Engadget’s Chris Ziegler: Of course, it’s like dating a supermodel: just because the DROID is unbelievably attractive doesn’t mean you want to marry it. Those that aren’t used to Android (or have tried it before and didn’t like it) might cringe at some of the platform’s nuances, and it’s still not as visually slick as [...]
MacNN: The single largest addition to the setup process is the integration of a clever Migration Assistant tool. Much like Apple’s software of the same name, it’s meant to transfer an existing system to a new one — in this case, to create a VM on a Mac from a Windows PC. It’s relatively painless [...]

The biggest problem was the balance between design, which was once a Motorola hallmark, and the phone’s performance. “When you are trying to make something [...]
PreCentral: Here we go again. Apple has updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 and Palm Pre sync is dead again using webOS 1.2.1, despite Palm’s Hurculean efforts to spoof nearly every aspect of USB identification known to mankind. As with previous breakages, iTunes does launch when you connect a Pre with Media Mode, but it doesn’t [...]
