    The average price for a DS game is around 40 euros.
    This makes it impossible for the 8-18 demography to buy more than maybe 2 or 3 games a year.
    And you actually wonder R4 cards are a hit?
    There is a reason games sell so well on the iphone, and to a lesser extent android: they are usually at most 3 or 4 euros...

    A danger to the network? Seriously? You have been able to install any app you want on any phone ever sold on any network since GSM exists, but jailbreaking your iphone puts AT&T's network in jeopardy??

  18. Re:What is the atmosphere inside China? on Chinese Reactions To Google Leaving China · · Score: 1

    You are almost funny... The US NEED china a lot more than china needs the US. Your industrial production capacity is close to zero, and even if it was not, anything manufactured in the US is going to cost a kidney. You have to realize something: the chinese produce crap because that's what us "civilized countries" ask them for. You ask for your shinny new GPS or cellphone for cheap, your children's toys or your paint for next to nothing, like every single other american or european consumer. Well, the only way for them to manufacture for cheap is to save on wages and on quality. The day you'll accept paying more for everything coming out of china is the day you will see higher quality stuff with a "made in china" stamp.

    Thank you very much, but no. My phone has been rooted, but that has NOTHING to do with customs roms. Contrary to what motorola has done with the droid, where the bootloader allows any rom to be flashed, or contrary to what HTC has done with the nexus one, motorola designed the milestone's bootloader so that it would only allow roms digitally signed with their own key to be flashed. One of motorola employee even said that people looking to use custom roms should buy an HTC dream or an google nexus one... http://community.developer.motorola.com/t5/MOTODEV-Blog/Custom-ROMs-and-Motorola-s-Android-Handsets/ba-p/4224
