I/O Silver
Seems too soon

Android 5.0. I don't give a shit about all these watches coming out. I don't understand why everyone is jumping in that market.

Because they don't know what else to do with smartphones, other than spec upgrades and new colors for their icons.
Is it me or is smartphone development stagnating?
Next year should see 64 bit processors and 1440x2550 2K screens. After that where do you see this going?
I'm pumped for IO. Watches on the way which i won't buy because screw first gen tech. Hopefully we receive a GPE G3.
I can't wait until 3000 mah, LTE radios, 1080p screens, and wireless charging are the low spec.

Hopefully we will get a huge push on battery life soon. We need more phones like the Razr Maxx. Forgo a little thickness for ridiculous battery life.

Is HW video acceleration borked on all devices sporting Android 4.3 and later or is it just the Nexus devices?
My Jellybean 4.1.2 LG phone with an MSM8960 SoC can handle HW acceleration in MX Player just fine, but the same file only plays in software mode on my 2013 Nexus 7. And naturally it's choppier there.

I want this. Glad it has front facing speakers.
Isn't the Tegra K1 supposed to be really good? At least the GPU seems so based on what I've read.
Article indicates higher. I would guess $349 minimum.
Their marketing plan has to be strong for this device to succeed. GTFOH with 281 PPI in 2014. Ditto for 16 GB as well. Where's the SD slot? IMHO, leave out LTE and add an SD slot to at least justify this price. If this sticks then I'll wait for the next GPAD GPE. I'm stunned at that PPI. Those software buttons better be small.
This brings up another interesting point. Is there something that's stopping Google or OEMs from giving us a the ability to switch between hardware and software buttons?
Can someone console me with tales of how the screen should make up for that laughable PPI? As a tech enthusiast I'm saddened right now.
Moonshine is the best IMO.
Anyone else having a problem seeing some apps on the Play Store? Whenever I go to (for example) Chrome and touch the More by Google Inc. category at the bottom, I only see a small portion of the apps Google actually has on the Play Store. Seems like that for every developer when I try to see More By _____. I can still search and find the apps I don't see, it's just really odd. Seems to be the same on all of my Android devices.
Yeah I've had problems with the "More by ______" section as well. There is a SEGA sale going on an I had to search for each individually because of it. :/

Still beat's the iPad Air's 264 PPI and don't expect Nexus devices to ever have an SD slot.
Also on the bright side, games will perform better than at 2560x1440 or something higher.

the new Tegra is always supposed to be really good. can't give them the benefit of the doubt 4 years in a row...
This is comparable to an iPad mini retina in terms of PPI, IMHO. Like I said, they'll need to do a helluva job convincing me to buy one.
For the record, I've owned an iPad mini retina earlier this year but didn't see the point at the time. Maybe there's something else in there that will convince me to buy one. Anand hopefully puts this through an extensive test.

I love the Nexus 9 form factor. It's perfect. But tegra, ram, resolution, and price are awful. At least it has front speakers.
Android L is not arriving this week. Fall.

This is why I bought a nexus 5 earlier this year. I'm expecting to get at least 4-5 years of use out of it. When Google stops supporting it I will go for custom roms to keep it updated. I had a very old Samsung Galaxy S before the nexus and it was horribly slow with cyanogenmod installed. Now that smartphones aren't evolving so fast my Nexus should last longer.
Smart watches seem dumb to me because you'll have to charge them a lot. My "dumb watch" (just a digital clock) has lasted over 2 years without a battery change which is part of the appeal.
Nividia has been nothing but empty promises and personal hypebeasting. If things changed this time, and they can show that they can support their chipset properly this time around I can give them the benefit of the doubt. But I wouldn't trust them too much unless they provide proper support for this and their next chips.

Yeah, I guess you have a point. Maybe this time will be the real deal.

On another note, AcDisplay is awesome. Best Moto Active Display copy out there. Looks so good on OLED displays, which are the best screen tech in my opinion. If there's one thing Samsung should get praise for, it's their displays. Anyway, I wish Google would go back to OLED screens on their devices.
Oh, and anyone with a KitKat at&t gs4, the geohotz towelroot exploit works. Don't know what I'd do without Xposed to help pretty up the shit that is TouchWiz.

After using my N10 pretty much every day since it released, I think an 8-9" 4:3 screen would be perfect. Still big enough for comic and magazine reading but better to hold in portrait and slightly lighter/more portable.
Wouldn't mind one of these just to browse the web and watch some movies as long as it could run Hearthstone decently. Would compliment an iPhone very nicely.
