Digi ! I haven't checked in here at B3D in years (literally) and just thought I'd see what's going on. Damn, man...glad you got through all that...
I would say it's about the degrees of support for BC. I will say that no, full hardware support for BC is not a requirement for next gen....
To be clear, I'm not suggeting that XB3 needs 100% support for all legacy game downloads OOTB with no intervention from developers. What I think...
Agreed. I personally consider it important (again, moreso for the on-line content, but also to at least some degree with physical media...
Again, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
That's not a fair question. I could say the topic is answered with this question: If MS and Sony deliver the exact same console....all play...
My question was rhetorical. It didn't stop them from nuying Windows 7 because the version of office you use on Vista (or XP for that matter) runs...
That's not the issue. No one is saying that xbox 360 users are expecting that all new content made available on the 720 shuould also be made...
Yes, but I have a pretty good idea on what users expect it to be. In short, I'm putting my stake in the ground and saying that at least...
On one hand... On the other... And there we go. The issue with respect to this generation of consoles is that people ARE buying digital...
The risk all depends on how much people have invested in PSN titles / PSN DLC. I think it's pretty obvious that Microsoft has more at risk than...
Interesting thread... I'm going to for the most part take TheChefO's side...that is, that BC should and will be an important aspect of next...
I can see that as well. If the intention is to stretch the "overlap" between generations though, this would put a higher emphasis on backwards...
I see lots of posts that basically indicate that whether or not 2012 is too early depends on the state of component (chip) availability. I don’t...
For me, the 7 inch size turned out to be "right". It's much more comfortable for me to use than 10 inch tablets...more portable. More options...
Try rebooting your phone (battery pull for sure). That usually refreshes the app world cache...
Blackberry World Keynote in progress (twitter feed): http://crackberry.com/blackberry-world-2011-keynote-live-blog Some highlights... *...
May 2nd.:wink: Available now on AppWorld....
BBM is now available via the bridge. You'll need the latest (just released) BBM client on your phone and and updated bridge app on your phone as...
The zune pass gives you complete streaming access to the entire zune catalog for $15/month. That $15 also includes 10 downloads per month. (The...
I spent some time in BestBuy today playing with one. (Just got back from a Utah vacation so this was my first opportunity to try one.) Was...
Actually, I read that by default bridging is enabled. You can set the flag on BES to disable bridging. That being said, you will need to...
I don't beleive (and Mize seems to confrim) there are separate "voice" and "data" services. They are both just "data" services/streams... It's...
I can at least verify that when I use my CDMA blackberry as a tethered device to my PC, the blackberry no longer receives e-mails / BBMs until the...
On the other hand, a bit of let down for me...I just learned (at about 50:45) that apparently for phones on CDMA networks (Verizon) you won't be...
Seems I'm not the only one who has issues with type input on tablets: AnandTech Requesting Solutions to "Input Problem" My thoughts exactly....
I'll resist the urge to ask what kinds of books you're reading and what you're doing with your other hand....:cool:
Got it...that's what I assumed (I was trying to see if I was missing some other physical way to hold these things other than the obivious...)...
How are you physically holding the tablet and doing this "pseduo touch type" at the same time?
Maybe I need to spend more time with it...but it's just not comfortable for me to do that. Or maybe I just have small hands. :)
In other words, does something like Thumb Keyboard for Android exist on the iPad? That's the only way that I can see typing being effective and...
Really? I'm looking at different tablet form factors now, and one of my "issues" with 10 inch tablets is the awkwardness of typing. With...
Not currently. (There is no app I'm aware of). However, I believe this feature is supposed to be integrated into to the next point release...
For the record, I do pay verizon for an unlimited data plan including tethering, so I'm not worried about anyone cracking down on me. ;) I'm...
To what phone? (iPhone only?) What app is used or is it a native feature of the OS?
This is also worth a look: http://www.mediamonkey.com/
On a related note...do WiFi only Android or iPad devices allow this? (Are there android or iPad apps that allow internet access through a...
Well, my concern isn't so much native e-mail client support...it's accessing the internet when there's no wifi available. I don't want to buy...
It also gives the "Blackberry-Android App World" a chance to mature prior to Rim releasing QNX based smartphones (late 2012?) which presumably...
This has almost solidified my decision to purchase a playbook. My main concern was the availability of apps....but if the "app player" does a...
I'd like to move an XBox 360 profile (not an XBOX Live profile) from an xbox 360 hard drive to an XBox Arcade unit (built in 256 MB memory). Can...
Hi Tommy, A W-9 is not to apply to get an EIN. A w-9 is what you give to Microsoft so that they can report to the IRS any payments they make to...
As a life-long Giants fan...I still haevn't come down off the high yet. This was one of the most improbable play-off runs in NFL history...going...
That's not prehistoric. My ColecoVision had b/c with the Atari 2600 if you bought the expansion box. ;) Bottom line is (as has been bandied...
Well hell, I was thinking at least s-video now-a-days would come if not in addition to composite, along with it. Hell, why composite? Why...
Yeah, same problem here...of course I could just use the composite cable for a couple days and wait for the component...but...I just want to be...
Ugh...I didn't realize that the only cables that Wii came with are composite! I will certainly be getting at least s-video...but is there any...
I was just going to say...it's not going to be the kids that need the timer. :) I've got Gears, Halo3, BioShock, Viva Pinata, Assassin's Creed,...
Thanks for the link. I'm still waking up after the shock of the released DNF teaser video...
Yeah, once I get a better feel for how Live works (the kinds of content, Parental controls, etc.) I'll likely be setting up Silver accounts for...
