[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] @rbiter:
Dude, is your comprehension ****ed up? I also knew that USB host was to be included in the phone. Sad to say that Google lied to us and totally messed up the freedom of 16gb+an option.

Facebook, instagram, Google+, Google music are very relevant to the topic. All cloud and/or social services. Did you not read the uproar about in stage am and Facebook today? Using your public and private data for profit at your expense? And then the fact that loaded music to Google may be spit back at lower quality. Funny how Google spins it at higher quality. Still 1999 syndrome. Mp3's are still the mainstream file of choice? Seriously? Let's not go into the fact you can get music and apps for less than a dollar and people don't want to pay that. Pipedream for people who want minimum CD quality music. Technology is supposed to better. Not worse.

And since when I am forced to use my computer? I have many options available at my disposal and I like using all of them. Using my onkyo app on my phone to stream directly from ssd is most preferable, but it not most convenient at times. That is why I use all 3 and I have a 4th I use occasionally when need arises.

Wtf do I need to carry a WiFi HDD in my pocket for? I carry all my extraneous accessories and go grab it when I need them. USB Host has saved me and some coworkers headaches from building managers, possible a couple million dollar contracts, not to mention some miscellaneous IT services for my friends.

I have to use Google music for personal enjoyment. Feel robbed about Google's other big misrepresentation of their service.

And due each person usage varies. As you seem to like carrying a bunch of bulky devices, not to mention buying accessories to accommodate Google's lies and misrepresentations, I on the other hand want to carry less and use the accessories I already have, not to mention I am a firm believer in open source and universal and being green. Trust me when I say I bleed universal. And the green. My scenario is 3 phones, a pager and a big ass PDA so the general public doesn't have to take the stairs. And I mean that physically and spiritually. Making my life easier to manage makes your life easier. Do you think I want to carry CD players and WiFi drives? Especially when I have UNIVERSAL tools available, already bought an paid for? I have all the right to complain when Google lied to us about more than one thing, changed a couple other things up in the phone that made my accessories useless and the new features useless because there are no new accessories or hardware to take advantage it. I fully expected a phone with 16gb and USB host mode. Even if host gets up and running with external that will be a huge inconvenience as I will have to carry that and get a bigger pouch for my necessities.

I don't know about you but I embrace and appreciate many technologies. What I see from people everyday at work and then basically come here and hear what I see I wanna shut the stuff down and make everybody take stairs because you really just don't see it. I am a tech geek by day and night, but I do not like adapting to accumulating limitations imposed on my smart phone experience lately. The cloud is useless for most people. And companies are fixing to take advantage of digital social ness and profit from it. In more bad ways than good.

Anyways, I needd USB host the **** for many things. And when I don't have it I have to erase a lot of ****. Soon I will find out much can be recovered if it synchronized my stuff properly. On top of that, there are few phones that meet my needs and specific wants. All the android OEM's are scared to make a stock android experience and let the hardware do the talking. HTC needs to beat beats down and get back to making phones without sense. Moto. I don't know what the **** Google is doing with them. Motorola needs to start catering back to the gsm market where most of the world is instead of gagging on Verizon's check mark. Samsung is too scared to get rid of the terrible copycat hardware and overlay they call touchwiz, the worst offender being the navigation buttons. They need to do software nav and get rid of the really terrible touch wiz crap and do it in a way the badass devs have some elbow room to do what they need and want to improve samsumg mess. Lg just needs to call it quits if they're not going to update their phones. Asus is too expensive and limited at this point. And Sony Sony Sony. They need to stop trying so hard and get back to the basics. They do that and put out some stock android phones and help the devs more and they could make Samsung look like it was all just a bad dream.

Got me ranting instead of complaining. Anyways later. Have fun with WiFi HDD, lies limitations and most of all grabbing your ankles. fixing to buy a real manly phone. :p

I voided my warranty.
