Oh. My. Goat...
Take a second glance.. That's not an iPhone, it's an Android phone:
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/gooapple-phone/
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QNjPtsTaww
And the UI is even more impressive. Can you believe that it's Froyo skinned to look like iOS4?
Say what you will about the OS but this is such a faithful reproduction that it deserves serious kudos -- it's masterful. This would easily fool me upon first glance or even light usage.
This speaks to the incredible flexibility of Android, specifically its UI!
The gentle soul that made the video has a message at the end: If Nokia can cooperate with MS, why not Google and Apple? Well said, dear friend. If only... this world would be a more peaceful place...

Here's a really impressive demo of the Tab doing Augmented Reality using a standard poster as the target:
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAAxb3GqaYs
I've seen it done with symbols, though with a standard poster is quite impressive. I do wonder, however, if its tracking the flower pattern or the white border...
Either way, it's quite smooth. My only complaint is that the projection isn't fixed very well to a specific portion of the poster.

I think something else that Apple fanboys forget is that there were Android Tablets such as the Archos 7ht, Archos 5it, Ramos w7, SmartQ V5 and SmarQ V7 before the the iPad existed and that the design of iBooks copied Aldiko, and the coverflow of the iPad looks exactly like that of the Archos 5 music player. Apple and their fanboys are full $h!T.

Just to continue the Apple stealing / copying trend:
Apple pilfers rips off student's rejected iPhone app
iOS 5 lifts idea, name, even logo
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06..._rejected_app/
So, one of the main updates to iOS was stolen from a student.
Apple reaching new lows everyday

I've bought me a Galaxy Tab 7" this morn. I wasn't in a safe position thinking to hack my wife's one, because she would have crashed both femurs of mine in the case I bricked it. When I upgraded her firmware (really, her Tab's firmware, not really *her* firmware 
the time the device stayed still with the Samsung logo on, without doing anything apparently, I was quite scared, really was I! And then I discovered it wasn't Gingerbread either, but just another Froyo iteration!
Well now I have one for me to play with and eventually dismantle if I like to.
When home, 1st thing is z4root, 2nd is Titanium backup, right?
Danramos you have any other advice? Capt'n?

I would also check out what lardman is doing with getting MeeGo to run on the system!

The Tab 10.1 has a commercial:

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1X_q1DM8s8
Not bad.

It seems that Tab 8.9 may be having screen yield issues:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/10/s...-chubbier-ver/
This means that either the device will be delayed, or another variant will make it on the scene with an inferior screen!
Here's hoping that Sammy can sort something out!

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:16.
The bottom line is that there are few original ideas. Open ideas are how innovation happens. First you take something that exists and put a twist on it, or combine it with something else to make something new. Ironically, Apple seems much the culprit for taking existing ideas and dressing them up rather than creating ideas that diverge more sharply from past implementations.
Android has some outstanding innovations. APKs, the dalvik VM, the view based UI, the activity based app environment, etc, etc. I would be happy to see these ideas utilized in an open fashion by other projects, but it seems that there is a holy war going on that makes 'factions' too proud to implement a useful idea from the competition. Such is certainly the case between Linux and Android. Ugh.
