Small hands, eh?
(couldn't resist)
I think Sprint's variety of the GSII at 4.5 inches is too big for me as well, but isn't it nice that you have many options to choose from? And personally, I think 3.7 inches is too small for a phone. 4-4.2 inches si the sweet spot for screen size.
i never knew someone could say, "i don't like them big."
the size of the GSII's screen is a plus for me. i end up using my phone quite a bit for work while on the road, and i can't stand the limited amount that you can display on most phones (blackberries are the worst). i'll take all the pixels i can get.
how big will the nexus prime be?
it's nice to have a big screen for Angry Birds.
samsung can never compete with Apple products though cause the screens look cheap

Super AMOLED+ is the best screen on the market. I don't know where you're getting this stuff…

Screen size is 4.65 inches, however, without physical buttons on the phone, the entire phone size will be closer to a 4.3 inch screen:

i assume he's basing this off older samsungs, 'cause the amoled looks amazing. best screen i've seen so far.
I think he might mean it *feels* cheap – the screen is plastic unlike the Iphone's glass, right?
if anyone is considering the GSII, you can get it for $99 on amazon (vs. $199 from a Sprint store) with a new contract. try this link, or go to wireless.amazon.com and search for "Samsung Epic Touch 4G Android Phone (Sprint)". other carriers might be offering similar deals on Amazon Wireless, i haven't checked.

Adobe's Initial Response
He was a lot nicer than I was….
(1) "I find it amusing, honestly. Flash is an open specification," "for every one of these accusations made there is proprietary lock-in" that prevents Adobe from innovating. [Presumably from the OS]
(2,5,6) "really a smokescreen" / "When you resort to licensing language" to restrict this sort of development, he says, it has "nothing to do with technology."
(3) Crashes hvae something "to do with the Apple operating system."
(4) Patently False.
(5,6) "It doesn't benefit Apple, and that's why you see this reaction,"
"We have different views of the world," Mr. Narayen says. "Our view of the world is multi-platform." To conclude, Mr. Narayen says he's for "letting customers decide," but that the multi-platform world will "eventually prevail."

No surprise here. HTML5 was always going to be the future - even back when Google invested heavy in it in 2009 and built Chrome around it.
But Flash will be around for a few more years because it's so intertwined in today's web. And Android users will get to enjoy both Flash video and HTML5, as they have for the past 2 years, for the next few years going forward.
after weeks of battling my company's telecomm support, I AM VICTORIOUS: a Galaxy S II is being shipped to me, should be here in a few days. best of all it was free! i had the choice between an iPhone 4S 16gb and the Galaxy, i went android. only downside: i was herded into the AT&T corral - it's the one price i did have to pay, looks like they're trying to move all staff to them. i'll have 30 days to try it out, if it's unbearable it'll be back to the drawing board…
i wish i could battle my telecomm support department and end up anything but a blackberry
any chance you work for a publicly listed company? or gov't? from an efficiency standpoint, it certainly makes a lot more sense to stick to one platform. if they're all set up for BB, it's expensive to change.
my company is a privatey-held partnership, so when the partners - the folks who own the company - decide that they want something, IT is on the hook to make it happen. a year ago the partners decided that they wanted ipads, iphones and androids. 6 months later, IT rolled 'em out. the advantages of not having stockholders to report to. yeehaw.

yeah publicly held for the time being. but that doesn't make my blackberry not-awful. or prevent me from being the crazy person with two cell phones
