Kindle Fire HD vs Nexus 7

Clearly Nexus 7 wins for almost all of us. Still Kindle Fire HD has some things like stereo speakers, better WiFi and HDMI out that the nexus doesn't. The nexus has Jellybean, and hey, it is a Nexus. But then it is Asus and I have had bad experiences with another Asus Tab. They aren't great with customer support and they have issues with product quality. On the other hand, it is a full on power hammer packaged as a unassuming 7" tab, while Amazon's tab can be accurately described as a trojan horse sent to your household to destroy any sense of balance in your budget - with those constant ads and marketing it is merely a tool to make you buy more from Amazon and I don't like that one bit. Especially with Amazon's appalling app selection.

However, that said, with the ability to HAVE it all (Nexus 7) and a great UI, do you really think people will choose the Marketing campaign (where you have to pay $15 to opt-out of said ads!) instead of a "device" which you can do what you want to without distractions of ads? I think Amazon did not step up to the bar set by Nexus 7. But I guess I am wrong and I am just not in the demographic that they are aiming at.. Nevertheless, Google's Nexus 7 also has compelling tie-ins to "entertainment" options, not as convenient as Amazon perhaps... Again, I ain't in that demographic so I dunno.

Commence the scuffle! :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Btw,

Screw apple and its hypocrisy. They said the 3.5 inch screen is perfect and mocked the large screen droids. Now all they can do is copy android. Without android, they wouldn't have had the notification panel, and now the screen size. Samsung or HTC should have patented the 4 inch or 3.8 inch form factor.

All apple did in the last 2 gens is play catch up with android and in some cases bring features no one cares (siri, really? It is just a novelty, iMessage apparently was a faliure and I dislike their iCloud... dropbox is way better for my needs and iCloud is basically not there yet) Facebook integration is basically android catch up and I anyway want as little Facebook as possible on my phone.

They didn't improve the basic OS interface since day 1. That would be okay if it was the best interface. But both android and windows phone 7 proved otherwise!

I don't care. The worse apple's updates are the better for the droids.

One small step backward for Apple, one giant leap forward for the Droid-kind!!! :);)

Lulz, Steve Jobs's death brought upon the death of Apple's innovation. I find it especially funny whenever Apple calls something revolutionary and I find that android phones had that festure for months. It just makes me laugh for hours whenever I read something like that.

Apple may have better updates, but that's pretty much it.

HTC and Samsung are prepping to sue Apple for the 4G LTE in the new iPhone 5, so the mobile news should start to get interesting soon. XD

I'm holding off until the note2. Don't want a nexus Verizon will still J*w me out of updates
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
So funny that the Sprint bersion of the GNex already got their JB update. Way to screw things up big time Verizon. I'm just hoping the Note 2 doesn't look the way it was leaked with Verizon's logo embedded on the home button. If it looks the same, then Verizon really f***ed up at that point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
That logo on the button looked fake.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah note2 looks nice, but i think im gonna grab the htc phablet when it launches instead

id like another samsung phone, but not buying it for myself i dont think
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tnez:
Debating between the two myself. Rumor on the interwebz is that the note 2 will be locked down like the S3 (no surprise there).....so right now leaning more towards the HTC. Unless it doesn't have a SD card slot and/or a weak non removable battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
I'd consider the rumored Incredible X, but only if the body is about the same size as the SIII, which I think they could do if they use a nice narrow bezel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Citizen_Snips:
I came here on a complety unrelated topic, but oh my god, you know shipyard pumpkinhead. Probably one of my favorite beers, ever. I drink a lot of Belgium ale, but this beer is amazing. Applehead is pretty good too, but this takes the cake... I'm currently stockpiling it, actually. Bought 2 cases so far. Trying to save up enough to last me until next brewing season. I didn't get enough last year, ran out a few months early. :(

Anyways. I am a total HTC nub and I have a friend who has a Dinc2. He wants to root it, but is still unsure. He asked me for help because I've rooted every droid I've ever had. (X/X2/Stratosphere/Nexus)

All this talk of s-off and s-on is kind of (really) confusing me. I found guides on how to do this stuff, but I'm still not sure what some of it means. Really I just want to know if it is possible to completely return to stock to get warranty repair or the ICS update whenever it comes. All the rest for rooting & flashing...the fun stuff, I SHOULD be able to figure out on my own...thanks

Edit: Hoegaarden!! Another good one too hahahaha. Nice guys. What else do you like? Belgium/Wheat ale is the shiznit if you ask me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
A off uncomplicates things, allows you to flash radios and also kernels easier, plus if you do it the other way (HTC dev unlock) you are guaranteed to void your warranty, if you downgrade and s off you can revert to full s on and stock and know one will ever know you were rooted. Trust me go for the s off just make sure and flash the 312 radio after it or you will have bootloops running sense roms .

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
The iPad mini is a serious disappointment to be honest. It has lower specs than the Nexus 7 and I'm pretty sure Apple's gonna make it more expensive than the Nexus 7 too. Fail made by Apple.

Oh yeah, another iPad in 6 months? Apple must be desperate to make a new iPad so soon.…
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
I hate apple to my guts now. When Jobs was alive, he said he will never make a mini iPad or a bigger iPhone mocking the Androids for being tooo big and unwieldy and saying 10 inch tab is ideal! Now all that Apple can do is copy ideas from Android. And in return they sue Android makers like Samsung for, guess what, copying from them apparently. And in all this, THEY HAVE NOT changed the fubared GUI! Is that all that they think you should be able to do on a 10 or even 7.9 inch device? Have they never seen and Android and realized how lame their UI is?

