See-Through Tablets
WoW this is awsome and could hit the market in 2012. I hope its true.

Did you ever watch Star Trek The Next Generation when it was out? The idea of computers the size of a book was a futuristic idea. It was an idea that was considered 300 years in the future. Now we have tablets that are even more advanced than those in the show.
The military is now testing invisible armor
Purdue is testing nano-technology for cloaking devices
MIT is working on a tractor beam using light technology
We have cell phones that are more powerful than the computers used to power the space shuttle to the moon circa 1969
Even the play station 3 has the computing power of super computers from 1997.
Technology improves at incredible rates. I would be shocked if we don't have see through and flexible tablets inside of 10 years and maybe even 5.
I want what you are smoking... did you not see the holographic display and the entire thing was transparent and flexible?!?

While the commercial seems to be an exaggeration it will most definitely be commercial produced within the next 5-10 years.
Invisible internals? While I'm sure they can minimize the visibility of such things what I think most likely to happen is there will be a 'hand grip' or such where all of the unhideables will be hidden...mostly the battery. The motherboards for these devices is already insanely tiny and only 1 or 2 more process shrinks and super-integration of all of the disparate circuits could reduce the entire motherboard to a chip the size of an SD card.
The flexible invisible screen already exists...and it's AMOLED.
The battery is going to be the hard part...though perhaps we're not thinking 'out of the box' enough IRT batteries. I know there is lots of work going on in the polymer-battery area...flexible, semi-flexible or formless liquid batteries? Who knows....but...we will see it.
This is no flying car...these are consumer electronics. These megalith companies have a vested interest in making the stuff they just sold you yesterday completely obsolete by today to take more of your money tomorrow. That's their incentive. That's why Apple will sit on a phone for a year...they also make money on the back-end in the app store. Samsung makes money on the hardware, that's why there's so much of it.
I see nothing compelling of current gen, next gen or even rumored next-next gen Androids/smart phones. My phone is pretty damn fast and thin and has a huge screen...aside from radio upgrades, storage upgrades and processor upgrades...which we really don't need yet, we are way ahead in that department....I want something as amazing as a flexible see through phone. Going from a Lotus to a Moment was amazing, going from the Hero to the Evo4G was amazing....Going from the Evo to Evo3D was, umm, incremental? Slightly? Evo3g-NS4G to ET4g? It was cool, it is the superior phone for certain, but...amazing? Not anymore.
Bring on the transparent holographic liquid-polymer see-through battery invisible electronic 4D 5G LTE-A² ultra-phones. I'm getting bored, lol.

I saw a preview some where online that a japaneese company has a thin plastic film stuff that did just what this describes in this video. I totally beleive it. Ovbiously the internals arnt see through but the diaplay could be. It was shocking when i saw the preview demo a year or so ago
Edit- it was slightly like the videos posted in page one. I posted beford i read it all to see if there were videos
Honestly, some people here have no imagination. The internals, for example, don't need to be see through, they just have to be smaller and clustered to a certain edge of the device and be covered by something black so it looks like a design. The rest can be clear. Done!
You guys need to balance out some logic with imagination, you will then see how close these things are to actually being in production.

So Squaretrade (I think?) did a drop test with the iPhone 4s vs Galaxy SII (not our version but they are similar in build I would assume). Be warned, it hurts to see our phone fall but it fared VERY well compared to the iPhone 4s.

In your face Apple...........of course not very scientific. But I don't like Apple products anyways.
You know that your vaping signature banner is setting off google chrome warnings? It doesn't want to let anyone access the page because apparently that site is known for distributing malware.
I did my own drop test yesterday. 2 ft right onto the upper left corner.
No issues other than a scuff mark!
Where the hell is my case I ordered?
i saw this vid a couple days ago. The test with the ipad, zoom, galaxy Tab was pretty cool too. These things are way too fragile.
I am happy to see that Samsung products had the best results. Take that iphoney
Thats cool the screen stood up to the test. The bezel can't pass my pocket test, there's already some substantial dings on mine and I baby my stuff. Way more prone to stuff like this than the Sensation was. Definitely get a case if you're questioning it........

I like to think of it this way: IPhones are more for young children, old people and those who are not technically inclined (and have no interest in being so)... Or for people who don't care about being able to customize or tweak it much on the software level, they just want it "to work".

