Not sure about droid site, but this was fun and very smartly targeted: and this is simply genius: |

Love the second commercial.
The first one could be about a lot of Android phones as well. And until I play with that particular Droid, the jerky UI that is Android's early compromise between power and multiple hardware platform compatibility still makes the iPhone a smoother (and for many users, therefore, seemingly quicker) experience. Still not certain whether my next phone will be a Droid or a Nexus. I do happen to like keyboards. Back on track: Can anyone verify whether ICS will have digital USB audio? If not, I suppose I'll jaunt over to XDA. |

Here's a thread where the option's being discussed, but no one's tested it so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=19675761 Someone mentions the Fiio E7. That's interesting, because I suspect an external DAC with ICS will have to be self-powered, as is the E7, but will also have to be compatible, which is something Fiio's talking about creating on various Head-fi threads. Monkeyluis: Both commercials are from 2009. I still happen to think they're funny -- mostly because you don't often see that POV and geek-friendly tone reflected in advertising. You just see commercials that use the words geek and nerd in clueless patronizing ways. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 11-27-2011 at 01:11 PM. |

That was so great in the old WinMo 6.5. I could run the news on slingplayer in the background and it just kept going while I wrote an e-mail or something. It does work on my Touchpad, though. |

I agree -- multitasking is as important to me as a keyboard. The designer's affectation of appearing to innovate by leaving one thing out is horribly overrated. The effect looks pretty until one walks into an almost-empty environment expecting to see everything in its right place.

And I still refuse to believe that anyone above the age of 13 would like the droid ad - did you actually go to the website? Some products succeed despite their ads. |

Android has full multitasking and allows 3rd party apps to have full multitasking capabilities, this requires the App devs however make use of this feature. I do have fond memories of my 6.5 phone, but I also do recall how difficult it was to use my phone when an app was utilizing the CPU. I always wondered why MS didn't give the phone app the highest priority. Quote:

Are you sure that you are talking about the right person? I don't see him bashing Apple in this thread. He may have expressed discontent on other threads but I can't find it on this thread.

Now that this thread has turned into a Android vs iOS fight I thought I should post these. Now guys keep in mind they are funny because they are true. |

If you're not careful, I'm going to start linking to my XtraNormal animations!
Here's why I keep asking about ICS and USB Audio (a post from XDA): Quote:
