I would really like to see someone develop (if it doesn't already exist) a Google account switcher for Chrome. I would just click a button on the toolbar and choose which Google account I want to be signed in with.
Google translate extension works great on FF too.

Akiva ... once again ... use chromium and you have extensions

Is this built by Google? Or did someone hack this together? They said it wasn't ready for standalone use on the announcement the other day...

The beta app has been available for several months through the Evernote Forums - and it has been quite stable. Btw., as of today the Evernote application is also available in Android Market. Great app!

LOL, sounds like your G1 is suffering from droidenvyitis. It's a common malady among older phones.

If the Nexus One is less than $200 I'll probably grab in in February to get me through the end of my TMo contract

I was thinking the same thing, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I don't want a device without a physical keyboard. Major reason is that the virtual keyboard covers up over half the screen when in use. I have no problems entering URLs and such with a VK, but as far as writing emails and comments... no way. #efdatshit
- Adrian
The voice to text dictation is supposed to be something special though.
- Matthew DeVries
That's all fine and good, but there is nothing to lose by having a real keyboard (and I don't mind bulk). Also, with a larger screen, generous keyboard, and a trackball playing the likes of Doom and Quake becomes much more viable than with VK controls. Ok maybe that's not a major consideration but still... :D
- Adrian
I hope this lasts like bit.ly or is.gd. I hope it doesn't fail like tr.im. I'm happy to see Google into the url shortening business.

I skipped, 4.2.7 and 4.2.7.1 but jumped on this one as there were relatively scant horror stories on xda-dev. So far so good! Really digging the app launcher reskin.

Only two I have issue with is putting wasabi in my soy sauce and dipping the rice in the soy. Only reason I do those is because I never get enough of either, but I'm not usually at a sushi bar ,either :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Man, I went to a niiiiiiiiiiice sushi place in New York and sat up at the bar -- and my neighbor just *dunked* his nigiri in the soy sauce, rice-side down. And this after the sushi chef told him that the nigiri already came seasoned. =P

This comment is from another site where the excerpt is found regarding why this hasn't been bigger in the news - "Because the people that would care can't lower their opinions of her any further, and the people who admire her won't care (or likely would sympathize)."
- Kenton
i think this hasn't been bigger in the news because asians aren't a significant enough voting bloc. when's the last time you heard that a group of asians will affect voting outside of hawaii, little saigon and chinatown?

I've seen white folks get blatantly ridiculed for being white in Hawaii - I don't blame her. Edit: objective piece on Palin's autobiography and why we should be terrified for 2012. Palin is the female George W. Bush. http://j.mp/61ANmh

I'm trying to ease off on my knee-jerk reaction to those sorts of things, solely because of the iPhone. I can't count how many times I've sent something with an absurd grammatical error simply because the helpful autocorrect got it wrong, and since I do pretty much everything on the phone these days, I feel like I've gotta give people some benefit of a doubt or two.

"Never before has anyone really attacked networks like Verizon did. It was always about the phone itself. My phone can MMS, my phone can browse the web, my phone can work anywhere in the world. But Verizon hit hard and said it doesn’t matter if you have an amazing cell phone, your network is shit and it won’t work where or when you want it to. T-Mobile also isn’t earning cool points while their subscribers continue to leave because their phones have gotten so bad and their brand is getting diluted as there’s no clear strategy. Get More? Come on. Motorola CLIQ? They’d be lucky if they moved 175,000 of those things since release. Behold II? The BlackBerry 9700 is the only thing T-Mobile has right now and that isn’t even a conquest device as AT&T offers it, so it’s a wash. Bring on the awesome ads that will make people stay on your network, ads that really connect with us and make us say, “You know what, I like T-Mobile, I’m going to ride this out.” It was a mistake getting rid of...

"Japan, second-largest economy in the world, the land of QR-codes, mobile payments and (soon) 4G networks. Here in the West, we hear many rumors about the state of mobile in the Land of the Rising Sun – often about superiority of its mobile ecosystem and hardware. Recently Mobify got a chance to visit, attending Mobile Monday Tokyo and MCPC. What we saw was surprising – it seems that the Japanese smartphone market is about to undergo a major transformation, embracing Android. Here’s why..."

All this stuff is for naught when the stuff I talked about today becomes more widely accepted. oAuth is just a temporary solution.
- Jesse Stay
I linked to your story in the article. I understand that your suggestion is part of the broader scope. But you can see people are getting quite frustrated about getting the authentication solution solved.
- Louis Gray
Thanks for the link. Yeah - the need is definitely there. I think these guys will continue to fight while the Information Card issue becomes more widely accepted. I think I'll do a blog post on why I think oAuth will be dead in a few years when you can control authorization on the client.

Just tried that VMware chrome OS image, it is a SUSE Linux distribution with GNOME, GDM is customized with Google Chrome logo, and also Google Chrome browser, that's it for now :S.
- Orlando Pozo
Arg! I can confirm, it's a fake (the live cd) :(

Let's see Brandon, I am anxious to test this thing :)

The build is also pretty broken. It is missing a bunch of the Google packages like google-gflags. I am almost done with a build - we'll see :)
- Bret Taylor
I built it earlier, check it out at: http://gdgt.com/google... And we just released a VirtualBox and Bootable USB image (not mentioned in that TC article).

Isn't it Steve Jobs and Apple who's making you want an Android device?

It really bugged me that cellphones are a zero-sum device. If I want an Android 2.0 device I need to give up my iPhone. Then I remembered the iPod Touch (or an iPhone without a sim card that's nearly the same thing) and I realized that maybe I can have it all...

ffcode, kind of. It just happens sometimes for fun. It kind of builds community because you can see everyone's contribution to a topic. Sometimes, they can be annoying, too ;)

What Monique said! Joey, I'm fighting something too, but I'm hoping it's not actually flu (regular or extra-swiney.) Lots of sleep and liquids is my plan.

I've got the cold too, Joey. I know how you feel atm. :-(
