  9. @idpang
    yea but you could do this 2 years before the iphone could

  10. what was the book scanning app called?

  11. @idpang no you can’t. ios isnt open source.

  12. wowwww u can also do this on the iphone omg!!!

  13. @genbowl What you say is true about most of them being useless ones, BUT, the iPhone has better games than android market. I just switched to the HTC aria from the iPhone 3gs and the games on android aren’t nearly as fun as the iPhones but maybe i haven’t found the fun ones yet. Android has alot more free apps which i love. Everything else is better about android is better but apples app store has the upper hand….for now. I’m sure android will be far ahead it in a few years =)

  14. @genbowl I can agree about that. The 10-15 minutes what I tried iPhone 4 of my friend and tested AppStore, I got feeling that I need really to browse apps to find interesting.
    I am more about application programs for myselfs, but not for games. So I wish I could filter all games away. There is somekind way for that but I didn’t remember to ask how to do it. That is something why I feel that none of todays different apps stores provide usability as they are more for games than the real use apps.

  15. Seriously in my opinion apples app store has a large amount of apps but most of them are crappy and shitty useless ones. That’s y app store sucks.

  16. @dandonicus android has fewer apps, better marketplace, and more quality. iPhone has a really weird and slow “approving” of apps, more apps.

  17. Which phone is better for apps? Android or Iphone?

  18. I’m sure these engineers are actually androids themselves.

  19. @JackBauerUSA1 You think that is impressive, I was watching movies on a tv before your pda even came out and I was reading these books off paper even years before you got that palm pda. Then theres computers, the device that wrote the book on doing things.

    (If you don’t get it, get it nobody gives a shit faggot fuck yourself and your shitty old gadgets)

  20. i was ones in google’s office and the dino was covered in pink flamingos jajajaja
    google is the best place of the earth!!

  21. Please make an ap for finger boarding (skateboard with finger app). Something like iGrind on the apple app store.

  28. See why couldnt we have this instead of the stupid Windows mobile 7 on the HD7! i mean im not a fan of android .. but after seeing win mo 7 it just made appreciate android interface more lol . I cant believe Microsoft, do they not think in their head..Winmo7 looks shit! its like a interface from an old Atari console of the 80’s . i will still buy the HD7 ..just because maybe..there could be a way to change its interface one day. Oh EVO! i always wanted this but its only for the US :(

  29. @TheVladoKing the GAYEST grammar ever! or…is that EVAR?? Dude, you used ONE period correctly. Just ONE! The other two that you got are probably your fingers twitching and landing on a period accidentally. Damn man. It’s so bad that it’s actually so funny. hahah

  30. @tibta4tibta got plenty of dropped calls on my galaxy. so bad that I’m actually switching companies and phones. and that GPS fix that we got…it screwed up my phone even worse now. to the point that its lagging so bad sometimes that I have to restart my phone.

  31. Heeeeey there everybody….hahah love it. :D he says it at the beginning of everything. :D

  32. yea why wont you shut the fuck up you piece of shit stop using all these big words to suscribe your gay iphone if your from fuckin at&t and tryin to hate on the evo go suck verizons slash hoe and if your from verizon go suck t mobile chod ..sprints the best so dont hate and stop actig like yo dont know who im saying this to DEATHSKWID really ?> the gayyest name ever dude wow.

  35. I will be getting an Evo 4G in couple more weeks (I’m switching wireless carriers specifically for this smart phone).

  36. @rnawky Ah, whatever. It’s like saying beautiful flowers don’t exist among mud. The lotus disproves that. There’s never “all” or “none”. I know not all iPhones are bad. :)

  37. @DeathSkwid You know, I don’t have a case on my phone and I’ve actually never had a call drop, ever.

  42. At last!…Today i recieved 2.2 update from t-mobile uk on my Desire and i have to say i have noticed a huge difference in performance along with the extra features that come with it, it has made my phone run much more efficiently. I love it!

  43. after watching this vid… i can say that this is the worst presentation i have ever seen. ‘oh, hey, cool… nice’.

  44. no one cares about the build number… show the features.

  45. @YOUNGTAYORCHICAGO Sorry I didn’t clarify – I plugged the phone into my MacBook Pro then put it in sleep mode. It continues to charge and takes very minimal battery power.

  46. @LbCYa562 Plugged it into my MacBook Pro – it will charge even while in Sleep mode.

  47. @clokverkorange But if the power went out, how were u gettin power to ur phone? A Generator or wha?

  48. @krazygreen should have got that Nexus one!
