A legal take.

A man walks into a hamburger restaurant where he has bought a permanent seat (the universal). He sits down, picks up the menu and looks at the long selection of hamburgers(AKU 3.X ROMS) to order from. The waiter comes over and asks what he would like. The man looking around, looks through the swinging doors into the kitchen(Microsoft and HTC) and see the chefs cooking steaks(WM6). The man looks at the waiter and says “I’ll have a steak.”
The waiter replies “I am sorry sir, but this is a hamburger restaurant.”
“Then why are they making steaks?” he asks, pointing to the chefs in the kitchen.
“Ah, they are preparing for a new steak restaurant that we will be opening next door. They are simply trying to get the flavour right.” He says quiet proudly.
The man looks reflective for a moment then says “Alright, I’ll buy a steak. How much do you want for it? You can test the flavour on me.”
“Again, I am sorry sir , but the steaks are for only in-house chefs to try.” The waiter replies.
“Fine. Let me speak to your manager.”
“I am the waiter/manager, sir. And no matter how much you offer, we will not be selling those steaks here. I am sorry.”
The man then gets up and leaves the restaurant, goes around to the side door (XDA-forums) and knocks on it politely and explains to the chef that he would like to try a steak in the hamburger restaurant.
The chef tells the man “ Since you own the seat here in the restaurant, you can bring any food you would like and eat it at your table. I’ll give you a steak and you go back around and eat it inside.”
The man hearing this is overjoyed. “Thank you kind sir. I will give you any feedback on what I think about your steaks.”
The man then takes his steak, heads back into the hamburger restaurant and proceeds to eat it. The man thinks “Why didn’t he just sell me a steak? It would have been so much easier. Tell me a price.”
The manager seeing this knows where the steak came from and is quiet consternated. On one hand his new restaurant is not open and he would like some feedback about his steaks. Hell, he himself eats the steaks in this restaurant. On the other, he cannot sell steaks in this restaurant as most of the seats have been bought, plus few would want to spend the extra money on adding steak to the menu and it would take away business from the other restaurant. So, he lets the man eat his steak for now, knowing that one day soon he might have to lock the side door.
I suggest reading it twice. Once as a business man and again as a consumer.

Great Analysis ! ! !

Sounds Great...
Sounds Great...

Fabulous

i think that by far is the best 1st post i have seen!!! Its perfect! i think im gonna cry, lol j/k

This post accurately represents the daily dilemma that a board such as XDA Devs faces when trying to choose between just plainly serving the menu and trying to get their customers the best there is without getting on the wrong foot with companies such as HTC or Microsoft.
What I miss in this story though is the Chef threatening to sue the restaurant manager if he dares to serve steak outside the menu. I would also dare to say that when knocking on the XDA-Devs side door, it would not be the Chef (e.g. Microsoft) answering the door, but the sidekick that does the dishes

That just screams "Can i get an Apple with that iSteak". well sh!t, im probably going to get a letter from apple over that comment.

Guy 1: I'm getting sick of eating the same burger for over a year. I read from the news that there is a new cafe opening soon. It looks like a nice place, cozy & fancy. The apple pie sure looks delicious
Guy 2: Well, you know. This restaurant is also coming up with a new menu soon. It's a steak. I'll tell you what, I just got a sample from the chef. Wanna bite?
Guy 1: Sure!
Guy 2: So What do you think?
Guy 1: Uhmm...my..GOD...delicious. I prefer it well done, anyway, it's much better then the burger. If they tweak it a bit, I'm sold

GREAT !
Just a GREAT Post !
I'm all exhausted from laughing
Cheers

Actually, I was going to say "junior chef", however I do know major devs(none in the PPC market) who, for reasons of their own, give out "in-development software" for testing and feedback. These guys look at it as a free resource and a symbiotic relationship. They get what they want and you get to use the latest and greatest.
I wrote this article to show the legal grey area that the XDA-Forums operates in. It really is a tight rope act. One slip and its a long fall with no net.
You do provide invaluable services to the community as well as much needed feedback on PPC products to the companies that create them. But what do you think will happen when one of these companies' manager types gets the notion that you are hurting profits instead of creating them?
PS I see the waiter/manager as the managers of Microsoft/HTC with the chefs strictly being Devs.

