Boom Smartphones
We carry around devices in our pockets that are more powerful than the computers that (allegedly) put us on the moon. It's some weird shit to know that hypothetically instead of texting your friend about the size of the omelette you just made using Omelette Maker Pro on your new Zune Phone, you could be blasting monkeys and shit into fucking space.
This is a thread to talk about your smartphones and tablets and sometimes people talk about computers too 'cause you're all archaic and still use those for things.
Did you just get a nifty old Smartphone? Or maybe a new one because getting an old Smartphone would be weird? You're gonna need some apps. The best way to find apps you want is to browse around the App or Play store, and discover neat things. And then post them here because we all like nice apps (for example if you find an app about blasting monkeys and shit into space please let me know). But if you're lazy or starved for neat things, you can look in these spoilers at some apps we like.
Mouse over the icons for descriptions. Clicking them will take you to their page in whatever store they belong in so you can set them to download to your devices!
iOS
I am in the middle of making this OP super cool which means there are no android apps here yet because I don't feel like adding the icons and stuff tonight and I won't stand for sub-par appearance. I'll add it in later or something I promise.

it's a port from the leaked GSM version
aka guesswork
just wait till the source code drops legit this month and groups that don't suck farts can work on it
What in the sam heck does that even mean?

Me too! Sucks so bad. I had to mow the lawn with only one monitor in, which was literally the worst thing of all time, ever

So yeah, nexus looks like a good step up from that. Especially if you can get a decent keyboard case for it, it'll be like a little laptop I can carry everywhere.

lying down, in bed
I am so uncomfortable.
24 more hours till my new gnex gets here
fuck this is painful
are you using an iPhone?
Blue means the person you're messaging also is using an iPhone, so the message is sent using Apple's iMessage service (using data connection - 3G or wifi) and doesn't count as a text message for either person's plan. Green means the person you're messaging doesn't have an iPhone, so it's sent as a regular text message.
It might mean she hasn't updated her software to iOS 5; if she hasn't updated it since she bought it then it doesn't have iMessage functionality yet.
The blue people are more handsome and more worthy if your time.

I'm way out of the loop with the latest stuff.
iPhones kind of look the same still I guess.
I keep seeing Samsung Galaxies all over the place or something. What can/can't Android phones do these days that iPhones can/can't?

Aw you made me blush
what should I do
drop some bank on a maxxed out RMBP, drop less bank on a lower end RMBP or regular MBP, or drop significantly less bank on a MBA.
My reasons for wanting one:
My powerbook G4 (circa 2003) is on its last legs, the screen hasn't worked for a while and it's having problems booting up, and I want to keep something OSX running
I want the portability
I want to play WoW and maybe some other games on it, but nothing too intensive
I also Do Work on my G4 currently
portability
I'm slightly leaning towards either RMBP option because of the dual thunderbolt ports. It will allow a bit more expand-ability for future use, and I'm hoping to get a good amount of years out of this thing (shit my G4 has been kicking it for almost a decade). At this point I'm thinking of waiting until the fall to purchase one, since it seems like whenever I spend Big Dollars, something else tends to break and I'm sitting with a nice chunk of credit debt for a while.

honestly it depends what work you're doing
Yeah, I just know there's a definite line in the sand between OK and Uuh, really?
Like, 2.6 vs 2.7... I know there are a bunch of other differences between the chip architecture or whatever, but is .1ghz worth $300? Probably not.

Or rather, it keeps going bye-bye, turning itself off intermittently. No idea what caused it, I haven't been rough with it, haven't dropped it, no nothing.
It was immediately noticeable though, because damn if I haven't become completely dependent on this thing. Getting it replaced is going to suck.
don't do that
