Ally McBeal (Damn, did it again….)

Eli Stone (lots of singing in that one)

Let’s see…what other shows might you think are “lame” or “uncool”…

Seriously, the rest of us left 3rd grade ages ago. Why don’t you join us?

PhoenixPath… seriously, you don’t get to talk anymore, now that you’ve brought up Ally McBeal. Jesus. Holy crap, man.

A lot of the features don’t work yet, but that’s expected.

This is a very nice taste of the OS. Right now, it’s a bit laggy and unresponsive (expected on a Galaxy Nexus) and it lacks a ton of options and features. But the UI is innovative and beautiful. Although I do feel helpless sometimes as I don’t know WTF to do when there are no buttons to perform actions.

Yes, sprint does. And yes, I think all CDMA binaries are closed source

The software used to run the CDMA radio’s are proprietary, and cannot be shared without paying a licensing fee

Can’t take credit. I think I got that ages ago from the show Ally McBeal. I think the character was Elaine…

Hopefully there will be a flashable zip somehow. Considering it’s not very stable/feature full, I don’t really want to restore factory images to go back to Android. I don’t have time.

I would guess not: different CPU configuration and what-not.

I am sure devs will be able to port it over, but I wouldn’t expect it to be anyone’s first priority as it would only barely be functional at best.
