@MattSpeller Related to that PowerStrip thread you made a bit ago?

Asus is starting to offer phones with CPU upgrade options. Never seen that before.
Very interesting.

Doing some package deployments. Hoping to hit the bar tonight. Had an awesome night last night hanging out with the local politicians (vote is in two weeks.) Actually had them take me and my friends back to their houses to party.

I usually just ship mine, not send them to war.

@thecreativeone91 What is that phone that is the one where everything is a module? I don't think it is out on the market yet... '
I wouldn't mind triyng the Futurefone from IdealFuture (http://www.idealfuture.com) one of these days... maybe after my Note 4 dies.
Nope, it's coming in February, review units are already out. It's not modular though.
I don't think the FutureFone is viable though, to many engineer nightmares to overcome with that ambitious idea.
-
@thecreativeone91 What was that one coming in February called?

I think it is a very ambitious idea! That's part of the reason I like it. I do think you are right though, there's a lot of ways it could go very, very, even spectacularly badly, lol.
I'd still like to get my hands on the kit for a day or two even if it is just to get the Good, the Bad, and the Broken.

@dafyre An Update to the Zen Phone 2 I think is what is is. It uses Intel Atom CPUs with Android which is odd.
-
Apparently the ZenPhone 2 can already be ordered with two different CPU choices now.
-
Phonebloks is the one I was thinking of... (https://phonebloks.com/en).

Really cool pocket sized drone:

I've managed to live with my Galaxy S4 since July 2013. Frankly I really started to hate the phone at the 9 month mark, though to be fair, I think perhaps my problems where caused by my recharging habits - that first summer was pretty brutal on my phone, full to dead in 6 or less hours, recharge and do it again for about 2 months straight.
I picked up a Lumia 635 last Dec 2014 and been using that as my primary phone since then. While it's a bit under powered and the camera totally sucks, overall I'm pretty happy with it. I really want to get a 640 XL - more power, better camera - BIGGER...

Everything is that way. If you want to use the iPad for real data entry you need to buy a keyboard.
Yeah but the iPad isn't marketed as being for that. It's a tablet and just a tablet. To use it the way it is primarily intended, marketed and spoken about all you need is the iPad and a normal case. I have many iPads and don't use keyboards or any add ons. The SP is all about attempting to be a laptop which to make it even a poor laptop requires buying extra stuff.
You're right there - but I think the marking is changing. All I ever hear these days is.. when can I use an iPad to chart? When can I carry around only my iPad, etc, etc...
-
@Dashrender Looking at phones today as well. I really like the Asus ZenFone2 with two exceptions.
- Phone. No. F.
- Why no vanilla android?
I'd buy it right this second if I didn't have to root it and have all that hassle.

For a flagship phone, I'm really torn on what I want. I like the Galaxy S6 or the Note 4... (the Edge is just stupid!) but then - I really like my Windows phone too - problem.. I really want my Starbucks app back - I know it's lame but I do.. and I'll miss Google maps and Google Drive, etc.. Here maps is ehh at best!

You may want to look at the LG G3 (is the G4 out?) I replaced my Note 2 with it. I heard the Note 4 is a huge step but I'm really liking the G3. I've been getting crazy good battery life with it recently too.

Sammy's stuff is really nice and all but I can get that ZenPhone for $300USD straight up no contract, which gets me a 15% discount on my plan.
$80mth x 24mths x 0.15 = $288.....
Waaiiiiiiiiiit that's not a great deal at all........ glad I did the math now.
-
@Dashrender If you are using Windows Phone 8/8.1, check and see if Waze is available (I think it is)... I've used that for a while. It's really cool.
I got the Note 4 and love it . I take notes with it, as well as draw (well doodle... I love to doodle, lol). It is generally fast -- even though I keep it on PowerSave mode all the time (habbit from my note 3, lol).
-
@dafyre If you can get Verizon, you don't have to fork out the $$ for the phone up front... You can pay for it over a couple of years and then upgrade again at 18 months if you want.
