As much as a prick Butters is with his online persona (probably a good bloke IRL), I could not agree more with the above statement, though I'm no expert of course :)Quote:

^ I thought PC Tablet was the new coined phrase for I-pad size+ Android devices no?
Just proof that although Apple was first out of the gate with the concept (smart phones, tablets, etc), after a few years reign as the shizzle, they're already lagging behind and needing to take ideas from Android, whatever they are.Quote:

FaceNiff is an Android application that lets users sniff and intercept web session profiles over Wi-Fi networks, stealing other users’ credentials from services such as Facebook, Twitter and others.The app requires root access on the user’s Android smartphone, but other than that it’s fairly simple to use, which makes it perhaps even more dangerous than Firesheep, a Firefox extension that lets users hijack Facebook and Twitter sessions over Wi-Fi networks. FaceNiff also works on WPA-encrypted Wi-Fi networks, which Firesheep doesn’t support.
While we’re not suggesting that any of our readers should use the app to hack someone’s account (it might even be illegal depending where you live), the sheer fact that such an app exists and is very easy to use means that you should be extra cautious when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
Recently, we wrote about the necessity of using HTTPS, which offers a fair degree of protection against attacks such as those from FaceNiff and FireSheep. If you still haven’t switched to HTTPS connection on all your favorite web services which support it (both Facebook and Twitter have the option), we recommend you do so right now.
Besides Facebook and Twitter, the latest version of FaceNiff also works with YouTube, Amazon and Polish social network Nasza-Klasa.

what's wrong with callings them PC tablets ? not enough facebook like speak for you ? :rolleyes:
You can call them what you like, you dumb fuck. No one is listening to your insane rambling.Quote:

Think I'll hold off if the first releases are this good. The hybrid tablet / laptop is on the way. So will Windows or Linux (Android) win in the touch screen market that is the future of computing?
I like the gizmo in Post #187. Be interesting to see the final specs when it comes out.

^ Yep looks sweet. Do you know if Android can take a USB keyboard Harry?
I would think it depends on the hardware, but you can use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Galaxy Tab, so there's a workaround.Quote:

Even if Win 8 is the dogs bollocks, there will still be a dock. Touchscreens are entirely unsuitable for typing.
^ I mean for overall usage. Good touch screen interface that can also be used with a mouse and KB. So wadda ya reckon Barry, win8 will outdo Android in the touch / mouse / keyboard combined OS?
I disagree about touchscreens being unsuitable for typing. Using swype I can go about 50 wpm. Typing is about 80 so... Androis cannot match windows in the docking department?
but you do :)Quote:

As I said, keyboards can be had for all of the Android devices with Bluetooth. For some reason, on traditional PCs, Google's direction is ChromeOS.
Whereas they are diverging, Microsoft are converging.
Sorry Barry mate I wrote that last night after a night on the turps.Quote:

FACEBOOK and Twitter users face a new security headache from an Android app that allows anyone to hack social media accounts at public WiFi spots.
The developer of the FaceNiff app, Bartosz Ponurkiewicz, says on his website that the app is for educational purposes only, and urges users not to install it if it is illegal in their country.
FaceNiff enables an Android smartphone to detect any unsecured Facebook or Twitter login made on the same WiFi network by a desktop or laptop using a standard web browser.

