Droid?

[Herschel]

Of course it can- it's like a second language to it.

But can it speak with moisture vaporators?

Vaporators? Sir, its first job was programming binary loadlifters—very similar to your vaporators in most respects.

There is now a model of Droid called the "Eris".

What kind of person names a piece of electronics you are supposed to rely upon after a goddess of chaos and disorder? I mean, really!

Why, it's a ploy to get into the Discordians good graces (and their wallets)! And dare I say, from personal experience, I think it's working ...

I don't expect Discordians make up a major portion of the market share.

Technically it's not a model of the Droid... Two separate phones that run the same OS. (Well even more technically Droid runs Android 2.01, while Eris is like 1.5 or something.)

No idea about the name though... Maybe something to do with bringing order to your chaos filled life? More likely some dude thought it sounded cool.

It could be vunerable to attack from the Network though.

With respect - the Verizon Wireless website lists it as the "Droid Eris". "Droid" is thus more than a particular model - it is now a line.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, I'll add that the Opera browser on android can do iplay4e.appspot.com

Also with respect, that's been somewhat of a complaint about the whole Droid/Android thing... (That it's too confusing.)

One is a handset made by HTC, another Motorola, both just have Droid in the name (and both use Android operating system.)

I guess one could say it's a line of Smart Phones powered by Android... But they're not really a single line of "droid" phones... Wish they hadn't made it so confusing.

What I think is funny is that they DO have to pay Lucas Arts for the right to use the term Droid...

what's it matter?

If someone writes a super cool DND app for the Droid, it'll still work on the Droid eris, and the G1, and the Mytouch3g, and the samsung moment, and the Acer A1, and the Galaxy, and the Hero, and...

So why are we fighting over which phone is a "droid"

I haven't found much beyond dice rollers myself, though the "Scryer" website (Scryer - D&D Insider Compendium Searcher) is nice for a front-end into the DDI Compendium. There's also a power card site (DnD 4e Power Cards Index), though I haven't looked too closely at that one.

I've recently started to delve into Android development, so hopefully before long I can put a few apps out there. In particular, I'd like to port TableSmith over to Android.
