Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
So I am a little confused. Feature phones outsell smart phones not because they are simpler. They outsell them because they are cheaper. Which also explains why a phone like the Centro was such a huge hit (Smartphone, cheap = success, dated os be damned) .
Sonar looks like a good idea if it worked on real feature phones. You know like a razr or one of the many cheapo samsung / lg / sony etc etc phones.
The problem there is you are not going to get a webkit instance running on a cheap phone. That requires some serious cpu horsepower which cheap phones cannot afford. So what gives ? Why would I get a Android phone, get features removed and still pay the same price ? There are enough twitter / facebook clients. Sure synergy on non palm phones is a nice feature but is there all there is ?
The real innovation here isn't the interface, although it's very nice. It's the idea of moving the stuff that is done better on a bigger screen to a bigger screen. I would say that the idea of very easy skinning is appealing as well (to carriers.)
