The recoding studio that I recorded with most recently had a Pioneer Kuro, probably a 60", not sure. Even off, it was magnificent.

Absolutely brilliant article.
Seriously.
Also, as someone who lives nearby and goes to Ukiah every day, it’s amazing to see the town mentioned on The Verge.

It seems to be getting worse. My Droid X came with 2.1, already had 2.2 when I bought it, and got 2.3 a lot faster than most non Verizon, non Motorola phones. That’s 2 major upgrades – as good as my old iphone 3G

I’m in the same boat, age old Motorola fanboy, love their materials and build quality, don’t like their current phones.
I’ve been hearing rumors about a Droid Fighter that should basically take the RAZR Maxx and give it a 720p screen and ICS, plus who knows what.
They also committed at CES to make one of the first american phones running Intel’s Medsfield processors, and they said it was coming in the summer. Which is fast approaching, obviously.

Probably 80% of the people I know who actually use Facebook actively on a regular basis are baby boomers or one generation younger.
And I’m 18, so it’s not that all of my friends on FB are that age – in fact, most aren’t.

It’s not really the extra millimeters, it’s more the price. For me, if I were to upgrade right now, the RAZR would cost me $69 while the RAZR Maxx would be $279. Not sure that’s really worth $200 for a battery.
Then again, I’m probably not getting either of them.

You can always just plug in a fullsize wireless keyboard. Works like a charm.

Now, if they just take the RAZR Maxx, upgrade it to ICS, and add a non-pentile 720p display a lá the One X, but hopefully somewhat smaller, this will be my absolute perfect phone.

Did I state that they were?
Android is, as I stated, not there yet for tablets for most users, and the reviews reflect that.
What I was saying is that when/if the reviews do start becoming positive for Android or Windows or something else tablets, it’s not going to change anything, and people will keep buying the iPad.

Whether or not it’s true that the iPad is better then the competition(I agree that for most users it is) is besides the point, and not what I was saying. What I was saying is that they will remain the most popular if/when there is a competitor that is undeniably better.
The iPhone/Android phones example doesn’t hold up, because the main influence of phone sales is not how good the phone is or how well it’s marketed, or anything else that normally applies for almost all markets. It’s whether or not it’s offered on your carrier. The reason Android was able to carve out space for itself and become popular is not because it’s good(it is) or well marketed(it isn’t) but because when people really started wanting smartphones, Android was the only decent option on Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. Plus the smaller carriers. If the iPhone would have been on all carriers around the time of the original Droid launch, Android would have never taken off.
