Nah, you are not correct to state that Android 2.0/2.1 is another such incident. Android 2.1 was a minor bug fix and was released shortly after 2.0. Google was very inconsistent with their naming conventions and update cycle initially but at any rate since 2.1 was a bug fix (as per wiki) it makes sense to call it the same thing as 2.0 (i.e. Eclair). However, 4.2 is more than a minor update to 4.1. Many components like the Camera and the keyboard went through a major update and then other things... So, it is a first for Google to name a new revision of Android the same as the previous revision. Anyway, what's in a name? We are waiting on Key Lime Pie...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I'll see your wiki and raise you a yahoo answer! :rolleyes:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100422190407AA3OOTx

Live wallpapers, speech-to-text, 3d Gallery, in browser pinch to zoom, new launcher, and major performance increases makes the 2.0-2.1 update at least as big as the 4.1-4.2 update to me. Those are key features even now.

Who wants key lime pie anyways? I'm waiting for lemon meringue pie. :cool: lol

Ha thanks, I just got out of work and thought "damn I made alot of money tonight I want that nexus" ran to Walmart 5 minutes before they closed and nabbed one. I'm living it so far but wait till I unlock its potential. Its so weird going back and forth from this to my phone, it just seems like its slow motion haha.

Oh BTW, the PJ's are fleece, I'm a little under the weather at the moment.

O.o it's been a while since I heard Walmart having a closing time. Nowadays, it's all 24/7! Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Yes in the summer its open 24/7 but this being Maine and all....all the tourists leave for the winter so its not worth staying open.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
Surprisingly, the Wal-Mart near me closes at midnight. I have to drive an extra 10-15 minutes to the next one which is a 24/7 store.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
I'm too cool to go to Walmart... :p Anyway, there aren't any walmart conveniently near by... there are several Targets closer though and that's where I go occasionally...

I used to go to Mrs. Smith's discount electronics depot until she was put out of business by Walmart. ;)

We used to go to HalTed before there was Fry's. Actually, that was before there were computers. Ha!

Ok, I was just a kid and went with my dad, but still...

-CM7 on DInc2

Edit-

Well, what do you know!

http://www.halted.com/

Very different from back then, but still kicking.

Edit2-

It was actually Haltek I was thinking of. This link has a great write-up about the place. Scroll down to Haltek.

http://www.bluefeathertech.net/technoid/surplusmemorial.html

I remember the shop from the mid 70s. We bought a few dozen AA NiCad batteries, cleaned them up and nursed them back to health for our family's toys and whatnot.

Well, that's the news from Lake Woebegone...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
I tend to avoid WalMart also. Target is a much better alternative, and Ikea also has lots of handy hosuehold-type stuff.

As for Fry's, they don't have any stores in Florida (where I lived for about 15 years), so I only had stories of its greatness to go by. When I finally got out to California late last year, I was stoked, as there was a store less than 10 minutes away from my new house. However, I must say that the store has definitely not lived up to the hype. Every time I go in there, I can never find exactly what I'm looking for. It's great that they stock 8,000 copies of Twilight on Blu-Ray, but why not stock more than 3 kinds of internal HDD? There are times when I'm looking for something like a new video card. Wonderful, there are maybe 10 left in stock to pick from. Too bad I don't need a Canon printer, because they have about 2 million of those, as the Canon rep stalking me around the store reminds me every 6.5 minutes. How about a new PC case? Splendid, they have about 50 nice models on display. Try to find one in a box, and you get this reply "Sorry, we only have the floor model left and we can't sell it. But we do have 3.8 trillion Micro ATX plastic crap boxes on sale for $85 each!"

Sorry, had to vent. :)

Yeah, Fry's can be a bit of a disappointment, like you said. Still, it's good for a lot of other bits and pieces. For most of my specific hardware needs I rely on Newegg.

Seems it's hard to beat internet-mailorder.

I got a damn nice laptop for $380 from tiger. Comparable spec laptops were all $500+ elsewhere. It wasn't a refurb or closeout either. Newegg definitely has better everyday prices on most things though.

True, but that's because HTC isn't pushing Verizon hard enough and they're just focusing on their newer devices. I wonder why HTC's revenues aren't doing so well lately. They got the software ages ago and still no update.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I've gotten them before. I have found that most of them are phishing scams. Its best just to ignore/delete them. I replied "stop" to one of them and just started receiving more from similar email addresses for a while. After a month or 2 of ignoring them they stopped. Since then I just delete them when I get them and they are few and far between. It seems that they target a group of similar numbers in hopes that some will reply confirming that the number is active then bombard those numbers.

None of the WP7 phones got an update to WP8. Hopefully that won't happen again with WP9. I heard it was due to the more powerful hardware needed to handle the switch to the real Windows kernel.

WP7 devices did (or will soon?) get WP7.8, a minor update with some of the UI changes to WP8, and WP8 devices can run WP7 apps.
