htc one is half way through its life cycle as an android device... I cant swallow paying for a rebadged android phone 6 months after the fact. windows phone 10 is a year away I think... 8.1 isnt even all rolled out I dont think. Too bad, it was a neat OS, but its clear that msft is still not...

so, I cant be the only one that jumped on with the lumia 920... its been 2 years, my contract is coming up, and as best as I can tell... I cant stay with WP even if I wanted to... ATT (who Im staying with for better or worse) only sells the 635 (too lame) and 1520 (too big)... Dont even see...

so Im doing this right now for same red lines... how do you even get it to auto reinstall your apps? it didn't even try to for me...

your not using 3.7gb, again, your confusing actual system use vs preloading. Windows preloads or retains unused data in ram for just the offchance that you might actually call that data back up. If anything else comes along that needs ram, it clears it out and uses it for what you actually...

overestimating actual system load is a big issue. window 8 (and 7 and vista) cache *whatever* in unused ram, and people often look at system resources and misunderstand the actual amount being actively consumed. I highly doubt outlook, word, ppt, and chrome were using even 2gb, let along 4gb...

IMO, there is only 1 other tablet worth considering, and that is the thinkpad tablet 2 ThinkPad Tablet 2 Dockable Windows 8 Business Tablet | Lenovo (US) Its a great device, still runs win8 pro, still has digitizer. has 8hours life, size, weight. Downside, its an atom cpu, good for most...

Ive found etradesupply, and while they look great, the digitizer I need is not in stock. Ive set an alert to be notified... but who knows how long that will take. Meanwhile I have a shattered screen that needs fixing. Any other reputable sites that have these in stock, and offer it with the...

anyone got a confirmed functional dongle for this? I still run into almost all VGA projectors in my conference room travels, Id really like to have a dongle in my bag to hook up. I see a lot of these for apples, and I presume they should work, but before I waste 15 bucks, asking you all.

cant get a signal through the vapormag case either. but the main reason was that it would add a solid 100bucks to the price tag, increase the sku count, and of the fraction of ipads sold with 3g, only a third get activated. I know I just tether... no way Im tacking another 20bucks onto my cell...

most certainly does NOT have a GPS in it. first, most GPS is built into the cellular SoC, which this of course does not have, even the ipad wifi does not have GPS for this reason while the 3/4g versions do. wifi positioning is quite accurate these days. If you get out in an area without any...

Well at 5+lbs and 17"... Im not sure you'll be able to use it as a tablet at all... but there are plenty of 17" touchscreen laptops. Otherwise, for desktop use, an external monitor would be prudent. Id throw in a wireless keyboard and mouse as well. There are some 3rd party devices that do...

a 17" tablet would likely weight 5lbs or so... Most would argue that is far too large, Id be among them. 2.5-3lbs is my tipping point. It would be difficult to even palm such a device and balance it.

just curious if anyones found msft or AT&T or whatever to replace a destroyed lumia for less than the $400 retail price? finally fell out of my pocket on the bench at the gym, and it made a friend with a dumbbell. Anyone had them take pity on you and replace a broken phone for less than the...

Im playing starcraft 2, SimCity 2013, blacktops 2, and farcry 3 on my surface. low settings on all, but it plays well enough. I mean... if theres a better gaming platform in a 2lb package, Im interested. serious gaming should be outsourced to something a bit more robust.

I love my surface, but its a supplement in addition to my xps16 laptop and gaming desktop. For instance, right now Im sitting on the couch with the XPS, I was just playing SimCity. Now Im responding to you :p But for work and lectures, the surface pro shines where mobility is concerned. I...
