Competition? More choices? Great.
Killer? Destroyer? Noo... Sounds like that author already made up his mind without considering that these companies can just continue pushing each other.
Yeah, pretty sure the author who wrote that was an idiot. I don't see how this could be anything but good. The same way that the Kindle Fire pushed Google to release the Nexus 7, I can only see this causing other manufacturers to come out with even better and more competitively priced smartphones.
And I don't take anybody seriously who uses the term "iPhone killer". It is the most annoying and ridiculous term to have come from the smartphone craze. There is this one foreign guy on FB who keeps posting on one of the Android pages asking about which phone is an iPhone killer, all the damn time. "Is this phone iPhone killer?"... "is that phone iPhone killer?"... Seriously, STFU with your stupid iPhone killer drivel, you look stupid as hell when you say it. I really want to kick that guy in the balls.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the OP.
First of all, like @_MetalHead_ has pointed out, what does this have to do with the One X directly? Answer: Not enough to post it in the HOX forum.
Second, the phrase "destroy Android"? The Amazon phone will probably be running Android so I don't know how that would work, since Amazon has an App Store of their own for Android Apps. Even the article the OP links to states what this phone will target: Low-end price point, Brick-n-Mortar stores, and manufacturers. Not software.
I see the OP is doing nothing more than attempting to generate baseless, superficial panic. Yellow Journalism.
probably gonna be along the same lines and the facebook phone and the firefox phone. Even the revamped MeeGo project. Sure they will have their share of competition with android and will have their own little cult followings, but I don't think that there will be anything in the near future that will gain significant ground on Android.
Wasn't that the Firefox phone ur talking about?

Or they didn't notice the other threads? Not everyone reads the entire board before posting.
A friend who's a big fan of Apple products told me the iPhone 5 was supposed to be Steve Jobs' vision of the "perfect phone". Of course, I told him that's ridiculous because they were continuing development after his untimely passing. Maybe future development really will make it the phone of phones.
The only time I will ever buy an iPhone, is when it is actually better!
haha :laugh:
THE IPHONE 5, like the 4 but taller. that's it. hahahahah!
The only time I will buy an iPhone is when it can download food.
I will only buy the iphone if I need to test my designs for app development purposes.
Apple did claim that samsung is a copy of apple,
except the part that it is bigger, faster, better, has NFC, MHL, HD resolution, etc.
Spoke with a Verizon Rep the other day whose family member works in Tech support, and fields the calls coming in from iPhone 5 customers.
I was told that he has over 2 pages of known issues regarding the iPhone 5. I don't know how many issues are on each Page, but it must be a lot.
He mentioned that customers would be well advised to wait until some of these issues are resolved.
That most likely will never happen;
Customers waiting, unless it's on a line, in the rain, during a Hurricane, to purchase one or two, and Apple resolving all the issues.
I did a little research afterward, and see that there are some issues, to say the least.
I have a friend who talks so much crap about iPhone, yet got an iPod Touch a few weeks back and raves about how much he LOVES it.
Just shows how ignorant some people are.

We received a hand-me-down iPod touch, which went to the kids.
In drives on a recent family trip, they all wanted our Galaxy S III phones, instead of the Touch. When only one phone was available, they didn't even use the Touch and instead waited for the Samsung.

I am seriously underwhelmed by the Iphone 5
Eh, Apple this Samsung that. When Apple clears up most of the 5's issues, Apple fans and Android fans will still complain about each other. So long as there is competition we still keep on getting newer tech. The arguments on the different forums is funny as hell. Reminds me of the verbal battles ppl would have at the speed shop or the bar; Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge vs Foreign cars. Pissing contests are always good for a laugh when you sit on the side and watch the BS fly.
Wow. What a year.
We still have a month left in 2012, but one thing is certain: Quite a lot happened in the world of mobile development in 2012.

