Got Windows 10 on my SP2, it's fine. I find myself missing certain things from windows 8 like swiping in from the side and hitting settings and control panel. It's just small things. Had to minimize the search task bar icon, that was a disaster and got rid of the view switching one.
It's very eh to me. I think edge browser or whatever is an improvement over IE cause it's actually fast, but I'm not switching off chrome anytime soon for synchronization.
Overall this is what Windows 8 should have been for the consumers who fear change, it's much more like 7, but honestly I find myself plenty of times missing features from 8.1

I can't get my bass to work anymore haha.
So I had far and away the best practical case for why Android Wear rocks. I assume you can do the same with Apple Watch but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway. Saturday Night I lost a healthy chunk of my screen to the streets of Philadelphia (mroe accurately the parking lot of the Linc) so my phone was worthless. Of course I have not picked a better time to break my phone. Any other time, Saturday morning, could have had it monday, Friday, could have had it saturday or monday, Sunday, at least I could have had one more night of phone usage.
Anyway. Travelling home from NJ I hit potential ruin in Connecticut as 3 lanes of 84 were closed because of an accident. I was able to use my watch to get directions. And I was able to use voice texting to stay in touch.

Note 5 coming in the mail today. Bought it kind of knee-jerk, now debating whether or not I should have. Smaller battery, no SD expansion slot, same internals as the S6.
This is the Blackberry Venice, the phone I've wanted for like 4 years now.Originally Posted by Hawk
Coming out in November. Slider phone with physical keyboard (and VKB also), going to run a hybrid Blackberry/Android OS, and a beautiful screen to boot. Oh and still has MicroSD slot as well! Don't care much for the Curved Edges like the S6 Edge, but a Blackberry Phone with availability for Android Apps but still has the Blackberry Hub's smooth OS is going to be great!
Going to drop my Note 4 for this!

That looks very, very tempting -- checks a lot of boxes.
No Super AMOLED screen like Samsung's, but still QUAD HD.
I got the Note 4 in March but I'd be willing to buy this out of contract. I haven't had a BB since the Torch 2 slider, and I would've stayed with them had they offered a successor. Once I went to the Note 2 I never wanted a screen smaller again to watch videos on my phone. Had the Blackberry Classic for a few days and then returned because it was slow and screen was small. Had a Note 4 ever since, but I'd drop it if this Venice phone in November is as good as I think it will be.
I also went back to Note because my Moto360 wouldn't work with a BB, but since this phone is going to be a BB/Android hybrid OS, it will work with it. And the Micro slot is great since other phones are moving away from it... I need my external storage!
This is about as modern of a smartphone BB has ever produced that was aimed at a bigger modern demographic than their business people. I think this is about the best of a big screened/physical keyboard compromise we'll see. The Dell Venue Pro was promising but it ran Windows, and I couldn't get it under contract only direct from Dell.

Pic of the virtual keyboard. I won't use it as much (I'm so used to Swyping with Notes), but it is optional.

This was the Venue Pro that I wanted, but the Windows thing... yeah.

New Moto X is the best phone IMO. I love the idea of the pure edition as well.

iPad pro is a massive ripoff.
799 for a 32 gig model, 12.9 inch screen, mobile processor and OS
Surface pro 3 starts with a 64 gig model, i3 processor and real PC OS
And the Surface Pro comes with it's "Pen" and iPad pro wants another 99 for it's pencil. So if you have that factored in you could buy the surface pro 3 with 128 gig hd and i5.

NOt that I'd ever spend the money on it, but Surface Pro 4 can go up to an i&, 16 gigs of ram and a 1 TB SSD. Sets you back about 2700 though. The 2700 dollar surface book sounds kind of cool. Has an i7, 512 gig SSD, 16 gigs of ram and a dedicated GPU (doesn't specify, but having a dedicated GPU built into a tablet is something I can get behind)
Also announced is the Roku 4, which has some cool features. 4K support (though my XBox does that already so not a reason for me to buy it)
If you were considering a Roku, I'd certainly buy the 4, but I dont' need it. XBox handles the big TV.

So it's all but confirmed Apple is ditching the standard 3.5MM jack for a lightning connector headphone.
Really bad move IMO. 2 reasons why it sucks. First, charging your phone and listening to music at the same time? Second is continued proprietary accessories. Personally I hope this backlashes because to me I love having one headphone jack and one charging jack. Seriously it rocks. Now apple will be artificially increasing the price on many headphone manufacturers and it will be passed along to the consumers. Can you imagine having to pay for either the added cost of someone developing 2 different headphones, or including a jack for the iPhone?
It's just not good for the consumers. Consumers need to rebel against this. Make the iPhone 7 the worst selling iPhone ever and it will send a clear message to Apple. I wouldn't buy one anyway, so maybe I'm annoyed because I'm not the target market, but I would be if I was an Apple user.

Wonder what the cause is? I think iPhone is hurt by the ditching of the 2 year contract. THey used to make so much money off it.

Market saturation.
That plays a part, but it doesn't explain the drop, especially with the iPhone trade in plan.

Ordered a OnePlus 3 today. Excited!
Moto360 second gen came in. Looks better than gen 1 easily.
