Ah, you guys missed the fact that the nexus one uses mini sd cards, which I think you can buy a mini sd right now for 32 gig.

I'm using a class 6 on my android right now that's 16 gig.

Dont take this the wrong way Kevin, but who in their right mind would buy a crapple tablet for a thousand when the Archos 9 is half the price.

Great episode. Though I can't understand why Alex didn't get hyped about the 'iSlate' features. That shit sounds amazing! I'm psyched.

I agree with Alex, nothing about it really makes me too excited. The products has hardly been announced too, so a lot of the things being mentioned are still highly questionable.

Also, half the time I read a book is to read of fictional social interactions and rid myself of the world around me temporarily, I could imagine pop ups of "omg check this part out" and various annotations like that to be bothersome, especially since the biggest part of reading a book is making your own interpretations of the events that take place and figuring out what direction mentally the writer is sending me.

A netbook is half the price of a Macbook but are you going to try and say that the netbook is just as good as the Macbook?

props to Prager for rocking the SYSTM shirt... Rev3 lost all of its geek cred with canceling that show. And where the hell are the Tekzilla SYSTM segments we were promised? Was that just a lie to shut us up? Deliver on your promises.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm a little drunk and seeing the shirt stirred up some shit

EDIT: LOVE the fact that they mentioned yuengling... I live very close to america's oldest brewery. If you haven't tried it, you need to.

The iPhone already has a well established user base. Android is the new kid on the block. The difference? Unlike the iPhone, Android is available on a number of different devices and networks. As more Android devices are released you'll see a spike in the quantity AND quality of apps. Developers will jump on board to meet that demand.

It's inevitable that there are going to eventually be more Android devices and apps then the iPhone. This isn't just one phone vs. the iPhone. It's an entire army of phones on EVERY carrier vs one phone. On one carrier (currently). Why do you think there are more PCs running Windows then there are Macs? Because it's an entire army of computers all running the same OS vs. one computer company who is the only one running that OS. It's the same thing with Android vs. iPhone.

I don't understand why people don't see this. In time this will become even clearer.