nice thread
I always liked XDA's Nexus 7 "Unboxing." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNWRto0Vf0M
Hello!
I loved all articles in 2012 and I was reading them while having fun, so it was very good. For videos, I particularly liked the XDA Unboxings, and the unboxing of the SGS3 was hilarious when Jordan "fainted" when he saw his device was taken apart.
So yeah, a great year at XDA, wish you another like this!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of Azrienoch's This Is Why We Root video. It really sheds some light on the possibilities after rooting your device, as well as providing information as to why someone would want to. I'm an advocate of being able to have total control over a phone that you've paid good money for, and now I have a resource to direct my friends to whenever I hear the question "What's so good about rooting your phone?".
The story of the HD2 getting a WP8 port
cracking the gsIII bootloader on verizon
I like XDA unboxing videos.
My favorite is Verizon's Samsung Galaxy S3 unboxing
azrienoch's video on Why XDA-Developers.com Roots Android(http://www.xda-developers.com/android/this-is-why-xda-developers-com-roots-android-xda-developer-tv/)
is my favorite
After lurking for a number of months this is the first subject that has compelled my procrastinating fingers to register.
Best video all categories - Azrienoch "This Is Why XDA-Developers.com Roots Android"
The others are difficult to choose from as they're all great and I feel it is almost a betrayal to say that I've preferred one more than another thus I'm just going to give a special mention for TK who has improved exponentially with every video made.
Big thanks to all for your efforts.
Good

I have a 12 year old sister and she's not really "normal"
She's a bit slow in social terms and not much of a fast learner. Her father bought her a laptop for Christmas and I was really wanting to get her every Friday and just show her some tricks and tips and help her with her homework. Would be nice to influence her in some way because I believe she really needs it.
But I'm not much of a teacher when it comes to technology. I can do just about anything technically but I can't really explain even how to stop "Do you want this to be your default browser" popups to people who aren't so tech savvy.
What should I do? I've already showed her a YouTube series to watch for "Beginning with Windows 7" or something but she still doesn't really understand. I got it to where she can text me through Gmail but I still have to go up there a few times and click on my name because she doesn't understand how to open the chat window back up.
Any ideas? She doesn't really have a good computer. I couldn't even get those cheap "iSpy" games at Walmart to run stable. I plan to show her how to use Google and Wikipedia for school but what's something fun for a 12 year old girl? Besides Facebook. I doubt her Father would allow that.

Really? I never watch the news anymore. They dramatize serious subjects and it just ticks me off.
But yeah, I figured I could spend more time with her. She really has no one to really teach her anything, no offense to our parents. But she's getting to the age where I think she should consider taking things like education more seriously. I dropped out and getting into college was hell. My older Brother graduated but is nothing but a labor slave. Her Father and our Mother has their issues as well so she really has no role model. I think I should be more involved so if she does want to do something with her life, she doesn't have to go down the hard path like I have.

The minimum age for Facebook is 13 I thought so it may not be appropriate for her. And if by not "normal" you mean she's developmentally disabled her actual age she acts might even be younger than 12 and she would be vulnerable to predators on Facebook and other social media sites so be careful there. Opening her up to the world of the internet might not be a good call if you don't have appropriate parental guards in place on the pc she's using. Predators look for kids just like your sister, the most vulnerable are the easiest prey. I would at the least only let her on-line supervised by an adult and make sure she can't get on-line by herself.
And you can only teach her as much as you know. So the best bet is to learn more yourself and then you will be a better teacher. I have grown adults at work who have used pc's for at least the last 18 years and they still ask me do the simplest of tasks for them so she may never figure it all out. Turning it on and playing a game may be all she can do, hell that's all my boss can do.

Does she have any interest in programming by some chance? Or the general concept of it (being able to tell computers what to do)?
Could try learning some Java/Android coding (for Android coding, probably want to learn some Java first). Seeing example code you written actually run might be pretty cool
What about voice recognition software like Dragon? It could be fun for her and also help her with technology?

Was actually thinking of that but I haven't really read anything about it besides commercials ? Does it "it just works" or is it complicated?

