You have to be specific with Havas.  He's probably spent the last 15 minutes trying to literally copy and paste them from one album to another.

Sorry about that, bro.  I honestly thought you knew the difference.

Before we know it, Havas will have an iPhone.

The WWDC is today in San Fran and starts in an hour--Steve Jobs in keynote speaker. For anybody that doesnt know (or cares), this is the event that Apple breaks ground every year with something new in the tech world. OSX Snow Leopard, the 3G, 3GS, App store, Iphone 4, etc.

Looks to be OSX Lion and the new iCloud, but hoping Jobs pulls a rabbit out here--maybe Iphone 5 specs I dont know.

Bought an android tablet.  Rougly a week after I get it up and running, the company goes out of business. Since it uses a modified version of android, no more software updates.  Awesome.

I take it the same holds true for android phones, no?

I wouldnt say so, many just use standard Android.

My tablet was a tablet and an E-reader connected together (you could surf, download books on the tablet, and then read them on the E-reader).  Because of this, they had to take android and make updates to link them together.  (it was pretty cool, you could embed stuff into e-books that would then play on the tablet, like videos and what not).  Because of this, if I root the thing and put on standard android, yeah, the tablet would work, but the other half of the device would become useless.

Digging those updates. I hope the initial iOS 5 isn't buggy as shtein, but I'm sure it will be.

I have an HTC touch pro 2 through Sprint with insurance. The phone is farged up, I let someone hack it and it's been screwy ever since. Anyone know how to cook the software so I don't have to pay the $100 deductible for a new phone?

Not sure if this is the right thread....but was looking into buying an entry level camcorder...around $300 or so...anyone got any good suggestions?

There's this on amazon.com for $309:

Sony HDR-CX190 HD Handycam Camcorder with 5.3MP and 25x Optical Zoom + 16GB SDHC + Sony Case + Replacement Battery Pack + Mini HDMI Cable + Accessory Kit

Thoughts?

[ice grillin you]

unless you are doing some semi professional shtein is there a need for video cameras anymore?

i mean wouldnt an entry level video camera be called a cell phone these days?
