The Android thread

And HTCs don't. Especially the ones with aluminium unibodies. :D

I'm actually quite happy with the stratosphere from a physical build perspective. No wiggle with the slider, relatively weighty (but not too much so you're not feeling the weight "pull" you when typing in some situations) its nice.

I will admit that beyond some questionable asthetic decisions htc's are still pretty solid. Ironically I like the vivid and many here in the states were not impressed with the styling.
 
I can't wait for this Friday to come and for the Galaxy Nexus to not be available on verizon!

I got Tetris, it made me very angry.
 
Google just released the Currents app. It's basically a glorified RSS reader and boy, does it look pretty. It's currently only available in the market if you're from the US, but a little googling will find you the apk, after which there are no more limitations.
 
luckily the amazon app store has a few of these, like tetris and can knockdown among others, had to "get" reckless tho

That's kinda interesting considering that they have a Google Reader app already.
 
I think they just wanted to ditch it, rather than rewrite. This is much much better. Also, there's a section in the app for your google reader feeds.
 
Actually, they're completely different. As far as I can tell, Currents has no way of allowing me to look at all of my feeds at once. I have to choose one and scroll through it. This, combined with the eye-killing light color theme has me going right back to Pulse.

Yup, Currents is pretty much another one of those flashy "i wanna read things like a newspaper on my electronic device" RSS reader apps that make quickly looking at shit in an organized manner a pain in the ass. Just like I've said no to Pulse or whatever the fuck the big one on the iPhone/iPad is, I'll stick to Google Reader. It's simple and gets the job done.

Well, after a lot of time in court, Apple have failed to have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned from sale in Australia. It will be in shops in time for Christmas. :D
 
Moreso, Moto has won an injunction against all iPhones up to the 4(4s wasn't around when they filed) as well as 3G iPads in Germany.

Funnily enough I was listening to the Engadget podcast and they were talking about it. Aparently Currents is supposed to be a morning paper type of thing where things are downloaded for you to read later, while Reader is more realtime. Still not sure of the point...

Currents = 21st century replacement for the magazine in the bathroom (eww..talk about germ city...)

Reader = quick and dirty checks of news while you're on the go.
 
Is it just me or is the 10C sale app selection quiet meh the past 2 days.
