Speaking of some interesting Android related marketing videos...
SONY XPERIA PLAY
Quote of the day: "Do you feel that boob stab? I can't feel it either, 'cause my boobs are so big."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKnr8gdoxI8
ASUS EEE PAD TRANSFORMER
On a more serious and far more practical note... pretty neat!

Android May Be the Greatest Legal Destruction of Wealth in History
Bill Gurley — Bill Gurley thinks that Android is an unstoppable freight train that will prevail against all its rivals. For Google, Android is not even a product with a business plan. It's just a weapon at the service of their master domination strategy, a way to destroy any potential threats that may eventually kill their search monster. This is how they are doing it and the potential consequences.
So here is the kicker. Android, as well as Chrome and Chrome OS for that matter, are not "products" in the classic business sense. They have no plan to become their own "economic castles." Rather they are very expensive and very aggressive "moats," funded by the height and magnitude of Google's castle. Google's aim is defensive not offensive. They are not trying to make a profit on Android or Chrome. They want to take any layer that lives between themselves and the consumer and make it free (or even less than free). Because these layers are basically software products with no variable costs, this is a very viable defensive strategy. In essence, they are not just building a moat; Google is also scorching the earth for 250 miles around the outside of the castle to ensure no one can approach it. And best I can tell, they are doing a damn good job of it.
What say you, fellow androidfags?

on the flipside, their 'beta' stuffs are generally more useful, usable and stable than the competitors.

That article reads a lot like a conspiracy theory.
Any company worth its salt has contingencies and a diverse and complimentary product/service offering to increase revenue and buffer for the changing times.
Oh, and the 'destruction of wealth' is ridiculous. Wealth is byproduct of productivity, in fact this is the very measure of a nations wealth (GDP). This is why 'free' OSS (eg. linux), open standards (eg. web), or academic information (eg. academic papers), or repositories of information (eg. libraries/wiki) can increase wealth dramatically more than proprietary systems -- it lowers the cost of entry and innovation all the while speeding up technological advancement. In other words: less time, more productivity. It's value cannot be measured directly as its cost is 0.
But thanks for the article. It's a reminder why I can continue to ignore Gizmodo.

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:49.
...& include all of the great ideas from the "I don't want a Phone, just a modernized N8x0" thread from before the N900 came out.
My biggest wish was Modular connecting via BT/WiFi/ NFC whatever.
Main Bits:
Cellular modem (bring your own carrier)
CPU/Storage/Battery
Screen - pick a size to fit your needs... resistive / capacitive
-Wrist mounted display / interface (ala Dick Tracy)
-Head mounted / glasses (for the super geeky)
New cellular tech hits 4(n+1)G or you change carriers....new modem vs new device.
New screen tech ... new screen vs new device
etc....
Nook Color
CM7 Nightly
N800 (retired...soon to eBay)
Favorite Apps: CommunitySSU,DiabloTurbo, Flipclock, Keepnote, Dialcentral,
