The Atrix and Droid X2 are arguably the best that AT&T and Verizon have to offer when it comes to Android phones. I compare both devices and go over what makes them different and what makes them the same. Check out the video below and be sure to let us know in the comments below which phone you would pick.
The Droid Incredible 2 is the followup to what was one of the first 1Ghz smartphones and had an AMOLED screen which was new for the time. The Droid Incredible 2 improves on that formula and turns out to be a pretty decent choice. Check out the review for all the details.
Only minutes after my Snow Leopard install did I notice the little icon at the top right corner that was unfamiliar to me. After a quick "click", I then saw show character viewer and show keyboard viewer. The keyboard has been in Leopard, but never turned on by default. There has been some screen shots of this keyboard before, but to put it as a default in a release of a Mac OS is something entirely unusual. So far there is no need for such a virtual keyboard unless you were planning to release a new touch screen device in the near future. The other hint toward a tablet other than the loads of stories from many reliable sources is the significant size reduction of the OS. The total OS install when not installing the language packs was just over 4GB. My last Leopard install clocked in at just over 12GB. Why would you need a slimming of an OS in an age of almost infinite storage? A tablet or similar device must be coming. The question is when. See the image of the resizable keyboard after the jump.
Apple continues to deny that they are releasing a netbook as has been rumored for some time. Apple executive Tim Cook had this to say about netbooks:
"When I’m looking at what’s sold in the Netbook market, I see cramped keyboards, junky hardware, very small screens, bad software. Not a consumer experience that we would put the Mac brand on. As it exists today, we’re not interested in it nor would it be something customers would be interested in the long term. We are looking at the space. For those who want a small computer that does browsing/email, they might want an iPhone or iPod Touch. If we find a way to deliver an innovative product that really makes a contribution, we’ll do that."
As usual we expected to get a denial from Apple, but what I think we can expect is a touch-screen device to compete with netbooks. Apple has never been one to follow the crowd and we can expect something new from them in the near future if the rumors can be pieced together as we think.
