Perhaps because you can't house an entire library of 4.5M books in your pocket? Perhaps because - regardless of how many books that exist in the library, only a very small percentage of them are actually relevant for you?

But hell, if it makes you buy an ereader, I'm sure someone out there can generate 22M titles of gramatically correct randomly generated sentences and then it would be 5 times better than your local library because it has 5 times more titles?

It's been up since this afternoon.

What kind of satellite constelations do they have? Is it bent-pipe ala Globalstar (aka no calls unless their sat can see both you and a ground-based place, so no calls from the middle of the ocean) or a true sat constellation like irridium where you can place calls anywhere?

I've run the flash player on my android device. It's limited, and it doesn't play sites like Hulu or any flex apps I've tried. Admittedly, I don't have a hero - but the only effect I have noticed is that it slows down any page that has flash banner ads to a crawl and has nothing worthwhile in it.

Part of the problem is that it identifies itself as some funky version of flash that breaks a lot of detection scripts. It identifies itself as "AFL 9,1,122,0" (but does identify that it is video and audio capable) -

On the HTC Dream (which has half the ram of the Hero, so will not perform nearly as well) the flash version checking page takes about 2 or 3 minutes to load.)

"The main difference is that the file will have your e-mail and name attached to it's metadata to prevent piracy (in iTunes, right click on a song, select "Get Info", and it will list your personal info right along with the bit-rate and date modified/ imported information). So if you upload your "plus" songs to Bittorrent, don't say I didn't warn you.."

The metadata isn't signed or hashed in any way, correct? Editing metadata does not require a CS degree..

I think I'm going to start posting files on Bit Torrent with "Steve Jobs" and "steve.jobs@apple.com" in the metadata... ;)

A Cannon SD870 pwns this thing. It's smaller, has a 28mm lens, and much better low-light performance.

Throw CHDK on it, and it shoots RAW, can run custom scripts (such as motion detection... etc.) - and has generally has features that would make this camera wet its pants.

Oh... and it costs half as much.

You're welcome.

Good luck recruiting talent in the middle of imbredland.

"All rights not expressly allowed the government belong to the PEOPLE. That means driving *IS* a right."

You have a right to drive, sure... just not on the roads that the government provides. Nobody is going to take away your right to drive your car back and forth in the driveway - but once you get onto public roads you don't have a god-given right to drive on them.

What OS does it run? WM like the Dash? I had a dash for a while, but the OS sucked so bad I ditched it and went back to my Symbian UIQ3 phone (SE P990i)

I would rather disembowel myself with a rusty dull pocket knife than use a Winblows Mobile device again.

Sorry to break it to you, but prostitutes don't give you money.
