    You don't.
    I think what Cry is trying to tell us is that it has the largest installed base...

    Which is only expected seeing that the OS is free and it's installed by multiple vendors... the really alarming thing would be if they're not #1...

    Perhaps you should take it up with them.

    I'd like a widget, super small, that lets me toggle my screen lock on and off, thereby eliminating the need for going into the settings menu. Maybe it alreadu exists, I don't know.

    Android Pulls Ahead in Smartphone Race, Report Says
    By NICK BILTON

    The smartphone race is still raging, but who is winning might look different depending which question you ask.

    Is Google’s Android platform beating Apple’s iOS? Yes, and no.

    A new report released Thursday by Nielsen, a market research firm, found that Android had become the most popular operating system among United States smartphone users. The report said Android now accounted for 29 percent of all active smartphones. In comparison, the R.I.M. BlackBerry platform and Apple’s iOS each account for 27 percent of active smartphones.

    The numbers used in the study were collected from November 2010 through January 2011; this does not account for the Apple iPhone being available on the Verizon cellular network.

    Nielsen also found that R.I.M. and Apple were leading the pack when it came to manufacturing the hardware that operated these smartphones. Apple and R.I.M. do have an advantage, though; “they are the only ones creating and selling smartphones with their respective operating systems.” Windows Phone 7 and the Google Android platform rely on third-party companies, including Samsung, HTC and Hewlett-Packard, to build phones for their respective operating systems.

    The Nielsen study also dissected the age group of people who use smartphones in the United States, noting that people aged 18 to 24 years old were more prone to adopt the Google Android platform. Those aged 25 to 34 years seem to be evenly split when deciding which smartphones to buy, opting for Android, iOS and BlackBerry on an equal basis.

    Thanks Havoc. I'll give it a go.

    Once I flash Cyanogen7, that is. Finally, a month after the Droid line, Gingerbread in the Motha in' GalaxyS house.

    If you want to keep stock, then just get one of the sd card loaded roms and burn the image. They have nookie froyo, CM7 Gingerbread + BT, and Honeycomb to choose from. Due to the boot order, you can boot from the SD card and if you want to boot into stock, just take the card out.

    Yeah, don't know who chose "Noot" for the term, but if that doesn't sound awful, nothing does.

    What do you recommend? I'm guessing Honeycomb isn't as robust yet.

    I am a big fan of the CM team. I am running CM7 on my Hero, and on the SD card of my nook. To my knowledge this is the only one that has bluetooth at the moment. I would wait on Honeycomb until the source code is released. That is, unless you have the time to play with it. I just don't have time to mess with an OS just for the sake of playing with it and seeing if the port is up to par.

    Eh they did that because you are gaining root access or "rooting" but it is a "clever" play on letters since it is for a Nook.

    So, uh, buy this game. Right freaking now. It's on sale and it's a total blast. Would have paid full price for it long ago if I knew how much fun it was:

    https://market.android.com/details?i...oid.gamedev3en

    Looks dumb. Feels stupid for the first 10 minutes you play. Then you realize it's been 3 hours and you still need to develop just "one more game". This is the best time killer I've ever found on a mobile phone.

    Robot Unicorn Attack just released for Android, it's a blast if you haven't played it. I think the best time killer out there atm is Tiny Wings (iOS) for sure. It took me three weeks to get the final achievement - island 4 in fever mode the whole way.

    Also, there is a game called Paradise Island that's pretty fun. It' a simulation game that is very similar to Zoo Tycoon.
