    Paugh. This is not an eReader angle that you should waste time watching, I think.

    Question: Who even USES Flo TV, if all it is is... all of 20 channels, half of which are garbage/kids shows/MTV/Fox News?

    So it's, in essence, a non-touchscreen PADD? Seems like Star Wars and Star Trek tech is imminent.

    That's a mighty big forehead that thing has over the display. For that much empty space it should have two webcams for 3D strip teases. #qualcommsnapdragonsmartbook

    @Kaiser-Machead: not to come off as an apple hater, but doesn't the iphone have a bit of a big "forehead"?

    just saying, at times that can work. Though whether it helps in this case is questionable. #qualcommsnapdragonsmartbook

    @jrghoull: Yeah, but it's also symmetrical with the other end with the home button. Just the same, the extra head does house the audio, proximity and ambient light sensors. With most of a laptop's hardware housed under the keyboard rather than the display housing, as well as the lower bezel having such a low profile, it just looks odd here.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Sometimes PC manufactuers do something a little bit differently, it seems odd (though not impossible) for them to have added that 'forehead' for asetics reasons alone...so perhaps it will serve some sort of useful/semi useful function #qualcommsnapdragonsmartbook

    In reply to Xperia X3 Might be Hiding Snapdragon Under Its Good Looks
    Any new android handset news is good news.

    I really can't wait 'til there's a plethora of these guys to choose from. I finally got a chance to play with my buddy's G1 (not rooted). For first generation hardware and software its a pretty damn awesome device. Its as functional as my heavily modified windows mobile phone ever was.

    I need a new phone pretty badly but can't afford to pay an arm and a leg like others have stated.

    Who wants to help me find a cheap non-dumbphone I can use on T-Mo!?! #sonyericsson

    @tehsquish - Still plays Ultima Online: Assuming you played with the G1 recently, you probable used Donut (1.6). I've had the G1 since pre-Cupcake, and believe me in those two little updates it has come a long friggin' way. I think the regular updates are one of the best things about Android. And part of the reason I'll probably stick with stock Android.

    As for cheap, I'd probably wait until after the holidays. By mid-to-late December, we should have a plethora of new phones out for all carriers. By January, there will likely be quite a few sales. The G1 came out in October, by March or April when I got mine, it was already available on Amazon with a Tmo plan for $100. When Android is more ubiquitous and the big release is done, you'll probably see quite a few more sales.

    Best of luck, man! #sonyericsson

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.:

    Are D-pads really necessary anymore for touch screen phones? The closest thing the G1 has is a trackball, and seriously, it's pretty useless outside of tabbing through a block of multiple hyperlinks on a webpage where your finger might hit the wrong link.

    My only concern with this phone is that beyond the initial specs (which sound good so far), the device itself is pretty boring in form factor and aesthetics. I looks like the engineers told the designers to just put a plastic box around their hardware. It has no "pick-up" appeal.

    @know1: See, my thing is, I'm a gamer. A D-pad is de rigeur for me. Especially when that Snapdragon could make for quite the mobile gaming experience.

    Touchscreen controls are nice if a game is built around them, but I like emulators, and touchscreen controls suck for emulators.

    I bet the yield rates on this is really bad as you move up in size.

    @tineras: Yes, so many of these things end up as vaporware. They never see the light of day. They're all about scientists trying to show us how smart they are. I know a faster way for them to prove their point. They should all just pull out their dicks and break out the tape measure. It would save us gadget freaks a lot of heartache of seeing what we can never have.
