This seriously pisses me off...
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Australian Release Blocked By Apple
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/08/sa...federal-court/
I see more and more Android phones and tablets in public transports every day, but Sydney is still Apple land, I would not be surprised if more than 50% of phones in Sydney were iPhones.
This move by Apple will make people that were waiting for the Galaxy 10.1v probably go for the iPad or maybe other Android Tablets, I see Asus Transformers, Xooms and Acers in every store now.
Samsung really should just cut off Apple completely.
No more RAM modules / Flash memory / whatever.
No more screens.
No more A5 CPUs.

These lawsuits (on all sides) are getting to be pretty ridiculous. I do think Apple is the worst of the lot though.
Thank deity that Apple doesn't make cars. They'd start off with an all electric car, that needs a special outlet in your house for charging. The hood would be screwed closed with special screws.
The next year it'd come with a radio (originally radios weren't an option as they would distract from the driving experience). It would also have a normal plug. Apple would claim to have revolutionized the industry by including a normal plug and radio.
The third year would include a small gas engine for "on the go" charging. Apple would claim to have invented electric cars with gas engines.
All the cars would be very sleek and fashionable. Get good mileage, etc.
Next Apple would proceed to sue other car manufactures by claiming they were copying the "look, feel, operation" (four wheels, doors, steering wheels) of their I-car.

LG could manufacture screens and Toshiba could make flash memory.

Hey guys the HTC Flyer has received S-Off thanks to unrevoked and alpha-rev for creating revolutionary which breaks the HTC signed bootloader dealio this also works on the Sensation, Evo 3d and other new HTC devices. Be warned this beta software so I only advise tech savy people and developers to use this. I take no responsibility for damages that may be incurred.
get revolutionary here
http://revolutionary.io/
Also the first custom rom for the HTC flyer was created. It allows phone functionality on the 3g versions and on non-3g versions it acts as if there is no sim in the device. It also provides root user and busybox too.

If you're planning on getting a laptop to run Mac apps or Windows apps, this isn't the device you want to settle with. I, for example, recently REALLY desperately needed to replace my old Dell Inspiron 8200 with a new laptop and ended up getting an Asus K53E (Sandybridge i3 64-bit CPU+GPU processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, etc. under $400!! FTW!!!) and threw Linux onto it. I now have enough resources to even run Windows in a VirtualBox session (not that I want or need to for any reason, really). The Asus Transformer wouldn't be sufficient for me to do resource-heavy work on like a full-on x86 laptop would. So keep that in mind.
Dan I was wondering if I can get your opinion on something. There is a COSTCO that opened up in my suburb (in Sydney) and today they've got a special on the ASUS Transformer for $444 -16gb wifi no dock.
On the other hand, if you need a portable Android tablet does that has a comfy keyboard like a laptop, USB ports, HDMI, SD slots and mixes the best of both worlds without the incredibly heavy resources of a full-on laptop, then the Transformer will fit somewhere in between quite nicely. Even better once they get Ubuntu running on it properly.

Hey guys want to make your own Rom for a particular Android device customized to your own needs. Well XDA-devs shows us its not that hard. They use the Evo 3D as an example but this can be done with any Android rom but make sure it specific to the device your modding.

I don't want buyers remorse!
11" MBAir 4GB, SSD128GB (half for Win7), Apple DVD-drive ... why would I need a Transformer if I'm struggling to find time to tinker with linux these days?
If its a Transformer with slim bezels and 8.9" size
= one-handed portrait use with my XL hands
= my car gps & entertainment
= mobile computer = no need to buy an ultraportable laptop (ie MBA).
Me =/= $$TREE$$

lol just kidding!
Dan I was wondering if I can get your opinion on something. There is a COSTCO that opened up in my suburb (in Sydney) and today they've got a special on the ASUS Transformer for $444 -16gb wifi no dock.
Is it a good price?
I really like it, but then again I am planning on buying a new Macbook Air + Apple DVD-drive ($1,100 - $1,400) and dualbooting Win7 off it, so I don't think the tablet would get much use I hope. Offcourse this means selling my current laptop Acer 4810 (perhaps I can grab AU$900 for it), funny enough I'm always on a budget.
If it was 8.9", I would implement it in my car, so I'd buy it right away, but any size larger and it wont fit ... so I'm having doubts.
Especially with Xmas creeping up, it seems the latest and greatest is a stonesthrow away.
