You mean because there's one drawback to the traditional watch it's regression? I guess mobile phones are a regression because I don't have to charge my landline. Oh wait, you mean the added benefits outweigh the drawbacks? Exactly.

Remember when people use to believe in their ideas enough that they'd put their own house on the line? With some Kickstarters, you see people with "I believe this needs to be done, and I'll do it if people pay enough so that I have zero liability and all of the financial gain."

"Well, there's travel involved, and if I get an early flight, I'll need a coffee from the airport Starbucks. That's an additional $8...."

Get off my lawn!

"OK GOOGLE, MUTE PHONE".

Hm......effectiveness might be lost.

I'm pretty sure having nummer1fan@beleiberfanatiks.com is going to ding you on the job interview.

So, not in 2014? Noted. :)

He keeps thinking there will be a 2014 World's Fair.

OK, so you pay someone $30 for help and they give you a solution that kind of works, but not really. How much hassle do you have to go through to get a refund? There's that sweet price point for scammers of "Not enough to make them care about getting a refund" that's yet to be determined.

What was the target SDK level? Older levels were always given access to phone ID, but in newer levels, it had to be specifically requested. For backwards compatibility, older apps targeted to the older levels would request that permission. Solution would be to have a newer target level, but not necessarily change the minSDK level.

I wish I could use "optional" permissions. If the user doesn't want to give me access to something, that's fine. But if you want to integrate a whiz-bang feature that requires SMS, you either scare off people or have to make a separate app.

The keyboard might be pulling down certain language dictionaries,hence the need for Internet access.

I would've though you'd have a much lower UID.

So much for the walled garden, huh?

Are you unsure if you can completely wipe the phone?

Anyways, put it on craigslist. Or ask around. I'm sure someone will be willing to take them. I use Android devices as scoring devices for quiz meets, so if someone wanted to give me a pile of Android phones, I'd be happy. Or if someone wants to get into development, having a range of phones is always helpful.
