@JS agreed, but basically, I don't need a tablet, just give me an HD2 phone hardware-wise running Android software wise.

You have to wonder if hacking this thing would lead to the end of free 3g data on e-readers, the Carriers won't tolerate network bandwidth hogs. Even if the actual percentage of those utilizing such methods will be small, it will be made a big deal in the tech and gadget circles and probably make a big enough splash to catch their attention. I can already read WSJs error laden article making a mountain out of a mole hill.

It looks like Joey from Friends got the news that it is dress like Han Solo day.

@RJMajestic I absolutely agree with your first paragraph, as for your second I don't think It will be a dedicated gaming box, not with Microsoft being a major player in this industry now, I think they would rather see an HTPC with with ability to connect to said servers.

And btw dude, spelling it "flew" was intentional. Any more questions you want to ask?

I left this same post on gizmodo's article as it became a hijacked thread about PS3 vs. Xbox360 and their comparative computing ability.

So what happens when a next gen Xbox arrives before PS4 is ready? I feel like any discussion of the PS3s lifetime will be rendered moot by the fact that the Xbox IS beginning to hit a wall, or will be soon, and that Microsoft's response will be to update it accordingly. So any advantage the PS3 will have may be rather short lived. I think the next gen consoles may be the last or second to last dedicated gaming consoles anyhow, as eventually the games will be server-side distribution. You may say when pigs fly but hey, swine flew happened.

sorry for another hijack...

and I'm currently scheming on a PS3 slim for BF. Thanks for sealing the deal Nilay. I just hope its by the first half of this coming year, as I am concurrently scheming on a Daily Edition E-reader, yay synergy!

It would be sweet if this thing made Chewbacca sounds when powered on, just sayin.

+1, but I am taking it a step farther in waiting for a netbook with USB3.0.

I love companies' and their ability to design a great product and screw up the end game. How many products do you know of that almost achieve greatness but for an intentional crippling design flaw.

Oh and Olympus? No more xD please, and just because the camera is small doesn't mean we need microSD either, just plain old SDHC or CF please. Maybe spot metering while you're at it. Any other requests for the Olympus crowd?
