Keep it in "like new" condition and it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for at least 80% of what you bought it for. It'd be reasonable, too.
I just blew my own mind. I forgot to install Flash on my TP until today. Then I went to my favorite sports streaming site and watched the games on my tablet with no lag and no overheating. Which means I can now bring my tablet to the study hall with me, have it muted and open on the side to watch the game and use my laptop solely for powerpoints and notes.
Oh, who am I kidding. Either way, I just gave myself a pseudo-semi-dual monitor set up using my TP and MBP. Yay me!
Does anyone else feel that the 'Photos from your phone' feature in Google+ does not detect all the photos from your phone?
For me, it seems to only detect most photos and is kind of annoying because i prefer selecting via the PC, and not all of them are there. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I've also switched my connection to Wi-fi, waited and refreshed and refreshed again after some more time.

I think that Arc's design was far superior to those leaked SE's phones. They carry some cool concepts but in the end look kind of weird as a whole.
It's like they want to make them feel fresh (like those white elements on that phone or that light-thing on Nozomi) but end up feeling kind of outdated.

Acer held a press conference this afternoon in Las Vegas, among the first of CES 2012 (in fact, the official start to the conference isn’t until Tuesday morning) and, among its ultrabook offerings was the yet-unnamed Android tablet. We can, however, corroborate the A700 name, though we won’t know until it officially launches sometime in Q2 2012.
Though the company plans to keep its Android skin pretty simple, it will come with Acer Ring, a widget that is accessible from the lock screen to launch a custom list of apps (think Sense 3.0, only prettier).
We will have a hands-on with the sleek 9.8mm tablet, which looks far better in photos than the first-generation Acer fare. In the meantime, check out some photos from our friends at The Verge.

Didn't Apple win the award last year without even being there, or something? I remember reading about that recently in regards to this year's CES. That's hilarious.
Kinda anxious to see if Apple announces the iPad 3, independently of course, and what its specs will be. ASUS shot itself in the foot with the TP. Let's see if Google shoots itself in the foot by releasing their own tablet to fuck with their competition's sales.

Google wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot by releasing their own tablet. Others would be using Android nevertheless because they have no reasonable alternatives. Also, the more "official" a Google device is the less it sells usually. Nexus devices basically don't sell outside of America. I'm pretty sure that would also be the case with their tablets. They would perhaps take 1/100 of Samsung's sales.
Last I read was that even Google Nexus that is available in a few other countries (other than US and UK) sold less than 10 thousand units there in total. Compared to about 30 million of Galaxy S2s.

Because the S2 is better.
Same happened with the nexus s. A few months later they released the s2... Which was far superior. So.... I am waiting for the s3 to kick the galaxy nexus' ass.
I'm not really sure if it's better. Both have their positives. S2 is more complete as a mobile device I think, but Galaxy Nexus comes with stock ICS and a bigger screen.
I'm looking forward to Galaxy S2 but..hoping that it won't be bigger, faster etc etc.
I hope thel'll go the "innovative way" - thinner, "smaller", cooler etc. Or that there'll be some other device like that.
A company coming up with a device with a really small bezel around the screen (with screen taking almost the whole front panel, ICS allows that because of no physical buttons) that would be thin and with acceptable hardware (for example a 4 inch screen, 1ghz processor, a good camera) - they would have my money.

is there any smartphone today that comes close to the iphone battery life time?
since i broke my samsung and went back to the iphone i notice how i can go 2 or some times 3 days before i need to charge it. with wlan activated most of the time, and using it regularly.
the samsung, after a full day the battery would be on 20-40% so i charged it every night to be sure i wouldn't run out.

BadaOS phones last longer than Iphones. High end droids tend to drain battery faster mainly because of their hardware (huge screens mostly). Complex OS' process management adds to that.
Mid-ends that have more similar hardware to the Iphone 4 should also last close to that (most of all thanks to smaller displays).
That also bothered me at the beginning.
Anyway peep gsmarena's battery tests:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/category/battery-tests/
It's a fresh section so their database only contains some of the newest phones but if there'll be anything good if it comes to battery life they should have it listed there.
Past Nexus devices were expensive and.. not too popular for some reason. No one really expected them to sell here I think. So they shipped small numbers of those devices and that's also why their price was even higher.
There are similar devices that are cheaper and come with heavier marketing, so they sell instead.
Perhaps if Google pumped a lot of marketing money things would change but that's what they never do.
The Galaxy Nexus is expensive here. The Galaxy S2 costs about 1500zl and Galaxy Nexus costs about 2200zl. It's much more expensive than it's really worth.
Yeah, that's my thinking. Google doesn't market its Google Experience phones like the manufacturers and phone companies market theirs. The G1 was the only Google device that was heavily marketed by T-Mobile in the US. That makes sense since it was the first Android device.

This is trending worldwide right now. Thoughts?

I got halfway through, and realised it was the same bullshit all iphone junkies say, but dressed up nicely to sound like he was being fair. Like when a girl gives an insult to another girl disguised as a complement.

Back in the day, we used to recieve donations sent as cash in fake birthday cards! Those were the days! I still have some of them, actually.
