Especially when Larry Page said that the raw material cost of a phone is like one dollar on stage today.

Thats everything if you want the name, there are other phones that are just as good or better at decent price.

Has there been an announcement on the successor to the Nexus 4? I think I will want to replace my iphone with the next generation, but not sure when that will be.

There was rumor of a Nexus 5 a month or two back being announced at I/O, but as far as I know that hasn't happened. Keep in mind the Nexus 4 is only 6 months old at this point, so I wouldn't expect anything too huge in terms of an upgrade if they do release something this spring.

Samsung claiming 5G will offer Google Fiber-like speeds over the air. Estimating availability in 2020(which might be well before most of us have access to Google Fiber, at the rate it's going)

Sounds like your ports worn like mine was, if you can spare $40 and about 20 minutes to swap out a ribbon cable she'll be working good as new in no time:http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/9...+charging+port

I think the fact that they are selling a GS4 in the play store with stock android on it now is pretty good evidence that there won't be another Nexus phone at least until fall. I hope they are using Motorola and building the Google Jesus phone for this fall since my contract is up in September. I have to be on Verizon though, and I have a feeling that whatever they come up with will not be available on Verizon

That's cool, and it looks like the ports are on ebay for less than $10 now. Seems a big scary though, since I bet if you fuck it up the insurance is not going to cover you.
Can't wait to see what this stuff ends up doing to our devices:

My hope is that we can use this type of technology to get a smartphone that doesn't cause you a $500 to $750 panic attack every time it drops from 3 inches or more from the ground. I'd be far more willing to pay $500 and up for a phone outright if it wasn't so damn flimsy. We used to throw our old Nokias against the wall when we were drunk in college because those fuckers were nigh indestructible.

I've only had my iphone a couple of months and I already want to trash it. What a piece of shit. Should've just bought the Nexus like I originally wanted to.

We might be able to fully charge our cell phones in 30 seconds in the near future, thanks to a highschool science fair winner

Yeah what a dumb article. There is no way to charge a li-ion battery in 30 seconds without it combusting into a pile of ash. This is why they all use trickle chargers, even in a wall socket type charger.
Maybe what they meant was the super-cap could be charged in 30 seconds.

Charge the supercap and that charges the battery as you use it? Probably. Not exactly ground breaking if two internet sleuths figured it out.
