I think you're mostly right. I'm someone who still has a PS3 and a 1080p TV. I don't play games just to see the latest and greatest visuals. In fact, I don't play a lot of games. Most recently, I bought Civ V for $12... BUT... I could see some kind of MMO idea adding strain to current systems...

Off topic - what does "RI/FI" stand for? :-) Anyway, I like Windows 8, and the vast majority of my usage is on my work laptop (no touch) and my home desktop (no touch). But on both... Installed Pokki Set media files and documents to open in Desktop apps Rarely visit the start screen...

I think that it's valid to believe that Ballmer because I feel like there are so many "almost" amazing things out of Microsoft. And somewhere, someone has to be saying "Hey, but..." and it isn't being heard by the ultimate decision makers. "Nope, we're not going to put any time testing Windows 8...

*gasp* I cannot imagine anyone saying "Windows is crap! M$!!! Blue screens! Windows Phone is bad and full of viruses!!" because of all the crappy PCs and old versions... Ooo that reminds me, now that Microsoft lost money on the Surface, will "M$" become a thing of the past?!

Overall that's about 2.6% dividends annually...

What I would really hope Microsoft would have figured out was that the irritation (at least for me) was not so much the Start Screen but rather the fact that opening anything from the Desktop would often take you to a Metro app... bad but not the worst part. Then... you CLOSE the Metro app and...

I got the update about a week ago. AT&T is obviously the hold up. You're welcome - I love stating the obvious.

Did you watch a lot of 3D content before you turned 6?!

Here's a video review: http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/dell-venue-pro-hardware-review-video They also have an "unboxing" video.

"Best" depends on budget. The G2, myTouch, Vibrant and HD7 are all good for internet and texting. The G2 might have an edge because of the hardware keyboard (though different people have different preferences and abilities in that respect.) The first three also have Swype which some people like...

Other than some previews, hands-on and YouTube user reviews, I have a hard time finding reviews. It seems Dell doesn't understand that they need to sent handsets out to get them reviewed... and get them in stores for people to hold in their hands! Do any of you have this phone? Can you tell...

Hey, I'm still using old Logitech 4.1 speakers that NEVER seem to work right with the software. A lot of programs and games somehow only send sound to the front two speakers even though Windows can send a sound to each speaker individually. I've tried discrete sound cards and onboard sound with...

T-Mobile has good rates in general. I pay $30 for 500 minutes, $10 for unlimited text (I sent/received 3000 last month) and if I get "unlimited" data it's just $20... and I am near WiFi much of the time and don't care about tethering. If I'm out of range of WiFi I don't want a laptop, I want to...

Exactly! I think the summary was worded poorly to give that impression...

Yes it's a social network but the "competing" part is crap, if you ask me. It's a specialized web site for teachers. It might even improve our education system. If Business wins over Education... we all lose.
