I call shenanigans on that 4 month after Xbox launch bullsh*t 8800 Series didn't come out till end of 2006, 360 launched in 2005... Also the 8800 is still much more powerful than either GPU in the Xbox 360 or PS3(PS3 being based on a lowly 7900GTX)
@Gaucho85

lmfao don't think that'll happen.... Atleast not anytime soon. There's a huge power difference between the Droid's CPU and the Eris'

I have a feeling it would grind to a halt on something like the Eris or G1(same CPU between the 2) with all those 3D effects and animated backgrounds.
@manny83

yea, what's with the tumor on the side
I want in on this!!!
@Todd

you do realize in Android is based on an Intent system. What that means is the program such as SMS or Google Voice doesn't make direct calls to native programs, instead the call events know as Intents. What this allows developers to do is create a program which listens for certain Intents and reacts on them, effectively allowing them to handle things natively such as clicking a url in an sms or im. If you have multiple applications that do similar things, a list pops up telling you to select which program you want the even to occur in.

I dunno, maybe try using Android before you say something that isn't true. Android was created in such a way you can remove a specific default program and replace it with a 3rd party application, including the home screen.
now if only they let us know about an SDK so I can start developing!!!!!!

I'm guessing it will require connection to the Zune 4.0 desktop software to put anything on the device, and to activate the ability to access the marketplace on the device just like previous Zunes.
Yay! tomorrow can't get here soon enough! Order shipped from Newegg already with overnight delivery! :)
Love going to school for software engineering, all the free MS software I could ever want, including the RTM of Windows 7 Professional :)
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!"
