If nothing else... this should mean a much improved Digg app.

That is awesome. That will give me some ammo for all of my friends making fun of me for leaving the iPhone.

It really shows how incredible this phone is when it can win over an Apple fanboy like Kevin Rose.

I was about to say, isn't this guy an Apple fanboy of epic proportions?

 

[theineffablebob]

I wouldn't say an "Apple fanboy of epic proportions," but he does like his Apple products and will defend them.

Why would he pay for data on 2 phones? I guess so he can check out apps or something...

He still likes his iPhone and the apps that are on it I'm assuming. It's a good question but he's weird like that, don't think he's willing to give up his iPhone so easily

It seems he likes iphone just not at&t

Kevin Rose seems like a total Douche Bag to me

Anything but, just watch Diggnation to get an idea of what he's like

I think that everytime one of these internet stars endorses or switches technology preferences and the internet goes wild. However I can't help but laugh at the moment as its a blow to the Apple cult followers. But at the same time I always expect stuff like this to backfire. He may get his Incredible and say something stupid like "this thing has more than one button on the front...it sucks" and then the iFools will ride that quote for years.

I've seen plenty of Diggnation. I actually really like that show. I think Alex is very funny.

Kevin seems like he needs to get over himself.

He is going to try it. he might not like it.
If he toss the iPhone then he is a convert.


But he has money to burn.

Kevin was very nice and down to earth when I met him at the live Diggnation show in Vegas last year. He was very willing to talk with and take pictures with the fans. You shouldn't judge someone when you haven't met them.

I'm sure if Kevin is getting an Incredible, he's read through this forum or thread already.
