Remember that developer that made their game free on android "because of piracy"? Well what do you know: Dead Trigger goes free on iOS, where piracy is apparently also a problem. I wonder if those iOS crusaders will still suggest to give the developers more money.
What makes iOS less privacy prone? When the iPhone starts to hit "those" markets you bet your ass people will pirate games.

Also what does Apex offer that Nova Prime doesn't have?

He just wanted free press.
nah, i got rid of that a long time ago. Rarely used it and it was still worth something. 10" is too big
Windows phone with some nice growth also. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Might be old news to many by now but in an effort to clean up their old stuff and switch everything over a few new things have happened....
1) Google has dropped the mobile blog and mobile twitter
2) Google has replaced this with a new Official Android Blog!
3) Google has dropped Google Webcam Video for GTalk in Gmail
4) Google has replaced this with Google + Hangout
It's funny because my friends and I were just talking about 3 and 4 in the past few weeks. Since we all got new Android phones recently with front cameras we've been video chatting, but we keep moving back and forth from gtalk to g+. My best friend and I figured G+ was newer and it seemed better. We theorized since it was newer it was probably a different video back end than the old one created for GTalk years ago.
PS: It would be nice if somehow GTalk was rolled into Google + so we could just have one stop shop and have everything use the G+ protocols.

That's good to hear.
Totally get an N7 man.
They've been talking about it for ages, I'm hoping they're finally serious about it. Seems they might be after merging the video chats. G+ is happening rather smoothly.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
G+ is so much better because it's not straight P2P at least for video. Does G+ allow for multiple people to chat at once text wise without ever firing up video? I know there is text chat in Hangouts, but to start that doesn't it preclude you want to use video?
PS: Verizon is pushing ICS to the rezound today. Chalk that up to another device moving from the old 2.X camp to the new 4.X camp!!!

On mobile you can use messenger which allows multiple people to chat. On the desktop, it's still using talk, which does allow for group chats. This I hope is their next merge, cause it really shouldn't have been split to begin with.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I still just use the external GTalk program on my desktop to talk with my GF and some of my friends (outside of steam). Then I'm just using GTalk on my mobile. I have messenger installed, but I never use it. Maybe I should start.
As far as I know they have NFC but not the correct hardware for Google Wallet. Unless they figured out a way to make it work? I hope so..
we've been crying for it ever since G+ came out. They are so disjointed on mobile
i want to
This Google wallet is freaking awesome. You get listed reciepts for every transaction right online. And you can remotely nuke it also if you lose your phone, on top of being able to put a password on it before it can be used on your phone. I also made a few purchases and checked the timeframes before it hit my bank. Its immediate, just like swiping a card, good news because I was worried they would screw that part up.
Of course, go into settings and disable Google search. Ugly search bar is ugly.

You already have a Galaxy Nexus. Why get another one?
funny enough, that is exactly why i haven't yet
That's why switch back to the NS for phone duties.
I think it was a good choice so far.

i can never return to the land of 3G.
Don't worry, once everyone is in the LTE land you will feel right at 3G Home.
The good thing is you will probably have few years before it gets that bad.
Why would LTE ever drop to 3G speeds? That didn't happen with 2G to 3G (except with Sprint *rim shot).
Yup, it's an inplace upgrade, just go to setttings >about phone > check for update if she hasn't received a notification already.
Cool thanks, that's what I figured. Hoping she can handle that lol. If it erases her shit I'm telling her to come after you. She can be scary.

There are two things I can't currently ever due.
I could never return to a screen like my Samsung Focus had which was regular Super AMOLED pentile matrix screen.
I also couldn't ever return to 3g on a regular basis (though 3g+/HSPA/"4G" isn't AS bad).
Moving to a phone that doesn't have these two issues is like a gift from the heavens compared to what I was using.
Death to the menu button, hello zombie menu button.

So my Galaxy 2 (epic 4g touch) just updated to android 4.
I cant find something I used all the time.
Previously, in contacts, there were three screens or so.
The one screen with favorites had your favorites listed on top, and then a list of absolutely everyone else with a number showing how many times you called them.
Is this feature gone?????

I don't think there can be any question now that its button configuration is superior to that of the SGS3.
Still, it would be nice if they put a little icon in the status bar to let you know when there is a hidden menu available. I'm assuming it doesn't do that.

I've actually used up over 5 gigs of 3g data this week watching the Olympics on the Sprint GS3 (thank you Google for putting the data tracking in ICS). That is something I could never do using the Evo 3D's 3G. We don't have LTE here but that's just amazing. We DO have Wimax and at times I miss it especially now that it comes in strong at my new job :\

Dang I just saw that browsing the verge app. My nephew's are in town and they are watching Phineas so I was browsing on my phone till we swim. Didn't expect the update to be out so fast.
I posted the other day that XDA was saying it was finally coming. They said 1 to 2 weeks. This is waaayyy sooner! Downloading as I type. Hope it brings 4.0.4! Also will be interested on what kernel is used. I'll post back soon going to reboot now!!

The updated Google Wallet is so awesome. Added my debit card and was able to buy lunch today using it. Now there just needs to be more PayPass stations and I can stop carrying around my actual wallet!
BTW, for those curious, I was able to side load the app onto my unrooted Verizon Nexus and it works just fine. Screw you, Verizon!
It's in the dialer now. Bring up the dialer, swipe to the third tab and it will list your frequent contacts and then all contacts with a phone number.

Which is why I really appreciate the virtual soft keys. I find it important to have a menu button, but it does suck for normobs that you don't know which screens have extra functionality and which ones don't.
I do understand that people prefer having the screen real estate so hopefully a future version has a compromise between the two.

4 Things I've Found in the HOX Update...
1) The obvious 3 Dots for a menu can be changed to where you hold down multitask button to bring up the menu instead
2) Increased free RAM at start up which some users have said they've had way less issues with things being forced closed early
3) Speedier Home Screen
4) Max Volume has been raised
Out of the 4 the 4th is the one I like the best. I always thought the volume through the speaker was low. Calls were fine and headphones were fine. Max volume for things like ringtone/alerts/alarms etc... seemed low, and that seems to have been fixed.
I can't really comment on the battery life, but I thought I was getting great battery life on the AT&T version of the HOX before this. I'm also not sure what else 4.0.4 brings just in general over 4.0.3. I think the web browser might be better, but I just use Chrome so I wouldn't really know.
