Jul 2nd 2009 11:54AM Good point troy, but I wonder, they don't mind having all those WinMo phones on AT&T, why not Google? Especially since Apple has been having such a good working relationship with them.
What probably will happen tho is HTC will sell them unlocked in Best Buy, Radioshack and other outlets.

Actually every commercial that has to do with cell phones SHOW THE PHONE BEING USED. AT&T commercials for phones always show it being used, as does Verizon, T-mobile, even Alltel. Samsung, LG and the small amount of HTC commercials all do as well. Your argument really wasn't smart or thought out, you just wanted to immaturely bash WinMo users.

I've seen you breathlessly and tireslessly defend hip-hop and it's elements successfully in two post now and I'm extremely impressed with your knowledge of the arts. The problem with a website like this is most of the hip-hop heads don't post on this site (because there are millions of us) and this is why we get ignorant generalizations of the genre we love.
Shag says there's no improvisation in DJing?! PLEASE! I was roommates with a DJ and I NEVER heard him do the same mix twice whether it was when he was practicing (yes good DJs actually DO PRACTICE) or when he was doing a live set. They have to feed off of the crowd and know what's working, when to slow things down and when to speed things up. I would actually submit that DJing has way more improv than your typical live music set because bands (whether rock, jazz, country, r&b, etc) use a set list. They hardly stray from it (even encores are planned) and the only improv comes within songs themselves.
Good DJs also have the ability to take to records and actually make it into a completely different sounding song (and I'm not talking just blends or mash-ups), I've witness a DJ make a completely new beat on the fly by cross fading, rewinding & transforming (type of scratch) two records almost simultaneously, it was amazing. He then recorded that to a device, and put an acapella over it all seemlessly. THAT is the mark of a great DJ.
Lastly, if you've EVER tried to DJ and be a good one, you'd know there's no room for laziness in DJing or you'll find yourself without gigs quick.
Learn the culture before you generalize. I'd be wrong to say rock was just a bunch of uninspired whiney no bassed voice boy bands wearing skinny jeans, right?

Jun 3rd 2009 11:56AM Good point Malice.
It's incredibly frustrating when game companies give us Rock Band and us hip-hop heads have no problems, but as soon as a game like this is announced, all the humming and hawing comes out from all of the ignorant gamers who know nothing about the genre beyond what they see on MTV Jams and TV stereotypes. In checking the comments so far, it seems like that will be the prevailing notion regardless of the fact that hip-hop is trending to be the #1 selling genre.

Jun 1st 2009 4:52PM Actually, I spotted a 120 GB HDD on google shopping for $75 yesterday. MSFT HAS to put out a 250 or even 500 GB HDD for this endeavor so that price should drop even more.