Winamp for Android 1.1 Comes with More Free Music
Quote:
A new version of Winamp for Android is now available for download from the Android Market, with some new features and enhancements included into the mix, meant to provide users with an even better experience than before.
The new release comes with new features like Full CD Listening Party or an improved SHOUTcast, as well as with support for additional languages, and more.
All of these enhancements add to the previously introduced improvements, which included free downloads with Spinner's MP3 of the Day, among other.
The release notes for the new flavor of Winamp for Android v1.1 show:
- Additional Free Music - listen to the newest releases with Full CD Listening Party
- SHOUTcast now available on most Android 2.1 devices
- Streaming playback now powered by a new native Winamp media engine
- Updated SHOUTcast Featured Station List
- New Languages: Simplified Chinese & Traditional Chinese
With the new CD Listening Party, users will enjoy access to a great deal of free music, with full-length albums at their disposal for streaming playback.
The development team notes that users will enjoy new music each and every week, as the list of available albums is updated with new releases from the most popular artists.
“From the Home screen, select "Free Music" and then tap on "Full CD Listening Party." This week you can stream full albums from David Bowie, Depeche Mode & Def Leppard... just to name a few. Check back weekly for new free albums,” a post on the company's blog reads.
Other enhancements in the new application release involve SHOUTcast, which can deliver a better experience on Android devices through a new native streaming media engine that comes to more devices as well.
Previously, SHOUTcast was available for devices powered by Google's Android 2.2 Froyo or above platform versions, but it is now available for Android 2.1 as well.
As stated above, the new app release brings the number of supported languages up to 14: English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Romanian, Russian, Spanish & Turkish.
One thing that should be noted here is that some Motorola Droid X devices have UI issues following the upgrade to the new Android 2.3.3 platform version, and that a fix should come from Motorola.
Winamp for Android 1.1 is available for download from the Android Market.

music player - no frills - not winamp with all its sh1te I do not need
video player - full codec support for the most obscure barnyard flicks - something like betaplayer/TCPMP for winmobile
vnc client ?
Don't use any of those. Apart from the Video Player, there are tons in the Market.Quote:

anyone in BKK tried this ?

Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab Is no iPad Killer
By Clayton Morris
Published June 20, 2011
| FoxNews.com https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/06/3997.jpg
Samsung
Despite its good looks, Samsung's latest Galaxy Tab is still no match for the still peerless iPad 2.
My prediction is holding strong that we won't see a serious competitor to the iPad in 2011. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has hit the streets and it's yet another in a long line of mediocre Android tablet experiences.
I say experience because it's really the software that matters here, not the hardware. Sure, the Galaxy Tab feels nice in the the hand, it's light, it's fast, and it takes okay photos but who cares anymore about that?
Think about it. Would you put a blindfold on and walk into a Best Buy, feel around for a tablet and buy one based solely on how it feels in your hands? By that metric RIM would've sold millions of the Blackberry Playbook.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Buggy tablet no match for iPad
It has a nice display. That's great. The iPhone 4 has a gorgeous retina display but I've never heard one person say to me, "you know I'm thinking about getting an iPhone 4 because of the retina display."
The form factor of the Galaxy Tab makes little sense to me. The screen is really wide, boasting a 16:10 aspect ratio. That's fine for watching movies like Clint Eastwood's western Unforgiven with a similar aspect ratio, but it's weird for other apps like calendar where events look ridiculously stretched in portrait mode. (Back to movies in a minute).
The vertical space is also limited, so that means a smaller workspace -- and when you've got that virtual keyboard in use there's little if no space to work with. It works passably on the similarly sized Sony Vaio P laptops because the keyboard sits below the screen.
The Android Honeycomb software that powers this device is still buggy. Sure, Google's improved some of the stability issues that hindered the first go round but I still had plenty of sluggish moments. I experienced enough stuttering in the software for it to be annoying. You don't get that on the iPad. And let's be honest, no matter how you slice it, Honeycomb lacks elegance.
Apart from the software running the device there are simply too few quality third-party applications built for Honeycomb worth mentioning. Who cares if there are 65,000 Android apps that can run on Honeycomb tablets if most of them are nearly worthless when running on that same tablet?
Let's get real: almost no quality news-reading apps, no quality movie-watching apps that take advantage of that 16:10 screen, no Twitter apps worth mentioning -- and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
My job is to recommend or not recommend gadgets based on my experience using those devices. For the general consumer I can't think of a single reason to buy this device.
After all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 starts at $499. So does the iPad 2."
Android will get there, just not yet and chances are that by then Apple will have moved on as usual with new trend-setting stuff, fact is that there is Apple - and then the rest trying desperately to catch up.:bananaman: eat that cuda :)
I'm afraid I can't take Clayton Morris seriously. He's such a Steve Jobs arselicker, none of his reviews of competing products can avoid the brown stain of his collection of Apple freebies.
