Re: Internet cleaning for Honeycomb tablets???

Ccleaner is a registry cleaner/extension fixer/program manager and start-up routine manager for windows based operating systems, not just a cache emptying tool for your windows based browsers. You do not need this on any of the android browser (or browser for any other mobile OS that I'm aware of). ...

Re: HOLY GUACAMOLE! - Meet the new Asus Transformer Prime Ta

Sometime next year I will probably be replacing my macbook with a high end tablet with ICS. The tfp will be the baseline for my requirements. :thumbsup: Interesting. I still need to replace my laptops at some point but still haven't made up my mind on what exactly I want. I thought I wanted a full ...

Re: Galaxy Nexus / ICS Launch thread

Cool! I have been reading that some people are finding a few bugs with it, but it's still unclear if it's hardware or software. I did see that 4.0.3 is already out. 4.0.3 is due out today and it is supposed to fix some things (mainly background stuff and add developer tools). As for stuff i wish wa...

Re: Galaxy Nexus / ICS Launch thread

how's the screen compared to the SGSII? aside from size. I also hear there's problems playing some 720p (some formats) movies on the Galaxy Nexus. No clue on the videos (didn't test that), but I found the screen to be brighter and sharper. The colors seems more vibrant (almost like sharp primary co...

Got a chance to play with the demo model today. WOW, this is one nice phone. It is big, but no bigger than the newest high end Android phones. It seems bigger because the damn thing is all screen.

I wonder if there is a way to use automated software to do the buying for you in order to cut through the rush (something like the bidding software many use for auctions).
