Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

I know with my blackberry, the phone converts the flash file to a video file to view the video. With the flash enabled device, you can natively watch the video just as you would on your computer without any process in between.

So if I understand you correctly, the YouTube app on my TP is a video converter and video player?
 
Hey, I've got a question what with all this talk about flash this and flash that. . . . I've got an old HTC Touch Pro that came with a YouTube app on it from Sprint to watch (obviously) YouTube videos. So if YouTube videos are flash based how is it that I can watch YouTube videos on my old Touch Pro and there's not flash available on mobile phones.

I know call me stupid but I'm obviously missing something and I really don't understand.

YouTube app doesn't use flash, it's programmed to read the file directly from YouTube's server. Your TouchPro will never have flash because the hardware inside your phone isn't capable of handling flash applications, in theory it could but it would lag tremendously.
 
This is the flagship device for Sprint. It has to come out in May. Like I said before. If this phone comes out in late May as Bill and the rest of us hopes for, it will get all the attention. As much as I hate to admit it, June is the month of the apple. Sprint does not want their flagship phone to be overshadowed. Look we all know the EVO destroys the iphone but unfortunately there are so many iphone users out there.
 
about time bill came around to the may 22 date ;)

anyways, about the whole storage for apps thing....it's been noted in other threads and other websites that what the evo is rumored to have for app storage is more than enough.

the average app is a bit less than 1mb. LESS THAN 1MB. if it's more, the app is broken into parts and the core part (exe or engine or whatever) resides in the allocated app area while other parts (audio, jpg, other data, etc) are stored on the sd card or mass storage area.

and if you're still worried about that storage thing:

possibly on froyo. relax people.
 
This was posted by Ajac. I would like to see some comfirmation from another source before I get all worked up. Not sure but Ajac has been trying to stir up stuff for some time now. He was Mr Negative " I don't beleive anything unless Sprint says it" not that long ago.
 
Here ya go... not a very good picture I'm afraid:

DOH! Was already beaten to it!
I guess they did not have the correct information next to it yet because from what I can make out the bottom left blurred image says FREE. :)
 
Well according to Mr. Jobs, flash is old tech anyway :rolleyes:. Im just excited that we are getting closer to certainty. That we will all know when we can expect one in our hands. Im getting really tired of being in the mall with my wife and dragging her into the phone stores like t-mobile and showing her the hd2 and saying "its gonna be like this but better!" and then her rolling her eyes and telling me im such a nerd.
 
Mainly a lurker so I don't post too much but I thought I would share this. Over at ppcgeeks.com someone said they took a pic of an evo that was just getting ready to be displayed in the store.

Pic of Evo in a Sprint store!! - PPCGeeks

nice find! call me naive but it looks legit to me. looks like a Sprint store clear plastic display holder with white and yellow paper with specs behind it with power and alarm security cables snaked erect from bottom. i also recognize that Sprint store honey colored wood table. so they are setting up display and security? this is beyond just an "Advocate" getting it early.

my upgrade is June 1 and i will be in full schmooze mode to get this puppy early if it comes out in May.

No it wasn't buddy, look at the first post in that thread.

If Ajac is the same Ajac from ppcgeeks, then I can vouch for him as someone who helps the community out whenever he can, and he is definitely not someone who's just trying to stir things up.

sorry i thought it was comming from his Evo Sprint Advocate chosen at my local Sprint store post,

I checked 3 local Sprint stores that Don't know anything about anyone getting phones yet. They still say June or Summer, not getting my hopes up yet.

Looking forward to what Jackson and SP have to say about May 22nd

Jackson and SP would only be able to speculate as well. I think I gave pretty convincing reasons why I believe the May 22nd date, but again, it's just speculation.

wow you sure did a 180. now you can't stop beating that May drum. it might come out early just by your sheer will!
I think I gave good reasons for my turnaround. Don't you?

read back 2 weeks ago and members began ignoring his posts in here, so I do not know if it is the same person. I don't want to start anything, just having my doubts

oh i'm not questioning your turnaround. just your inclusion of "May 22" in every other one of your posts like some kind of mantra or chant to the smartphone gods.

i think SP already said Sprint could release in May if they wanted to. No one understands what reasons Sprint does things because they do it wrong most of the time. So lets hope for a change in that.
 
Just for fun I am going to drop a speculative post like Bill on why I think May 22nd is the date;.

Should I do it here or in another section of the forum?
