SmartPhones

If the account was still active sure....you may not have had data usage and certain features but the phone would probably have worked.

Dammit! I suppose it doesn't matter. By then I had used Mike's phone and wanted the apps.

Man fuck Retail he can afford that shit. I guess that is why he is a smart White guy. But he can afford it. Some day I will be cash money pimping like him.

...another thing that bothers me about Apple is that their answer to competition is to file an endless barrage of lawsuits.

Hell, they all do that.

You're still rocking a hero? That's worse than my Palm Pre. Good lord man, that hero was outdated when it came out by virtue of horrible specs.

You running CM7?

It would be if I wasn't running custom ROMs. AOSP 2.3.4 / CM7+ (Gingerbread).

Weak article but he's absolutely on point. Apple is going to get rid of the nuisance known as Android in a hurry (Obviously not get rid of, but they will again be the market share leader by a large % imo). Does anyone think that people will buy Android phones for the same price over the life of a contract as an iPhone? I do not.

From that same website from July 5:

According to a new report from comScore, 1 in 3 Americans now own a smartphone. Google’s Android OS is ahead of the pack with a 38.1% share of the market during the 3-month period ending in May — up 5.1% from the last report in February. Apple’s iOS operating system jumped 1.4 percentage points to a 26.6% share, and RIM’s BlackBerry OS fell 4.3% to a 24.7% share of the market. Microsoft also dropped from a 7.7% share to a 4.8% share, and HP’s webOS fell from a 2.8% share to a 2.4% share in May. Manufacturer mobile subscriber market share remained relatively flat: Samsung still has a 24.8% share of the market according to comScore, followed by LG (21.1%, down 0.2 percentage points), Motorola (16.1%, down 1 percentage point), Apple (8.6%, up 1.2 percentage points), and RIM (8.1%, down 0.5 percentage points). Read on for the full release from comScore.

Will probably return my Smartphone this week, before the 30 day trial is up.
Just don't need it. Besides, everyone says I sound lousy on it, and I can't hear well on it either.

I guess I will go back to my bag phone!

Probably not a bad idea if all you are doing is calling.

Potential sighting in the wild??

The Apple I-Phone 4 is assembled with 27% Samsung products. Now the two companies are locked into an interesting global legal struggle over revenue and licensing fees.

exciting!

One of these will probably be my new phone (girl not included).

Apple makes 2/3 of all mobile phone profit. Despite having a 5% market share in the entire cell phone space. That's pretty amazing.

Advances in genetic selection make today's pullets quite different from those of only a few years ago. Pullet body weight is less. Age at housing and at 5 percent production are earlier. Total egg numbers are increasing, egg mass is greater, and feed conversion has improved.

Poultry producers who raise their own replacement pullets have better control of their pullet's growth, condition and development. When producers purchase their replacement pullets from commercial pullet growers they are putting their fate in the hands of someone else.

The major cost of producing a pullet is feed. Thus, feed reduction in order to reduce production costs is an obvious possibility when pullets are bought from outside suppliers. The profits made by a commercial pullet grower through feed reduction in the critical first 12 weeks of age may result in losses in the layer house.

When an egg producer purchases pullets that are underweight, it is important to know whether the birds were underfed in protein or energy while in the growing house. The poultry producer should always know the body weight, flock uniformity, vaccination schedule, feeding program, lighting, environmental conditions during grow-out, and the general management of his pullets. Without the basic knowledge of the flock grow-out, it is virtually impossible to understand and possibly solve problems which may later occur during the laying period. It must be kept in mind that once egg production begins, it is too late to solve problems resulting from poor grow-out nutrition or management.

The two most important criteria of pullet quality are uniformity within the flock and proper body weight at a specific age. Almost anything that adversely affects a pullet will usually be reflected in lower body weights and poorer flock uniformity. The goal for flock uniformity is to have 80 percent of the pullets within plus or minus 10 percent of the average flock body weight.