Iphones remind me of those brightly colored toy laptops from Toys R Us. Kids see mommy & daddy with their laptops & they want one too, but they can't quite handle a real computer so they just get a toy that makes them feel important
Why does everyone feel they need to compare to apple. It keeps proving they make better products and we are all chasing to be like them. Don't give apple the credit.

Just to be on the record, I saw this as more of an interest in seeing what happens when our phone drops to the ground. I honestly don't care much about what happens to an iPhone, as I don't own one. I know other posters are bashing apple which is fine with me (I could care less), but I took some useful information out of this and have much less worry using this phone day to day with or without a case now with the knowledge that it can take a beating and still come out fighting strong.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing an A100 as a developmental tool for my twin 3 year olds. I would probably put a bunch of kids stuff on it and run it inside the Kids Mode app.
Would you say the A100 is a good choice for this purpose? Is there a better choice?
I think it is. I let my 3 year old daughter play fruit ninja and anger birds all the time. Its the perfect size to sit in her lap while shes on the couch.
How sturdy is the A100?

It's a pretty tough little tablet so long as its not thrown across the room. I've dropped mine quite a few times and it hasn't broken yet. The screen is gorilla glass, scratch resistant, takes some force to crack. When combining this tablet with kids, I'd say the most you have to worry about is how much you'll have to clean the screen. I work as a barber and use my a100 to keep kids occupied while I cut their hair.

Cost will be $230 new or $200 used. Their current tablet is a Xoom and this will be tablet #2 so they don't have to fight over the Xoom. As someone who works in the financial industry I have to ask, do you really consider any tablet, phone or other piece of electronics an investment?

Well without a calculator you'd be doing all your financial analysis on paper... which would take so much longer. Without communication electronics you'd be running around much more wasting that precious time trying to get a very easy question answered when you could have just called up that person... or to give you more of an advantage let's say you could use snail mail via horse... since vehicles have some form electronics in them. But seriously, try to do your job, for one week, without ANY form of electronics along side someone that is using them. Also, the consumer electronics can be used as productive tools if that's what you use them for. All depends on the motivation and mentality of the user. In the right hands, a hammer can build a house... in the wrong hands it's being only used to open beers. For those who use consumer electronics for entertainment... best argument I can make for them is that it's it helps with stress management and therefore an investment on their mental well-being.
Hope that gives you something to think about. Looking forward to your response.

The a100 is a great tablet! But for a 3 year old....I think that maybe some special learning tablet like a 'leap pad' or 'leapfrog' would be better. Honestly, I dont think a 3 year old should have a tablet just yet. Their eyes are still developing....It just doesnt seem right to me.
No, it is not.

It may be a waste of money to people who dont have money to just buy one. But if you can afford to get one for yoir kid then go for it. This tablet is the cheapest tablet for which you will get your most bang for your buck.

There has been a thread or two. Not really what I was aiming at. I clicked the link and saw "angry birds in the shower, at last". Really? Lol. I think people would rather have turd resistant phones if they want to play games when you should be doing your business. This is all a gimmick anyways.

Truly waterproof gadgets are one of things like incredible new types of batteries/mini fuel cells and wireless charging that have been tipped to be the next big thing for years now, yet never quite seems to take off.

I don't think you are spamming but I don't think I would send my phone to someone to have them do it, this is something I would rather buy a phone straight from the manufacturer with this as a feature. Kind of like the Droid Razr which is about as water resistant as I would need a phone.

I agree, I just do not get their business partnership at all. I guess the bottom line is in the end if Samsung is making enough money off if Apple they really don't care how they are treated.
Keep your friends close but your enemies closer?
Samsung is a huge company with many branches. So if it's anything like the place I work at, each division takes care of themselves and will completely screw another division over if it means THEY will meet their numbers and get a better bonus.
I'm pretty sure Samsung makes a lot more money on anything Apple uses for the iPad than what they do on sales of their Galaxy Tabs.

Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) will supply the touch screen for Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s new iPad after LG Display Co. (034220) and Sharp Corp. (6753) didn’t meet the U.S. company’s quality requirements, according to an analyst with iSuppli.
Samsung, the world’s top flat-panel maker, currently is the sole vendor of the display for the 9.7-inch device, said Vinita Jakhanwal, a senior manager at iSuppli, a unit of Englewood, Colorado-based IHS Inc.

Prying off the glass cover and Retina screen revealed the part numbers for the display panel. It appears to be made by Samsung, with part numbers matching a pattern used for previous Samsung panels. Rumors had suggested that LG and Sharp were also considered as suppliers for the iPad 3's 9.7" 2048x1536 pixel display, though it seems that Samsung is the only supplier pumping out enough volume for Apple at launch.

