Well you've just completely failed to recognize that this is an entry product in a new market. If you seriously don't think we're all going to be using small tablets over PCs in ten years then I guess you don't know the computer industry. In 10 years you're going to be able to sit these things beside your monitors and peripherals and just use it like an ordinary PC, then take it along with you to school, work, meetings, on a bus, flight, etc.

I'm talking multicompany there not just Apple.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Uhmmmmmmm.

1. Apple did not INVENT the tablet market, Microsoft did. Ten years ago.

2. For some reason, Apple and every Mac-fanboy, fails to understand the idea of releasing a new product without flaws and mistakes. That's why companies release alphas and betas. Get it right the first time. Otherwise you're taking advantage of your fanbase.

3. Apple knows what the people want. They have learned it from the iPhone and their Mac computer sales. They know that a lot of people use Flash. Yet, they release it, assuming that it will be gone in 3 years because of HTML5, even though they release something 3 years before it's gone. They know a lot of people use MMS, copy and paste, and want to install their own apps, yet they continue to release products that look nice but fail to capture everyone's needs. You can say that it's not in their best interest to capture EVERYone's needs, but if the technology is there, why wouldn't you? Based on that, you're stuck with a company that builds on novelty. There will come a point at which people will say, why the f*ck did I buy this? And search this forum and you'll find plenty of people saying that. Luckily, Apple has enough clueless hippies and yuppies in their fanbase, that there's money to be made, but there was a great story on Nintendo and their "Wii Surprise". The Wii is innovative, compelling, and a fun system. But a story was published within the last year of the Nintendo president being upset that developers weren't interested in developing Wii games. Of course not!!!! It's a novelty system. You can't expect to release a 480i system in a 1080p race. It's like a race between 3 cars: a Ferrari, a Porsche, and a VW Beetle when they first came out. Yeah, they'll all last. Yeah, the novelty of the Beetle was soooooo cool when it first arrives. But after a little bit of time, WHO GIVES A SH*T?

Now look at Microsoft. They are frequently behind on innovation, but they wait to see what the market does, then they invest and change. It happened with Windows 7 and it happened with Windows Phone. Wait and see, then invest. It's good for all the investors. And it's not like Microsoft will ever fail as a business, because they have the business-field that pays their salaries for the most part. It's smarter. If you didn't have a company like Apple that lies about their financials and lies in advertising, you'd have a company that would sink as fast as the novelty wears out. Unfortunately for MS fanboys like me, there's a trend to think that buying Apple is cool. Little do people know, it actually makes people like me respect your viewpoint about technology less. You're a sheep. How can anyone respect a sheep?

Mac. It just works. Yeah, well MS just works too if you're not a complete moron.
[Off-topic] Macmee:
NO REALLY?!?!?!?!?!!! The iPad is Apples entry product in a new market. Microsoft invented the market and didn't do anything with it. Probably because they realized Windows was going to be too heavy an OS for tablets of tomorrow.

You're a moron. The last computer I bought was an Acer core 2 quad Q8800 with Windows 7. I love Windows 7. Surprisingly enough, people can like Apple products without being complete and utter fanboys?!

Your argument is flawed. If it wasn't for the iPhone we would not of seen the progression in the phone market like we did. We would not have Android and stupendous multitouch devices like the nexus one. We would still have Windows Mobile, though. Crappy and useless Windows Mobile.

I'll stop you there:

1. Windows Vista was BETA software developed on BETA software. It was awful. It's going to go down as one of the biggest software mistakes of the century.

2. Windows Mobile is disgustingly behind other platforms. There's no good application support (or no good market app) like the competition, multi touch support still sucks, the user interface is hurting. It's stuck in the past.

3. The xbox has a 51% fail rate.

Yeah Microsoft is filled with innovation! I love Windows 7. Basically everything else from Microsoft just sucks. Oh and I'm just as willing to insult Apple too if you're going to accuse me of being some sort of fanboy again.

You've just called millions of people morons.
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
Not until the Atom and recent fast enough ARM processors did you have the ability to make an attractive, small form consumer tablet that would be good for mainsteam as an internet/media/entertainment device. They had some nice UMPCs but those are niche devices. MS wasn't going to spend time enhancing their OS's touch friendliness just to satisfy this super small market. It's not good business sense.

You are both correct. Apple's great marketing skills helped demonstrate to the mass market what is already out there in the smartphone industry. They showed what cool people should be able to do with their phone. And they did it in a much easier to use device perfect for the technology challenged average joes/janes. And with their ads and fanboy army giving me the message that when its time to replace my Razr, I need this because my Apple fanboy friends just love everything Apple and they won't think I am cool unless I own one too...so I'm going to buy one because I am a follower who doesn't like independent thought and individuality and that's how I roll. :D

I do have to give credit to Apple with the App Store. They hit a homerun with that one. The distribution model for phone apps did not exist outside a handful of mobile software websites and going to the individual developer's websites. The carriers didn't push it as much as they should have. Jamster and these other TV wallpaper/ringtone/game download ads did a better job in convincing people to customize and expand their phones than the carriers did. You can't walk into the mom and pop cellphone store where you got your phone at and browse for apps you might be interested in. It just wasn't there and the App Store solved it. But then again this idea isn't much different than buying an iPod and you get iTunes where you can download the music you buy directly onto your device.
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
Now Back to the iPad...

