> I can't help thinking that Portal 2 must be a dud
Yeah, because Valve isn't known to be the makers of some of the best games of all time. It's not like there's an assumption the game would be good because of their pedigree or anything. But no, the evil advertising must be a clue that something is definitely wrong!
(many telephone manufacturers) X (many handsets) X (many UI skins) X (android versions) X (many cellular providers) X (cellular providers many requirements and restrictions)
is a much, much bigger number.
And maybe you'll have to develop a version for standard app store and then a version for all the upcoming ones like the rumored Verizon app store.
This is reminiscent of the Wii strategy, where Nintendo produces uncompetitive hardware at great margins and relies instead in mass appeal, brand power and gizmo features to unexpectedly great results. No real news here.
You forgot the part where they make some of the greatest video games in the world. But don't let that fact get in the way of your argument.
Slashdot Mirror
When was the last time an abandoned platform suddenly resurged into success through a series of late-arriving updates?
Amber was quite surprised at the finding.
Didn't Apple invest heavily in R&D during the last recession? I'd say it went pretty well for them.
Some Android tablets already have both. Seems like some items are missing on that list.
But not breadth and depth of software, ecosystem and firmware support.
But it's almost the same thing, right? right?
They are also targeting Android developers. It's not a safe haven.
Look everybody! He's beating a dead horse! Look at those twitching legs go!

I absolutely HATE it when they use proprie. Gets all in the far corners of the sofa.
Yes.
I mean NO.
Wait.
I meant YES.
Oh I don't know anymore!
It's like they're really trying to encourage adoption!
It's not real. It's just a mockup.
The last time I tried squeezing more bandwith out of fiber, I was constipated for weeks!
Try the veal!
Is that so they can get Flash to run at acceptable speeds?
I figure

is a much, much bigger number.

> I now have a HTC Desire and the difference between these products can't be described by words alone.
How about sound effects? Interpretive dance? Matchstick diorama?
If I never bought anything on principle, I don't think I'd have anything.
So private mode is good enough for me!
Yep, I'm sure they're really regretting that whole "success" and "profit" thing right now.
I am waiting for the good android based tablets.
There, fixed that for you.

A missing detail is a "huge fail"? Uh oh, someone's lost their sense of scale meter!
Apple makes pretty silent computers. They would've figured how to make it quiet.
> Looks good, but sacrificing a frontal USB port just for aesthetics? .... meh.
You forgot who you were talking about.
Steve Jobs might lose the smartphone wars, might not. But he's gonna make a poop ton of money in the process.