Once again Spartan takes the high ground, when I stupidly get annoyed by the school bully being mean to the new kid and retaliate by knocking the bully's lunch on the floor... When will I learn?

WTF?
Stop fooling around guys, this thread is really good.
I suggest erasing this one and making a new one with the same topic.
I would also like to know if anyone came across some good stuff...
I am personally checking almost every day if there is something new.
But still nothing that is that much of interest.
Lately it was PointUI2 - I really like it but I am gonna stick with SPB Mobile Shell 2 for some time. But PointUI is really nice and has good functions.
So who's next?

Anyway way back to topic, anythink interesting for touch HD that stays interesting for more than 5mins. I would recommend Music ID and the default youtube app
Music ID = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439974

And that is.... Drum roll.... PDAcraft paint http://www.pdacraft.com/paint.php
A very cool little a painting/drawing app that works on the HD. Hours of fun

A better question might be, what exactly do you want your phone to do?
Other than the built in stuff, (the camera, the mp3 player, video player and internet tablet... is there something more that youare after?
GRemote: is **** hot... allowing you to control media player on your PC.
Music ID: is essential if you have even a passing interest in music.
An RSS reader: to have all your news delivered to your phone just in time for breakfast and/or lunch breaks.
"MYplayer": is worth a try if you are having trouble with the getting iplayer to work.
omniano: is good for a laugh, but without multi touch very limited
S2P: is nice to flick through your album covers...
Google maps and live search maps: do what they say on the tin.
Also Microsoft voice commander is quite fun... at times even useful.
Microsoft Recite is good too - a dictaphone with speech search (altho not touchscreen which is annoying).

ill try to find some links but i cant find all of them!!!

hey guys !! how is it going ???

hoooooooly cow, whoa there, just whoa.
seriously buddy, I wasn't ripping into you you started off with a pretty mundane post and in my infinate bordeom I wrote a simple lame observation and then had fun with it, and as for the others jumping in suggesting that I get banned, thats...thats insane thats not 'attitude' your reading its light heartedness quit jumping on the 'troll TROLL TROLLL!!!' bandwaggon its overreactive and very offputting to those of us who enjoy this forum and want to inject a little humanity into it.
Anyway this has surprisingly turned into a semi interesting post;
QuickMark http://www.quickmark.cn/En/basic/index.asp has been fun, it scans in barcodes and you can link it to a central database such as upcdatabase.com, it can re-encode QR codes into url's and contact information etc. great fun to make your own QR/Barcodes.
Scrobble http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474373 is so far the best port of Scrabble on the WM platform, the guys done a cracking job and allowed custom dictionaries to be used.
I think Xtract has been mentioned, I lovely little game, but painfully short and easy.

Fair enough mate, you clearly didn't mean to offend the guy. That's the problem with making jokes in writing. It's very easy to missinterpret. If you look back at what you initialy said, you can see why we might of thought you were just being out of order rather than tounge in cheek.
Anyway, apologies if I reacted a little harshly myself. I got a bit carried away

Urgent Notice: Unauthorized use of Palm, Inc

Hello guys I'm the creator of the Palm Pre theme and mod @ leakdroid.com we were contacted by Palm, Inc. They demand that we immediately remove the application and any advertisements regarding the application from any website on which they appear. This includes wallpapers/ringtones/icons/screenshots.
So i'm asking you all to remove any icon/wallpaper you might have.
It was a fun ride theming the AndroidOs. Mods please take action..
Thank you all for your Support.

Wow that sucks

Damn thats some crazy ****!!