The iPad is a cool idea. But I believe it'll be bumped off pretty quick once Microsoft releases a new more touch friendly tablet version of Windows 7. Or one of these new Linux distributions like Moblin/Jolicloud/Android have a tablet version. Even if these OSes are still heavily dependent on a stylist, that's fine. Having a stylist to work on a 10" device isn't awkward. Don't you guys remember...back in the days...pen and paper?? So a full OS tablet (not an enlarged iPhone OS) would be great and for some people would be a total desktop replacement. Also throw in a nice 160GB+ 1.8" HDD so we can store like 160GB in our tablet computer because 16GB isn't enough. Heck, I might as well ask that we have all OS and programs boot up and run off a 8GB flash chip and still have the HDD for media/documents/extra.

In summary, the iPad is just going to be another gimicky gadget lost between a phone and a full computer. It might help to pick up chicks. But still not as good as puppy, so no bonus points there.

We also have to remember of all these net appliances popping up around us. A refrigerator with a monitor on it so you can write notes on it that will text/twitter the family. We'll have digital answer machine replacements sitting on our kitchen counters where you can see your speech-to-text voicemails across all you phone numbers, check and reply to e-mails, update you status, etc. A TV that you can run widgets to watch YouTube or check Facebook. All it needs is wireless keyboard and you can be a couch interneter.

Tablets weren't selling because they were too expensive and the cloud computing that was necessary to make them (and netbooks) work. Saying that Microsoft didn't do anything with them to make them successful is like saying Microsoft should have invented YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, mobile games, etc etc in order to make them desirable.

Yes, but this shows your true narcissism. I wasn't referring to just you.

Keep in mind, Apple did not invent multitouch. Actually MS Surface came out the same year as the iPhone and was worked on much longer. Not to mention, I did excellent on Windows Mobile. I love using a stylus and I'm going to be pissed without one. I love having file structure and I love having a phone that was close to a pocket-sized PC.

1. I've always been confused about the Vista hatred. I liked it. Yeah, I had to wait for drivers, but I liked it better than XP. I wish I could upgrade at work from XP and I installed Vista on my PCs as soon as I was able to.

2. No good application support? I'm not sure what you mean by this. Microsofts app store is terrible, OPN market is better, but I will never pay for apps again. I also like my resistive touch screens. I've used multitouch phones and I understand what the purpose is, I just don't need it. I use my phone like a computer.

3.I had the 3-rings of death about 3 times I think. If I had it 3 more times outside of the warranty, I'd buy an xbox 3 more times. It's the best system out there. But you're right about not beta testing this one.

Unfortunately, you're the EU that doesn't fill Microsoft's pockets. Business users, companies, IT does. And Windows Mobile and most of what Microsoft makes is designed for that.

Correct. I did the same thing when Bush was re-elected.

Then you're a case of someone that really needs to check out all the cooler tablets coming out...
[Off-topic] bloqhead:
Haha. It's funny because I'm a Mac user myself and even I agree with you. It's basically an oversize iPod Touch. It's one thing if the device could multitask and do things that a tablet PC can do, but it can't. I never saw the point to this device when it was released and before that.

Also, you are dead on about on-screen keyboard with a device this large. On-screen keyboards aren't bad on small devices where you can wrap your hands around and use your thumbs, but on something this large, you can't honestly tell me you can type in comfort and not hunt and peck the entire time.

I love my Mac but sometimes Steve baffles me with the decisions he makes.

Gee, 18 pages of bashing the poor thing! :)

Why does everyone compare it with netbooks though? If I wanted to buy it, I'd use it primarily for reading books, and it's much better than those silly readers. At least it allows you to browse the internet or read online magazines. In addition to a color display, of course.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Kindle color is coming this year and the screen is much better for the eyes.

Plus, why not just read on a netbook, that way you can also browse the internet, read online magazines, check email, Facebook, and everything else the iPad can't do.

hi all good people,

I would like to have all my "People" contacts details from phone on quick links. Is it possible to do it and have them all instead of my favourite 15.

I've searched on forum but couldn't find anything. I'm sure that someone already asked that but I just can't find the answer.

Thank you
[HD2 General] Archer:
Can you explain what you mean a little more?

It sounds like you're simply trying to a contact as a quicklink, but I doubt that because if you've added programs then you already know how to do this.
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
You want ALL your phone contacts on your home page quick links? or People quick links?

