Android on phones and tablets is substantially different in appearance, Gingerbread was phone only, Honeycomb tablet only, Ice Cream Sandwich converges and progresses them.

I was attempting to re-watch the originals recently but gave up after a few episodes; too much woo-woo mumbo-jumbo superstition instead of real SF stories, but yes the Eagles etc. were awesome and the title sequence is possibly the best of any TV series.
I have had zero GPS or WiFi problems - but then I have very little use for GPS on a tablet so I've only tested it once (it locked just as fast as my phone)
The Register's continued Clarksonesque blustering about Fukushima is a constant embarrassment, saying that wind-power has killed more people is an argument worthy of Creationists.

So, the article correctly points out that Murdoch's paper organs hemorrhage money but also claims that they don't wield undue influence - if that is true then why does he have them then, hmm?
My friend - a Mr. Chainsaw - was blocked from Facebook for years, no arguments about it being his stage name were any use, or that there were other users already on Facebook with the same surname.
Israeli soldiers are murdering unarmed civilians in the illegally occupied West Bank and some people are getting hysterical over T-shirts. Not The Holocaust - T-shirts.
Would this ever have been exploited? Probably not.
Amazing the amount of media sensationalism there is over this (the front page of The Metro - really?!), it almost makes you wonder if one big tech company might be spending money smearing another... nah - that would never happen!
Why are most red-headed women utter babes (hello Karen Gillan!) when most red-headed men are downright painful to the eye (goodbye please Mick Hucknall)?
On my LG Optimus 2X under 2.2 I happily used the built in tethering / portable hotspot option, it's still there under the newly installed 2.3 - I guess these options are removed for our cousins in the "Land of the Free"? Just flash a custom ROM then!
I bought mine at the end of last month for £430 and am delighted with it (I previously owned a G1 and a Nexus One)
It's easily rooted and there are already a handful of custom ROMs out there with more coming every day - I've opted for pretty much stock Android, others like to keep more LG elements.
True the touch screen does need a slightly firmer touch but in terms of speed it DESTROYS all single processor phones, e.g. it benchmarks as 3 times faster than the Galaxy S mentioned in the article and even pips the yet to be generally available (and more expensive) Motorola Atrix.
A lot of Brits believe that they have special magic invisible friend - one that lives in the sky forever and ever and he done made everything just by thinking about it! And if you say that he doesn't then he do make you go to a bad place under the ground where you will burn and burn and nasty men with horns will prod you with sticks FOREVER - it's true!

IR?!
I doubt many smartphones have IR any more!
The San Fran II is also £100 - you can't go wrong really!
Been there
Me and one other contractor were given a similar choice, but with a 10% cut, 2 years ago.
Luckily for me they asked him first, he tried to play hardball and he got the chop - I didn't risk it.
A couple of month's later he had to come crawling back.
Only now have they started to cut into the tumorous mass of managers that's choking the company,..

Maffs?
2 out of 7 is equality?
I would if I could
I have Degenerative Disc Disease - so more than the slightest bit of exercise isn't really an option.
But HEY! Thanks for reminding me that not only am I in near-constant pain but that my life expectancy is also impacted.
I was attempting to re-watch the originals recently but gave up after a few episodes; too much woo-woo mumbo-jumbo superstition instead of real SF stories, but yes the Eagles etc. were awesome and the title sequence is possibly the best of any TV series.
An "early adopter" speaks
I got mine on Day 1 of UK release (when Clove, like now, had zero stock) and have had ZERO problems. No "wifi issues". No "GPS issues".
Sounds the like "men, they're all bastards, love" syndrome of the jilted girlfriend.
No
The test allows you to modify the default model when submitting results.
Non story.
That was exactly what held me back, but my PC and phone, both of which I would normally be using now, are currently switched off.
Sent from my Prime ;)
Follow that approach and you'll never buy any tablet, the market is moving too fast.

