Great price, yes. As for the phone itself, you'll have to read some reviews.

The main draw for me to that phone is the laptop dock. I'd really like to see it in action.

Looking back at the S2 launch it was priced around $600-$699, but with such high demand for the S3 who knows what the price will be....

http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-release-date-and-pricing-revealed-10256/

"While initial reports back in early April indicated the Samsung Galaxy S II would be priced somewhere north of $800, it appears as though things are finally heading south towards the much more reasonable area of $600-$699. The Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 Android 2.3 Gingerbread Smartphone will be released at some point in the beginning of May 2011. The 16GB version unlocked version will be priced somewhere in the range of $599- $699 USD"

Yeah the HTC One X is what I am waiting for, but I'll give it a 3montj gap before picking it up so any birthing bugs and launch prices to be amended.

Just noticed there is a port for Jagged Alliance 2. Old school but still pretty cool...

Linux and Android are two closely linked open-source projects, but they've been as notable for how distant they are from each other--until yesterday.

That's when Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, released a version of the operating system core that bridges between the two worlds. Version 3.3 of the Linux kernel is the beginning of the end of isolation between these two projects.
Down under the covers, every Android phone is a Linux phone. Although programmers writing Android apps generally use a Java-like interface, a Google-customized version of Linux handles underlying details such as keyboard input, multitasking among different chores, and keeping needed data readily at hand in memory.
But Google's Android work has been a "fork"--a separate code base that's branched off from the main repository Torvalds oversees at the Kernel.org Web site.

The result of merging Google's Android Linux with Torvalds "mainline" version, if all goes well, should be easier programming and therefore faster progress for all parties involved. Google can benefit from new features added to mainline Linux sooner and with fewer hassles keeping its code in sync with the mainline kernel. And others using Linux in mobile devices can benefit from improvements that previously had to be retrieved from Google's separate fork.
