     photojojo: Whoa. Polaroid just announced they’ll be releasing a 16MP “smart camera” that’ll run Android on it! You’ll be able to play with photo apps, connect to WiFi, edit in-camera, and all that jazz. Polaroid’s New Camera Will Run Android  But, but, but… Polaroid is just a zombie brand that whores its name out to generic wares like digital photo frames and DVD players. The original Polaroid company filed for bankruptcy in 2001, and then the new and crappier Polaroid company went bankrupt again in 2008. They haven’t made anything worthy in decades, even if the name still harks back to the instant-film days. And even when we disregard just how idiotic an “Android camera” is both for the consumer and for market positioning, you can judge right off the press shot that this is crapware. I mean, look, did they put two Camera and Album icons on the homescreen? Obviously the camera feature on a digital camera should be emphasized, but you don’t do that by taking a stock Android build and just putting the Camera icon on there twice. And by god, does that dock have a brushed aluminum texture that somehow turns transparent and fades into the wallpaper?!

    Holy shit that’s a big phone. And it has a screen resolution the same as my laptop’s.

    What’s an Android anyway?

    Gynoid

    A gynoid is anything which resembles or pertains to the female human form. It is also used in American English medical terminology as a shortening of the term Gynecoid (Gynaecoid in British English).[1]

    Gynoid has not gained popular usage to refer specifically to female robots as the term android is used almost universally to refer to robotic humanoids regardless of apparent gender.

    Motorola Defy with Android. I’m surprised it took this long, but there’s finally a rugged smartphone on the market. And it doesn’t look too terrible like rugged phones used to. Too bad it’s only water-resistant and not waterproof (though the silly writers at Engadget submerged it anyway).

    The superbly awesome Motorola Droid. Too bad it has to be a Verizon exclusive. Here’s how I rank America’s Big 4: 1. T-Mobile  2. Sprint  3. AT&T  4. Verizon
