A smartphone is the ultimate, single-user personal computer. Choosing a device is too intimate for me to use any sort of tabular comparison tool. The device needs to be right for me qualitatively also.

I strongly recommend picking a handful of devices and getting a variety of opinions from reviewers. Then, weigh those opinions against what features are most important to you.

If this is your main computer which most likely it is for most people, it's worthwhile to spend some time on selection.

There's a lot of inertia to overcome here. There's advice online everywhere that Android may not the best platform for tablets. As someone who loved the Nexus 7, until you have a large user base that's using the tablets, it's a tougher sell to developers and to users especially that iPads are cheaper now than they have been in the past.

It's an uphill battle. Google has to pay those taxes for doing such a terrible job of getting into the tablet as its own related but different market from mobile.

You might be surprised. My father uses a device about that age, but it's a Facebook machine and phone call device. It's fine for the use case if you're not the type to place valuable information on your phone anyways.

I think this is because now the consumer knows what he or she wants. It's hard to build a mobile UI without expectations of consistency.

Back then, Android was more marching to the beat of its own drummer as it were and more dramatically crafting its design language, its visual identify.

I'm curious to see if this will be merely a packaged version of the web page or something more.

All refers to everything that your instance knows about. Your instance only retrieves data for which users are actually subscribed.

All can be weird on small instances if the user subscriptions don't have a nice distribution.

I hate Pinterest links. I don't even click if it looks like Pinterest. Might as well not exist.

My wife and I fell in love over the blobs. I keep screenshots of them on my phone so I can text her using them to this today. It's clunky, but they're exactly the ones I want to use sometimes.

It's like when I've finally gotten so ugly people can't look away instead of trying not to look.

Perhaps the replacement battery was manufactured a while ago?
