Why? Why not? If I had some android stickers I'd put them on my ipad.
Was expecting a lot more rage though.
It must be a joke cuz no self respecting Android enthusiast would put a crApple iClone badge on one of the best Android tablets currently on the market :banghead:
Of course if you are going to commit such blasphemy at least you picked the right color, *almost* anything is cool in chrome...

I can see the rationale. You'd have the only iPad in the world with a built-in keyboard dock. It'd be good conversion starter.
But if you're going to do it, do it right. Get a bigger sticker, and not a translucent one. As it is, it just looks embarassing, like you're ashamed of your tablet or something. Wouldn't wanna be a wannabe.
Sure man, it's good for trolling ipad people. Especially when they ask if that's the ipad 3.

Get off the internet entirely then. This is inevitable and bound to eventually happen. You can avoid android, google, gmail, but there will always be another site you use that do the exact same thing your trying to avoid. (Facebook? bing? Yahoo? etc... )
Your fighting an already lost war.
apple has been caught doing worse to their consumers, WP7 has complete "crap" you are agreeing to when you first start your phone up, but obviously nobody reads all of it. now google yaaaaay. looks like blackberry will be the only protected OS, along with whatever Nokia is working on. cant wait for BB10
Maybe I am missing something here but I fail to see why this is a bad thing. Sure they collect and store your information but its to better serve you as the user across all of their services.

So Big Brother watching over is ok with some I guess. It's not "bad," it's invasive. Who's to say Google won't start selling my search profile to marketing teams to start spamming? If it's to help serve us, why isn't it optional? Who really thinks Google isn't good enough as it is? There is no reason for this. Facebook tried something similar yrs ago when I was on that site, but everyone revolted so they changed their mind.

Tried? They do that now! Have been.
I am not a lawyer but I'm still not seeing how merging privacy policies gives Google more data. I would think they had the data before, it's one company.
Personally I was a freaked out more by the Google DART cookie setup a few years back. When Google basically said we are going to have this cookie on your computer tracking what you do. Since so many sites use Google Analytics, Google AdSense, etc. that means they know a lot about what you do even outside of Google sites. Since you can't really "log-out" of Google services on your Android phone I've always wondered how much they track.
Google ad opt out add on, moved email to hushmail and deleted contacts. I win.. unless they truly don't delete stuff. If not that should be illegal.

Yikes. I don't care for Apple personally, but I certainly don't wish death upon anyone.
If they really have patents on their technology, then they are doing the right thing by protecting their intellectual property. You just can't go around stealing other peoples stuff. I'm not saying HTC or Samsung or anyone else stole anything, just saying that IF they did - then they are facing their consequences.
The Patent War has gotten out of control with ALL the manufactures. Just seems this is the first that has actually stopped a device in its tracks. All this patent stuff is BS I would hate having the job of making sure a device doesn't infringe on one of Apples, Samsungs, Motorola, Googles, etc's patents. I would be willing to be that just about any device would infringe on some patented somewhere.
BTW I'm currently Patenting how I tie my shoes SO WATCH OUT..
My old blackberrys from back in the day had this feature far before the iPhone. Who grants these patents.

It has gotten out of control. Something so minor should not be enough to block a shipment. Plus, that is a feature BUILT into Android, so they should not be after HTC but Google for that. I think devices that have skins can be attacked more because they added those patent violating features themselves vs. just building from google's source.

The patent they are talking about was applied for back in 1996 and granted in 1999. It is for clicking on a recognizable text string and bringing up a menu or performing a UI action. So, yes, clicking on a telephone number will no longer bring up the dialer, or clicking on an email address will not bring up the email app, etc. Which I think is ****ing bull****. It's common sense that when I click on a telephone number it brings up the dialer. Who wouldnt think of that? I didnt think things that were blatantly obvious were patentable. But I guess if you're crApple you can get anything patented.

This patent crap has gotten out of control. This is basically how computers work.
Imagine on your home computer, clicking on a link in xda and it doesn't open, just highlights it, then you have to copy and paste to go to that page.
Why would apple be given a patent for this? Its ridiculous and HTC has ALREADY removed the feature from their phones so the fact that they are still blocking them is asinine.

