Every time I see a tablet with TheVerge loaded on it, I think it’s a Windows 8 device…

Someone buy this man a Nokia 3310 so he can play Snake and keep beating his own best score =D

I have been waiting for this game for almost a decade!

You know what the main problem is? You can’t buy songs if you’re outside US. That sucks.

I used to write on gaming scene in India till about couple of years back. And people in the pro-gaming scene know you guys =D

Is Xbox 260, a prototype of Xbox 360 someone forgot at a bar? =P /jk

As far as I am concerned I try not to pull all my eggs in one basket.
I use an Android phone
Windows on my PC
Own PS3, Xbox 360 on the gaming front (sorry Nintendo tried your Wii hated it, sold it within a month)
iPod Touch for music during workouts etc.
The only company you could say I’m overdependent on is Google that too mainly because of the way it’s services integrate with my phone. But that my change soon as I like Windows 8 till now. I have been using consumer preview full time now with no hiccups a netbook! ( I connect it to a TV and use wireless keboard and mouse to get around the screen size limitations)

This is why I visit this site =)

Sorry for the typos, don’t have enough time to proof them sorry folks =)

Very well said, I am an Android user (Nexus S) and I still thought Lumia review wasn’t fair enough. I don’t have a problems with any of the negatives Josh highlighted but the main issue is that he did not highlight all the strengths of the device. He praised Nokia for the phone, but not enough attention was given to the OS. Which was disappointing.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to Win8 devices since I think it might be my next.

How about two-finger swiping the keyboard to the side to reveal a numpad/arrow keys?

MS wants to sell a few million consoles before they announce their next model.

Win+B takes the focus to notification area
Win+X brings up some useful settings option in the bottom left in Windows 8, not sure if it works in Windows 7.

Yes the skins really kill it in low-end devices. I doubt the OEMs will put out low-end phones without skins though.

Is it possible to have such an interface for TheVerge in Google Currents?

I am a Nexus S user and I have the same issues as @ledlow posted above. Apart from that I love Android.
Also, stay away from the low-spec models as they are laggy and will make you hate the device. I would suggest you buy a Nexus device or one of the other high-end models from any of the top OEMs.

1. They should take a leaf out of Microsoft’s playbook and trim down the OS so that it works equally well on low-spec devices. Android on low-end devices feels cheap and laggy as of now and that really needs to change.
2. Make it possible to set MP3s and ringtones without having to use additional apps
3. Make it possible to load an additional apps on the ‘sidebar’ like in Windows 8.
4. Make mobile apps load in the side rather than force scaling it to full screen in tablets.

I see… I’m using Windows 8 consumer preview, but haven’t faced any problem yet. Just wanted to know if there were things which were not being caught that’s all. I’ll install AVG and check out if any trojans slipped through. That would make an interesting story I guess.

Small question folks how good is Defender against trojans?

Also, people would have still complained about the missing dual analogue sticks =D

Wow that would have been thicker than Nokia N-Gage!

It’s a great app, I have been using it for a few days now. All the other Android apps that sync to SimpleNote are terrible. This is only one that has really worked well.

I haven’t tried that ever, but that is something Google could work on instead of creating a whole different OS.

Pro tip: Zoom out by pressing ctrl+- on Windows or command+- on Mac to see all o’s =D It’s much easier that way.