I don't think that's possible. It's called favourites for a reason!
[HD2 General] jaqubek:
yes that's what I want, have all phone contacts on home page htc sense quick links
[HD2 General] Archer:
Go to add a quicklink, scroll down the programs list and find the one called "People". It's the "All People" page from the people tab.
[HD2 General] jaqubek:
And I still got my favourite 15. I dont want to add People (favourite) icon on today screen, I just want to change and everytime when I tap on Today I would like to open my all contacts list (is a little bit more in my contacts than 15)

I think MrMagicMushroom was right, It's called favourites for a reason

If somebody have a example or a link, it would be great!

(I develop in C#).

why dont you use facebook default protocol of updating status via text msgs. You just need to mimick the layout and some codes would do imho.

Well.

Alls you need to do is send a text message from your phone to AIM/Facebook/Twitter and it will update your status message.

So's I assume you might want to just do that.

Cyclone can help you code in c# probly if u asked him. I am working on that in Mortscript.

CMail.exe and export studio. I can find a link here at xda but must rest now.

Sorry for that noob question but I just wanna know if I can use this phone in my country (turkey/bulgaria) if I purchase it. I am not sure since google says "Sorry, the Nexus One phne is not available in your country".

P.S: By the way, I wanna ask owners;

- I have a HTC Touch HD and I really dont like its touchscreen, you need to apply pressure to screen, instead of just touching. How it feels on nexus one?

- Sound output: Sound quality of HTC HD is not good (I have tried with many headphones), how is nexus's output quality?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
I can't answer the first question, however I can say that the Nexus has a capacative touchscreen rather than resistive (so you don't need to press hard, or really, at all) and that the sound output sounds just the same as any MP3 player to me, though I suppose I don't have the finest hearing in the world ;)
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
dunno about being able to use it over there...

but the screen is sensitive enough that ive never been frustrated with it by having to slam my fingers on it or anything... small, light, quick touches are all recognized on my phone...

as for the audio quality, on a 1-10 scale id give it about a 6 or 7... theres definite white noise produced by the device and the bass is mediocre... it gets the job done though, i use it as my primary media player on a daily basis without gripe... better than lugging a phone and ipod around everywhere
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
HTC touch HD uses a different touchscreen technology (resistive) than new phones (capacitive). The nexus ones screen sensitivity is the same as an iphone/ipod touch.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Hey guys,

A few people contacted me recently to ask me if I could work on new Lg devices (namely gm730/gm750) to cook custom roms and/or adapt my lg kitchen. As you may imagine, working on new devices is not an easy thing, especially when you don't own one :) . It's also very time consuming and that's a resource that I really tend to lack these days.

Anyways, it's not my first experience in "blind cooking", so if enough people are interested, I'll do what I can to help you.

But of course, I need people who are not afraid of bricking their device (it's not likely to happen, but we never know, and this time, I can't test myself) to experiment a few things. I'll also need answers to a few questions, so that I understand what can be done exactly.

My plans are to work on the experimental part and publish a light rom if possible (it seems that many people would like a device crapware free ;)). When (/if) it's done, I'll upgrade the kitchen and release it so that you can all cook roms.

FAQ:

see post 2
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
FAQ:

* What is the flash procedure ? Does it use an emergency mode ? Can it flash dz files ?

Homero2 says that lgmdp seems to work (although he didn't manage to cook a rom that can boot).

* Are GM730/GM730e/GM730f roms compatible ? If no, does it brick the device, or does it simply refuse to flash the file ?

* What about GM735 ?

* And GM750 ?

GM750 and GM730 are not totally the same, as the GM750 has a flashlight (which means that at least 1 driver should be different). I think an unified rom won't be possible.

* Can I flash a WM6.5 GM730 rom (officially named v20) on any GM730(e/f) ?

As far as I know, when you flash a gm730 wm6.5 rom, you can't go back to wm6.1 rom. Don't know why though.

* Anything else I need to know ?

I have a GM730f from Telstra in Australia

Hi Spocky,

I have a GM730f from Telstra here in Australia - I originally purchased via ebay as I was taken with the form factor and the microUSB and I'm a fan of WM not iPhones.

I have already created 4 x default RAW files from the device as per itsutils and I'm more than happy to help :):)

I am currently in discussion with LG locally about the WM 6.5 upgrade - although it appears that this is being provided by LG from their own AU website, this would appear to have been "delayed" by needing "approval" from Telstra (carrier) before release. Or at least that's what I have been told 2 weeks ago - even though I have already recieved and email from LG advising me that it was ready.....

I have expressed some *dis-satisfaction* with LG's upgrade process and I'm questioning why it could not simply be in the form of a simplt download ROM Update, run locally across existing ActiveSync connection - we'll see what get's released?

See - "lg gm730f 6.5 techagility" in google for my results so far

Any more news and I'll post here?

Cheers,

Dave
