Also... Droid 2.0 phone on Verizon vs iPhone 3gs on AT&T?  Calebs loves the iPhone, but Verizon has the superior network and the Droid appears to have some neat features... that is if it isn't a total piece of shit like Calebs leads me to believe the current Droid phones are like.  Thoughts?

read the whole article: BBC NEWS | Technology | 'Magnetic electricity' discovered (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8307804.stm#)

Still a little confused I've a A.S. in Physics and I still have a hard time believing this article from even the BBC.

I almost believe this to be right up there with Cold Fusion. :?:

For this to happen then we need to reevaluate magnetic field theory.

Wouldn't this idea go against Maxwell's field theory? :?:

Eh, it says they ACT like monopoles in some aspects.  Sounds like somebody wasting somebody elses money.

at least someone is actually challenging conventional wisdom, remember when we thought the earth was flat/center of universe/god was real.
oh wait were still working on that last one.

As long as it's just Johnny's I'm okay with that.

The first part is honestly over my head, so I'll just go to what I know. I bought the g1 after reading about it in Wired Magazine, and I'm very impressed with the OS. My good friend has the Iphone, and the only real difference I've found between the two is the amount of storage space and the 3.5mm headphone jack. If you haven't seen the Android 2.0 OS, look it up. They have blown their original OS out of the water, and it looks like a good competition for the Iphone, especially being on Verizon's network.

I personally am dropping t-mobile to hop back on verizon (which I left to get the g1, big mistake) to get the new Android. Google is going to be a big competitor in the wireless game, and will probably take over Apple in the smartphone game. Google is joining up with multiple cell phone companies so that their OS is on many different styles of phones, unlike the Iphone. They are doing things right definitely, I'm just waiting to see what's next. And I'm not bashing the Iphone, its probably the best smartphone out right now, I just don't like how Apple is always "exclusive" with their products.

I don't particularly care for AT&T, but the service isn't bad and the iphone is ridiculous.

2.0 does look pretty damn nice.

Wondering how Android 3.0 will compare to iPhone 3.0 :P

I'm waiting on the HTC Dragon with its 1.0ghz snapdragon processor and bigass 800x480 screen...it's basically the HTC Leo but with Android...

I'm kinda curious how the Motorola Sholes/Droid will be coming out soon with 2.0...  1.6 just rolled out.
