[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think it's interesting how you put this: it's a "great learning tool" and an "instant babysitter." No offense meant anywhere here--I'm a parent, and I know how blissful a few minutes of peace can be.

However, I don't think tablets and smartphones and such are "great learning tools." I think they reinforce the notion that kids have today that learning has to be entertainment. I'm of an age where I remember learning math, vocab, grammar, science, etc., etc., the hard, boring way--and I'm convinced that I learned more and better skills that way. Later in life, today's kids aren't going to be entertained every second in their jobs, which is why I think so many young people today don't perform well.

I'd say that a tablet for a kid makes for a decent toy, and can definitely provide a better form of entertainment than TV. But I would never call it a "great learning tool." And, if I were to get my son a tablet, it would be an Android tablet--at least that way he can learn to explore a device and devise ways to make it fit his needs, even how to dig into something and modify it, like rooting and such (which is why I think a $149 Nexus tablet would be EXCELLENT).

Here's what I think: Apple seems to be eating into their profit margins with the iPad. This will only get worse as lower-priced (and higher-quality) Android tablets continue to hit the market. Since it's such a huge portion of their overall profits that have been driving their stock price, any reduction will have an impact going forward.

I think a $149 (or even $199) Google Nexus tablet of any decent quality and marketed well could be a killer. They WILL eat into Apple's market share, and Apple will be forced to either come out with a lower-priced iPad (thus destroying their place at the top and validating lower-cost products), and/or continue to eat into their margins.

Bottom line: I think we could see Apple's stock price drop considerably over the next few years. And as that happens, they'll stop getting all of the attention from the media. The same cycle of hype driving stock price driving hype driving stock price could reverse pretty quickly. All that depends on Google doing some smart things, of course, and there's absolutely no guarantee that they will.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:
Apple made a mistake going with a hi res screen, making a heavier and thicker tablet. On a 9.7" tablet, the better screen is not that noticeable. I saw the thing at the store. basically an overkill. Heavier and thicker is a big step backward. Apple wasted a year and an upgrade. I'm not gonna upgrade my wife's ipad2. I'm so tired of columnists praising the new ipad. I hope there are more article like this on cnet , speaking the truth (that the better screen isn't that different).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rel1215:
Threads like these are sad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Maybe they just want a tablet which works out of the box? And they think "Well, the $100 doesn't matter to me if I get a better screen and newer iPad". Android is great for people who want to change things on their tablet, but not for people who just want it to work.

Sure, you will not notice the screen is better but will notice it is a full 0,6 mm thicker and 50 grams heavier.. I mean come on, the first minute you will notice it is heavier (not even it is thinker) and then it isn't noticeable anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
there's actually more and more of those articles popping up. that people actually can't even tell the difference between the two displays side by side.

plus I did a little test of sorts last night. using opera browser I was looking at the font. I have good vision so it all looks clear to me. then I zoomed it up to the Max. the font still looks very clear and no jagged edges or anything. plus I can't see any pixels or whatever.

IMO, this shot looks clean as a mofo. so for me, the higher screen resolution is a bonus, but by far is needed. I came from an ipad1 resolution to the Prime 1280x800 resolution. now that's a bigger difference in clarity and why I think Prime has a great display itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
iPad 1: 132 PPI

Prime: 149 PPI

new iPad: 264 PPI

Prime: 149 PPI

Sure dude, the iPad 1 vs Prime is a bigger difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
I'm pretty sure it took me a week to find a sprint store with my Evo 3D. Sure, there weren't massive lines but for how hard it was to get one, sure seemed that way.

Also, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and XBox 360 all had massive lines. Apple isn't the only one. I remember seeing on the news that people were getting get shot for a Wii. Don't think I've heard of someone being shot for an iPad/iPhone.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I mean for me, resolution wise....print a screen shot of your new Ipad with font zoomed up. then compare how the font looks. that's when I say there'll hardly be any noticeable difference. that once you jump up to 1280x800 resolution, anything higher is barely noticeable to human eye. no matter how close or far you have tablet to your face. of course the new Ipad over old one is a big difference because old Ipad had a much lower resolution. that's why apple used screenshots to compare old one to new. I'm sire you noticed how they didn't compare to a higher resolution android tablet...lol. plus if you noticed how apple had to even have it magnified for you to even see a difference between the old n new. lol. people can't even tell the difference. SMH

Ipad gets no love here. Get used to it. This Prime country. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Totally agree with you. The thing is though, when i'm sitting in the train with my prime 95% of people will assume its an ipad anyway (i have the silver one).

