a) I fundamentally agree that one should be allowed to install the OS of
choice on a mobile device that makes phone calls;
b) Increasingly, mobile devices are being used as portable credit card
terminals. I do not know if the rules about credit card terminals are from
the government, the card card issuer, the credit card processor, an
industry association, or somewhere else. However, those rules appear to
make it extremely difficult for a merchant to use a mobile device that
has been unlocked. Of the twenty something terms and conditions of
service I read, from credit card processors that offer apps for using iPads,
iPhones, and Android devices as a credit card terminal, they all state that
service is automatically terminated, and penalties will be imposed, if the
device is rooted, unlocked, or otherwise changed from default vendor
specifications.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Plus we could see multiple accounts support for the next
Google Nexus 11.6
Tablet from Samsung that will also come to
Google TV as well!
Which
Samsung and Google have finally linked up on to bring
to all their TV sets.
Instead of using as a feature upgrade
like on Sony and LG with their TV sets.
If anybody wants to
know why
Google TV isn't selling, it's because the TV
makers are only
using it as pry bar to get consumers to upgrade to more
expensive sets. Which will always FAIL
Instead of realizing that like
it or not.... the Chinese are
selling Mini USB to HDMI Android Media Center
PC's, that
have
consumers thumbing their nose at TV upgrades for better
features. These tiny USB Stick Android Media Center PC's are
coming with ICS
and even Jelly Bean w/ as much as 2gigs of
DDR3 ram and 4 to 16gigs of built in
drive space. All Wifi
Internet and keyboard mouse support!
Like these Mini Android PC's on
ebay!
