i think htc are up tomorrow or tuesday,

 

[_Jimlad_]

surely these big companies know that real android fans and devs would love a pure android phone?

if one of them would just bring out a sweet speced handset running stock 2.3 im sure it would sell like a hotcake!

[_Jimlad_]

[_Jimlad_]

LG Optimus Pad gets official

[_Jimlad_]

wow not cheap are they!

 

[_Jimlad_]

this is what concerns me about all these android pads,

Joe Public... "hey look a ipad copy that costs more".... i think i will get an ipad

 

[_Jimlad_]

i know what your saying, but prices have started to be confirmed, best buy are pre listing the xoom for $800 and we all know we wont get the current exchange rate it will be more like £800!

 

[_Jimlad_]

gosh! i hope they have something else up there sleeves, no duel core is gonna be a show stopper...

 

[_Jimlad_]

they are complete tools if they don't offer something with a rival spec to the other top brands, the desire v Galaxy S last year was a great example..

samsung upgrade the phone and spec then HTC don't - poor show!

 

[_Jimlad_]

Boooo HTC!


Looks like Moto/Sammy will be getting my money this year.

+1

 

[_Jimlad_]

Atrix has the bootloader locked, i think the Dev's will pick up the SGS2, which will make it the phone for me.

2010 was about GalaxyS v Desire...
2011 GalaxyS2 v Desire with makeup on!!

 

[_Jimlad_]

SGS2 for me... HTC oh how you let us loyal fans down

 

[_Jimlad_]

i think there is another mobile event in march?

 

[_Jimlad_]

trying to find where i read and what i read... it just said that perhaps they are holding back until ????? in march

 

[_Jimlad_]

The HTC tablet looks interesting. The more pen inputs the better TBH.

With the Asus Windows tablet and now this one maybe it's the start of a pattern.

(And shame on Engadget calling it a stylus...)

im not rating the spec, size or os ....

 

[_Jimlad_]

Spec? Nothing majorly wrong there. No dual core but a very fast single core. Size, more portable than a 10" and the OS? True, Android isn't the best (;0)...

all of htc's stuff has been short sighted, if your gonna spend serious money on a tablet and we know they are all gonna be pricey, you would at least want

honeycomb - made for tablets
duel core - its the latests and is what others are shipping with
size - well its personal choice, i would prefer 10" (no doubt the mrs would too)
