I wouldn't say the entire industry is heading for HTML5. Yes, it is very capable, but, check out this demo: http://molehill.zombietycoon.com/ Flash's decision to drop mobile is probably because they're focusing more on Flash 11 and Molehi

As a technical demo, awesome. Off the bat thought can you put tool tips on buttons when I mouse over? It would be cool to know when things did before click on it.

Well, not that my iTunes library is larger than my online streaming library, but it has a larger library of songs I listen to than my online streaming library if that makes any sense to you. Also, my iTunes library is available offline cros

I wouldn't compare the two. I'd use both. You can't possibly dismiss iTunes Match as a killer feature itself could you?

I think the library is probably the biggest thing for OP. I mean, when I first tried using Spotify and found out they only had a single track from Blink-182, I immediately stopped using it. They have their entire catalog now, but, I'd imagi

I ask for this disruption everyday, but the resistance from cable companies is so strong 'cause they make so much money leasing boxes and locking people into 2 year contract bundles along with exclusive sports packages.

Graphically speaking it's actualy a pretty huge jump from the DS. But yes, you're right, there's nothing added. Most people play it with 3D turned off. Augmented reality isn't used at all. And yep, we'll have to wait until their core titles

There's a reason I use FB and Twitter vs. RSS feeds. Because its so damn dominant, a lot of sources post to Twitter and FB exclusively. Furthermore, if there's anything particularly popular/huge/breaking, FB's algorithm populates the top of

Missing the point. Because RSS has a more convenient alternative in the form FB Likes and Twitter feeds its not so popular to use. If the web/email/tv/phone had a super convenient alternative, we're talking one-click integration to a system

iOS is a gold mine for 3rd party. Someone needs to look at how well Scribblenauts http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scribblenauts-remix/id4448447... is doing on iOS vs. DS as an example. This affects the casual market for DS. Why spend $250

Personally, I would use it. I don't feel like shelling $600 for a Mac, I but I would shell $20/month for 6 months and get some work done. Time value of money is worth a lot. The pricing turns me off however. Keep it simple with free month t

I think you hit all the points exactly. What I think these companies need to realize is that they're completely wasting their money not capitalizing on revenue streams. For new movies, sure, theaters only. For newly released DVDs, sure, sto

What boggles my mind is how excited about RIM products their CEO is in public announcements. He did it with the Playbook but even worse he's done in every time in the past, most notably, with the Torch. He EXPECTED 1 million + sales opening

I do have an iTouch, and was looking to get an iPad but at $199 the Fire is too attractive. If it can get Hulu Plus, HBO Go, and the like. I'll be happy. As it stands, you are right, I'm best with iOS.

If it were up to Netflix they would give customers the content they want for the price that they want. Hollywood obviously wasn't going to let this slide and I fear streaming services will soon hike to cable-like prices. Also, people paid f

I'm assuming most people here have Netflix and do not have cable. Here is Starz' dilemma: Let's take all cable subscribers and consider them potential Starz customers. They can A. Pay $15/month to get Starz or B. Pay $8/month to get Netflix
