    Android's Future Clarified.

    I have been reading articles around the net about Google tightening control of Android. Many people out there seem to believe that Android will become closed as a result. This is not true at all. When a platform is too open, it allows others to close it up. Fragmentation itself can really...

    The Nintendo 3DS isn't almost as powerful as the PS2, it well surpasses it. (56k Warning)

    The difference is huge. Kid Icarus 3DS: Resident Evil 3DS: It may not hold a candle to the PS3 or Xbox 360, but it is definitely more powerful than the PS2.

    Whenever I talk to her about it, she says, "But it's from Sprint." :confused: I haven't asked her, "What's wrong with Sprint," but many of their plans are cheaper than AT&T. She currently has an iPhone 3GS (AT&T). How do I convince her that the Evo 4G is much better than what she has...
