Is your complaint about the form factor or the launch date?
If form factor then it's because of the Nexus 7 and Amazon kindle - both cheaper and smaller tablets;
as for dates i'm not sure but i was under the impression that apple had announced their date before samsung did

maybe they changed it after people complained - though i can imagine people still complaining about this after all not everyone has taken to unity

i'm a little low on data myself so i may wait a week or 2 before trying it out tho i think i'll try kubuntu this time - haven't yet taken to the unity thing

one question though, should i go 32-bit or 64-bit? My hardware supports 64bit but i'm not sure i'll be able to get all the packages i want in 64bit

ole!!!
there are lots of free android apps on the play store that can do the same thing

[quote author=Kay-baba]i installed the consumer preview, what i did was dat i just upgraded to window 8 from window 7 but when i installed the key u gave me my window refused to activate. but if u want me to do fresh installation, i will try that but wen i was upgradin it didnt ask for key , am afraid if i should do fresh installation wether it will ask for key

pls reply before i embark on it.[/quote]you do rea;ise you took a big risk, why upgrade a full release os with a trial one? a better option would have been to install them side by side. i'm pretty sure that after a while MS will either force you to buy a full license or disable your trialware

UncleJJ: All rubbish. Winxp still the most popular is in the world. I always advice ... Buy a high pc, rip out the crappy os an dc stick xp into it.

Winxp's days are numbered and some of the newer pcs won't work properly with XP either - alot of them don't have compatible drivers

Nkonadi: yep. Datx wat it Means... It Wont Boot If a Corrupt Usb is plugged in

what's to stop me putting a corrupt flash after booting? Besides if i was intending to boot off a flash, i won't be planning to boot win8 - unless the win8 was on the flash

Am i the only one who thinks Snow White and the Huntsman is rubbish?

4mulanoni: *Built-in Antivirus(bad news for H4(kers): Windows 8 has an antivirus present inside the kernel of the operating system. This means that your system won’t boot if a corrupt USB device is plugged in.

can you please elaborate about that? do you mean Windows won't boot off a corrupt usb device or what exactly are you sayng?...
haven't tried mounting an ISO file but i'd say it's long overdue; linux has had that functionality for ages. One other thing, are these points based on personal experience or you got it from a site? if from a site would it be possible to post the link?

Ok so an american who may or may not be a christian makes a video that they find insulting and then they go about harassing everyone else? Thats ridiculous; if someone insults you or your parents you confront the person, you don't go about attacking people of his tribe or race, or what does being an american or non muslim have to do with the fact that some idiot somewhere made a silly video?

4llerbuntu: if you want to install programs in WINE now i suggest you use playonlinux.
whisper it quietly too, but for some reason the apps i tried didnt need the activation key yadayada, eg MSWORD 2010. it just worked, no cracking, no activation, no key etc.
hope MS don't discover this or someborry gonna sue someborry

ole!!!

now if only i could be sure my swift wimax usb modem would work on it i woould jump in sharp sharp; unfortunately i don't think wine can resolve hardware driver issues

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]intel is still the most supported.try running mac osx on an amd cpu. too much wahala

why not just get him a REAL phone e.g that nokia 100 or a tecno phone? i'm sure one of the reasons they can differentiate is because of the weight. then buy plenty of colourful cases for the phone so you can change the cases and they make the phone look different;

Tusky44: And how does this affect the price of AMALA? Since g*rri gets you a ban now.

well if the amal seller gets his/her phone spoilt then the seller has to make extra money and may jerk up the prices

leunamme93: Guys planing on dumping my nokia e5 for Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos, dont knw whether it worth it. Have never used an andriod before, nd i also love qwerty keypads.
Thanks Gurus.

well you might want to try out the 2 of them together to see which you prefer; one of my biggest issues with the galaxy pro series is that you don't have a dedicated call button, if u aren't so particular about getting a dual sim version you can go for an htc chacha instead, that has a dedicated call button tho it costs a little more

