Highest speed bin lor... I wonder what quantity xiaomi committed.

There will be those who bragged "Look !!!! The FIRST ipong in bolehland !!!! And I paid 3k for the privilege !!!!!"

Actually this has been bugging me since JK Shin announced that Samsung has sold 38m Notes.

Just thinking aloud. I guess it was the sleeper hit that Samsung has been keeping silent about, but I suspect the other manufacturers somehow got the numbers crunched, that is why you see so many phablets now.

If you put in perspective that 50m S3s vs 38m Notes across 2 years, this is very good affirmation that people do want large screens and probably active digitizers. Samsung has now let the cat out of the bag, so I expect we can see a few more entries by other manufacturers.

As I also posted before, for this year at least, the only other remaining *potential* contender is the Asus Fonepad Note.

Someone also mentioned that it's more than just an active digitizer. This is also true, as Samsung has successfully embedded stylus aware functionality all throughout the OS. However, this is Android, and you can mod almost anything you want.

My own 2 sen is that one should remain as vendor independent as possible, therefore I will try hard to select apps and functions that can be replicated across platforms or works with any other Android instead of being locked in to Samsung.

un_id can you grow some oleophobic culture and sell? I bet you can rake in tons of $$$

Anyway please stop this.

So from your siggy phrase, what do you really desire?

Minor altercations are fine by me. At least we see different perspectives. Meaningless comments are not, as wont to by someone we shall not name, and I am not referring to KuLi.

Anyway I always read avatar and siggy text, so sometimes I wonder...

Well I find your phraseology interesting.

So will your wife start posting in note2 thread about rooting etc?

800 more posts. Maybe in 3 days, perhaps 2.

You mean the FM radio?

It should be using hardware, like the Note 2, but you will need your wired headphones plugged in to serve as the antenna.

IINM, specs that state "FM Radio" should be using a hardware receiver.

Wouldn't fruit devices give you more bling for the buck?

Yes, that is freedom !!!!

I looked closely at the spec sheet again.....it doesn't say anything about FM Radio.....

Perhaps someone with sharp enough eyes can tell if any of the videos have a segment on the FM Radio.

Once, when the first ipong came, I wondered what the fuss was all about.....it couldn't even send an sms properly. Somehow people got used to that limitation, like a dog trained to jump a low bar only.
With every new iteration, they just raise the bar a teensy bit and everyone is so happy at the achievement.

No no no......with crapple THERE IS NO NEED TO THINK. Just follow......coz you PAID THEM TO THINK FOR YOU.

I cannot remember clearly, but maybe 2mm?

Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Just posting a good example of probably why some opinions cannot coexist.

Hello all.

A perspective article, generally applicable

How much time per day do you spend actually using your phone?
http://pocketnow.com/2013/09/16/using-your-phone

....We stress about battery life and what might happen if our phone dies halfway through the day. And we obsess over new hardware, software, and features that will revolutionize the way we live, the way we communicate, or the way we interface with our mobile devices.

These pocket computers have effectively become an extension of our body and mind. They unlock all sorts of possibilities that weren’t feasible just a half decade ago..........

......At the very most, out of a 24 hour period, I would estimate my average usage – if you include streaming with the screen off – to be about two hours. An absolute maximum of four hours is fair as well.

But I’m always reading about three and four-hour screen-on times from various Android users in forums. And I can’t help but wonder what they’re doing with their phone for so long. I can’t wrap my head around that sort of usage. My attention span is admittedly shorter than it used to be, and I get bored by staring at my phone for any length of time...
