Speaking of Android.

I love my G1 but I have pushed it to the limit. As I wonder what that limit is I’m reminded that we live in a pretty remarkable time. My parents got their first PC in 1992. Back then a 25 MHz system with 4 MB of RAM and a 120 MB IDE hard drive running MS-DOS 5.0 cost about $1800. My phone, that I carry in my fucking pocket, cost about $200, has a 528 MHz processor, 192 MB of RAM and 8 GB of storage on a microSD card that is smaller than the tip of my pinky finger. Forget about connectivity. You try explaining what the Internet will become to 1992 me. 1992 me thought that the encyclopedia on CD-ROMs was the biggest fucking deal ever.
