The best thing for apple tv is to hack it!

in fact, the best iphones are the un-appled hacked ones. Im assuming the magic slate will be the same, only good once hacked free.

Quote from: Goblin

Although Android was clearly catalysed by the iPhone, its ferocious rate of upgrades and improvements make it the only real contender worth looking at. They are not just slavishly copying features but are actively going out and trying to make the phone experience better, make it integrate better with your life. For that they should be applauded.

Android is a far far far far far better O/S than the iPhone. The iPhone one is so bad (from devs point of view) its embarrassing.
But the GUI on the iPhone is fantastic so consumers dont realize how badly it is designed.

I expect Android has a good chance of becoming the standard on these devices quite quickly.

The main problem of early tablet PCs was simply they were weighed down with windows bloat, making them heavier than they should have been and more expensive.

I would think ChromeOS will be more suitable than android. Its designed more with a larger screen and more powerful hardware in mind.

Cant wait for its full release.

The reason android is doing so well, is because its FREE!

Any manufacturer can make a phone and put android on it, saving massive dev costs (although they need to know how to make it work with their hardware of course)

2.2 Froyo is the one to watch at the moment, as even in hellabuggy (compiled from SDK) form its still 2-4x faster than 2.1

In a similar way to Mark saying that the best iPhones are the jailbroken ones, the same applies for Android.
They need to be rooted and ODEXd to get the best out of it.

My Hero running 1.5 MCR 3.2 is so so much more responsive and smoother than the stock firmware.

but we found that rediscovering Flash was much like reuniting with a high school friend; at first youve so much to catch up on, but then you realize how far youve grown apart. Adobes pre-vetted list of Flash-enabled sites do a good job of showing off the technology, but we still cant help but think the interactive elements still have a lot of catching up to do. As for video, the stream is good quality but gets fairly choppy -- especially when you check out something "not optimized for mobile viewing." Some of the HTML5 footage weve seen via the same device shows up in crisper detail and fluidity. Battery and heat are also of concern: the pre-release beta we have, according to Adobe, lacks hardware acceleration. Ergo, our beloved handset got piping hot after about 30 minutes of heavy video watching, and the battery indicator in the upper right had a sizable dent.

This is why iPhone doesnt have Flash.

Everyone has spent the last ten years complaining about how sucky Flash is, but as soon as Apple decide its not worth supporting, the haters jump in with "Waaahhh, I want Flash, Apple are being mean". Flash sucks. It sucks worse on limited hardware like phones. I have never once missed Flash in three years of having an iPhone. I have Flash blocked on my real computers too. Like the death of the floppy, someone has to be first to stop supporting it. Adobe, if they are sensible (and they are) should be throwing all their energy into making the best of class HTML5 authoring tools (theyve already started). Flash served a purpose, but it is time to start putting it out to pasture. Were not ready for a complete move away yet, but the main uses of Flash, video and games, are better served by non-wrapped codecs and native applications and move to HTML5 canvas. Itll take a while, but it will make the web a better place.

Android is rapidly becoming the standard for cell phones. Theres so many phones available for it now and more coming out and some have very reasonable subscription rates.

And it now runs on the Iphone as well...