AMD; 2 reasons; price and hardware virtualization; even the most basic of today's AMD CPUs support hardware virtualization; the same can't be said of Intel and even some mid to high range intel CPUs still don't support it; ok most people don't need it but for those of us who like trying out different oses on virtual machines, the performance implications cannot be ignored

what do you need an antivirus for on a java-based phone? Waste of time if you ask me

Mayorwer: Hello gurus in the in the house,i have a low ram size android phone,i installed move2sd to move any downloaded applications to my sd card.but unfortunately,its not moving any app.it says some of the app can not be moved.i rooted my phone but it is still d same.my ram is almost full.i cant download.pls what do i do?

you say you've rooted your phone? what you need is actually link2sd; with that you get a lot more internal memory; go to the developer website for intsructions on installing it

timpaker: HELP! I'm heartbroken. My nokia E7 is misbehaving. The charging
port recently got faulty and I took it to the phone clinic...after fixing
the charging port I discovered that most of my apps doesn't open
anymore, even my contacts, mails and messages have all refused
to open, Same with the internet connectivity which doesn't connect,
it keeps prompting the "connection failed" msg on the screen.
As I am typing this complaints, i feel crying as the phone is as good
as useless each time I stare at it.
Can anyone help me with a solution please? I don't wanna loose this
phone (not yet).
Thanks.

have u tried reinstalling any of the apps? if that still doesn't work you may have to do a hard reset but first back up your phone - even if you have to use pcsuite.
google up on how to hard reset your E7

big deal, i'm pretty sure it won't affect the s3 much - and that's currently the best selling android phone. At the rate these guys keep bringing out new phones, apple won't have much to sue pretty soon; besides samsung already has a name so they don't have to look like apple anymore

why not download it on a pc and send/copy to your phone?

ewerex: blackweaver,can u help me wit d upgrading of the phone? I have try severally but I dont seem to get it. You can inbox me ur no so that we can talk better.

Go to the Samsung website and download kies, install it, connect your phone, there should be an option somewhere to upgrade your phone.
on the other hand, if you have wifi network you connect to on your phone, go to settings -> about phone -> software update (it might be different on your phone, mine uses android 2.3)

just wondering, how well does the lumia do if i don't have wifi or a mobile data plan? will i still have a decent user experience without internet connection on my phone (say for 2 weeks)?
pls note, this is not an argument, i'm genuinely asking those who have used the phone before

hidon: Hello House,

I am an expert in Linux, Unix and Solaris and can configure a windows and ubuntu linux system to a Mac OS Lion. My contact is 08023608328 and emailid : doimazona@yahoo.com

you DO realise that most of the people on this thread are pretty comfortable using linux

ewerex: What do you guys think?

Galaxy ace? not a bad phone but Froyo (android 2.2)? in this day and age? well see if you can upgrade the os, the interface looks a little jaded to me,
ics may be released for the phone by now; nut i expect it should at least have gingerbread upgradedates

Seyilome: how much is L3 e405 at slot?

Sweetdoct247: Morning Gurus, pls how can I download and install android apps from a pc without having to use my phones 3G or wireless connection?  I want to be able to simply download an app into my pc and then syc/transfer it to my phone irrespective of whether my the fone is connected to the internet or not. The only way I've been able to get apps is from google play and I've noticed whether I accessed it thru pc or the phone itself It still requires my fone's 3G/wirelss connectivity to download into the fone and considering data costs certain apps which I'd rather have are "simply no-gos" or how wld one download a game of over 500mb on a capped data? . I know there is usually a way around all these things so I'm asking for help. Until now I've only used Nokia and apple and I can download anything from their markets thru the pc suite/itunes no matter the size and have it transferred to my phone but the case is not the same here samsung kies can only download samsung apps and it does not access the google's play store. Going thru the posts here a number of good sites from where  android apps can be downloaded have been posted but after downloading how do I install it on the fone?  I'm completely new to android so pls simple instructions and links will be appreciated. Phone is SG3 thanks.

i use real apk leecher
