Oh God, finally. FINALLY. It took 25 months but it finally got upgraded to the new Google bar. Wow.
Font looks like garbage on my Windows machine but I guess I should have expected that, lol.

The funny thing is that Apple has to allow it or face antitrust scrutiny.
Meanwhile Apple wouldn't ever port iTunes to Android.
It's a win-win for Google.

Considering its specs and size, $350 would have been beyond a good deal for such a tablet. $399 for the 16 gig version is just about the perfect balance for giving people a good deal without it being too ludicrously cheap. Even still, it's a helluva tablet. I'm currently pondering picking up the 16 gig version as a birthday present for my brother. It's pricey, but worth it IMO.
For my own use though, I'm likely going to wait for the Tablet Zs successor. I already have the original Tablet S 32 gig and while the Z tab destroys it in all possible ways, it's just not enough of a jump for me to go from my tablet to that one. Hopefully the Tab Zs successor will have a triluminos screen, S800 processor and the same stylus input tech used on the Xperia Z Ultra. That alone should be enough to make me make the jump.

Its even simpler than the TMo plan. You basically buy the new device in full off contract price but pay in 20 month "interest free" installments. You can choose to sell this phone later yourself or sell it back to ATT (just like lazy people who trade in cars in the dealership).
ATT basically offer you more service to make you harder to leave the carrier.
mmmm its like sex for my eyes
You know what I've always wanted?
A new play store where less information is shown; where all the apps I've ever installed are listed alphabetically in my apps section, even though I've installed them for 22 seconds; an app store where I can no longer update or uninstall from the web page; a store which is slower to load and unresponsive while loading; a store which no longer segregates installs by the device on which they were installed.
FFS.

Considering it's pretty much sold out everywhere, I think Sony got their pricing right. In fact the demand is so high they could have sold double the amount if it had been in stock.

okay, i can see how it's 'simpler', but how is it better?
the AT&T pricing already accounts for the approximate cost of the device over ~24 months! this is an additional fee on top of that, what the...
T-Mobile actually dropped rates $20 vs their previous rates so the cost of the device was pushed away from the cost of service, this seems to be AT&T just raking in fat wads of cash and stuffing them in their pockets.
everyone loved the prettier but less useful android play store so they decided to give the web store the same treatment.
Its not better when is ATT last time offer a better plan?
Keep in mind this is a 2nd phone payment plan on top of your "once every 24 months" upgrade phone.

Basically a refresh is expected any time within the next month or so. Basically imminent. I'd wait it out.

It's not that thick, it just has a camera bump which makes it look thicker.
Neat, I'll do that then! Hopefully the refresh is sooner rather than later.
Camera bumps are the fucking worst

thickest point = actual thickness
this is their 3rd phone and 3rd year like this.
first the W999 then the Jackie Chan endorsed W2013
W2013 is a lame name. It's the fucking Chinese market it should be called W9999

Come on you know you all loved having a moto razr back in the day. Now you can relive the glory days thanks to Samsung!!
but if its a non removable back, they should be able to work around the bump with a battery. Under 2000mah is not an acceptable battery
they are fine as long as they are designed around well (like the new lumia and this X)... well, also, they really need to have nice cameras if they are going to have a bump. So the X better have something worthy of that humped back

Can you stream any song Google has on sale within play music over all access?
Specifically I grew up in Africa so listen to a lot of Nigerian music which I note Google sells through the play store but don't know if it is available to stream.
Can anyone with all access check if Ekwe by stereoman us available to stream please.

Everyone in here needs to be playing the Hero Forge beta! Gameplay is so good, and it uses all of the new game G+ stuff that was announced at the Google conference back in May!

No, not any song... Just because it's for sale, doesn't mean that they also have the streaming rights.
Really? I haven't come across any music that was on sale that I can't stream.
Sep? Thats a long wait.
My body is ready.
well then, if they can release this in the US before 2015 that would be pretty awesome

no kidding huh? I suppose drfunk will probably buy it since that dude buys everything.

T-Mobile exclusive June of 2015, amirite?
Well, I can agree with this. The 1020 is fine because of the tech they're cramming in there, and because it looks good, but on any other phone it's just horrible.
yes, but if this is the rumored clear pixel sensor that is supposed to be really good its worth it... i really have no idea why we have all these engineering sample phones without pictures from it (besides the old pictures, which I hope to god aren't still accurate)
