As the article says. I think it looks really ugly with those extra buttons. ]]>May 27th 2010 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/

Samsung, although they make rather disappointing phones have a great codec support.

Didn't you JUST see the article about the behold II users threatening a lawsuit!? Samsung made a god damn video saying the phone would get an eclair update and they then took the video offline and claimed they never made it in the first place and the phone will never get an update. They are bastards man, and they did the SAME thing with the i8910...I am warning you now, do NOT get a Samsung smartphone.]]>May 27th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/

Apple and RIM are the primary losers, largely because they are hardware makers who supply the OS as an afterthought. Neither will license their OS just to gain share because they don't want to cannibalize their sales. Think about it: HTC could make a better BlackBerry clone than RIM makes a BB, and a sweeter iPhone clone than an original Apple iPhone. Both will end up on the wayside, with RIM possibly keeping more market share because of its reach into the corporate sphere. ]]>May 27th 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/
Well since hp, Dell and Acer all use the same company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanta_Computer) to manufacture their mobile devices it probably won't matter too much.

Perhaps you have never heard of Blackberry connect for Palm, Symbian, or Windows Mobile? http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/enabled/os.jsp#tab_tab_windows Now it has never really gone anywhere and they haven't come out with an iPhone or Android client but it does show they are willing to license the technology.]]>May 27th 2010 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/May 27th 2010 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acer-android-powered-stream-gets-official-gets-handled-lives-u/
