    So do you have to adb into the phone in order for this to work? I hate having to slog through countless pages of "omg it's not working halp" and "yes it is, you're just dumb" posts to FINALLY get to the part where someone lays out how to initiate the darn thing.

    Oh well, let's see if I can get this thing working. #googlemapsnavigationg1

    @FooSchnickens - BPH Free: Ok, looks like I got it working. It does use ADB to push everything to the phone so be sure you have the drivers on your computer before you start.

    Now all I need is a car adapter that will also work with the phone's sound output and I'm all set. My iPod is feeling more and more obsolete these days. It's kind sad. :( #googlemapsnavigationg1

    @00000000: Seems to work just like the review giz posted earlier this month. I agree on the voice being a bit grating at times, but it gets the job done. It even knew the secret back way I use to get to work that avoids all the traffic.

    I'll have to fiddle with it some more this weekend whilst running some errands. #googlemapsnavigationg1

    Well, that pretty much decides it for me. I'm waiting it out to see if the G1 will get an official update, but if the other phones get it and the G1ers don't, I'm going back to rooting.

If you screw up, you get the same virtual romance holodeck experience except your virtual pee pee cannot get an e-rection, and you are virtually humiliated. And then when you try to explain it to her, she just laughs at you for telling a pair of glasses that you've just had too much wine. #ar

    @NightInfinity: Yes, that was a concept video, but I'm very happy to hear that it's been put to real life application at last. I think this is one of the better immediate uses for AR tech.

    As something like an engine is assembled in a relatively standard way, it should be easy for the software to recognize parts, and what it is looking at - I also think it would be pretty easy to slap a sticker with a glyph onto parts to ID them and give a little orientation data to a system like this if needed. #ar

    Problem is that mechanics need their hands to be able to go in tight spots.
    Hell, what happens when you slip trying to loosen/tighten something and break it? "Guess I'm not fixing this today!" . How about how easy it'll be to smuggle these to the enemy? lol! #ar

    @CoHPhasor: They're written at an eight grade English level. How much easier can you get? Though you have a point, half the shit I used to have to fix on aircraft way never in a good place to stick your hands. You usually ended up doing it by feel, then using an inspection mirror to see if you did it right. That's the problem with engineers, they don't have to work on the stuff they draw up on paper. Yes, my aircraft was designed on paper, not computers..... #ar

    @malaklaze: I'm sure someone could do it as a proof of concept. It's incredibly unlikely to be usable, though. The Android software spec requires that you have a few real buttons (I think the Home, Back, and Search buttons are among them). Which, clearly, the iPhone never will.

    It would be an awkward hack at best. Unless you're doing it for the sole goal of gloat and glee, I wouldn't recommend it.

    I wonder if they plan on porting the HTC Sense UI onto the Samsung Moment.

    I love the Sense, but love the physical keyboard and faster processor of the moment.

    @krische: Best idea would be to make each of the different UIs portable. Sense, Blur, stock Android. Alas, I doubt HTC and Motorola will be as open with their custom UIs. I mean, that's cool. It's what makes their products different, gives them their competitive edge, so I can understand why.

    Still would be kinda cool.

    @yeti: I have a spectrum analyser for 2.4GHz radio bands and I checked out some BT gear on it... Wi-fi is pretty weak compared to a cel phone, but compared to Wi-fi, Bluetooth barely shows up as a smattering of background noise.

    So I'd wondered the same, but looking at it, BT is really negligible. You will literally get more radiation in the same frequency band by standing in the same room as a properly working microwave oven while using it.

    The incidence of cancer in our world is WAY up over the historic rate. And cancer is virtually unknown in undeveloped areas of the planet. Coincidence?

    @Bandit: I think you have to account for differences in life spans and detection rates if you want to compare the "developed" world to other areas or historical rates. If you don't have CT scans, MRIs, constant mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate exams, you aren't going to realize/record that what killed someone was unchecked cancer. And, if you're dying because of bad water, bad nutrition, constant warfare, etc, you're less likely to live long enough to get cancer. For all we know, "old age deaths" from times before x-rays, proper autopsies, and the like could actually be cancer deaths.
