I was pretty pissed that Sprint changed their 1 year upgrade policy. Now your plan has to be 89.99 or 169.99 single/multi respectively or you have to have had service for 10+ years. I guess I'll reap the rewards in another 3 years, but I was definitely planning on selling my phone every year and grabbing something new.

trying to make it a day without rooting.

found out you can remove most of the bloatware on the atrix without root.

manual update.zip for those that don't want to wait for the Froyo update for the epic. Go to software, choose the mac version, save file as update.zip and move it to root of sd card, boot into recovery using volume volume down+camera+power, choose apply update.zip

i played with both the atrix docks at the att store when picking up my microcell today. the distro is kinda half baked and you really can't do anything worthwhile without a tethering plan. definitely not worth the money until the webtop partition is hacked and a better kernel is in there

I wouldn't count on any custom kernel work. There still aren't any for the Droid X/2 afaik.

the droid 2/x have encrypted bootloaders thanks to e-fuse, it appears that the atrix only has a locked bootloader. give the developers a few days/weeks before we make any judgement on custom kernels.


i'm impressed by the speaker on the atrix. puts out good sound for a phone.

you'd think these tech companies would freaking LEARN from their mistakes and the mistakes of competitors over time, but it's obvious they're too big and profit-driven to care sometimes...

microsoft and the whole copy paste on windows phone 7

The lack of flash at launch is Adobe's fault, they are waiting on the release of Flash 10.2 which is supposedly optimized for tablets.

I'm curious as to what you're comparing to - because the iPhone launched to much fanfare with no multitasking, no copy/paste, and will never have flash.

Plus if 10.2 is optimized for tablets it's probably going to be worth the wait. If you've used 10.1 on a tablet, anyway. It's a far cry from no flash, but it still needs polish for HD video and such.

I'm secretly hoping they're pushing these products out the door 'cause they know the new webOS or RIM offerings are going to bring lots of heat to the tablet/phone ecosystem.

Whoever figures out how to marry a tablet and a phone together - single data fee, single app purchase to access on both devices, and the holy grail: seamless application switching (from tablet to phone or vice versa) will bank my cash. And probably lots of it. I can imagine pausing a game or email reply and transfer to another device and the app and it's current state are all transferred over. Similar to the webOS tap-to-switch for the browser, but with any app.

well there's one good thing about the overpriced xoom

Quote :
"According to the “official” Motorola Twitter account, the XOOM will come packed with a “unlockable/relockable bootloader” that gives developers access to hardware for development. Yes, you are reading that correctly. I’m actually speechless right now…what exactly does that mean though? Do they have something secret planned to control developer access, but complete limit end user? Will it be similar to the Nexus S method? I have no idea, but the hammering of the account has already begun, so keep it hear as we’ll be all over this."

ha, apparently google is killing the facebook contact sync on the N1 and Nexus S.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
Quote :
"We believe it is very important that users are able to control their data. So in the over-the-air update for Nexus S, we have a small change to how Facebook contacts appear on the device. For Nexus S users who downloaded the Facebook app from Android Market, Facebook contacts will no longer appear to be integrated with the Android Contacts app. Since Facebook contacts cannot be exported from the device, the appearance of integration created a false sense of data portability. Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data. We are removing the special-case handling of Facebook contacts on Nexus S and future lead devices. We continue to believe that reciprocity (the expectation that if information can be imported into a service it should be able to be exported) is an important step toward creating a world of true data liberation -- and encourage other websites and app developers to allow users to export their contacts as well."

The only thing I use it for is to get contact photos for people already in my address book. And some of the integrated facebook stuff like Samsung has in touchwiz does the same thing.

I like blur's level of social integration (who needs to open the facebook app for anything but chat? ), and I liked being able to link pictures to my contacts while i was running CM7 on my Aria, but agree with the point of reciprocity (even if I don't really use it)
