Sure the concept is interesting: powerful graphics processing alongside a phone and with a touchpad. But to play games regularly and text/call people, the battery will need to be godly, otherwise you'll be faced with multiple charges throughout the day. This is one of the reasons why I hate playing games on my smartphones, because the battery life disappears faster than a hot chick in a LAN party.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Android platform (in fact my phone is running it now), but the battery life is a major concern for me and should be for anyone else who is even considering purchasing this product, fake or not.
While some of this may be true, I still believe that when businesses proclaim something as being "dead," they are trying to employ a psychological weapon on the consumer. That's not to say sales of Blu-rays is declining, or that the stats on digital copies are false, but rather this may be more so a method of making the consumer doubt the value of items sold by their competitors.
'Well, if Apple/Microsoft say it's dead, then it must be true! I'll put this BD back since they say that.'
I sure hope this bug is fixed soon. I own a fat 80GB model which meets the description but I haven't played it in the past 3 days or so. Other people I've read say that some 80GB models are unaffected and seem to work fine for now, but it still worries me. If it is indeed a calendar issue and we cannot connect to PSN or even the internet, how are we to receive an update?
I had that problem when I started switching things over but now that I'm used to it I can recognize certain terms. In a sense, it not only helps you learn the language that we speak in everyday terms, but also the internet and computer lingo of a particular culture.
That's certainly true, but two of the language I am learning are supported so it helps me and I'm sure if anyone else is learning those languages then they'll find it useful to some extent.
I've also found it useful to change every interface that I use into the language that I'm learning. For instance, I've changed my PS3, iPod, and various websites into my desired language. For Asian languages it helps a lot with reading, and I've already increased my reading speed as a result. I would say it's a good supplement to a standard language course.
I've been using Firefox since 1.5 so it's been an integral part of my browsing experience. Let's just hope it isn't assimilated into the Chrome project.
I'm not sure what you mean by a performance loss on OS X. So far both are performing at or even above what they were on my Windows machine.
Maybe it's because I don't bog my browsers down with add-ons that aren't unnecessary.

...rests with the battery life.

The only guy I've ever known to fall off of a segway is the man who owned it. Shit sucks bro.

Florida is an elephant graveyard. IBM will have to code it with punch cards so the population can understand what's going on.
