Notion Ink Adam is coming out next month and shits on ALL of those tablets.

Smacky - there was numerous codenames for the Droid before it launched including Sholes and Motorola Tao. I'm almost certain Lexikon will get rebranded before launch.

Soooooo...I'm going to get a G2. I was going to wait for a while and get whatever comes around in 6 months and buy a new laptop right now but I'm gonna wait for the new sandy bridge laptops and either get one of those or a cheaper i7. So yeah G2 it is

 

[dilla]

Yeah, some of their codenames are pretty lame.

Does that mean I can watch the inbetweeners on my phone? :amazed:

 

[dilla]

Nah, it's only available in the UK.

 

[Prize Gotti]

Yeah unfortunately only work in the UK, if you are computer savvy enough you could set up a VPN to bypass it, Android has VPN settings so it should work.

Inbetweeners is the BEST FUCKING SHOW.

I have every episode on my laptop and I've been making sure I watch the new season as it airs, 10PM every Monday here in the UK, which I pretty much NEVER do for any show.

It's just so fucking funny. They nailed it with the characters and they way they act, I knew so many people like that at high school.

I like it. But I think it's over rated.


I am Jay by the way....

Also, it's shot near where I live in London. And last week in the shopping centre. It was actually in Uxbridge.

It's only for live tv.

Been around for years on PC and Iphone. Not sure how long it's been on android. I didn't use it on my iphone so when I switched didn't check it out.

Are there any new decent upcoming Androids in a mid-end price range? I'm slowly beginning to look for a replacement to my Spica, especially after playing with the Wave. Surprisingly though Spica seems to be better than modern mid-ends. And I want an upgrade and not something similar or worse, lol.

I found this Samsung:

But it looks like Spica with a qwerty keyboard.

Oh and this which at first looked quite good enough:

But a 600mhz qualcomm would be much slower than what I have.

Well, this LG leaked out from a Polish Android website.

Don't know if that's up your street, it doesn't seem at first glance to be an amazing processor (altho it's a fairly recent architecture so it may be a similar situation to the new 800mHz chip in the G2 being superior to the 1GhZ Snapdragons).

Comes with FroYo though, so it's obviously capable of handling the latest stuff.

LIME, Digicell, and Chippie are the carriers on one of the potential islands in the Americas that I'm looking at. Obviously, they're GSM. Not sure if I can just bring a cellphone from here in the States and just buy a SIM down there, and assuming that it's the compatible bands, be alright for using all the features of the phone.

Anyone know?

 

[dilla]

Yes, I used this, too. Doesn't cover the Caribbean.

Anyone use a news reader on their phone? I'm trying to find a good one when GReader is starting to be a bitch on me.

I thought there was a kindle app...I can't find it?
