Good morning everyone!

So, my day was bad yesterday.

Anyone have some good news?

Well they're close to coming up with a rice-based human blood supply. You can stop your unholy harvest of us mortals

Have they released which carriers will have the transformer prime?

Sorry you had a bad day yesterday. The good news is, the sun came up today...oh wait...that's not good news for you, is it? Crap...I got nothin'. Sorry.

Ha, I wish, I just got some BS news at work. Been in meetings all morning. Not happy. Need something to cheer me up.

Well, this makes me a little happy:

#1000!

I may be wrong, but isn't it wifi?

That's what I thought, too.

Sorry you had a bad day.
No good news - but no bad news either.

Some balloons to cheer you up?

Yuck! Synthetics can't replace the real thing as far as taste goes. Besides, we don't really "harvest" humans. Where do you think the Red Cross came from?

Sorry you had a bad day yesterday. The good news is, the sun came up today...oh wait...that's not good news for you, is it? Crap...I got nothin'. Sorry.

SPF 10,000 is pretty good stuff and winter reduces the UV levels so it is all good. Bright and sunny here today.

I may be wrong, but isn't it wifi?

Yeah, looking now and it appears to only have wifi. That seems silly to put out such a powerhouse without an LTE option.

Haha, I'm stuck with my WVGA Touch Pro2, so I guess I shouldn't be dissing qHD, but it has been getting a bad rap recently. My friend's T-Mo HTC Sensation's qHD screen is pretty nice though. However, I think I noticed a green hue. *shrug*

Whatevs, GN is getting 720p, that's all that matters to me

That green hue is a known early production defect - encourage your pal to consider a replacement.

Just my opinion.

Could that be why the battery is so awesome?

sorry to hear that!! also, sorry to report that no news in here...

That is what tethering is for.

 

[Ytram]

True. I guess the cost of a tablet data plan would be offset by a tethering plan.

It wasn't all bad, I just lost money and my hockey team lost.

On the plus side, I had a great dinner.

Off topic: The New England Patriots just cut Albert Haynesworth. Refreshing proof that subhuman jerks don't always escape what's coming to them.

On topic: How bout that Nexus, eh?

Spoiler

The best tablet / stylus combo in Android I know of is the HTC Flyer. Don't know if it will do what you want, but you can use it to mark up content, then save results as a PDF.

I know these ?'s are off topic, but last one I promise, this is an example of my spray charts...imagine it blank, and needing to write on them what you see written. Were you saying I'd need an htc flyer tablet, or is there an app that I could get for the new asus transformer that could do this??

Keep in mind, that's just an article and not an official spec sheet. Not unusual for an article to miss a detail like that.

I'd pretty much guarantee that's it would be SAMOLED+.

The reason old phones didn't use SAMOLED+ was because Samsung didn't have the capability to print subpixels at that resolution. Once they refined thier process, pretty much everything coming off the line is SAMOLED+ now. Can you think of a recently released phone using an AMOLDED display that doesn't use the + version? I find it highly unlikely we'll se qHD screens in anything but RGB configurations from here out.

GNex is in the same boat. Samsung can't print HD screens with 3 subpixels at that resolution. So we're stuck with pentile.

I thought the Razr was pentile at qHD resolution.

Samsung is squeezing out all they can from their shadow mask process, and it was optimization of it that led to RGB stripe at WVGA resolutions. Really, the LITI masking process is totally capable of RGB stripe down to the densities required for 720p at 4.3". Shadow mask will never get there, hence the pentile HD display. I guess they just haven't ramped up the new process to full production, or the line got delayed. I'll see if I can find more info on that.

Yeah I don't really understand LTE tablets, unless you only use a dumbphone. The cost of a subsidized LTE tab is the same (or more) than a wifi one, and you can tether cheaper than you can get a tab data plan, AND no contract for tethering...

Have been out of the Nexus loop for about a week...

11/21 now? What

Any revision in specs for the VZW version like people were thinking?

Rumor is a 100mAh bump in battery, but no confirmation yet I don't think. And 11/21 is still just a rumor, but the latest one we have had. 17th is still a possibility though, for the optimistic among us.

 

[OfTheDamned]

What was his/her name?

I'm not positive, but he looked like a Larry. lol

I actually made a turkey yesterday and we had a "practice" Thanksgiving. Everything turned out excellent and it was a really nice meal. Now we have about 12 lbs of left over turkey to eat this week.

I bet you did.

Aha - this is why I ask things in here - someone always has the answer.