So i get that feeling as a little bonus :D Usually makes me having a boner too, just wanted to let you know that :cool:

I'd wish this forum (and the world) could let go of all the apple hype/crazyness. I really think their products deserve their spot in the market. But they dont desever all the hype thats going on. The iphone is just a pretty good smartphone and the ipad is just a pretty good tablet. Nothing more. Like many other smartphones/tablets out there are pretty good products as well.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Lol its like saying going from 14fps to 60fps is a bigger difference than going from 60 to 240fps. You shouldn't care if you cant perceive it, anything above normal perception levels is marketing at best. I think for a 10 inch screen 1080p will be the highest perceivable resolution.

Don't be an isheep.

Hey guys this is for the stock rogers rom only. it's a battery % mod i created in UOT, also has a ics blue scroll, menu dividers and bars.

I have been trying to edit code using apkmanager to get a CRT off animation, if someone can figure it out and maybe pm, than i can post a new file for everyone

Instructions

1) Put file on SD Card

2) boot into cwm

3) Wipe Dalvike cache

4) Install from zip

5) Reboot

click link for file

for CRT animation, go to res/values/bools.xml. change the animate screen lights line to false.

So, what kinds of music maker apps do you guys like to use on your epics? I've looked at quite a few of em buy none have really wow'ed me so far. I'm kind of looking for something similar to that one Nintendo DS music synthesizer called Korg DS-10, any good ones out there?
[Epic 4G Apps] mucus_android:
nanoloops is the one i've found that i really enjoy.

another would be plasma keyboard.
[Epic 4G Apps] crazymadbaby:
Its called plasma sound now

Epic 4g, CM9 Beta, EL30, Shadow
[Epic 4G Apps] DrGit:
I second Plasma Sound, and I highly recommend CAUSTIC.

Also, check out IVory Tower - it's an isomorphic keyboard (some sort of cross between a piano and guitar layout, but more efficient) that can send MIDI notes over WiFi. It's not really a synthesizer, although it's not too hard to replace its default overdrive guitar sample if you don't have another device to send the MIDI to.

Beware, though, Android has horrible audio latency on nearly every device out there, the Epic included. Plasma Sound, Caustic, and nearly every music creation app I've tried all have an unacceptably long delay between the input and sound generation. Some people like to blame the hardware manufacturers for it, but http://arunraghavan.net/2012/01/pulseaudio-vs-audioflinger-fight leads me to believe it's purely an Android software issue, which only Google can fix. :/

Hi these our are HTC HD7 SPecs

OS: 7.10.8107

Firmware:2250.21.51101.707

Used to be dev unlocked + interop lock by ansar's guide now

My phone locked itself out of the blue and the only advice i was given was to :

1)Get DFT rom on it

2)Find and flash a stock official rom dating back to nodo (WHich i can't find)

Im not very good with tech and hacks so can someone who is kind enough to instruct me on how to flash a DFT rom on my phone please

I don't know what SPL or if my phone has spl etc.

I don't even understand the requirements :

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Before doing any operations be sure you have battery level more than 50%!

Sometimes in SPL mode WP7F devices DO NOT charge. You may got a cold brick if it power down during SPL or RADIO update!

2. Stock RUU ROMs have two NBH inside, SPL_Signed and RUU_Signed.

So it's not possible directly flash stock ROM, you need extract files and remove SPL_Signed.nbh at least.

3. Rememeber if you have HSPL and you flashing stock RUU_Signed.nbh you lost HSPL!

4. Supported OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.

maybe it looks not good for his eyes but at least i think this thread is not that looks insincere or worthless...

anyway, guide is done : [HOWTO] Change ICS App Switcher to Windows Phone 7 Style

sorry but i think.. to make this mod, i need actual device to get proper layout.

(i have 2 devices but these are all wvga..:o)

but all things are explained in above guide. :D you can make your own easily.

same to default app switcher's landscape mode. (swipe up or down)

frankly, making this mod for AOKP rom is difficult for another reason...:o

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] evilisto:
yes. this mod is based on WEBAOKP mod by brucekey. so basically same to that except these things :

- thumbnail : higher resolution, bigger, proper ratio(to have full screen view without distort)

- remove app icon and fading edge.

- background color

- adjust landscape layout to make look better.

i did some trial and error to get current layout. and i think the result is far more similar to wp7 than original WEBAOKP mod. regardless of personal taste..

but if it looks nearly the same as original one so you can barely find any difference, i'm sorry about that.
