Probably the target consumers. From what I saw they're targeting the lower end of smartphones with cheaper devices and people in developing countries such as most of those above are more likely to buy something like that compared to US/Canada or Western Europe, where more people afford higher end devices.

Well, in my case svndiff never worked fine, it would showbad diffs 9/10 of the times, but maybe it was just a misconfiguration on my part.

Great stuff, I was using svndiff before this but it was more of a miss than a hit, this seems to work nicely so far.

I would have liked that as well, don't know what 4ad's experience was but I almost never had any problem with the plastic money. The bills are waterproof, very hard to tear and much more resistant in my opinion.

I've been using Netvibes for almost 6 years now and I'm very happy with it.

Well, speaking/writing/understanding a language is a skill (that some people have and others need to learn) so I don't see why that would be different from knowing a programming language or algorithms.

And a population of 3.6% of Romania... I think we can find a 700k pop city in Romania with a higher adoption than that :)

Exception: HP Touchpad. ICS runs great on it.

That's pretty odd since I have a HTC Desire (single core 1GHz) which works really well. (Never been an iPhone owner though)

Pixel density isn't the real problem, it's the lack of content. Even though there have been Full HD displays for quite some time most of the HD content is only 720p, especially games on current generation consoles.

The limited space is one major flaw of the phone and it almost makes it unusable. That is why I suggest a custom ROM. I use one called Supernova and it is great, it is basically the stock ROM with the internal memory moved on the SD card. With it I have almost 2GB of internal memory and almost 100 applications. The instructions are not super user friendly but it is worth it!
