Not sure what I think
EDIT: posted in wrong forum *sigh* Mods feel free to do what you wish

I think it is an underpowered netbook.
Looks ok but I think I will stick to my netbook.

I will stick with pure Google experience tablet ... The one without customization ... The one that will receive update directly ... The one that is BLESSED by Google!
I don't know which one, probably the XOOM ... The Motorola Android tablet.

I really can't understand the success of tablets. I see their potential as a casual browsing device, but they fill a hole between phones and computers which wasn't all that gaping. They are completely a luxury object, without the nature of practicality and necessity which phones and traditional computers have, and at the overblown price some are sold at, its a wonder they shift so many units.
But the weirdest thing, I think, is rear facing cameras on tablets. I mean, who wants to whip out a device the size of a book or larger to take a photo? And yet it seems to go unquestioned, even celebrated.

Tablet is nice ... more portable compare to laptop ... and bigger screen compare to mobile phone.
I need one and I need one now
Because I can see me using it in the couch ... bed ... sofa ... etc.
And yes, I don't need rear camera .... and give me WIFI only ...
No wifi only = no deal ...

One thing thing I like about my G1 (besides everything)

I read some people saying they don't like it's "clunky" look or that it's simply not as sleek as the iphone. Well I don't think it's really that bad and see it as a disguise from thieves. Who wants to steal a phone that doesn't look that sleek?
Anyways...I have very little complaints about my phone because it has everything I need in a single device....finally!
AMEN!
I used to carry around my old phone AND an iPod Touch, but I traded my iPod on craigslist for a G1 and I couldn't be happier.
Unlike a lot of people I enjoy Android much more than mobile OSX because of the more hands on and in depth modding. On the iPod all you needed to do was download a package and BAM there it was, new feature.
I also like the fact that the G1 is unique, ugly but unique. It seems like half the world's population owns an iPhone.
And yet there are a hundred themes and out home replacement apps that try and replicate the iPhone look. Why the infatuation? The iphone is pretty inferior if you ask me. The it took the second iteration to support 3G. And now the third supports MMS, video, and copy paste. Then they have the balls to tout these features as new and cutting edge. My razr had 3G when iPhone one came out. Come on apple. This sums it up pretty well I think.

I think it's easy for us to forget that Apple's in the fashion industry.
I don't hate the iphone but I do find it funny how everyon brags about it. Up until now I wasn't able to find something that beats. In most every way. I do wish my phone had a regular headphone jack simply so I could charge it AND plug my headphones in but I think there is a workaround with an adapter. Other than that I don't think I could be happier
I don't like the feel of iphonies... they're the wrong shape and dont fit in your hand right. Too wide makes it difficult to reach parts of the screen with your thumb when holding it in one hand.

Nexus 4 tripod mount??

I've had a look and can only really find them for iphone
Really want to be able to connect to a flexible tripod so i can connect on to loads of things. Would be a really useful accessory.

Would be cool but, can't find any for this size device. I had one for my prior phones...
Here is what I do for my various devices... I use the RAM mounting system. I have a couple of different length arms, and bases for truck, boat, golf cart, etc. I have cradles for my, Nexus 7, Garmin, and iPhone, but for my Nexus 4 I am using the new XGrip universal which I quite like (since getting it, it is the only cradle I use anymore).
If you use this system you can get a threaded 1 inch ball with standard (1/4-20) threads for a couple of bucks and screw it to any standard tripod.
Any update on this? i really wanted a simply (pretty cheap) mount that i could use with the groillapod tripod. don't wanna spend a lot of money since i would only be using it for golf practice every once in while. Thanks!
Does anyone know a way to go about making a cheap tripod for a N4? I have a photography project due in 2 days and I need to produce some good photospheres and panoramas..
I just need a way to keep this thing sturdy while retaining movement. Holding it in my hand just doesn't cut it anymore.