Yeah full Facebook integration like what HTC sense has had for a while, and a google maps like navigation app.
Apple are real innovators, they don't copy anyone. HTC and google are using time travel technology to steal apples ideas before they come up with them.

I think its hiliarious but I have this friend who swears that his nexus is far better than my gs2. Yeah I have a slightly lower resolution but thats it. I have a proc that will oc to 1.86ghz, gpu that will oc up to what 320mhz. Oh wait I have an sd card slot whoot. He thinks that benchmarks dont tell the truth about a phone, well thats what they are made for to test, ram, cpu, graphics its all there. I guess you just cant convince everyone. It's funny because he says my phone is old and im not even using JB so that'll make it that much more quick when I upgrade. But what ev's

I think this phone matches nexus easily in every aspect almost. Nexus is not better. This phone has great developers and there's nothing it can't do that the nexus can.

Indeed.
Besides, the Nexus 4 thread is actually spammed with people having problems with the phone, phone "breaks" randomly in their pocket, pics of broken Nexus 4s, etc

I gotta laugh at everyone that said the n4 blowwwwws the t989 out of the water in every way. Lol
First....go to the n4 forum and read the problems people are having.
Second ...a friend of mine got one...I played with it a bit. Severely unimpressed. Sure its speedy....but barely quicker than my t989. The display looks like crap compared to mine. And it simply seems fragile! Very!
I will hold on to my Hercules til it breaks or my contract ends and I feel like replacing it. Maybe. My phone does everything I want it too very well. So until phones will do my dishes and tune up my car....I'll maybe stick with what I got. Lol
As far as the n4 goes.....I doubt I'd even trade my phone for it. Actually ....no....I wouldn't.
Technical inferiority. It's sad that people have a right to have their own opinions. This thread is hilarious. Please, lets get some more xda noobs in here to cry some more.

Had a T989 but switched to Nexus 4 and believe me this phone is better in every way... screen, battery life, look and feel, great build quality, super fast and smooth, the two gigs of ram makes multitasking a joy, and I don't have to wait for xda developers to bring me the latest updates... all I can say is get you one

Seriously though to each his own I like sg2 thats just my preference.. Some like htc and motorola phones to me most of them are ugly damn phones but just my opinion. You like what you want as long as your happy with it right? That"s all that counts in the end of the battle of the phones. I am happy with my hercules for now!!!

I'm patiently waiting for shipping orders to finish. Then I'm selling this t989 and jumping ship back onto the Nexus. As far as what the guy up top said about development on the Nexus, clearly he's new to XDA. No phone has more dev support than the Nexus line does. In fact, much of your favorite AOSP roms were built and first released on Nexus devices. Not only that but Nexus devices always get Google's newest OS' first. The t989 doesn't even have full Jelly Bean GPU driver support.. you guys don't even know what project butter truly is yet.
Second, the t989s dual core s3/adreno 220 SoC cannot in anyway whatsoever compete with the quad s4 pro/adreno 320 SoC. You can clock this phone as high as you want and score 9000 on antutu and its still not enough to beat the 13,000 the s4 pro SoC averages.. and that's on stock builds.
Third, if you say the 720p IPS display isn't better than the 480p over saturated SAMOLED display on the t989, clearly you're either blind or couldn't tell a good display if one took a dump on your eyeballs. While blacks will never be as deep, color reproduction is much better on the Nexus 4. And if Voodoo follows suit like on the other Nexus devices, well be able to tweak and calibrate the screen to our will.
Battery life? Nexus 4 wins hands down. Build quality? The t989 looks like crap compared to the Nexus 4.
Working for T-Mobile, I've already played with about 4 Nexus 4s. They're beautiful devices. Super fast and smooth.
Now stop hating and come back to reality. This phone wasn't even better than the other GSIIs, let alone any flagship device released this year. We can all use the "my phone does everything well" excuse but frankly, so can my old single core Nexus S.
With that being said, you kids can continue making up all sorts of crazyness up in trying to justify your purchase over a brand new handset that's better in every conceivable way. It makes for some great comedy.

