I don't understand why they need this. They made a gorgeous and great device. It probably has one of the best smartphone cameras ever. Because of what they did, now everyone is talking about how they faked the photos instead of talking abou

I did a comparison by actually searching the same phrases on google.com/ncr with Incognito. The actual Google results are much better than the Google results on this page. Search for "Hunger Games" on Google returns the IMDB page as the fir

So we have 100 million ICS devices out there? Suddenly, it doesn't sound so bad.

I would still use Cyanogenmod with a Nexus. Besides, Cyanogenmod isn't lagging behind that much. It took a little too long from Gingerbread to ICS but we probably will have Stable Cyanogenmod 10 very soon.

Which is even worse, because no other company can use this term that people "associate with not noticing pixels". Even when their devices outdo iPhone in terms of PPI, they will never be able to market it as retina. If we really are going t

by esolyt 14y ago
Your definition of retina is based on 2 assumptions: 1) Everyone has the same eyes. 2) Everyone holds their phone at the same distance. Both of these assumptions are incorrect. Therefore, a display that is retina to you, may not be retina t

by esolyt 14y ago
What does retina mean? Can you explain to us? Do we really need a term for "high PPI"? If iPhone 4 is retina, then what is Xperia S? It is certainly not retina, because it would be insulting to call it retina when its pixels are even more i

Apple also applied for a trademark for "retina display".

It is not easy to provide those numbers because there are no standards for battery tests. 2.5 hours of what? Browsing? Video playback? What level of brightness? In an area of weak signal or perfect signal?

What I meant was, this is the correct approach. The implementation is not necessarily perfect. But in my opinion, it is much better than Apple's approach, which actually gives the world a bigger problem: A company deciding what software I c

All of them are solved by sandboxing and permission mechanism. "Fuck you, I don't want to waste my time" is actually the response developers should be giving to Apple when they are made to wait more than a month for their app to be reviewed

If you are big fan of open source, I would suggest you to consider diving into source and send a few patches. Because AOSP receives about 100 independent contributions every month and almost half of term are merged into the master tree.

Samsung isn't the only Android manufacturer. It also isn't the only one being sued by Apple. One of the benefits of Android being open source and free software is that it encourages small players to start competing with giants by giving the

I'm not sure if you are aware but "thermonuclear war" was the term Steve Jobs used. It's certainly not just Groklaw's observation.

Thank you. I didn't know Apple introduced its 30-pin connector even before the PDMI standard. But still my argument stands. Both Samsung and Asus are using 30-pin PDMI-based connectors for their 10 inch tablets. I find it pointless to do a

This is an interesting prejudice. I don't know what makes the author think Google's app will offer poor experience. YouTube app for Android is great. I'm sure Google will try to create a great experience for iOS as well.

Because actually both are using the standard 30-pin PDMI connector and just modify the pins. http://www.bizlinktech.com/pix/PDMI%20CRADLE%20CONNECTOR2_cl... The comparison images you found are created by uninformed Verge and Engadget foru

Galaxy S3 is specifically designed not to look like the iPhone. Galaxy Note is a completely different type of product. It has a stylus and a giant 720p screen. It seems unlikely that anyone would confuse these products with an iPhone. They
