TI recently announced they’ll be expanding the focus of their chips to “automotive, industrial, enterprise communication, vision and robotics”, but they won’t give up on the mobile phone and tablet market.
Has that changed? And more importantly, why would Amazon, which is a retail and service company, spend billions of dollars to get its own chipset making business?
Amazon recently revealed they are not making any profit on the hardware of the Kindles (they serve more as a storefront), so if they’re the ones making the chipset powering the Kindle Fire tablets (also Barnes&Nobles Nook tablets) they might be able to reduce the manufacturing costs somewhat.
But enough to justify a deal worth billions of dollars? It might, if Amazon was planning to make more than just Kindle tablets. There were rumors of an Amazon phone, but the company might also go the digital video player route a la Apple TV or Nexus Q – they certainly have the multimedia library for it.
What else? Well, Amazon is maintaining a lot of data centers for EC2 and their own needs and ARM-based servers have been gaining popularity lately (and TI’s OMAP 5 that’s based on Cortex-A15 would be a good fit for something like that).
Of course, all this is just speculation – the two companies haven’t even confirmed that such a deal is being discussed. But Amazon is certainly a company that aggressively breaks new ground, so it just might be true.

Do you think its good? I didn't like the idea.
It would be a money sink for Amzn. The semi business is struggling to make money.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Rather Google buy them.

That is funny, I just got off the phone with those clowns and no one knew what I was talking about. I pointed the service dude to the web and listened while he read it followed with a 'huh...not sure'.
I then did a search and came up with your thread (from today!!). Great minds I tell you, or are you just as bored at work as I am today
Either way, No love for ICS (phone variety) and no streaming like ios. Just another reason for me to hate TWC!!
Customer service has no clue...wish it was supported!!!
My girlfriend can run it on her (crappy) HTC Aria. Works well too.
I may have to try my old DInc (it is wifi only at this point) when I get home. I do hope they get the live TV watching working (like Direct TV has) shortly.
My girlfriend has an Ipad (I'm not an apple fan myself) and TWC has a NICE app people can watch tv on their Ipads with. Pretty impressive.
If they made something like that for Android it would be awesome!
The only catch is you have to be connected to your TWC road runner at home for it to work, so its kinda pointless really, unless you don't own a TV - in which case why pay for cable?
hey sorry every body i work for twc and they do not tell us anything about it i has a 5 min training while i was on a call with a customer about the app. also this was 1 day before release date. please just don't be mad at us on the phones.
Blogging site Xanga just released an app and it's not accessible for anything running 3.0+. As soon as I open the app, I get this.

Is there any way of "tricking" the app into thinking I'm running 2.3 or something? I've spoken to the developer and he said they only had 2.3 devices to test with so until they get something newer, they aren't looking into it. Any thoughts?

Tell them to download 4.0 simulator... crazy replied from the developer
I told them to root their phones and install an ICS rom.

I've found that most developers are pretty good with updating their apps for new versions. Right before the Galaxy Nexus came out I remember my phone/tablet grabbing tons of updates, and usually the update notes would say "Android 4.0 compatibility added".
But there are some developers who have either abandoned their apps completely, or just don't see the need to invest in keeping their apps updated and in tip-top shape. It's a shame, because I feel a lot of them are primarily interested in iOS, and ported their stuff over because of the demand for Android versions, but then don't really think investing their time into the Android version is worth their while.
All a part of the ecosystem I guess. Good thing about Android is that if an app isn't coded to work properly or gets abandoned, there are usually quite a few alternatives.
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, mods please move/delete if inappropriate.
I have access to a window sticker manufacturer who can do me some Waving Android window stickers like these:

I'm not after making a fortune off these, just a small handling and postage charge per sticker.
Would anyone be interested in them before I get him to make me a load?

How much for one
Sent from my LTEVO
I'm waiting to find out. If there's a demand for them I'll get a bunch printed up. May look at passing any profit onto an appropriate charity too. Suggestions would be welcomed.
Cheers,
BS...
Can get them made and posted for £3, so I'd probably go for £4 with the profit (after handling charge) going to charity. I'd say 60p going to charity from the sale of each one.
Cheers,
BS...
Renegotiated with the manufacturer and can now get them made and posted for £1.50, so I would sell them for £2.50 with 60p from each sale going to an appropriate charity.
The initial batch I've had made are 10cm wide, but I've asked for them to be increased in width to 15cm.
Is this the correct forum to sell these, or is there an actual place for selling on here?
Cheers,
BS...
Is your posted price only for shipping within the UK, or also for international orders?
That would be UK only, international postage rates would apply.
BS...
Quite disappointed with the response to be honest. I thought we might have a few more after them.
Oh well, it was worth a punt I suppose.

O+ and Google partnership now offers a Stadia plan with the hardware delivered
Buy OnePlus - OnePlus (United Kingdom)
www.oneplus.com
Stadia
www.oneplus.com
I personnaly feel a bit wronged and really want to know if very first O+9 series buyer can be included in this offer
What are you thought about that ??
Not uncommon for manufacturers to offer something to customers after the initial rush for the hardware. OP offered earbuds for the OP7 after the first wave of the devices went out and ended just before I bought my OP7 Pro. As far as Stadia goes, meh... I got one for free last year from Google for having a YT Red account. I've played it maybe a dozen times. It would NOT be what made me buy a OP product.
I got a free Fitbit Versa 3 from Three UK a few weeks after I got the phone, they had a choice of that, Galaxy Buds or a bluetooth speaker, since I didn't have a smartwatch and don't really listen to music using my phone, went for the watch.
This is what they're currently offering :

They text you a code 2-3 weeks after the purchase with a link to go to and claim your free order.
Well I assume this gift are coming from your carrier
I bought my O+ directly from Oneplus and the wireless charger was offered during the preorder period.
I'll try to contact them to know if we can be attached to this new offer that I find really pleasant

Three were offering the wireless charger during pre-order too, sadly I couldn't upgrade until after the release date.

Apple Watch Series 7 CELLULAR
THE EXTRA POSSIBILITY OF THIS WATCH VERSUS A NORMAL APPLE 7 IS THAT THE CELLULAR VERSION HAS AN eSIM 4G WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO LEAVE YOUR iPHONE AT HOME AND STILL BE ONLINE. YOU CAN RECEIVE CALLS AND ANSWER THEM WHILE YOUR PHONE IS ON YOUR DESK. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NORMAL 7 AND A CELLULAR ONE IS INDICATED ON THE GOLDEN CROWN. THE 4G VERSION HAS A READ CIRCLE IN THE CROWN (see image).
Please feel free to share issues, questions and offer help
The only drawback of this type of watch is that 1. you need a provider that supports this watch and 2. it costs extra money on a monthly basis cause it uses of course data.

Not necessarily. I’ve had an Apple Watch since 2016 and only last year decided to get a data plan for it. It costs me $5 a month for the plan and I see the value in having it. Otherwise, it would just use data on my phone’s plan. The advantage of the Watch having its own data plan is that it can operate autonomously and I don’t always have to have my phone with me. Great for running, quick trips to the store or drop in visits around the neighborhood. I get your point though, it does seem like overkill.
