Jon Rubenstein just told Engadget that it's not going to happen.
Sure, some techie type folks will put together a franken_doctor to flash their device yet, but for the vast majority of Pre owners, they are never going to get more than 1.45.
Sure, but that was just an example of the max you can get for that money. A small cheap laptop or netbook with an SSD drive is still going to be just about as tossable, way more functional, and much cheaper.
Yes it does way more and is thicker, but as far as portability goes, you can't exactly fit either in your pocket. Either one is going to be something you are going to be lugging around in your hands or in a backpack. One is just going to make the backpack weigh a bit more, with a whole lot more functionality coming along with it.
Let's see, for that price I can get a 17" laptop with a triple core CPU, 4GB RAM, 640GB hard drive, lightscribe DL DVDRW. Oh, and I can watch a movie without having to hold it, read an ebook without having to hold it, and use full fledged applications on it.
"Many people are not aware that before a vaccine was available approximately 10,600 persons were hospitalized and 100 to 150 died as a result of chickenpox in the U.S. every year."
"Can a healthy person who gets varicella die from the disease?
Yes. Many of the deaths and complications from chickenpox occur in previously healthy children and adults. From 1990 to 1994, before a vaccine was available, about 50 children and 50 adults died from chickenpox every year; most of these persons were healthy or did not have a medical illness (such as cancer) that placed them at higher risk of getting severe chickenpox. Since 1999, states have been encouraged to report chickenpox deaths to CDC. These reports have shown that some deaths from chickenpox continue to occur in healthy, unvaccinated children and adults. Most of the healthy adults who died from chickenpox contracted the disease from their unvaccinated children."
George W Bush was elected president of the United States, and he's a total idiot, so it's not shocking that Alaska could have a total idiot as a governor.
There are a lot of professionals who need extremely good color matching who would disagree with you Mr. Coward.
For a consumer, sure, LCD is the way to go. But there is a reason for some to prefer CRTs. Saying there is NO reason for most things is usually not a smart statement.
So you've never seen a monitor that can run at 1920x1080 natively. I had a laptop 8 years ago that could run it natively. I'm not sure what either anecdote says about what is midrange.
I wasn't making any judgment on if Israel should be given money or not. That's a whole other discussion.
The point is you can't compare what one country provides to it's citizens with what another is providing, when the first country is heavily subsidizing the economy of the 2nd country. Of course the 2nd will likely to provide it's citizens with more.

Sorry, thought I was informing someone uninformed. Not talking to a troll.
Two years ago HP didn't own them.
If you can't see fox is the worst offender after watching 10 minutes of it, then I question your objectiveness.
Certainly other networks put spins on things, but fox is in their own league in the level and obviousness of it.

So you can install apps on your ipads over the network, but not to notebook computers? That's... odd. We do it here all the time.

Where exactly did I call them idiots?
Also, the folks who have bought tens of millions of tablets generally paid less than 799 for them.

Why folks would buy a tablet they have to hold with way less functionality, for more money, I just don't get.
I want ZFS on my desktop. Mainly because I understand what ZFS is. You might want to read up on it.
You might want to rethink your stance on Chicken Pox vaccines.

Twitter, maybe. Facebook, no.
SMSing makes you a geek? Not!

I think if you blow yourself up, by definition you are not stable.
Also, there are lots of well educated people with decent jobs who live lives of quiet desperation. So I think those bombers really are desperate.
The thing we can agree on is that a good number of them are not low income. Some are, some aren't.
Anyone who has tried to dump 100,000 rows into it.
I'm someone who the FDA *REQUIRES* to have good color matching for the diagnostics being done.
Just because a CRT isn't wanted or needed for what you do, doesn't mean others don't want or need them for good reasons.
Agreed. The indentation is too subtle to follow easily. I hope they make that adjustable if they leave the default at such a low level.

Blackberry seems to be looking to copy that,
There, fixed that for ya.
Why? What does it offer?
An excellent user experience.
