  1. Really? Non working links AGAIN? How hard is it to make sure 10 or so links work? Both of the Reuters links don’t work, and neither do the last 3 links. Seriously, I’ve noticed with every single one of these Android Overload articles, there’s at least 1 link that never works because you’ve affixed the url to the link immediately after the url for this page. Every single time. I’d be more than happy to do 1 minute of your job to make sure the links work properly, cause all it would take is 1, maybe 2 minutes.

    1. ” I’d be more than happy to do 1 minute of your job to make sure the

      Heh…

      Well, I guess 2 minutes for a 1 minute job is better than it not getting done at all… ;-)

  2. I’m fine with carriers getting out of the subsidy business if they get out of the hardware business at all and just cater to unlocked phones and lower the prices of their monthly plans accordingly. But I’m guessing they still want to control what phones run on their network and they still want to charge what they’re charging now.
