Google is doing away with their Reader service. Oh. My. Gawd.

So who's excited for the premier of the S4 tonight? I'm trying to decide between that one and the HTC One for my next phone.

Some petitions already floating around. Might have to sign one for the first time.

Been checking out feedly the last bit and and while it is nice, and seems to manage cross device syncing pretty effectively, it still doesn't make me feel any better. It looks nice, but I don't need that jazz with huge pictures and cute transitions. Gonna see how well it links up across web client and phone and tab. Also a lot of these "alternatives" people talk about actually just utilize the reader service. Not encouraging so far.

Definitely interested to see what the SIV has in store, and what features - literally - get halved. I also hate the idea of eye tracking software. I'm surprised by the lack of uneasiness being expressed that I would have assumed many would share. :o

I'm really excited for it, but I must admit it will take a lot for me to own a non nexus phone again. Still I can't wait to see what new technology comes out with this phone.

I would have already got the Nexus 4 but I'm on Verizon so that won't work.

I'm in the same boat...been reading about the HTC One and it seems really nice and love the way its built but the battery life and not being able to change battery may be a problem ( my last 2 phones were HTC so I know how they go with that). Have seen where Sense 5 is a little sluggish at times..nothing to big. Really need to get a look at this Galaxy, have a side by side on specs and see what it does so I can get a new phone soon

if anybody wants to see unveiling its here.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

So Feedly is promising to clone and provide a google reader API and so long as you link up your account with them prior to service termination, you should be all good. I'd assume you could still use the imported data from takeout after then, but either way - if all goes as planned - things may not skip too much of a beat. Somewhat encouraging.

So when does Samsung lose the big ol' home button, too? At this point one has to think it's here for the foreseeable future. I was hoping, by now, that the software keys would have taken over. Was kind of hoping for a more significant hardware update, too. But the people seem to like it ...

I have a S3 and still hate that home button, I'm used to it now, but I still hate the way it looks on my phone.

Oh hell no

Yikes. Yeah the home button is more a visual niggle for me, admittedly, and I don't even own one! But I did think they'd have done away with it by now.

-edit

Terrible stage acts aside, a worthy upgrade I suppose. Guess we knew that octo-core (jesus) wasn't coming. Still think that eye tracking **** is too weird!

T-Mo is finally going live with LTE, soon. Some have already started receiving the signal.

I just received the update, currently hoping to catch the signal soon. However, even their 4G(HSPA+) has been boosted a bit.

So I upgraded (via push) my Droid Razr to Jellybean. Now in the browser whenever I type the auto-space doesn't work. It works in Chrome but not the default browser. Anyone know about this and/or if there will be a fix??
