If you haven't realized it by now, don't buy hardware that says you will be getting X and Y features "soon". Buy it for exactly what it has at the time. If you go buy a honeycomb tablet right now with 3.0 with the promise that 3.1 and 3.2 is coming soon, don't come complaining on any forums when it ...

I'm actually surprised by how many people care about the 1080p on tablets. I find it extremely annoying to have to connect a HDMI cable, which is the only time 1080 matters. Now give me something like airplay for android and I'd be all over it.

1) Many people seem to expect an iPad or Xoom experience for half the price. There is a reason why those devices are $500+. :) 2) The "application not found" error to me was fixed when I moved apps back to internal storage. I know this isn't a great solution due to limited space, but for me at least...

I can't remember where I've seen things like this, and it is possible there isn't one that fits the 101. I want to get a case that has a strap on the back that allows me to hold it in one hand. I've seen a few examples that work for the ipad, but clearly those won't fit. A similar thing for the A70 ...

Anytime you want to be able to do self upgrades you need to give up a lot. Usually means a much larger case because things you can remove take up more space than thinks that are set in place. Usually means a lot more cost(in this case probably more cost than just putting 512MB in there to begin with...

I think I've tried most of them out there, but giving this a shot anyway. I have 2 main requirements 1) Must be able to do pages(like I hit the left side and it goes to the next page) 2) Must be able to work in portrait mode. 3) Must download articles. 60-70% of my reading is in places with no wifi ...

You are basically saying that noone should buy this and spend your money elsewhere. There simply are no alternatives in this same price point. For what the OP wants it for(reading, web browsing mainly it seems), the RAM will not be an issue. The USB port will not be an issue. Wifi I guess could be a...

"Chrome bookmark synch"

I have no idea why this has taken them until V3.0 to add into their mobile OS.

Android manages programs in memory much differently than Windows. There is no need to worry about these programs starting up and staying running. You don't need to close them using the system monitor (unless you are running out of memory and your device is crawling along-then you need to track down...

What something you can easily take with you? 70

What something with a bigger screen to use on the sofa? 101


Both are great. I have both and I find I use the 70 more often just because I can take it with me easier.

I've recently done this myself to 90-100 DVDs. Very simple process - DVD Shrink - Copy the data into an ISO on your harddrive. Do make sure you copy as an ISO as the vob files seem to be a little harder to deal with. You can skip this step if you just want to encode from the DVD. This will NOT do al...

Everything google has done with android really points towards them wanting to do basically whatever you want on it. If the google applications was a paid app I'd feel differently, but they give away every piece of this software for free in the various forms they all exist in. The only difference in ...

101 - I'd suggest it for reading if you are able to set it down on a table and stand it up. Comics(or anything with a lot of images) would also work very well with this. 70 - I like this better for books/RSS feeds. I just like the idea that I can easily hold it in 1 hand, scroll with the other and i...

As people have noted, Engadget is directed to a fairly wide audience. I might hesitate to give the A70 as a gift in part because it doesn't quite work perfectly from the get-go. I agree that it not working 100% perfectly is a concern, but the bigger concern for me would be how that person would use...

Too much amperage will not "overdrive" a device. The device will only draw the amps that it needs. Think about it. You plug your little "wall wart" charger into a wall plug that delivers 115v @ 10 amps at minimum when it only needs maybe 1 or 2 amps at most to work. :) This isn't true. There is sti...

I'm looking for something like this as well. I've tried both winamp and doubletwist. Both work for syncing to their own apps it seems, but I've found the build in music player to be much more stable so I'd like to get something that actually syncs playlists to the stock player. I can sync songs fine...

First a question on the nook. Does it support things like uPnP and Samba? Bluetooth is pretty much a killer for me though right now. Not that I use it all the time, but it is extremely nice to be able to connect a GPS or wireless headphones. my ipad gets laggy at times with the latest ios update whi...

Not sure if it was engadget or not, but I also read that Verizon was cutting the price by $100 on the galaxy tab. It was normally $600 and you didn't have to sign a contract. Maybe they are just finding out that most people are still signing up for data, just not locking in for 2 years. Still a bit ...

Your device has 8GB of storage. Android requires a system partition to store the system code along with application code. Archos has dedicated 299MB for this. The apps2SD is the idea that a game like angry birds can be split up into 2 parts. The first part is code that is requires for the app to run...

they already just released another update which did away with their custom interface for the most part and fixed most of it. Seems like both companies are continually supporting the device pretty well. If only a company will get it right the first time Honestly I wouldn't expect it out of anything ...
