiming an eeepc is a gaming laptop. I dont care if you managed to get warcraft running on it.
Actually the Hero is somewhat limited in memory. That being said, it gives the choice to the user if they want to do something that needs more memory, unlike the iPhone which will simply terminate the other application. My point is that its deceptive to call the iPhone a multitasking phone compared to what else is out there. I have a couple apps that run constantly on my phone, one of which is an alternative keyboard. The iPhone is not capable of anything like that.
I too considered an N900 but I decided to go with the Hero for cost and the much cheaper data plans from sprint. I lost a few mhz and dont have 700+mb of virtual memory, but I dont really need that in my phone.
If it indiscriminately terminates processes because the running app needs more memory, its not really practical to say it supports multitasking. You are just trying to redefine the accepted meaning of a multitasking smart phone to fit your fancy.
I might be biased though, I'm writing this from my HTC Hero with Android 1.6
The real difference between Apple and Dell (or HP or whoever) is Apple doesn't offer an equivalent to the low end, thick, heavy laptops that Dell or HP offer.
That may be true, but the market has demonstrated many times that people dont care. They want fast and cheap, so they skimp on size and quality. Personally, I wanted all of the above so I bought an asus eeepc:P
You wont hear an electric car coming at 25 miles if the road is smooth. A pulse and alerter is not only an additional monetary burden on manufacturers but would cost blind people and tax payers as well. Also, I'm really looking forward to how your explanation of how a detector is going to relay proximity, speed and direction of travel anywhere close to the ability of the human ear.
I would love to see that happen, perhaps even integrating the atom into the motherboard? I got fed up with high electric bills, so i replaced my desktop with a $300 eeepc 1005ha. Hooked up a kvm and only boot my desktop when I'm gaming. The eee can handle pretty much everything else I do and it draws less than 32 watts when in full power mode.

If they didn't trademark it, there would be hundreds of Chinese made rip-offs in months. You clearly don't understand how trademarks work.
1Ghz processor for one, 512Mb RAM for two.
I lol'd.
Evidently even bigots get moderator points occasionally.

Why would they be using a cracked version when they can use the RC legally for free until Oct 2010?

Perfect bacon? Ha! You just got confused and mislabeled a cured ham hock.
American's invented the martini, the Altair and the light bulb. Enjoy your minivan :P
A better analogy is when you buy uprated after market brakes and complain your manufacturer's wheels no longer have enough back space.
If you want to run the thing on something they don't support, that is your problem, not theirs.
The martini was actually developed in America during the 19th century.
Editing someone else's work hardly qualifies for copyright. Its doesn't meet the creativity requirements.
Yes, but can we get this in a real world equivalent. Something like 1200 words out of a library of congress?
The point your missing is that apple didn't offer $400 off, making the dell over $500 less.

I used my wireless logitech gamepad to control my media player from the other side of the room over three years ago... I'm with you.
It seems that the article is also talking about a cable, albeit an optical cable of fiber.
If I want to a make an app-wide change I go to Edit > Preferences. Shouldnt that be under Tools or Help?
It is, on windows.
