i haven't picked it up yet either because of school. i know if i pick it up, it will completely consume me so i'm waiting til winter break in two weeks. i may pick it up after my last final to be honest. and probably Uncharted 2 as well.
how does Verizon know everyones shirt size?
i'm personally not saying it won't work, i'm just pretty skeptical of it because of all the things that have tried to "revolutionize" things that worked fine just the way they were. i'm not against change, i'm just against change for the sake of change or gimmicks. for example, i had a half hour argument with one of my friends the other day because our work computer got upgraded to Office 2007 from Office 2003 and he dammed the new ribbon UI to hell because he couldn't find the print button. my argument was that sure the old way worked fine and the new was confusing at first, but after using it on my personal computers, i much prefer it to the old way.

so i say all that to say, personally, i hope Natal is successful (along with Sphere) but based on what i've seen so far, i'm holding onto my grain of salt.
yea i feel the same way. it's like how i feel about my Wii. sure it was really fun for the first couple weeks but eventually i regressed back to using it like i use any other consoles. i just can't imagine a scenario where i would want to wave and swipe at my tv instead of just pushing a button since there is absolutely nothing wrong with THAT input method.

i guess i'm trying to say, laziness will always prevail. these companies are trying to fix what isn't broken.

as a WM user, i gotta say i agree with you guys. the positives on the Android front really make it a great decision for manufacturers. plus it just gets better and better as it matures. WM still has plenty going for it though in the fact that it is a proven and trusted mobile OS as well as being one of the few standard truly open OSes as far as 3rd party apps and mods go. i'm really hoping WM can make a come back with 7 because i feel like the OSes can co-exist, but if 7 tanks, i feel like WM will be the odd man out.

i despise those Droid commercials. they are so criptic, it just doesn't seem like they show enough about the phone. obviously i'm in the minority in this thinking judging from the sales. as a long time Verizon subscriber and new Touch Pro 2 owner, i'm just happy Verizon finally has some smartphones worth talking about.
yea i'm thinking the same thing. i'm a faithful WinMo user and i really want in on this action. i've used the bing gps tracking on my TP2 a couple times but not nearly as good as a standalone gps, mainly because it has no audible instructions and i have to keep looking at the screen to see if i passed my turn. i'm REALLY hoping they do release it though cause i was going to get a standalone gps around christmas time but i can wait and see with fingers crossed for now.
yea i guess your right. i remembered there being an interest fee at K-Mart but i didn't work in that department anyway so i'm not surprised i didn't know (Sporting Goods). makes alot more sense that way lol
i used to work at K-Mart a couple years back. i remember we got super busy around the holidays almost solely because of the layaway department. it's convenient for some, but honestly, like the article says, why would i leave it at the store and make payments on it when i can put it on a credit card and take it home and make payments on it? i mean you get similar interest at both and there are still payment deadlines on both.

it just amazes me that the program hasn't died out yet since they do almost exactly the same thing except you get your product immediately on credit card. i actually just paid off my new desktop like that. i had it for 4 months before i had fully paid for it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
