Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?
The hate against Android for multi-tasking is actually an okay thing with me. I find that my usage on Android versus Maemo is radically different. I'm still unsure which one I favor, I liked the...

Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?
Hate to break the circlejerk with facts, but ctrl+A and ctrl+Z works in all textboxes (and other selectable areas) in Android. Many other keyboard shortcuts work as well (alt-tab, etc).

Re: The Epic Android Thread
I think I shouldn't have said all tabs with 3g - all 7" and 7.7" tabs is what I meant. Fairly sure the 8.9" and 10" ones do not.
