Original Samsung Galaxy Tab. 7", small, runs on the phone OS. You should be able to find a deal. IDK anyone with them, but I'd look to see how that screen does. I think the latest update to Google Maps 5.5 does caching of maps. I'm too tired to look into it/remember properly, but remind me later and I'll look into it. You know, if you don't know how to use Google. **BRENT**

Did anyone post this one yet, Dusty? **BRENT**

Softbox Pro for iPad is free right now. Looks like a neat little program for photographers. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/softbox-pro-for-ipad/id415056105?mt=8 **BRENT**

Do you like free? Do you like Radiohead (or Thom Yorke, specifically)? Do you like covers? If so, take a journey over to DealMac and czech this out. You have to download each song individually... but it's better than paying for it on iTunes or Amazon, no? Free Radiohead Cover Album Also, Zagg is having a site-wide 2-day sale on their warez starting tomorrow. I figure the Zaggmate iPad keyboard/case thing may be of interest to some at the ~50$ mark. **BRENT**

Thanks for all the HBD wishes guys and gals. I really appreciate it. Had I not had a couple plates of chicken nachos earlier (corn chips + flour chips... flour won), I'd be salivating over some biscuits right now. Instead, I shall refrain til the 'morrow. Now I'm off to drink my metamucil and take my Centrum Silver... gotta get up for the early-bird special in 3.5 hours. <shuffles off slowly gripping a walker with tennis balls on the feet> **BRENT**

Some SlickDeals Nikon lens deals... think they might be pretty good, but I'm not the expert here. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/51639/best-buy-nikon-lens-sale-afs-dx-35mm-f1.8-155-1755mm-f2.8g-edif-afs-dx-1191-85mm-af-f1.4d-if-1224-70300mm-f4.55.6g-edif-afs-vr **BRENT**

So Best Buy has some seemingly good deals on some Canon gear right now. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/51623/best-buy-canon-eos-rebel-dslr-cameras-5d-mark-ii-21.1mp-2124-t2i-efs-1855mm-f3.55.6-is-672-t3i-18mp-w-efs-18135mm-f3.55.6-is-756-7d-18mp-w-28135mm-f3.55.6-is-1595 Canon EOS Rebel DSLR Cameras: 5D Mark II 21.1MP $2124, T2i EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS $672, T3i 18MP w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS $756, 7D 18MP w/ 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS $1595 + Free Shipping I checked BH Photo, and it's showing "Out Of Stock" and says no availability from the the manufacturer. This mean the Mk3 should be dropping soon, or is there just some promotion going on/low supply due to natural disasters? **BRENT**

This must mean you're the same person... **BRENT**

I told you people don't want people with shorts taking pictures of them... **BRENT**

Awesome, Nate. Shall I recommend "ThanksKilling" as your inaugural viewing? **BRENT**

Czech it: http://lifehacker.com/5801720/how-to-install-netflix-on-almost-any-android-device **BRENT**

Scott got it working. Is yours still rooted? I think it wasn't working on rooted, but someone found a workaround. Let us know. **BRENT**

Uhmmm.... maybe? I tried to download earlier today, it said "1-5 downloads". Now it's 10,000-50,000. Oh well, I tried. I'm pretty sure you can get a full 2 hour movie on a charge, but I don't know how much battery you'd have left. **BRENT**

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient Doesn't work for all Android phones yet, but some HTC work and the Nexus S works. **BRENT**

Call up the store and see if they have the phone still. If they do, just social engineer your way into you seeing it again to wipe. I'm sure it happens quite a bit. Did you have a passcode or unlock "drawing" set up? If so, I'm sure they will wipe it without the possibility of even seeing anything of yours. I'd recommend setting up an unlock pattern for your phones. I can't stand the thought of someone getting into mine. **BRENT**

Hey... look at that. There was another page. Peter Rojas from gdgt (co-founder of Gizmodo and Engadget) has installed it on his Nexus S. Said it took a couple of tries, but it works. So... what kind of Quadrant scores are you gettin' with that puppy? **BRENT**

No guarantees, but I never used mine. It MAY be associated with the e-mail address. If so, just sign up and wait, but I'll see if I can dig around to invite someone, but haven't seen it so far. Shelly, check your PM in a minute. **BRENT**

Catching up with this thread, I guess I better throw some stuff out that I've picked up over the past month and change... Heady Nuggs - Flaming Lips - vinyl Medium Rare - Foo Fighters - vinyl T-Mobile G2x 4 - Head-Case Glencairns 1 - Head-Case Geneapalooza shirt (Blue) 1 - Head-Case Travel Team Small Aviator Elijah Craig 18 - (which, after those two glasses were poured, it was stolen from buddy's place ) Black Swan Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Download (now 77$ on Amazon... really? Really?) Oh, and the Stax Audio - The Warsaw Baroque Soloists - Concerto Avenna **BRENT**

Very nice phone. It's also stock Android, and the "flagship" right now for Google. Good choice. Go do this tomorrow. Some people like the customizations. I weep for those people. I picked up a G2x recently. Mmmmmm... dual core goodness. It's not perfect, but it's the first smartphone I've ever had that is good enough to be my only phone... and I'm RIDICULOUSLY picky about my phones. **BRENT**

Supposedly really good, but not necessarily pretty, wine app. I figured you kids should know about it. http://cor.kz/ **BRENT**

Hey Shelly, Glad you finally got something, and are digging Android. I just went from a Blackberry as my main device to a G2x (all touchscreen, 4" 800x480 screen, same as yours, running stock Android.) I love it. I'm not even using Swype right now, but they keyboard is rather fast. At 4", touchscreen keyboards aren't bad at all. I'd give your phone til near the return period, see after a week or two how it works for you. If you're still torn, take it back and wait for the Nexus S. It will be thinner/more pocketable, and having all the updates first would be rather nice. If you put the Nexus S top down in your pocket, the "bulge" at the bottom would be at the entrance of the pocket, making most of the phone feel even skinnier than it is. Just some thoughts. **BRENT**

Oh, LTE is fantastic, and you have an ACTUAL unlimited plan, IIRC. That's fantastic. I don't think you're going to really notice THAT much of a different over new phones for the next 4-6 months... in a year, though, it'll be noticeable. Then again, in a year, my dual core tegra 2 1ghz with 512MB ram isn't going to be uber snappy either. I think LTE is a decent trade off. Make sure you get the "app" that is an LTE switch. There was nothing to cut it off in the stock build (which is ridiculous), but it could quite possibly help you out on battery life, especially if you aren't in a place with really strong LTE signal. **BRENT**

Nice Nate! @Shelly... You should look into getting slightly inebriated and stumbling down to the Sprint store and czech out the Kyrocera Echo. I thought it was a joke at first, but it seems to actually be getting reviewed fairly well. G2x wise. The thing is 98% vanilla Froyo, dual core Tegra 2, 4" WVGA, and just BLAZING fast. I need to place an order for a mini-HDMI cable now. Oh... I also have sometimes access to a G-Slate now. I know two people with one. The one I got to play with had a live wallpaper on it, and it was distracting enough to where I couldn't really get into the whole Honeycomb experience without being distracted. Tried doing a video call from G2x to G-Slate, but the slate's app kept force closing. Did a CR-48 to G-Slate GChat call, though... worked great! **BRENT**

Just got my T-Mobile G2x with Google by LG It's stupid fast. First Android phone I've had in a while. Oh happy day. **BRENT**
