Smart phones and tablets

Just put my asus trans prime side byside with my bosses ipad 2. Spec by spec. I laughed so hard when he realized his mistake on getting the Apple product

lol nah it isnt. gorilla glass is the name of the screens made by corning found in a majority of smartphones, in fact the iphone is the only recent smartphone ive seen without it.

Gorilla Glass my fucking ass.
I had the HTC One X for a exactly a month before it broke.
it broke because it was in my pocket and I had my leg on the back of a chair where the metal pole is.
nek minnit
someone sits on me, phone in pocket is against pole and crack.
so fucking pissed about it and HTC won't give me a replacement even though it's a month old.

Gorilla glass doesn't make the screen harder to crack it just makes it like impossible to scratch

And harder to crack. But it isn't unbreakable if you put 300 pounds of pressure on it while against a metal pole yea it could break. But for drops its amazing what it can do. Like my 30 foot drop that didn't even leave a scratch. Better that the 6 inches an iPhone can handle.

And there's jb ROMs for most phones, as long as you find the right/latest one it should work. Just make sure you have a cwm kernel.

news update:


tomorrow the lumia 820, 920, and the first motorola phone since it was acquired by google comes out.

the lumias will have 1.4ghz+ dual cores, have nfc, wireless charging, and will run windows 8.

the motorola phone however is what im fucking stoked too see. its going to have a screen that takes the entire front of the display. no bezel. meaning if you have a 4.5 inch screen, you have a 4.5 inch phone. and knowing google.... this leak is a distraction to keep everyone from wondering what else is on the phone, which is now googles, so you know its going to be some crazy shit.

in other news the note 2 is fucking dope as titties, i saw one today, the guy didnt tell me much aside he works with samsungs development team, and the one he had wasnt a quad core. since he said that, i know for sure its the lte dual core version that hasnt been released. he didnt say anything about specs at all, didnt even tell me how high it was clocked, and he took it away after 45 seconds because he saw me going into the system information. i fucking LOVE that phone. the size is perfect.

the iphone 5 will be released on the 12th apparently and no one knows shit about specs, so it better be good. in other apple related news they're going to COPY ASUS and make a 7 inch tablet that is already in production to be released in october. they're a bunch of hypocritical fucks.

as far as tablets go, ifa 2012 this week was FULL of incredible fucking tablets. hp has one like the transformer with a keyboard, but fuck hp dont buy that shit.
acer released 2 incredible ultra books running with i5 and i7 processors. they're cool but nothing too revolutionary. just more competition which is good.
asus released a laptop with a screen when you open it, and when closed. so a double sided screen. they can be used independently so you legit have 2 computers. someone can be playing on one side while someone else is using the other. they also released a desktop with a 4.2ghz 6 core processor, its basically a super computer.
dell released a computer that has a 27 inch touch screen that swivels, its cool but i dont see the practicality.
huawei came out of nowhere with a standard 1.2ghz superphone, it looks good but its a year late. although i like their mindset that they are just waiting for more money to flow so they can do some crazy innovating. i hope they make it.
lenovo has some nice tablets they released but again, nothing out of the ordinary.
panasonic did some good shit and made an 8k (yes, like double 4k) tv. at around 50 inches and 100fps, its going to be worth the stupid price tag.
philips has 2 4k tvs they released.
samsung brought out the ativ line of tablets, which are quad core beasts obv.. and a galaxy note camera. yea galaxy note camera. idfk dont ask.
sharp brought out a 90 inch 4k tv.
sony had some generic 720p 1.5 ghz dual core phones, and quad core tablets
toshiba introduced a 3d and 4k tv, the 3d tv being able to convert 2d to 3d. cool shit... ummmmm

i think thats it, fuck apple, and this has been your update on consumer electronics.

edit: i guess ill add in my opinion on jb since like no one else here has it. it really fucking good, but theres a few things id like to see back from ics in android 5 "key lime pie" like the swipe to call/text, better ram cleaner and a bunch of shit from ics that got left out. that being said, its still fucking amazing.

tldr; everyones coming out with some crazy new shit and fuck apple.

I've got JB, it's beautiful.

Hopefully apple will go out of business soon, people will play with their friends android devices and realize how restricted and over priced apple products really are. Especially with there stupid patents, we need someone in the court system to govern what they can actually patent, they are patenting all sorts of things that are necessary for a touch screen interface.

Like the pinch to zoom feature, and the slide to unlock feature. That's like patenting the left button a mouse, it's near essential for basic operation.
 
Apple wont go out of business. There will always be people that buy them for the ` style` of them.

I have had my ASUS transformer prime tablet/laptop for just over a week now. i love it. i sold my windows 7 laptop to my brother as i wasnt using it anymore.

my tablet runs polaris windows, so i have word, exel and powerpoint. Obviouslys had the app store aswell. and 30, YES 30(!) hours of battery life. 15hrs for tab and 15 for keypad.
Runs so smooth, havent had any problems yet. best £400 i have spent. !!

one thing i cant do is connect my windows phone (nokia lumia 800) it only charges it. but no big deal.
