We’ve answered this a few times, but we’re continuing to merge the sites together in a very slow way.

When do you see some of the unique features of Android finally making a big splash. For example, NFC and mobile payments. Only available on Android, or unless you have that card reader for iOS. Same thing with Android Beam.

Are we just doomed by the advancement that technology is so far ahead that normal everyday people will never catch up?, Or is the general populous so brainwashed by an iPhone that we have to wait until they have it before it is something that gets used consistently?

I have a Droid X and a legacy unlimited data plan. Can I tether without being charged any fees from VZW?

I rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for the first time last week, and flashed an AOSP JB rom. What apps do you like that are root only?

I pre-ordered my VZW GS3 knowing it had a “locked” bootloader. The
morning it was to be delivered, July 11th, I read here on Droid-Life
that Samsung was going to sell a developer edition that was unlocked.
That afternoon I listed my untouched GS3 on ebay.

I’ve been sitting on that money for a month and a half now with no word.
Samsung’s page continues to mock me with “Coming Soon!” I have searched
the bowels of google and there has been nothing new about it since that
page went live July 15th.

Is there going to be a developer edition of the GS3? Will it be soon? Or
should I cave and buy the Verizon locked phone and pray they don’t do
anything to block the exploit in the future? I love ROMing my G-Nex, but
every now and then I go stock just to see the new updates vanilla. I
don’t want to be stuck with ROMs for the rest of its life.

Is Android missing anything for you guys? Are there features that still aren’t there yet, or is there something you’d like to see from the hardware side?

That is true, but it has everything to do with being able to update your phone yourself with the latest version of Android, while your OEM and carrier drag their feet or (like in the case of the DROID3) abandon you completely! I went from OG to DROID3 to Gnex. I will never buy a locked bootloader again. Never.

From what I can tell from most of the blogs I follow “Technology” Monday-Friday business like everything else, outside of any conferences (which happen on weekends). So most sites don’t have much to post on the weekend as far as “news” is concerned. Droid-Life guys please correct me if I’m wrong.

At the very beginning of the Google I/O Conference, I believe there’s a K sighting… briefly.