Oh I agree, but that is for the courts to decide. I think it needs to be more in-depth. Like prove that the programming code was stolen or something. Not just that the end result is the same. Kind of like prescription drugs. There are the brand names that have the rights to it, and then there are generics that are the same thing but branded differently.
Yes this may never work, but currently at the end of my shift at work, and I started thinking what would really show people what's going on behind the scenes with Apple suing HTC and Samsung. And this is the idea that I came up with, with the idea that it probably would never work, but hey its just a thought lol.
We've seen HTC comparing itself to Samsungs GSIII, just trying to compare itself. What if HTC and Samsung did it together with Google as the head supporter of Android, with a headline of something around, "Apple's run scared, attempting to ban these phones from you." Or "Meet the phones that Apple is terrified off..." Something in that sense to stir up curiousity and interest in. And on my mind, YMMV, I picture the OG EVO commercials with the Andrioids flying around the phone and showing it off with quotes from reviews.
But in the end, a for more info go to here, to show the potential customer what is going on since none of Apple's lawsuits are very big in the news unfortunately.
Obviously HTC and Sammy fans don't get along too well, but the Android OEMS seriously need to stick together for some time if they're ever going to have a chance if Apple keeps chipping away at them with court.
Reminder, this is just my personal opinion, but please share what you think of it. Or what you would add / change because I'm curious of this would ever be a true way to really give Apple some SERIOUSLY BAD PR, or if I'm just some nut case, who needs to get a job with daytime hours lol.

Apple will always have their hardcore followers. No matter how much better my EVO LTE is the hardcore apple-ites will say Apple has better blah blah blah. And they will inevitably say "that's the phone that violated all the apple patents!" *snarl/*
Anyways, I like your idea. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
You know the iPhone's use of google maps generates 40% of Google's income? And now that Apple is deciding to make its own map app to replace Google maps as the default in iPhone it seems like an all out break in the companies.
Apple isn't innovating anymore, all they're doing is filing stupid patents and suing. They'll probably win because they are on top and have the $ to pay lawyers where other companies don't.
Sorry about the rant, I usually post on android central. Come here to check out the mods and roms so I don't post much.

I don't know what the percentage is but I bet it's a good amount, much more than 2% but no where near 40%.
"Mobile ads associated with maps and location data account for about a quarter of all mobile ad revenue. That's money Apple wants and Google doesn't want to lose out on."
http://www.businessinsider.com/wsj-apple-will-ditch-google-maps-on-ios-later-this-year-2012-6
It would be a much bigger blow if Apple were to get rid of Google search all together but I do feel the maps thing will put a bit of a dent in Google's bottom line.

I agree, I'm just saying it's going to sting a bit at Google. Hopefully it might help them get on the manufacturers and carriers a bit more to make sure they're selling quality products, I love Android but some of the stuff that gets put out there is absolute crap.
I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.
Yeah, just came up with 40% off the top of my head because I was smoking crack.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question I was trying to get around to ask,
Do you think google and the OEMs should make commercials with Google as the headliner to tell the world what Apple is suing about? I think if the overall general public knew, besides us tech enthusiasts , maybe people would see Apple for who they really are...
Just my two cents, and go!

This is actually what I've been hoping would happen for quite a while. It's much easier to pick them off one by one than to attack a united front. Unfortunately the all-mighty (dollar, euro, whatever) always wins out. If the manufacturers and Google could put aside their differences and come together and attack Apple, I think Apple would be forced to back down. For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

This might be a stupid question but so be it. I have an otterbox case on my LTEVO and will the case interfere when trying to make a payment? I don't want to to look stupid trying to make a payment and taking the case off the phone because the little machine couldn't detect the phone/NFC payment or chip or whatever it is.

Just used mine at McDonalds this morning with the case on.

I used mine at rite aid today, didnt work at first but the reason was, because the clerk has to switch it to credit or what not. It wont just work at some places, you have to tell them, "credit please". An usually you will hear something on their side and it will tell you to swipe card, then you just tap your phone.
I have a Seidio’s ACTIVE case and it works great.
Had no problem using mine at McDonald's but messed up the first time I tried it by not holding the phone on the card reader long enough. Once I realized that it works flawlessly.

It definitely doesn't work with all systems that accept paypass. It requires the correct software on the retailers side as well. For example...I went to The Container Store (which fully supports Google Wallet) and tried using my phone. It would beep and my phone would acknowledge that something happened, but it their side couldn't process it. Exact same thing happened at Banana Republic....who also supposedly accepts Google Wallet. I think this will be corrected as time goes on and it's not so "new" anymore though.
