That's a shame, so you're saying if Street Fighter IV comes out on Android that it'd just install the .exe in on-board memory and save the rest of the files to an SD card which can range from Class 2 to Class 6 (or Class 10) which may cripple the game? Yeah, I can see more complex apps doing what "your company" does.

There is no crippling. It's what any app has to do, and really a class 2 SD card is plenty fast enough to pull any data off of (except video) that you won't even notice the difference unless the programmers are idiots. You cache and stream data if you need it at a moments notice.

It doesn't matter if data is stored on a hard drive, internal memory (which is like SD cards, though a bit better), or DVD. It can't all be in ram at the same time.

Mobile apps developers have to be much craftier and efficient than desktop developers. They have been dealing with limitations since the start. The iphone and android are making things easier for them. Don't worry about the complex programs, they will always find a way.

I'm not sure I get your tone by quoting "your company". The company I work for has been around for 30 years. They must be doing something right.

Switching to verizon tomorrow; plan on getting the droid or a bb curve to see if the incredible comes out before the 30 day period? do yall recomend this?
Click to expand...

i would say no...if you must switch tomorrow, i would pick up a used phone on ebay to use until the incredible is out. There is nothing that makes me think will be for sure out in 30 days.

You're probably right, he's probably taking info from here and posting it there.....lol. Damn rumor wheel is coming full circle again.
 
Incredible's info from woodraskam

140. ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL
141. ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-verizon
142. ro.url.legal=http://www.google.com/intl/%s/mobile/android/basic/phone-legal.html
143. ro.url.legal.android_privacy=http://www.google.com/intl/%s/mobile/android/basic/
privacy.html

So would the above indicate that the Incredible info is the Verizon Nexus one?

No, I think those are there for all Android phones, not just the Nexus 1.


Same thing is in the Eris dump:

Hey guys,

I've been lurking on this post for a few weeks now, and I've decided my first post would be this, as any information I've found out on the phone has already been discussed and dissected by all the awesome people here. Everyday that goes by I just can't go without checking up on the latest news on the incredible...i'm pretty much OBSESSED with this damn phone that it's kinda scary even to myself, lol; you guys just make me laugh with some of the awesome comments and make working that much more enjoyable ;) Anyways, I have a question to ask those of you who have been with verizon much longer than i have, and I would just like some suggestions/opinions/perspective on what to do with my dilemma. It might be a little long, so hopefully you guys will read it! :o

I am the primary account holder, and my NE2 is coming up on 5/7/2010 in the amount of $100 (so that will save me quite some money on the incredible whenever it comes out, which I'm sure it will if all signs point to an April release date :D ). I'm getting really fed up with my Samsung Alias 2 though, and i'm getting quite impatient and would like a phone to hold me over until the release of the incredible.

My question is: should I purchase an Eris? If so, should I do it online or go into an actual store (because I know it's more expensive in stores usually). I know I can't use my NE2 now, so if I buy an Eris and return it within the 30 day period and the incredible is out by then, will I be able to do so and still be eligible for my NE2? Or will my NE2 be forfeited if I upgrade now, and will I be forced to get the Incredible at retail price? I also would like to change my contract to add a data package, and am considering bumping up the minutes on the plan (I'm on a family plan). Would any of this affect my NE2 for the incredible? :(

Or...should I just shut up and be patient for whenever the incredible is released? :confused: Any response would be appreciated...but please don't flame me. It's a question I feel more comfortable asking you all here since most of you have had contracts with VZW longer and have probably done the whole return within 30 days thing. Thanks again! :)
 
Tyler ◥◤ Mills I can't give my source. Feel free not to believe me, you absolutely have the right. HTC is on schedule. Verizon is the only one that could delay the release even more (i.e. Droid 2.1 update). Verizon is being very picky about phone releases for some unknown reason.

@Patrick Cartelli Definitely watching RIT :)

It's me. I really can't give my source. You guys are going to have to trust me, I fully understand if you are not willing to. I'll be around if you wish to kill me if the dates go by uneventfully. :D

No. The Curve has nothing on the Droid (I own a Curve) and if you get the Droid you will be out of luck if the Incredible ships more than 30 days after your purchase. Just wait. You'll be happier.:)

The information wasn't given to me by anyone from Android Forums.
 
Has anyone been able to confirm that the Incredible WILL have Voice to Text? I know that the Desire, which is also running Sense 2.1, DOES NOT have Voice to Text ANYWHERE on the device. Obviously nothing can be a guarantee at this point but I thought it was kind of discouraging.

Edit: It may just be that at this point the Desire isn't available in the U.S. as of yet and the Google Voice is more geared toward the American Accent. Maybe they omitted it from any European released phone.

I'd say if the Desire doesn't have it, then the Incredible will also be out of luck. This seems to be more of an OS (Read Sense 2.1) feature than anything to do with hardware, and might be available later with an update.

Edit: Thanked 500 times......boom Roasted. Thanks guys.
