According to ryan_socio, as of last week it wasn’t. Considering his info about I/O last year was spot on, I’m inclined to believe his info. However, I really hope they just hadn’t rolled that out yet and will integrate it.

S-OFF only matters if you want to flash different radios. If doesn’t hamper your ability to flash a ROM.

Koush (ClockworkMod dev, also a CM dev) explained this in a G+ post a few days ago.

The AT&T one has been unlocked, actually. The dev is holding back the details until after the Verizon launch so they don’t patch it.

Honestly, if you want a future proof XBMC experience, you just need to build an HTPC.

While its more expensive up front, you really have no limitations on how XBMC will run, what skins you can use, and what file types you can play. Not to mention having to worry about how something was encoded.

If you main goal is to run XBMC, get the Pivos XIOS. One of the XBMC devs works for Pivos, and worked very closely with them to make sure the XBMC experience is excellent.

Outside of that, my son has a Nabi 2 tablet (Tegra3) and it runs XBMC (with Aeon Nox) pretty great. It takes a minute to load, but playback is pretty good. It can’t handle WMVs though.

I’d recommend first-last.com (which may arguably be better, depending on your name. bendover.com vs ben-dover.com, for example.

If not that, then I’d go the .net route. .net is just as recognizable (and business acceptable) as a .com, without being too regional (.us) or too weird (.me).

FWIW, I finally got around to flashing a ROM on my NS4G, and so far the Hellybean 4.2.2 ROM has been smooth as can be. Smoothest its been since it was 2.3.7, actually.

I just wiped my phone and flashed a ROM (was stock) and its nice and speedy again. I surmise this is mostly due to the actual wiping of the phone and less so the ROM.

Either way, totally usable.

It better have a decent UI, and the ability to search ONLY Prime.
It should also not list a show X amount of times in search results because it has X seasons.

Those 2 items right there make me use Netflix way more than Prime videos on my Blu-Ray players..