My wife was actually planning on going this weekend to get/order one for work (her work isn't with T-Mobile, so she has different choices).
I can't wait to tell her about this when she wakes up. I know her feelings about this type of nonsense, and I guarantee she won't be wanting a Palm after this. It's a "theme" for goodness sake... a sincere form of flattery. And in her case, she was pretty dead-set on getting one. I don't know what she'll end up getting now, but I can almost 100 percent guarantee she'll spit on the Palm demo unit when she walks by it to look at other phones.
It's not like the OS was ported over for the phone. Just some creative types put together a theme that partially emulates the look and, well, less slightly, the feel of the POS Palm.
It's nice to see makers show their true colors at any early stage in the game. Thank you Palm, you silly little request irked us enough to reconsider a Palm purchase. Hope your board is proud.

does this mean that any other theme that has any elements of your pre theme must remove those as well, or just palm branded images? this sucks massively.

Aren't they in a battle with Apple for some crap like this? Not theme wise but trying to sue because they Palm hacked the Pre to work on iTunes, Apple updated iTunes and Palm got made saying it violated some USB crap?
I read an articial and I just skimmed tho it.
O well, I never called for the theme but now I WANT IT just because.

I'm not mad, more irritated by this move by Palm. Like a previous poster said, it's a theme. Just the fact that they did this will guarantee I never buy anything palm.
Shoot, if I could remove the "Palm's" of my hand I would.
Whatever.
Great work anyways l3wish. Sucks you put a lot into it for this to happen. I'm sure you'll create some other great theme(s).
Dear Palm,
Suck it.
Sincerely,
Six6Sicks.

palm pre layout looks so GAY. so the fact that palm is doing this crap makes them MORE GAY .

palm eat a fat "____"
@l3ish i hope this doesnt stop u on making theme's for us

I say we leave the themes on our phone, just to stick it to them.

I think you know what I want, anyone that has it please help me out cbowley603 |@| gmail |.| com thanks.

I see no reason why we can't continue to use the theme if we like it but I know it can't be up for downloads anymore because then l3wish would get into trouble and we don't want that...l3wish don't pull a Haykuro on us and leave man we need you...[l3wish says in his Tony Montana voice at Palm Inc.]
What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of ****in' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your ****in' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!
P.S. Sorry for the language but when you quote Tony there is no other way.

There have been "funny" people in the past who eg. demanded crossbow to be deleted in name of Microsoft, but turned to be false.
We wait until OFFICIAL claim of Palm, via the PROPER channels, and not by an UNVERIFIED notice placed by a third party!

What a waste.

Why is that a waste?
I'm seventeen and I own a TP2.

i see people with TP2/tilt2's all the time.
A girl i know used to have one but she switched to BlackBerry because it was too slow/buggy for her. She was running stock rom and i didn't have time to flash it for her.

I saw a girl with Sprint Touch Pro2 while I was waiting to be seated at a steakhouse. Her phone had the stock UI, and much to my surprise it looked quite speedy compared to my tricked out Tilt2 with 2.5 manila ....

Should not have that attitude, I feel happy that young people have Rhodium´s
That means this great device is not only for buisness people

I'm 16 and I have a Rhodium (but I'm a male...)!
I haven't seen anyone else here in the SF Bay Area with a TP2. I keep seeing stupid little Sidekicks (some girls are now switching to the G1; one of my friends says she doesn't want the MyTouch3G because there's no keyboard)...and iPhones.

I'm not sure that they really for business people. My misses dad lives in the Middle East and is regional president for a large multi national engineering company and they won't support the TP2. Blackberry's the one.
However, saying that my misses has a horse and at the yard where she keeps it all the 12yr old girls have blackberries. She asked one why and the reply came "I just like them, I've always liked them".
Maybe her school's got an Exchange Server lol

Haha. Same here. I was going out, and was like aight time to show chicks the master phone Touch Pro 2...
"hey I have that one also"
...damnit!

I didn't mean to focus solely on the age thing. But you youngins are probably tweaking the **** out of your phones. I don't want a 16 year old girl getting my phone and just using it to text her ditzy friends with one of the best WinMo phones ever (so far). She should have an iPhone with stick-on bling.
I like that the TP2 is an adult phone!!!