The same as my phone, about 30 seconds to full usability (I have a lot of widgets!)
But
shouldn't an app for the technically inept be aimed at iPhone users?
Thanks, Jezza Clarkson
Ah, that'll be why the weather has been COMPLETELY NORMAL of late.
Oh, hang on a minute...
Clearly I need to move to lovely TOTALLY SAFE Fukushima, I hear it's lovely at this time of year.
Is that a beam in El Reg's eye?
The Register's continued Clarksonesque blustering about Fukushima is a constant embarrassment, saying that wind-power has killed more people is an argument worthy of Creationists.
So?
The Guardian's Charles Arthur probably has 1,000 times as many readers as The Register, that doesn't mean The Register should shut up shop.
(Charles Arthur should definitely shut up though)
"Market forces"
Very little good ever comes of them!
Mmmm, spunk
A car in my neighbourhood has a PROTEIN (or near enough) plate - sneaky!
In Sweden there are, of course, far fewer restrictions, a friend has ANDY B but BOLLOX is also out there I believe.
Also
A good list but I would also have included Anvil - much like This is Spinal Tap but THEY'RE REAL.
Also: the ending had me in tears.
Apple's patenting is beyond ridiculous, you should not be allowed to "own" something that is so obvious and fundamental!
Well...
That was his dying breath totally wasted then!
Never trust a man who goes for "natural remedies", even when his life depends on it.
Magical, my arse!
PowerPoint
Proof that he is indeed, Satan.
Re: DUR!
The original story didn't contain those links when I posted that comment - otherwise why would I post it?!
"Methinks"!
Dur...
It wasn't in the original story - very little was!

"a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo"
I expect Apple's Army Of Lawyers (TM) to be on the case immediately.
Ahem
This is the tablet that El Reg proclaimed undying love for, right?
Put down the torches
I know El Reg loves to bash the Goog but a friend of mine could not register on Facebook due to his name - getting on Google+? No problem.
To get onto Zuckerberg's personal data mining enterprise he had to assume another name and explain to all his friend that, yes, it was indeed he.
No such problem with Google+.
But...
And if he's wanted somewhere for eating children?
Yeah, right
So, the article correctly points out that Murdoch's paper organs hemorrhage money but also claims that they don't wield undue influence - if that is true then why does he have them then, hmm?

Be all modern and fancy like
Appending a + suffix to your email address comes in very handy!
e.g. myname+dodgyhostels@gmail.com will be delivered to myname@gmail.com, handy for filtering and fingering. Ahem.

I don't know about Leicester, but the number if people with iPhones in North London is worrying...
Meanwhile
Israeli soldiers are murdering unarmed civilians in the illegally occupied West Bank and some people are getting hysterical over T-shirts. Not The Holocaust - T-shirts.
"Sympathetic"?!
You either don't get the massively obvious irony and/or you are an idiot.
I suspect both.
Sarcasm ahead
Yes and the song "Hitler has only got one ball" is clearly pro-Nazi too.
FFS.
A lot of fuss over...
Was this ever exploited? No.
Would this ever have been exploited? Probably not.

Misleading headline du jour
"LEAK" is not the same as "could disclose if attacked" - on that basis I'm leaking my Amex PIN code right now.
I'm not racist, but...
Why are most red-headed women utter babes (hello Karen Gillan!) when most red-headed men are downright painful to the eye (goodbye please Mick Hucknall)?
Fastest?
In the majority of tests the LG Optimus 2X actually beats it but they are (currently) the top 2.
Panic! Less than 100 tethering apps available!
https://market.android.com/search?q=tether&so=1&c=apps
Open means never having to have to say I can't
On my LG Optimus 2X under 2.2 I happily used the built in tethering / portable hotspot option, it's still there under the newly installed 2.3 - I guess these options are removed for our cousins in the "Land of the Free"? Just flash a custom ROM then!
I own one
I bought mine at the end of last month for £430 and am delighted with it (I previously owned a G1 and a Nexus One)
It's easily rooted and there are already a handful of custom ROMs out there with more coming every day - I've opted for pretty much stock Android, others like to keep more LG elements.

Clarksonesque
I'll stick with the opinions of experts rather than journalists, thanks.
All this week - on El Reg
Black is white!
Unsafe is safe!
Critical is also safe!
Level 6 nuclear emergency? Safe!
The Register is looking increasingly Clarksonesque - it's frankly embarrassing.
El Reg hearts nukes
The Register's reporting has hit Clarkson levels of bias.
A new low,
Some people...
@ James Pickett
So, what do you suggest? Windmills?
<sarcasm>
Yes, that's exactly what I am suggesting because there aren't any other alternatives.
</sarcasm>
Now go and watch Top Gear like a good little commentard.
Unsafe at any speed
Japan is possibly the most technologically advanced country in the world.
It is certainly the most prepared for earthquakes and the Japanese are famously fastidious.
And still we get two explosions at nuclear plants with possibly more on the way.
NUCLEAR POWER IS JUST NOT WORTH IT.
Believe it or not!