There's this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150967108817 but the axis of rotation is the centre of the phone, not the centre of the lens, might not produce seamless photospheres ...
Mount it upside down in one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002L4QCVE might not be so far off-centre

That's what she said.
Hi
I like the look of the x grip.. I watched the youtube video linekd to and it looks great.
I know almost nothing about tripods.
The user "solutions et" mentions something about a one inch threaded ball. I have no idea what this is.. Where to get it?
What budget tripods can I get that will support the Xgrip?
Do I need to get 3 items.. The tripod, something in between, and an Xgrip?
I want to make sure they're all compatible and I don't know how.
Would appreciate any advice on that.
Thanks
You actually need 4 parts... the X-grip, a one inch ball with 1/4-20 thread to mount to the tripod's screw, an arm to interconnect the ball on the tripod to the ball on the X-grip, and of course a tripod.
Arms are available in lengths from 2.5 inches to about 5 inches. Check out gpscity.com for all of the various RAM mount parts.

Samsung Ipad

If you are looking for an ipad quality android tablet this is it. And so much more. The pixels per inch on this device creates a screen so sharp it makes me feel all warm inside just looking at it. The UI is smooth, fluid and snappy. And the pen rivals that of the surface pro, its like writing on paper my handwriting looks exactly the same. Text recognition is pretty spot on, with similar functions of onenote. For example, Snote now allows me to jot my notes, then select a section of them to transfer right to text. Or if you prefer handwritten, those are fully searchable as well. Not to mention a built in swype keyboard that us android users have All come to know and love is a pleasure to use the pen with may I add. Pair that with a growing and gorgeous looking (on this device) app store and you have a tablet to contend with, well, pretty much anything. Oh, you also get 600 dollars worth of free services including Dropbox and evernote. They were even nice enough to throw in $25 worth of Google store credit, and 50 Samsung bux. I truly feel love toward this device. If you have any questions feel free to ask, but I might be too busy enjoying my new tablet. Dont take my word for it. Go test this beast at best buy before you inevitably buy.
Side note, I purchased the 10.1 note late this summer and unloaded it off Craigslist in anticipation for this device. This device en fully fixes all the flaws I saw with the older version.
Google, Samsung, I'm currently looking for work.
I haven't used this cloth since I bought my 09 mbp. Thought it was appropriate

As one of the XDA reviewers and long time users of both STRATA and FRAME, I'm drooling over this
The Verge just did a write up as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5277128/metawatch-meta-premium-smartwatch-brand
Coincidentally, Pebble going to introduce Pebble Steel which is the same as regular one but with a metal frame/bracelet, but it's nowhere near as elegant as this one. Sorry, but I think it was brilliant how they incorporated 4 corner buttons as part of the bracelet buckle (obviously Frank Nuovo design). Also, fantastic move to switch to epaper display.
Can't wait to test it out!!!
yeah really like the new steel pebble, the matte black with leather strap looks really nice
still, wish HOT Watch would be getting here sooner, really want to try the private calling function, if it's not to my liking i'm interested in something else
Btw, I haven't seen anybody confirm those hinges are secured by 4 corner buttons. I'm just assuming they are keeping functionality unchanged since the original MW has 6 buttons and going down to 2 would be too much of a change. I'm also curious if it's going to be waterproof like FRAME and if they're going to use a similar charging clip or something else, maybe magnetically attached one? As soon as I find out more details, hopefully after CES, I will post it in here.
I am more excited if there are much faster development on the Android software front!
I like the new hardware of course but at the moment pebble steel wins overall due to the solid development work on both official and unofficial software.
Still praying hard for my metawatch frame to be revived with this new announcement!

Waterproof case

Has anyone been able to find a Waterproof case for the Tab S7? I have been searching everywhere and cant find one. I really dont want to put the whole thing in a waterproof "bag" type case but i will if I have to. I would think they would have them out by now.
Thanks,
Well I think water proof bag might be the only choice for devices like this. Model-specific water-proof case for phones is kind of niche, and even more so for tablets, let alone an Android tablet... Bag should work fine for occasional use just not as convenient or elegant

Never count on a device or case to be waterproof unless designed for diving. Even then you need to keep an eye on it.
Yeah I knew it would be slim pickings. It would never be submerged and its mostly for heavy rain/dust (Mounting in a Polaris RZR) for navigation and music.
I was hoping there would be one for a flagship device.
We've got a heat sealer at work so I just heat sealed some polypro bags to the right size to try out this weekend. HOpefully someone comes out with one but I have what seems to be a decent bump case on it for now.
