Droid Incredible review -- Engadget - http://www.engadget.com/2010...

Suresh S, Turkish Delight, Gabor Cselle and 29 other people liked this
"Let's just put this out there: the Droid Incredible is the best Android device that you can purchase in America right now. It's better than the Droid, better than the Nexus One, and certainly beats the pants off of any previous generation handsets like the Eris, myTouch, or Cliq. It's not just a very, very good Android phone (though it is); it's also an excellent smartphone no matter how you cut it."

But what will I do with my Droid if I get one of these? Turn off the Verizon plan and use it as a very tiny iPad?
- Rob Shillingsburg
Subtext: It comes in a family of phones. Also included: Droid Pretty Good and Droid Acceptable.
- Louis Gray
The Droid Pretty Good and Droid Acceptable would still be a better choice than a closed-sourced iPhone. ;-)

What's next? Droid Awesome? Droid Awesomer? Droid Amazing? Droid Uncanny?
- Piaw Na
Just how much more awesome is it than the Nexus One? Cause if I was in the market for a new Android phone right now I would be leaning towards the N1 just because I suspect Google would be better about issuing OS updates for it.

"As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they'd broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head. I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn't get up. He'd try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he'd get killed. No one seemed to be helping him."

"Skiff Reader: The Ultimate E-Reader | If you bought an Amazon Kindle DX in 2009, prepare for a heavy dose of buyer’s remorse. The Skiff Reader has overtaken the Amazon Kindle DX as the largest e-reader on the market, but its size isn’t what makes the Skiff so special. The Skiff Reader brings two new technologies to the large-scale e-reader market: a touchscreen e-ink display and “silicon thin-film-transistors on a flexible steel substrate”. The Skiff Reader pushes the e-reader standard by featuring a full touchscreen display spanning 11.5-inches. The Amazon Kindle DX and smaller Kindle models don’t feature touchscreen e-ink, neither does that Barnes and Noble Nook (while the latter has an LCD touchscreen below the e-ink portion). This provides a new, finger-friendly world of navigation as you flip pages, highlight and select content modules and skim through your favorite ebooks."

Wow, if that's for real, I'm super jazzed. I've wanted a large high-res ebook reader for ages.

Nice. You could fit that inside the case of a MacBook air. I wonder what the update rate on that e-ink screen is though. [edit] Oh... it's not e-ink, it's TFT. Does that mean real-time updates? Wow X 2.

- Morgan
Looks like they're setting up their own store: http://www.skiff.com/skiff-s.... So could be yet another proprietary format to add to Kindle/Sony/etc. Ugh on that.

Rumor has it that the company making this thing is owned by the Hearst Corporation, who refer to this cryptically, as the device they expect will save the newspaper publishing industry from being destroyed by free news on the Internet. Expect plenty of DRM. Additionally, the software on the device will allow advertising to be "injected" into content. I am not sure if that means that if...

- Lindsay
The only company that's really managed to share DRM across technology platforms is Microsoft I think. Even then, the 'plays for sure' program didn't really last that long. I guess when you have the dream of ultimate control over your end-user's usage, sharing that with others isn't really something people like to do.
- Matt M (inactive)
Metal screen is very promising. I'm still curious about refresh rate, cost, DRM, etc. It looks like an awesome e-reader, but it doesn't look like a general purpose computing device (and it really ought to be)
- Jason Wehmhoener
This doesn't seem to use e-ink though - it's a TFT LCD screen, from the specs. Might mean that it's got an impressive refresh rate, but possibly worse sunlight readability.
- Matt M (inactive)
refresh rate for e-ink varies quite a bit from one ereader to another. i bring it up because i have doubts about e-ink as a viable technology, frankly.
- Jason Wehmhoener
+1 Jason
- Todd Hoff
Then I guess I'll wait for the next thing after eInk. I looked at a Sony reader the other day, and it took almost as long to refresh the page as it did to read the page (only a slight exaggeration, seriously). I read books on my iPhone and there's no refresh at all. It's right there. Why can't they use that?
- Jandy
Regardless, this thing just looks cool :)
- Jan Ole Peek
Jandy, exactly. The only reason people are buying the kindle is because they want cheaper books and they don't own an iphone, think the iphone screen is too small, or don't realize you can use an iphone to read kindle books. e-ink has nothing to do with the popularity of the kindle. ereaders were not considered as a going concern when sony was doing this. the difference is Amazon and...

