Dear Engadget,

Will you please remove the introductory paragraph for the Entelligence articles. It is grating every time I scroll past and catch a word or two of it. Sometimes all it takes is for me to recall that it is there and I feel like I should insult the nearest living thing for pissing me off. It is pompous and pointless. I don't care about his coffee or bagels and the passion he has for these things. Also, I will judge myself if his insight into the tech world is worth a damn (many of the articles would say otherwise). I don't know if I am in the majority with my opinion, but frankly I had to say something. Now replace that bull with something more fitting. ]]>May 17th 2010 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/May 17th 2010 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/

I am not just going on someone elses say so either -- I've had two phones that are barely viewable in sunlight (Omnia 2 and Omnia HD).
Samsung's SuperAMOLED claims to solve this problem, but so far they are the only ones pushing that technology afaik. EVO is better off without OLED.

And your claim that the Android media player sucks?
Compared to what exactly? They have more format support than Apple's devices, and if you watch the demos of the YouTube HQ player, I don't see how you can think it sucks. They did a side by side comparison with the iPhone, and it blew it out of the water.

Also, your claim that "Sprint" is a con -- this is not a problem with the Evo or even Android -- this is a problem with the entire system of device \ carrier exclusivity, and it needs to stop...but I don't think it will, it will probably just get worse as technology advances. But I really don't see how Sprint is worse than AT&T.]]>May 16th 2010 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/

super is just from samsung, it couldnt go to "all phones" itll just be samsung phones, its too expensive to produce right now]]>May 16th 2010 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/1. The Evo may be using 'dying cdma' technology, but lemme point something out to you. All the major phones that are NOT on T-Mobile, AT&T in the US, are CDMA. The DROID. The Eris. The Incredible. Almost all the Blackberries.
2. It's on Android is a reason TO buy it. Not to NOT buy it.
3. Sprint. Ok dude, really. The ONLY carrier that already has 4G. The ONLY carrier with the best pricing. On AT&T, can you get a $69.99 a month plan that has UNLIMITED phone, text, AND data? Even if you scratch off the 4G it's STILL good.
4. Hacked together UI? What the frick man, show me a UI more good looking then HTC Sense. Reakky.
5. Does your Dell Lightning have SuperAMOLED? Didn't think so.
6. Get a life. ]]>May 16th 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/You may possibly be the biggest troll I have ever had the displeasure of encountering upon the internet.

But yeah, just to elaborate, AMOLED\OLED is still in its infancy..which is why we don't see widespread use of it in televisions or desktop \ laptop displays yet. Some mfgs have chosen to go with it anyways...for better or worse I guess. It does have some benefits, but after owning two AMOLED phones, I would have to say that I would rather have TFT. Another thing I didn't mention is that AMOLED is more succeptible to screen \ image \ pixel burn out...especially with blues. Maybe in a few years from now when the technology has been better optimized, someone could consider a phone not having it a "con" -- but seriously, right now? No way.]]>May 16th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
Uh, HSPA is based on CDMA, in the form of WCDMA. So CDMA is in fact going to live on in the form of HSPA, ironically enough.]]>May 16th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
-If CDMA is problem, I recommend T Mobile Android device.

-I like AMOLED, but HD2 show us that 4.3 TFT is awesome too. If EVO had 4.3" Super AMOLED, it would be LEGEND gadget of the Year. Anyway it is still gadget of the year(so far).

-EVO is too heavy? It is170g with 4,3" display. i-phone is 135g with 3.5" display. 35g for .8" more bigger screen. It is really good deal, if you strong enough to lift 35g more.

-Android? Nobody gonna put crappy OS,Even it is free OS. Everybody use Android because it is free and great OS.]]>May 16th 2010 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/May 16th 2010 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/May 16th 2010 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
I agree with that CDMA and GSM are great.

However, I think VOIP will be dominate mobile market in future... or more far future (Which means you only need data plan).

Am I only one who think this way?]]>May 16th 2010 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
How about all of them?

"screen isnt OLED" - so what? It's not about what technology is used, it's about how good it looks, it's fantastically large, bright and clear screen.
"so heavy it needs a kickstand" - I think you know you're being ridiculous here. The kickstand is so you can set it on a table landscape mode and watch stuff hands free. It just happens to have a large enough screen and good enough display that anyone would want to do this.
"uses android (meaning media player is the worst out of all phone OS, UI is hacked together, etc.)" - your statement just a baseless, fanboy opinion. Why don't you describe some actual features thart are sub par and compare them to some other mobile operating systems to prove your point?
"Android is just all over the damn place." - yes, because it's popular, because it's good and work well. Thank you for pointing that out."they abuse it to. Meaning they will not release,well not that fast" - fumbling over your own statement, aren't you. Who is this "they" you speak of, are they after you?

The Dash is too expensive for a glanceable device and too slow for what it is.

Actually, since I've been using a smartphone, I've been wearing a watch again. Smartphones are totally not glancable, in the way dumbphones were as you usually need to press a button and let the screen turn on to find out the time.]]>May 16th 2010 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/what kind of smartphone do you have? I can't really think of any where you don't pull it out and press a button to see the time on the lock screen. i really disagree with the article in fact. i have a laptop, an ipod touch, and a dumb phone (cheap plan). not a single screen more, and it suits me fine. the ipod touch costed as much as the dash does, and has pretty glanceable information. not entirely so, but it's a wonder what a jailbreak can do ;)]]>May 16th 2010 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/sorry, i think i misread what you said. but still, dont you have to press a button to turn the backlight on on a dumphone? it's practically the same.]]>May 16th 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/May 16th 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
If you can, I'd wait 2-4 months and get one at a heavy discount. Especially if they come out with the Dash2 with a battery for $199, the originals will be sub-$99 in a heartbeat.

I saw one of these in Vegas at the Sony Store and they are incredibly awesome. It's pretty much a geeks alarm clock. Then I noticed it was $200 and put the box back down. I agree with pretty much everyone else that thinks $100 is a better price point for something that will do nothing more than display time and current weather.]]>May 17th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/May 16th 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
Also, when people can't see past superficial things I don't think they are open-minded enough to actually receive more of the point if there is one. However, in this case, I agree that the evidence is lacking, there is no major revelation. I went into the article thinking this could be one of the better Entelligence articles I've read.]]>May 16th 2010 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/
The easiest way to tell whether it should be "... and I" or "... and me" is to take everyone else out of the list, and ask yourself whether "I" or "me" sounds correct. In this case, "just listen to me debate" sounds correct, and "just listen to I debate" doesn't.

Obviously there are grammar rules that describe it, but for me it's easier just to ask myself what sounds right. Of course, if you're not a native English speaker, or if you grew up listening to bad grammar, it doesn't work as well.]]>May 16th 2010 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/entelligence-thirty-three-screens-and-a-cloud/You use "____ and me" when you are the object of the sentence and not the subject.

I do agree with you, but ultimately the point was made in the article in a clear enough fashion to be understood. In any event, sometimes what is wrong here (in NA) may be correct in, say, England.

I'm an American living in a former British colony and in my profession, I regularly have to consult my colleagues for structure and grammar as what is correct for my American English ends up being horribly wrong for a public educated in the British system.

With that perspective, being technically correct isn't all it is cracked up to be; unless of course, a person is writing a book. And even then we can find a whole lot of butchering of the English language.]]>May 17th 2010 12:38AM
