BGR's Zach Epstein recently wrote a featured editorial blasting tablet manufacturers for not following Apple's lead. He then blasted them for many of the same choices that Apple made with the iPad.

I couldn't leave it alone, so I posted a rebuttal on my site. Please read. Thanks.

I need to set up re-occuring dates for things like conference calls and shipping. How does I do it and then how does I do it so that it updates to my phone?

What are some good hacking Android phones on Verizon and AT&T?

I am out of the loop on those guys a wee bit and don't have much time to look at xda right now.

I received the G2x OTA (Over-The-Air) Gingerbread update Tuesday morning. I seem to be one of the first ones however. (Android 2.3.3, Kernal 2.6.32.9). It took about 11 minutes. It is only slightly different visually.

I haven't noticed any real differences, except that it hasn't "locked up" or re-booted itself....yet. Keeping fingers crossed :-)

I currently own a Blackberry 9700 which I loathe, for a lack of better terms, and I am looking to go Android, on T-Mobile.

The two phones I have in mind are the LG G2x and the upcoming HTC Sensation. I know that the LG G2x runs a stock version of Android and the HTC has the 'Sense'.

Aside from looks, what does HTC's custom user interface offer up that the stock Android does not? Is it a big deal, or mostly vanity?

And lastly, does the phone being version 2.2 or 2.3 really make a world of difference?

I'm really looking for some helpful insight, so if all you plan on saying is "HTC sucks!" or "LG sucks" or "Android sucks" or "Get an iPhone" or something empty-headed of that sort, please don't.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Discuss.

Has anyone else seen this? Its ugly. I just activated a CLNR phone for someone and BOOM there it was. Its ugly as sin but has added books and movies to the categories. Looks like the only option is to rent for 3.99 on movies.

This is a DX2 that I am looking at. Has anyone heard if this is only for this phone or it will be for any new android?

Also I noticed the verizon tab has disappeared, Which is sweet, because I want one of the AT&T specific applications.

We are almost done with an android app that will be released in or around mid-August. Our app is currently in a private beta. What is the best way to monetize?

I'm trying to find an app for my Prevail that will allow me to download music files for free. I used to have one, but it was removed for some reason 😢

I think I just figured out that non of AT&Ts 4G phones will ever work on their LTE system (different from Verizon's LTE) when they finally complete their backfill.

Say it ain't so!

If this is true, then I bet a bunch of folks are buying 4G units right now, thinking that they will eventually be able to reap the benefits of AT&T's LTE system later!

How did I not know that I could watch streaming videos with the netflix app? Last i looked i could only add to my query. But no longer! I think that is the coolest thing since cupcakes.

Productivity just got taken down a notch.

Know any sites for rooting a Samsung Prevail?

I am seriously considering switching to an Android phone. But there are so many choices.

-Are some manufacturers doing a better job than others at making these phones?

I dl all kinds of torrents for games and apps and waa-laa I have access to them everywhere!

is pretty sweet.

If I have a prepaid plan with t-mobile, and I recently bought off an android from a friend. I know that the Moto Cliq XT is an old phone, but am I able to use the same SIM Card with it? And would I need a data plan in order to access the web or would upgrade to the prapaid plans that have data would get it to work? Another quick question, would the old sim card affect the text messages? Thanks for helping me. I'm not familiar with the tmobile phones. Sorry.

is kinda buggy.

Who has an invite they want to send me? 😁

Just a quick question, and I think I know the answer, just want a second opinion.

Android requires how much internal memory to run smoothly without impacting the UI or Hardware of the device. Obviously I understand that it will depend on paramters of the phone...I.E. CPU, RAM, etc. etc....just wanting a general idea.
