The phrase "lipstick on a pig" is more commonly referenced to Sense for Windows Mobile 6.5 (a la HTC HD2).

Rather, most would argue that Sense for Android is more like lipstick on an already good looking woman. She might look nicer to some while others prefer the plain look.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
Sense is regarded as one of the better skins being used at the moment. If not the best.

You should go out and play in the street. Might get some more productive "ish" done out there. ;)]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/

You are like that depressing ass kid at the party that brings everyone down ... people trying to have a good time and you are all like, "blaaaah blaaah blaaah my wife left me I am forever miserable lemme remind you all about how sour I am blaaaah blaaaaaah blaaaaaaah."

I don't consider Android, WinMo etc a pig, nor do I consider Sense to be lipstick.

Because to the general populace, iTunes is an easy to use program that does what they want it to. Besides, to them, exporting their media collection must sound almost impossible. ]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
I must admit I thought that too, not sure about Android but on my HD2 you just need to drag-drop files onto the phone and they appear on your music library. No need for ANY software!]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
On top of all that you pointed out (if people have spent their hard earned money in iTunes, how hard do you think it will be to get them to leave it?), DoubleTwist still remains the best option (IMO) for users that insist on syncing with iTunes.

I swear though people, the sooner you can get away from that windows resource hog, the better.

Please tell me this isn't your actual music collection!]]>Aug 4th 2010 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
Haters pick on any software with an Apple logo and try to pick up some other piece of software that is obviously so much better but iTunes is the only software with a store + syncing + backups + encoding. Quicktime is the only media player I know of that allows you to do quick editing. I use it all the time to edit porn movies.

You get a movie with like 5-6 scenes and it wastes 700MB-1GB of space. If I need one scene, with Quicktime, I literally scrub to the in-point and use the frame stepping (try frame stepping in VLC or WMP), hit 'i', scrub to the out-point, hit 'o', command-x/ctrl-x, and save as self contained - you don't even have to re-encode the movie (which would be required in the likes of Movie Maker, iMovie etc).

If I have a bunch of audio files to convert, I select them in itunes, right-click and convert to AAC or MP3.

Bash the apps all you want but I personally rely on these features and no other apps in these categories come close.

Sure the Windows versions aren't as good as the Mac versions but so what? Why should one company make products well to give supporters of their competition a better experience? The competition doesn't do it in return.]]>Aug 4th 2010 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/Aug 3rd 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
If Palm had been smarter and/or not so lazy, they would have done the same, instead of being a bunch of idiots and deliberately playing a game of cat and mouse where the only real loser was the Pre owner who had to wait for Palm to "win" before they could synch up their devices.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
Next move by Apple:

NEW iTunes Update version..... Changes the way that iTunes stores your music library to make it faster, better and more fantastic for users. Side effect, may break your Android sync.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
Don't be stupid. Palm were being idiots by identifying the Pre as an iPhone to iTunes, and Apple had every right to bust them for doing that. What HTC is doing is doing it RIGHT. The iTunes db is just an XML file, all you have to do is write software to access and parse it. Easy.

Palm could have done that and everything would have been fine, but nooooooooo. Rubenstein's ego was too big for that.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/
Remember Rubenstein the Ex Apple employee never touched an iPhone in his life, give him a break lol.

Apple will not stop those who want to access the xml iTunes file, Palm was just idiots for not doing so.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/Aug 3rd 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/Aug 3rd 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-sync-3-0-for-wildfire-hands-on-itunes-sync-tested-video/

Select playlists (or everything) and set it to sync whenever the drive is mounted. This plus something like DoubleTwist on the phone makes a pretty good syncing system.
