But it didn't. It closed five weeks ago. And so in addition to the issues of hands-off management Google has promised for Motorola is the fact that there just plain hasn't been any time for them to make a change on this if they wanted to. Moto knows Google likes open, and frequent updates. But they're free to act as an independent company and go their own way as much as they want. That's how it has to be to keep other handset companies from getting all freaked out.
Google owns vast amounts of fiber, and peering points too. They saw this as an essential strategy early on to avoid getting locked out of the Internet and to save on costs, as their data transport needs are immense. They could probably stand up an Othernet the size of the Internet if they needed to.
And those phones will have far better performance and specs than the baseline for Windows XP - in a device that fits in your pocket and runs all day on battery.
I'm really curious if my fellow senior slashdotters haven't owned "myname.com" for their own value of myname. I thought that was expected. Maybe that's a good Ask Slashdot.
The MS VP in charge of OEM relationships either quit or was fired today, I've seen it reported. He'll take sabbatical the article said, and then resume some other MS executive duty. My own guess would be "inside man at Dell", because they already have an HP guy.
No, I've seen them pretty high, even in the Play store - some as much as $160. I've paid quite a bit: at this point I've spent far more through my Android tablet than for it.
Some of them do have 3G, and some don't. To each his own. If you have an Android phone and are well-invested in Android apps that you like, then an Android tablet makes some sense because you don't have to buy the apps again. If you have an iPhone, it would push the other way.
I was expecting the usual Microsoft team to get on here and start bashing their longtime partner. Thanks for not disappointing me. See you in the Dell thread!
This is what happens when you force closed captioning to comply with the ADA of a video supplier with so much volume human provided captioning is not possible. You get machine translated audio, and it's not the best.

They have a red one now.

It doesn't seem to be so critical that it's stopping a million people a day from buying Android devices. So maybe it's a little overblown.
That deal closed only five weeks ago.

Somebody offers a real hardware testing framework where you can test your app on a variety of equipment as a rental.
Who? I seem to have lost the thread.

The FAQ is better left as it is - a trap for those with ill will.
SA is required for some features now. They've been that successful with it.
Win x86 tablets? They might sell hundreds.

I was expecting that too. It would surprise if an HP contingent showed up though. They have more class than that usually.
This is only the beginning. It's a hint, an appetizer, a mere suggestion of the glorious future about to unfold. Just wait.
Not a good day to not have mod points. Kudos, sir!
It's widescreen, 720p plus a little. With 1080p hdmi output.
Sorry for the insult, my mistake. I can see you're not in that crew.

Let me explain about trust...
I guess the question to ask yourself is, if a company would do this then what would that checkbox do?

Actually yes, they do have robots that can fix robots. And repurpose existing robots with modular designs, snapping in new tools at need.