- Jason Wehmhoener
I'm not saying an iPhone is a direct competitor to a Kindle or Sony reader, just that the time I've spent reading books on it was more enjoyable than the time I spent testing a Sony reader (granted, not that long, but long enough to be dismayed by the screen blinking at me for three or more seconds between pages). Plus, if I were to buy something like this, I would absolutely want it to...

Jason, I think you missed my point. The kindle is popular because kindle books are cheap. Period. No other reason.

Well we're getting there with these e-readers but his one is not colour and still too big. Cut it in half!
- Kol Tregaskes
In fact if there was some way of expanding/collapsing the size then that would be ace! This bendy feature would be good though, it would last longer if I used it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
The size of a paperback reading book is what I'm thinking. That's where I would like to use it (as well as browse the net - if possible - or read newspapers, etc.).
- Kol Tregaskes
It would even be nice if it folded in half or something. That way, you could turn it landscape and read two smaller (approximately paperback-sized) pages or you could turn it portrait and read a single PDF-type letter-sized document. Fold it in half and put it in your bag to carry it around.
- Curdy G
cool !
- ★ Soner Gönül
If it's crippled with DRM'd and doesn't support popular open formats, it'll be another pass for me. I actually don't mind minimal DRM too much for purchased books, but I shouldn't be restricted in any open formats I wish to view and there definitely shouldn't be any passing of data back to the mothership.

I have more discussions here than on Twitter, and I think that's true for a lot of people.

And @Scoble: the fact that you don't get 12 000+ followers on FF makes it less attractive to social media marketing types, which actually makes it BETTER as a platform for meeting and interacting with real people.

I have to excuse myself for not being very active for quite a while: I was being busy organising the Dutch Bloggies. I do think FriendFeed is still alive, but I sure wished there were more Dutch people to keep up a conversation with. It's making it difficult, now I'm out of organising for a week, to start up being involved again. I'm jealous at the Egyptian & Italian people, who seem to have a whole community here.

@Dennis - In case you weren't aware, the handle Crash Override is from the movie Hackers with Jonny Lee Miller, Matthew Lillard and Angelina Jolie (with Fisher Stevens as the evil corporate hacker and Penn Jillette in a small role as his assistant). Although much of it was ridiculous from a technology perspective, it was still a really fun movie with a fantastic soundtrack (the soundtrack itself actually has two sequels).

Beyond that, IE6's support for modern web standards is very lacking…." Or as IEEE Spectrum Twitter follower The GT put it: "Loathe IE6 with a passion.

"Three days later, at an all-company meeting in the same amphitheater, Hastings announced that there would be no Netflix Player. Instead, he would spin off the device, letting developer Anthony Wood take the technology and his 19-person team to a small company Wood had founded years earlier called Roku. But Netflix, which had already begun streaming movies to users' PCs, was hardly giving up on the idea of streaming them to televisions as well. Instead, the company would take a more stealthy—and potentially even more ambitious—approach. Rather than design its own product, it would embed its streaming-video service into existing devices: TVs, DVD players, game consoles, laptops, even smartphones. Netflix wouldn't be a hardware company; it would be a services firm. The crowd was stunned. In half an hour, Hastings had completely reinvented Netflix's strategy."

