I'll take one.

Want.

I haven't used Google Maps Navigation myself yet, but based on what I've heard from my Droid friends the directions are slightly less reliable and the street name pronunciation is terrible compared to Telenav.

That said, as much as I love Telenav I really doubt I'll continue paying $10 a month for its perks over the Google Maps app.

I'm running CyanogenMod Android 1.6 and the new Google Maps won't install. It gives me an error about the package not being signed correctly.

You're making a pretty big leap, here. This is not evidence that a 2.0 backport isn't coming. Google has been releasing Maps updates ahead of system updates for quite a while now, this is nothing new.

They tried that already, and the tech blogs convinced them to cancel it.

That would make no sense at all. Besides both being written by Google, everything else about these two operating systems makes them polar opposites that could never possibly be joined into one.

Android was designed from the ground up as a base for running applications. Absolutely everything about its design was made in order to support third party applications.

Chrome OS was designed with no support for third party applications whatsoever.

How could those two ever possibly merge? Any attempt to combine them would basically result in one being cancelled in favor of the other since they have total opposite design philosophies. Adding Android apps to Chrome would basically give you Android with a nicer browser, and removing apps from Android would basically give you the smartphone version of Chrome OS. There is no middle-ground between them.

Also keep in mind that almost all "unlocked" smartphones sold in the US use AT&T's 3G bands exclusively, so they could just be lining themselves up to sell it unlocked like the last Xperia phone.

There was a typo in there (it was supposed to say "play it safe" obviously) but on what other levels did I fail? I simply meant that $70 is a lot to pay for a mouse when there's tons of $20 mice out there that are perfectly respectable.

My DS Lite broke a few months back and I was thinking about replacing it with a DSi. I might as well wait for this thing to come out, since I consider the regular DS Lite to be too large to carry around town anyway. If I'm just playing it around the house, I might as well have a big screen, right?