Idiot Apple, I hope they go down soon. No company whose products are as uninspired as Apple should lead the market. Their new Nano sucks too.. Great! They got back video play back feature that existed in 4th gen nano I had and still lost out on stills! All Apple fans are now permitted to hump Apple's leg... :mad:

And what pisses me off is people are dumb enough to waste money on such mediocre products. At least give WP7/8 a shot, if you aren't into customization of Android and want a simple yet powerful OS.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

They just wanted to put a Lightning connector on the iPad so they don't miss out on milking their customers for dongles. And you know what? Some idiots with perfectly working iPad 3 will buy the iPad 4... Cause they have nothing better to do than NOT use their brain and add to the coffers of a company and kiss the companies ass... What next apple? Will you also start making phones every month like HTC/Sammy etc? Not that I like it.. I hate that on the Android world too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
I completely agree and am stupefied that so many apple fans buy the "new" products over and over for such small incremental upgrades. Honestly, the iPad mini is overpriced (of course) and from the pictures I saw, I don't think it will fit in one hand very well for a lot of people.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I'm gonna be honest. I actually like the new iPod touch since it's actually a big jump from the previous iPod touch. The nano is disappointing to be honest.

Plus, Apple lost the rubber band patent in the US... so the Sammy v Apple trial might end up with a different result. I am hoping it does change because Apple is just being full of it.

Why I wouldn't try out Windows 7/8 phones is because I don't like the lack of applications (both Android and iOS have a myriad of apps). Besides, having a Windows based PC is already bad enough. I just tried out Windows 8 and sure it's really smooth, it just didn't have the things I liked about Google and Apple's platform
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
When I blame apple, I don't blame the devs that made that a wonderful ecosystem. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch and I do like it, given its limitations w.r.t. an Android in terms of customizability. I do sincerely miss that. I wonder if apple will ever come up with something cool like widgets on an android! And I love the build quality and the look of the device. I admit, before I purchased my first Droid (the Droid X2) I was an Apple fan. I love the iBooks and seriously there is NO app on the Droid that can match it in terms of typography, the wonderful and full featured Dictionary inbuilt into it and just the elegant UI. All I am saying is they just totally lost steam and control after Steve died and it sort of made me wonder if Steve was really that critical in Apple. Apparently he was. I have been reading his biography and I realize what a complex guy he was. It is a gripping read... He is a dude that has so many conflicting thoughts throughout his life and very finicky mentality...

But that aside, I hate Apple in its current state. I am sure I may have had better opinions if he was still in charge, but sadly he didn't get his cancer treated right away due to his insistence that his weird diet will take care of it. And now he is gone. I have mixed feelings, on the one side he built a helluva company and I had an attention for detail and elegance and simplicity in design on the other hand Apple seems to have lost that design philosophy and simplicity and everything that he stood for. Except for the misplaced vengeance against Android. That they carried forward from him...

Whatever, I'll some up this rant with the following:

MY DREAM device: A Nexus Droid made by Nokia. :D MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!! >.< Droid Lumia!!! Drooooooooooooooolllll haha :angel:

EDIT: After re-reading this, I thought... gosh! can anyone be more rambling than I!? :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
LOL! But I agree that I liked Apple back when Jobs was in charge. About a year and a half ago, I actually wanted ti get the iPhone instead of the Droid. But now.... no, I think I'll pass on an iPhone and play with the iPod touch instead.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Tl;dr: Apple sucks, new iPad is dumb.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Yeah, the problem with Apple is their products are uninspiring nowadays. Just slap on the same old OS on different devices. Sheesh, I would expect the software engineers to at least try to improve the GUI but for some reason they chose to ignore the fact that they are being ridiculous with the way they are making use of the screen real estate. Did you have a chance to look at how the notification shade of iOS is on iPad? It is a tiny drawer from the top. It looks down right silly! The drawer is not as wide as the screen which is sorta good as that would just reinforce the fact that the iPad is a supersized iPhone! Lol. The iTouch 5 is a upgrade from 4 as they waited 2 years since the last release!!! Unbelievable that a product was relevant for 2 fricking years nowadays!!! I have the iPod Touch 4 running iOS 6. Recently when I screwed my Droid's screen I had to "live" with the iDevice as a make shift phone... I hated it all the while as I couldn't do soooo many things in 1 move that I could on the Droid, via toggles in the notifications, widgets on home screen AND notifications and all that! Who cares of the app difference now? It is a non issue as most major apps and games are on both devices. Now, the iOS ecosystem has no major leg up Android and apparently as per latest Pew Research statistics, the market share of iPad is around 50%! Great! Androids and the rest making their way I guess...

Thanks for summarizing my post! ;)

Apple is dying. Nuff said. XD
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I hate Apple too. I love my 4th gen iPod though I've had that since my freshman year of college (my ONLY year lol) but if Apple goes down what will happen to android? I think the checks and balances between the companies is what makes better products. Who else competes with android? Black berry? Pssssshhhhh. Win No phones? Yeah right
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
EXCEPT there are no checks and balances here... Apple keeps suing android for innovating, and in return copies android. It is like we have a plagiarist who is also a bully - a leech on society. There is no checks and balances here. At this point, there is nothing that Google can and should learn from Apple as they decided to stop innovating since about iOS 4 I think (iOS 5 brought a gimmicky Siri and copied android's notification mechanism and iOS 6 copied Android ICS's panorama camera, etc.)

Long story short, I sincerely don't mind Apple going down. I believe MS and Android are bringing more to the table with each update rather than trying to make another product to make money out of. And in case of Google, it doesn't monetize from Android other than licensing its Play Store and Google apps on certified devices.. So, there you have it.