It's fun to dream of a day when cable companies and satellite content providers are out of business. I've been really impressed with Netflix's Watch Now service. The breadth of content available is impressive and combined with newer release TV and films via DVD mail the service is powerfully poised to replace cable and satellite.... one of these days hopefully.
- Thomas Hawk
It's endless though -- if cable and satellite companies go out of business or are no longer in the content supply business -- there will be a new evil supplier.
- Brian Sullivan
Look at it another way: if cable companies go out of business, who provides the pipe to deliver the content? The vast majority of people in this country get broadband via cable. Replacing them would require a huge infrastructure investment from somebody. Who's going to do that? Phone companies? Maybe, but they're shilling their own content services and aren't interested in being dumb pipes for everyone else's content.
- The original Kevin
@ Kevin Pedraja: Electric companies if they can get approvals. I think there are a lot of lawsuits right now trying to block the powerline companies saying it's unfair competition.
- ChiliMac
Netflix and TIVO with over the air content has made me very happy. Yes, I miss ESPN and I miss seeing some Cubs games that are on ComCast sports but I can go to bars for that. I LOVE not sending ComCast $100 a month.
- ChiliMac
@Cristo good point. Personally I've got CNBC all day at the office so that's less important to me, but I suppose much of the info from CNBC could be gotten via the Web, even their website. In terms of Monday Night Football, that one's easy for a big chunk of America (although not all). Do like I did and buy a cheap OTA HDTV antenna and then capture the signal via your Media Center PC or TiVo. As a bonus you get to skip all the commercials.
- Thomas Hawk
Kevin, if the cable companies go out of business then they sell the pipes to someone else who can more intelligently manage them. Personally I'm using AT&T's uVerse offering right now for internet and it's much faster than cable anyways. Maybe by the time they go out of business their pipes will be antiquated technology as well.
- Thomas Hawk
The ecosystems of networks gets larger: netflix is a network. Realtime is next.
- Cliff Gerrish
from iPhone
Thomas, but that's sorta my point. AT&T is an alternative, but they're not interested in being a dumb pipe. They want you to pay for UVerse. And do you think their prices wouldn't go up if they weren't competing with cable? The bottom line is that selling bandwidth isn't a good business. Companies make money from all the services they layer on top of it.
- The original Kevin
And an antenna is great if all you want to watch is broadcast network TV. How many people do that nowadays? Not many.
- The original Kevin
Christo, Ah, good point. I don't watch sports generally speaking so I wasn't even aware that they were on ESPN, last I remember Monday Night Football was on ABC. I think businesses will still have a need for specialty programming like CNBC. But like the Bloomberg terminal that sits on my desk, I suspect that those offerings will become increasing tailored for specific business customers...

- Thomas Hawk
AT&T is more than just a dumb pipe in terms of what I pay them. It's an obscene amount of money between my fiber internet, 2 iPhones in the house and a landline that we sort of have to keep alive for now so that the kids or babysitter can phone us from home if need be.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, agree on uVerse. But it's coming. Fiber is the future not cable.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, exactly. And in lots of cities and towns, cable providers have negotiated deals with municipal governments that effectively make them local utilities. There's no direct competition by mutual agreement.
- The original Kevin
So Thomas, essentially you just traded DirecTV for AT&T?
- The original Kevin
Cristo, I thought it was illegal to ban dishes, or is that just for single family dwellings? I wouldn't want Uverse personally, for a variety of reasons including that they already see too much of my traffic ;)

@Kevin. Well, yes, I traded DirecTV for uVerse, but the bill is lower and I get fast internet service with it. Plus I was able to cancel my DSL service that I was formerly paying for. I'm not sure exactly what I pay for uVerse, but it's a heck of a lot less than I used to pay for DirecTV and slower DSL internet service combined.
- Thomas Hawk
Good question Cristo. I'll have to check at home tonight and report back.
- Thomas Hawk
@Cristo: Yes I have internet. Not with Comcast.

They advertise lower, but I think when all is said and done it's about $50-60 for basic cable and Internet.

Despite how crappy their internet service is, my dad is still willing to stick to Time Warner because of League Pass and the ability to watch every single NBA game during the season. Time Warner even provides his telephone service. I still think it's going to be a while before cable dies.
- Victor Ganata
I tell you what I don't miss with Netflix though is commercials. I've become so spoiled from watching TV series via Netflix with no commercials that I'm finding myself bummed out these days even having to push the fast forward button on the Media Center remote for the OTA content. Even having to listen to 3 or 4 seconds of an ear splitting commercial before I quickly push the fast forward button feels like a pain compared to how fluid the commercial break transitions via Netflix.
- Thomas Hawk
That's a Huge point Thomas. Commercials (and lower quality) are exactly the reasons I don't watch much TV and movies on the Internet.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I actually like fast forwarding through the commercials and occasionally seeing one I find entertaining.

"Fox crams 18 commercials into every Sunday night airing of The Simpsons, earning 54 cents per viewer. But, according to research firm Sanford C. Bernstein, Fox airs just three commercials for the same show on Hulu--a site it co-owns with NBC Universal and Disney--earning a measly 18 cents per viewer." - Huh, I had no idea Hulu was already doing that well, relatively speaking, in per-viewer revenue.