Don't take it so personal is all. No one was "crying" and some don't need the fastest phone on earth to be perfectly happy.
Seems the phone crowd has some min/maxers....which is fine ...their choice. I don't have a top of the line gaming computer either....my laptop "does what I want it to do" just fine. Just like my Hercules.
I will be keeping this phone for some time. I could buy an n4, or anything else for that matter, tomorrow .....but I feel no need to. That's me. Maybe not you.
Can't we all use whatever phone we want without the hate?
Read the n4 forum....many....many people saying the same things I said about the n4....I didnt make a call tho....so guess I missed out on hearing the buzzing everyone is excited about! Lol. Bottom line....for me.....never bought an LG product I was happy with.
Take care dude....guess you'll be off to live in the n4 forums!

Well see, your opinion makes sense. I can dig that. Unfortunately that's not the OPs reasoning as he full out stated that the t989 is better. You can be happy with whatever device you want. You can't take that away from anyone. But facts are facts. And this device doesn't come anywhere close to a Nexus 4. That's all I'm saying.
Anyways this thread is troll bait. Someone close it lol

Dropped it twice, waist high, No problems here seriously it's a phone with glass, just like the t989(don't think the t989 has gorilla glass 2 though) but if your not careful its going to break like every other phone.

As a former T989 owner and a current nexus 4 owner, this thread makes me laugh (and I was running AOKP jellybean on mine). Don't get me wrong, I loved my hercules and it is still a great phone, but let's be realistic here. The nexus 4 is hands down a better device in almost every way possible.
Screen
The display is far from "carp". Yes, if you are used to AMOLED displays (like the one on the T989), you will initially find the colors to be "washed out". But in reality, this is because AMOLED screens have grossly over-saturated and unrealistic colors. The blacks are not as deep as AMOLED but they are damn close (again this is due to the nature of IPS displays). Nexus 4 screen is much much sharper, the whites are actually white (and not blue like the one on the T989) and colors are more natural. There is a reason why most reviewers rate is as one of the best displays on any phone. IMO, there is no competition here.
Performance
Again, there is a big difference here (even with JB on the T989). Nexus 4 is smoother and snappier in general use. But heavy usage like gaming is where the biggest difference lies. As for benchmarks, the lower than expected scores are due to benchmark programs not being optimised for 4.2 (go see the difference between the new and old version of Antutu). And honestly, in reality, benchmarks don't mean s***. All I need to know is that this phone handles everything I throw at it without any hiccups and certainly much better than the T989. If you think that a two gen old dual core with 1 Gb ram preforms as a well as the current top end quad core with twice the ram, you are delusional.
Storage and battery
Storage is the only area where T989 has an advantage with its micro sd slot. If you are the type of person that needs to store all of your life on your phone then nexus 4 is not for you. Personally, I barely store anything on my phone (I had used up only about 4 gb of the internal space on my t989) as everything is on the cloud, so even the 8GB nexus 4 is more than enough. Again this is a personal thing so it's a disadvantage for some people but not others.
Battery life for me has been much better on the nexus 4 than on the t989. Obviously, everyone's usage is different so this will vary from person to person, but I'm extremely happy with mine.
Build quality
Here again, there is no competition. The nexus 4 has a much more solid build and has a very premium feel to it. My T989's plastic back started to creak like crazy just after a few days of owning it and it drove me crazy. I thought I was using a low-end entry level device rather than a premium product.
Yes the nexus has a glass back and yes glass cracks when you drop it...who knew huh? So if you are the type to drop your phone frequently, don't buy it or just get a case for it, end of story.
As for the problems being reported, very few newly released devices are without issues and this is a fact. T989 had it's fair share of problems, some of which have still not been fixed till this day (sticky power button anyone?). If you are someone who can't handle even a minor problem with your device, than a newly released phone is not for you (whether it be a nexus 4 or something else). And let's not forget that problems reported on online forums can be blown out of proportion. After all, only those who have issues are going to complain, while those without issues will probably remain silent. Personally, my nexus 4 is flawless, except for the slight static/buzzing problem from the earpiece reported by many people. However, this noise is very faint and inaudible during calls, so this is a non-issue for me. I'm confident that google will fix the issue and when they do, I will ask them to send me a replacement. After all, that's what the warranty is there for. In the mean time, I'm really enjoying owning this phone over my t989.
Oh and let's not forget about the pure android experience and the fact that you will get updates as soon as google releases them. Even if you are into modding, the nexus is the best phone for that as well as its modding community has always been the strongest out of any android phone. You guys really need to step back and look at things objectively here. As someone who has owned and lived with both phones, I can tell you that there is no competition between the two.