Oh, okay. I understand what you're talking about.
I know how you feel...I see (though rarely) people at school with 'old' WM phones like the HTC Raphael and I saw someone with an Omnia. I also see a lot of Android phones now...It does seem like a waste seeing these people getting $500 phones solely to look cool with a touch screen phone and texting people.
I even have a friend, who used to own a T-Mo Dash3G, and he never even knew he could edit Word Docs on his phone! He now has an iPhone 3Gs!
Well, we just have to tolerate it...at least we know our phones are appealing to many people. Besides, it's their money!

Do I know I can edit a Word doc? Sure. Would I ever? Not a chance
But it sounds like your friend found a phone fitting him.

I dont know what defines as an adult phone. I have a Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 and iPhone 3G, i feel as much of an adult with any of these phones.
I know alot of young people like to show off their new phones to friends and stuff, however I believe adults somewhat do the same as well. If you dont care about the aesthetics of a phone (HD2, TP2, iPhone, Moto Droid are good looking phones)), then you'd just get a blackberry strictly for business use.

haha that's kind of funny, I have a hard time thinking about someone getting this just to use everything stock. I'm only 15 and the main reason i got this was because of all the things i could do to tweak it and make it a lot more cool. Don't feel too bad about young people owning this phone, I wouldn't if I were you. Nowadays a lot younger crowd is able to grip to these smartphones, nothing wrong with that.

lol Adult phone. What is an adult anyway ? I once read that to truly be an adult both your parents have to be dead.
Anyway, what's the difference between some 15yr old with a TP2 and most owners of desktop PCs? Neither uses the machine to anywhere near it's full potential. I mean do you really need that monster quad core for writing emails and .docs ? Me thinks not !
It's not about what people need, it's about what they want. And that's where marketing comes into play

LOL.... Totally know what you mean.
It must have blown your mind to see another TP2 owner, let alone a 16 year old girl with it.
Not exactly the demographic HTC was targetting, but it's cool that 'regular' people are starting to take notice of HTC's PRO series products.

hmpf. Only 2 people out of like hundreds have recognised my phone. Most people are like "is that an iPhone"... I have never been so insulted.

I too feel a certain level of insult when someone mistakes my TP2 for an iPhone. I'm always like, "No man this isnt a toy it's the tilt2 aka TP2 aka current god of cell phones!" You hand it to them and laugh as they stumble through the menus never truly appreciating the TP2 for its worth only to hand it back and say, "Oh it's nice but I like iphones." Makes me want to give them the heavy hand of justice every time

IT'S OVER!!! Nokia Lumia 900 TV Commercial #1

1. It's over!!!
2. Be Social
ENJOY!!!! They are pretty good.

The first one made me chuckle, we will see how nokia lives up to the hype
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I get it, but...
Cute, I guess.
Seriously, though, they gotta do better than this! Doesn't say anything about the phone.

It'll be good to finally see them on TV as well as follow up commercials for my new hero phone.

I like the "death grip example" (mock scenario) they posted.
They need to show what the phone can do. Okay to poke a little fun between goliath companies, but consumers need to know what they are buying into. I bought one of the first "Windows Phone" back in 2010, and liked that it was different and I could swap batteries. Seems I can't with this model. I'll hold onto my Lumia 710 for a bit before jumping up to the 900.It has same features, just not the big screen.

Getting better. I'm ok if some of the commercials just give a sneak peak and some give a few more details like this one.

I think its actually pretty smart. A commercials job is to get people to think, ask and talk about a product. If it gets people in to a store to ask how it is different or to get more info etc... then it did its job.
In the US we LOVE to root for the underdog. eg.. "Firefox, take back the web.... "
We had a local restaurant thats gone statewide after their "Save the bird eat a xxxx" add campaign.
The only thing they could have done better in those commercials would have been to hook in to an underdog theme.