I was shopping around last night and this morning and I'm thinking of getting her a used iPod from GameStop to play games with and stuff. Really the issue is that she's growing up and everybody still babies her like her 10 year old sister. I think the laptop is the only thing she's really proud of as her room is piled with dolls and Barbie's. The iPod is only $80 and maybe a $20 iTunes gift card. I don't know what music she likes. She doesn't even know who Justin Bieber or One Direction is.

Sounds like a plan bro, I'm sure she will appreciate it.
Not sure where to post this, but I thought I'd share this with you since I am surprised that this has not received more attention. I searched the internet and couldn't find anything about it...
Apple is censoring any mention of the word "Android" in their App Store reviews. I wrote a review for an app and mentioned something about the Android version being better and my review was not published. I thought maybe it was because I said something positive about Android, but after doing some further experiments I found that they censored any mention of the word Android. So, I started using the word "And.roid" or "Andr-oid" or some variation, and those reviews made it through the filters and were published. If you have an iOS device try it out yourself. I haven't tried other keywords like Blackberry or Windows, but I should try those as well.
I can't believe how pathetic Apple has become. They are so insecure that they have to censor any mention of Android. If you're Android fan, be sure to write some reviews about how great And.roid is. Maybe Apple will get the hint that censorship is not the answer...okay, now I know I'm dreaming...

I contacted Apple support about this and after they "looked into it" this is the response I got:

We were unable to find anything on our end that would prevent you from publishing reviews. I don't believe we have any type of filter regarding Android, and Apple, did the comments you have successfully published have the same comments as the ones that did not publish?

So, I wrote back to them and told them that any mention of Android was definitely rejected. I also told them that if I misspelled Android the review was published, but if I later went back and edited the review changing only "And.roid" to "Android" the review was immediately removed. If I edited it again from "Android" back to "And.roid", the review was published again. I did not hear back from Apple after that.

Apple are a manipulative bunch of liars
Following the news that NSA had planted backdoors in Android warmly accepted by Google (well, not in so many words, but who's going to believe that NSA's contribution to Android has nothing to do with backdoors?), Apple (who of course have also facilitated NSA access to the massive database of information gleaned from their own spying on their users) deviantly claimed that they "never allow any third party code in their products", intending to insinuate that secret Apple proprietory solutions are better than open source Android because open source Android code has NSA code contributions that Apple would "never allow".
Of course, since all apple software is proprietory and its source code secret, we just have to believe their honest words since nobody could ever verify that there are no NSA backdoors in Apple products. Do Apple merit our trust? Ha!!! They even censor the word Android out of reviews of their products, and then lie about the filters they have put in place. Given the sort of manipulative and exploitative behaviour Apple indulges in on a daily basis, I'd say they are no more to be trusted than the US government.
Hm..this is interesting but something I'm not suprised apple would do. It does seem that they are losing the phone market. I recently fired up my ipod touch to find that there was no more installious or as much development in the cydia community...at least not even close to what android phones have.

What did you expect from Apple? They stopped innovating a long time ago, now they're only good at patent trolling and decelerating developement.
apple is THIS much pathetic?! for goodness sake, what the hell do they think they're gonna get from such an idiotic behavior?
this really sound like apple is getting more and more nazi towards android, to the point of censoring the name itself
how low the monster has sunk
I have heard about many users who switch from iphones to android terming their new experience to be 'exotic' and 'awesome' but I have hardly heard about android user switching to iphones and said anything extraordinary. I think apple iphone's hardware is amazing. From the design to performance, it is great. But the biggest letdown with iphones is iOS. iOS still looks, feels, the same after so many years. Yes they have changed the look a little in iOS7 but it is still the same old thing. I am not a big fan of customization but it still bugs me to use iphones that still looks the same when I owned iphone 3g.
Hah this is hilarious.

Apple has always gone for simplistic, low/no maint, etc.
They would rather charge more and make everything 'just work' without giving you the options and customization (aka make their QA much harder)
Apples to oranges...erm...androids I suppose, it's hard (for me) to compare them on the same level.
