The Lenovo w8 tablet can run real photoshop and steam games. What can Nexus 7 do?

So an unforeseen wall of switching from iphone to android on t-mobile is the 1mb limit to mms. My girlfriend and I send gifs back and forth all the time, so this limit has gotten pretty annoying pretty fast. Are there chat apps that play animated gifs inline? Should she download hangouts on iOS and use that? What would be the easiest thing to do here?
Edit: so she installed hangouts, and actually this is the best because we can chat on gmail now and our phones with gifs inline. Problem solved

Last year's price is meaningless because it's still a great deal and an even better tablet. Also, the display isn't inferior because it's a proper aspect ratio. The N7 is just a big phone and apps look ridiculous on it. Hideous little thing.
I can't stand iOS. It's so limited and clunky. Everything feels disjointed. I do love the mini, though. Great form factor. But ha, yeah, I do hold a funny position.
Have you jailbroken your iPad? The UI/launcher is very customizable once your jailbreak it. It still lack widgets and working themes, but I wouldn't call jailbroken iOS7 limited.

I don't want to mess with jailbreaks anymore. It was always a pain having to wait to upgrade, figuring out leaks, etc. It is cool, for sure, but it's more hassle than it's worth to me. Plus I really like how my Google stuff runs on Android, multitasking, unique power apps. My issues with my N10 stem from hardware.
I like iOS7's look. Really light feel to it. And it would be nice to have the games on it that I don't otherwise have on Android.

I really want to love this Android tablet. I do. I paid for it. The pen is AWESOME. But, man do I miss my iPad. I think it's taking too long for me to acclimate to the new way of thinking. One I get it set up the way I want to, I imagine I'll only miss the games on iOS, but truth be told, I played very little of those as time went on.
But...if the iPad Whatever Number They're Up To has a pen like the 10.1....I may sell the Android tablet.
(I do like the Reddit app better on Android that Alien Blue on iOS)

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Well you are a Samsung fan and they've been putting out smartphones with garbage displays in terms of color reproduction for years now. So this reasoning makes sense.

I think I'll be getting an LG G2 this weekend. Mostly because of the killer battery life. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 so it's gonna be quite an upgrade

That is sexy.
Orangey in that second picture.
G2 implements it better as you can double tap to sleep again iirc.
Lots of Google apps updates today.
Google search update with improvements to the GEL which looks to be called the Google Now Launcher.

That red Nexus 5 looks fantastic. I can't wait to buy it in a year and then bitch and cry, when Google stops supporting it few months later.
Most jailbreak hacks are surface level, just like the majority of Apple's changes within iOS 7. There's still no answer to the fundamental flaws in the OS that Android integrated long ago.
And I'd definitely go for the Nexus 7 over the Mini. I sold my Mini and the only thing I miss is the aspect ratio.

Fuck that looks nice.
I love how orange it is. I probably would have bought that if it existed when I bought my N5, haha.

"elo guvner goog!"
Yep that looks pretty dang great.
I beg to differ. Activator is very powerful.
Plus Apple split the control panel into top and bottom 2 panels, its much easier to use on a tablet than the Android way.

M8?

No that's just a black HTC One
No it's not, there are no physical buttons on the front. For reference, this is a black HTC One
If that is legit, the M8 looks sex, excited to see if HTC can improve on all the shortcomings of the existing model
No hardware or software buttons? Seems fishy.
That's Nice

what if they hide them on the home screen? do you REALLY need back, home or app switcher on the launcher?
The Faceless Master
Member
menu? for what? pinch to zoom to see and manage multiple home screen. long press for wallpapers and widgets. you can already get to the settings in the notification pulldown.
why do you *need* recent apps on the home screen? you have ALL YOUR APPS a button press away in the app list submenu of the launcher.
HTC does it again!
Yeah, why would I want a list of apps I've used recently when I can just scroll through pages of apps to find the one I was just in? Sound reasoning.
Am I crazy to think that Google Play Music has better sound than Poweramp? I keep reading how Poweramp's audio engine is so much better than the rest but I found the bass too strong drowning out lows and mids of songs. Google Play Music seems to be more flat in that regard without drowning out sound.

Was having some battery issues with my Note 2, but it seems like I was able to take care of by restricting background data usage for several apps. I still need to test it for a few days to make sure it worked, but after about 4 hours early today I was down 25% (mostly on standby). After that I went to Data Usage in the settings menu and checked 'Restrict background data' on a bunch of apps (pretty much everything other than Gmail). It's been about 5 hours since then and my battery has only gone down about 3-4%.
I first tried some of those battery monitoring apps, but they seemed pretty limited in what they can do (basically just turning off apps), and apparently with new version of Android you need to root your phone in order for those apps to do anything more useful (more accurate battery stats, stopping apps from launching, etc.
Don't know if it was the recent update to 4.3 or if some of my apps got updated to start sipping extra data. Still need to keep an eye on it for a few days to make sure it really did work, but I'm hopeful.

Dude, that picture is a fake. It has no HTC logo how can it be a real HTC phone?

how did you get to the home screen if you wanted to switch apps?
they're going back to their roots
Going back to their roots of making Windows Mobile phones for Compaq and i-Mate?
