Android is just very different than iOS or WP7 in terms of how it handles apps and memory. That will *always* cause it to respond differently.
Most importantly, Android is a true multitasking OS, so there will be times that background processing causes a hit on displayed resources. Also, the fact that apps don't close out of memory right away means that you'll occasionally see some delay while an app reloads.
To answer your question more directly: I've only had the 3D for a couple of weeks now; it was a replacement for my OG Droid, which was still going strong - except that the headphone jack was getting flakey and it would cause dropped calls. After putting on ADW Launcher EX, I'm loving it almost as much as my 4G Bionic - which I bought on release day and am still crazy about.
*nods*
D3 and BIONIC owner here.... impatient but still happy with what I've got.
Objectify much?
But yeah... she better eat something, or she's gonna disappear.
My Droid doesn't need to be held just right before it'll put out [a signal]. XD
Ah...but that's their own choice. That's not some shortcoming in the system or some broken piece in the Democratic process. It's simply that they were lazy and never bothered to take the 5 minutes to mail a form.
And that certainly doesn't change the fact that the headline of this article is misleading. When I read "51 Million Alive American's Can't" [vote], I was expecting to read about some problem that was preventing willing voters from casting their ballot - not the mere fact that a good fraction of eligible voters just don't care enough to try. That's not exactly breaking news.
"It is well documented, however, that these various initiatives often effectively operate as poll taxes on minority voters, either directly through the required purchase of an ID, or indirectly through the cumbersome processes of obtaining such an ID."
That's the stupidest thing I've read today. You basically can't do anything in our society without a valid ID.
Try getting a bank account without an ID. Try cashing a check. Try getting the welfare that you need, since you can't afford the practically free card, if you qualify for the reduced-fee program.
If you don't have a valid government-issued ID, your problems are a lot bigger than whether you can vote in the next election.
Generally, you only can't vote while you're in jail or on probation... once you've done your time, your civil rights are fully restored.
However, I'm pretty sure that people convicted of violent crimes permanently lose their right to posses firearms.
Let's be clear: not being registered doesn't mean you *can't* vote. It means you choose not to vote.
That makes your headline Two Million Dead Americans Can Vote, 51 Million Are 'Meh'
Hulu does cover about 75% of what I watch... so it's the other 25% that I end up paying for.
What I want is a way to subscribe directly to a network without having to get the other 10 or 20 channels in a package.
My perfect lineup would then have about 12 channels on it. There has to be a better way to do this than to have to pay $70 a month for television.
This may be slightly different if this company is operating under cable company rules and has negotiated agreements with the broadcasters.
In fact, if a tv station is classified as "must carry", cable companies are required to carry them - and for free.

But doing that requires you to still have an antenna & etc. The Slingbox isn't magic; it has to hook to a video source.
This service does away with all that.
I think he just said that his watching is all legal. Let's break it down:
"Everything on Discovery Channel is on the net for free"
"...AMC's web site"
"BBC Player"
sounds to me like he's using legit sources, not torrents.
The only reason I can't ditch cable is that some of my favorite shows don't seem to show up on streaming:
The Big Bang Theory
Supernatural
Lost Girl
Doctor Who
I can't find current episodes for any of those on (legitimate) streaming sources.
But what about the Thu, Fri, and Sat on the top row? That was Jesus's real point.. and no trick of typography caused that frak-up.
You know what's perfectly centered?
The days on my Android calendar.
Just sayin'. ;-)
Uhm, apparently you didn't actually read the article.
That was the whole point of the article: the off-center 1 is nothing new (and we all know that the nose is the reason), but the off-center weekdays are now giving our resident ranter a fit.
Crazy is always hysterical.
I have been getting random, rambling, drug-fueled rants in my email lately from an electronics store I used to frequent. Turns out the brother of the owner got hold of the owner's email password... and now he's sending out the craziest rants you've ever seen. The first one was all about how people are stealing from him. The latest one was about how much he hates it where he is and how he never knew his mother...
but my favorite crazy moment is something I heard on the radio today: guy comes home on Valentine's day to find his wife prancing around in some sexy lingerie. She's all "thank you!" and he's all "Why? I didn't send that."
And then he launches in to a "hobo conspiracy where they leave random gifts for people and then listen to the couple argue through the window." In short, nobody had much fun and Valentine's day was ruined.
Turns out the wife's best friend had left it for her in order to help spice up their evening.
Crazy indeed.
(And yes, I know this had nothing to do with Jesus's post... but it was a fun story.)
Oh yeah... I had that back on my first touch-screen PDA phone back in 2004.
Has anyone already suggested "OctoPet"?
If you're showing your plumber's crack, we might jump that high just to get away from you.
You forgot. Unix is the One True OS.
And no, I'm not talking about that Linux crap. I mean the true-blue made by Bell Labs stuff.
If you think otherwise, you're a small minded simpleton who deserves the viruses and trojans your inferior operating system inflicts on your miserable, putrid life.
;-) Please don't kill me.
