SW: Mobile Wars - HTC Droid DNA - 5" 1920x1080 display - Snapdragon S4 Pro

Old news, but the lightning adapters has these goodies inside. Bought the adapter for the sole purpose of hooking up to the e7 shweet so this is a plus.

Implementation of a DAC is more important than the DAC itself, and this is far from ideal.

Why would you not just use the DAC in the Fiio? A lightning to USB adapter, then USB to the Fiio.

HTC and Verizon Press Conference on November 13th.

This might be for the North American version of the HTC J Butterfly.

Boy that's not good. Slate asks why MS Surface is so bad. I really wanted a real OS company to make a compelling product, I'm starting to become disappointed.musicalmac

Windows RT on the surface is limited to software programmed for ARM based hardware.

I've already said it countless times, Windows 8 tablets start at $499 and can do everything a desktop or laptop can.

You know that thing called Windows 8? It uses x86 hardware and can run every windows application.

It's better because you're not limited to ARM based software.

Most programs that aren't optimized for finger touch can still work very will with a pen or a KB/M.

An x86 tablet is more versatile, if someone wants to toy with apps, that's what your phone is for. With so many x86 tablets having keyboard docks or other accessories, it leaves you open with plenty of options to use the device to suit your needs.

Another factor that gets completely ignored is compatibility with hardware. Essentially every USB device can pair with your tablet, even those that require a software suit for operation.

Performance of x86 tablets are also a large factor, the weakest x86 device with Intel's Clover Trail is still more powerful than most (if not all) ARM SoCs available. The more powerful come with i5 or i7 processors (same that you would find in a laptop). Of course AMD will be entering the tablet market too with their Z series APU (likely to take on Clover Trail).

Now that's what a I call a twist lol :P You did you went from religion to classial languages to organic chemistry? XD Seems like they don't relate in any possible way lol :P

Desmonic

Quite the change then hehe :P Especially considering you hang with developers, which do the opposite of memorizing stuff. They either know how it works or don't, that simple...shame that to know how it works you need to study, learn and actually comprehend a sh*t load of concepts lol Ah well, such is the life of a programmer! :P

How did you find Latin? Being Portuguese I kind of always wanted to try it ou, since we can understand several words and small simple phrases since Portuguese itself derives (not only) from Latin...but just learning how to pronounce the damn words seems too much of a hassle lol (even though in terms of vocalization of the words they seem also quite similar to the sounds produced in modern Portuguese). Btw, by religious studies do you mean you studied a specific religion or was it more of a broad study in theology itself?

Desmonic

What to expect from the HTC/Verizon event:

HTC Droid DNA

5inch 1920x1080 display (~440ppi) powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro.

Apple Inc. told a judge that Samsung Electronics Co. (005930)s Galaxy Note 10.1 device infringes its patents, and sought to add the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system to an existing lawsuit against Samsung in California.Bloomberg

But.....by 2014 isn't it quite likely that Samsung has already moved on from the Note 10.1 to whatever they want to do next likewise for the Android OS. The lawsuit won't really affect their sales, now will it? Assuming Apple wins and asks for that product to be taken off the market (plus whatever sum they ask for) it won't make much off a difference by then.Obviously if they win they can ask for 1 billion dollars again of course. But I don't really see how the Note 10.1 might break any patents this time..at least in terms of looks you can't really confuse it with an iPad can you? Maybe it's something to do how it uses the software? Would also explain why they are also mixing the OS into the lawsuit...Desmonic

Curious to see what the heck this is all about this time :PDesmonic

So android is now closing in on the holy grail of iOS, the appstore revenues.

Boy O boy it just keeps getting better for android.

LG: Hey apple I got the new nexus will you please sue me now?? I wanna become popular.

:P

Curious to see this indeed, apple cant jeopardize relations with yet another industrial heavyweight so I think apple will just let the nexus 4 live in peace just like the nexus 7.

The nexus 10 on the other hand you bet is going to be called on. :lol:

No paid game on android has yet crossed 5 million and very few games managed to go past 1 million. Alot of very high quality games never see half a million. Now compare this with how the big titles sell on consoles or even PC despite their steep asking price and you see how little the "serious" mobile gaming community is.

I am sure another reason why freemium games are doing better is because in-app purchases are harder to pirate.

So nexus 4 8GB is up for pre-order in my country for......wait for it......$570. :(

The GS3 16GB is available for $500 so its not only so much more than the US price but its also not really the best value for money either.

Torn between the iphone 5 and the nexus 4...decisions...

Honestly if I ever need a phone just for work, I could see myself investing in a Blackberry. They may not be as great as they once were, but they still make pretty functional phones it seems, and the design itself is pretty good for work situtations. Discrete, simple but somewhat attractive. Plus they aren't that expensive. Usually well within my budget.

Desmonic

Uh oh...Apple's stock price is falling fast...

Soon, it might not be worth more than the entry level 4th gen iPad. :(

Everything for them is riding on the success of BB10. Even if their BB10 devices aren't doing anything better than an Android device or iPhone, it will at least be matching them. Just getting to that point might be enough for them to sustain.

So far they have the hardware for their new devices nailed, Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro. As for the OS, BB10 is definatly making some leaps and bounds, but again it might not be enough.

Marketing and restoring brand image is also important. BlackBerry for the longest time was about a few premium devices, in order to expand their market, they started to create budget devices such as the BB Pearl. Instead of going for mass appeal, they should have continued to push ahead and innovate. At least then they might not have fallen so far behind the competition.

It looks pretty easy :P

Fiio seems rather upset that Apple used the lightning connector:

"Apple made a wrong decision, because they should known that it means all the accessory will be very expensive and end customer can't afford the price.

All MFi( Made For iDevice) licensee have to pay a lots of money to test the products and pay very high licence fee to Apple . Also Apple are limited the quantity of the licensee so the competition is not so hard as

other consumer products. the only result is that all accessory for iDevice become luxury products." feiao (Fiio on head-fi)

Anyways you'll have to get a MFi device :(

Meh, just as I figure when I plugged in the mini usb adapter. It doesnt work with my 4 either, but I can always use the camera connection kit loophole for ip4. Though that is another can of worms I have to deal with :\

Hardware makers can't make Lightning connectors without Apple's "Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad" seal of approval, and in order to get that seal of approval, you have to pay a licensing fee and not be based in China.

A recent post from Fiio on Head-Fi implies that they aren't able to get the required security codes for proper authentication from Apple because they aren't fond of handing over such things to Chinese manufacturers.
