Just to make interesting conversation...

I actually use the nexus 7 as a large SIP phone for making infrequent phone calls. I too only use the phone rarely, so it makes little sense for me to buy a dedicated device. When I take a call, I have to flip the device so that the rear speaker is at my ear. The volume for the device is already set to low levels for phone calls, as it would be on a handset. The only trouble is that I have to be careful not to touch the screen for unwanted input. The setup works well in my home, and when around WiFi.

It would have been ideal to have a dedicated speaker like the galaxy tab 7.7, but honestly, I do not miss it much thanks to this setup.

Wow, that looks pretty cool. Especially for notifications it can save a lot of battery. You could also just put a nice design on the back though you may have to rfresh it every now and then. Especially if t's sunny.

I also really like the idea of Pixel Qi that has a reflective LCD display and the ability to turn off the backlight entirely saving a claimed "100-fold" power savings over traditional displays. I do wonder about the screen characteristics though as this seems almost too good to be true.

Android: "I challenge you to a DUAL!"
WP8: "Don't you mean a duel?"
Android: [shows the dual-screen device] "NOPE! I meant a DUAL!" *BAM!*

Turning a misspelling into an advantage!

Continuing the trend about severe advancements in Android...

http://androidheadlines.com/2012/12/...l-android.html

FTA:
"Linux 3.7 kernel has been completed, and it looks like it’s finally going to include support for all ARM chips, as well as support for the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture, that’s supposed to ship in 2014 with the Cortex A57 and Cortex A53 chips. This should have significant benefits not just for Linux on ARM but for Android as well."

So much for all these people that said Android was ruining Linux or forking it in horrible ways.

Near as I can tell, once again everybody's benefiting from Android... even if you don't use it!

I just tried to transfer my Sygic GPS license so I could use it on my Galaxy Note and the best they can offer is a 25 % discount. I quoted your post to them. Below is their reply. Perhaps you had a multiplatform version? Anybody else have more luck than me?

Hello mscion,

That post must have been incorrect (or the user purchased a box edition of Mobile Maps which was multi platform), because unfortunately it indeed isn't possible to transfer a Maemo-only license to a different platform.

However, if you'd like to, I'll be able to offer you the 25% discount code.

Best regards,

Lukas

I did it as well. (running it on my note now)

But we could have different areas/packages. I paid 59 or 49 Eur back in the day.

Could it have been some kind of campaign? You might only bought for a small area or country. Could that be the reason?
