BTW, Thats Doom GLES in the play store for those interested. Its 2.19 and its amazing! Its been slightly modified for a cool blood splatter effect and get this.....you can LOOK UP AND DOWN (you couldnt do this in the original)!!

Just Google search doom.wad and you can find the full version wad files and using a file manager (I use astro) to copy the files to the Doom folder then you should be able to figure out the rest.

Its SOOO much better then any emulator version from N64 and Playstation.

NONE of this requires root access of any sort. My Xoom is not rooted anymore....just vanilla ICS....

Completely agree. If this is the final design (and praying to god it isn't) it looks horrible.

I think, as a direct result of the Apple lawsuits, Google is determined that all of their nexus devices avoid the "rounded rectangle" look. Which is really annoying because for a touch screen device that shape makes sense, looks simplistic, and looks good.

I have a galaxy nexus and I think it looks fine. But I was really disappointed to see the LG Nexus follow the same rounded top and bottom and I'm even more disappointed to see the Nexus 10 follow that same design.

It is hideous and as a loyal Android user it makes me want to pick up an iPad out of spite...More probably I will just pick up a nexus 7 at some point because I am still not completely convinced I need a tablet in the first place.

I agree to a point. IF the design is in direct result of Apple lawsuits its still terrible. You cant tell me for one second there arent as good or even better design for a tablet that they could have come up with.

Another theory is the common complaint of a tablet being difficult to hold due to lack of bezel. I use Motorola's portfolio case and it folds back giving the perfect place to put your hand, without it I would want a bigger bezel.

Ugh that thing is just ugly though. I cant believe I agree with zbarvian, that thing looks very cheaply made. I'll reserve my final judgement until I hold it though....

Samsung is just not a quality brand. They've never made a luxurious, premium mobile device in my book. They pack some decent specs into an ugly, cheap body and call it their flagship.

This is gonna sound like a double standard since I like Macs but looks doesn't necessarily equate to quality. If you had a had a great looking product but crappy specs would you call it quality? No you probably wouldn't. I'd choose specs over looks any day. If you can get both great. Right on paper the S3 has the specs that beat the iPhone. Braun or beauty is the question here.

I wish you hadnt said "beat the iphone" in that post. You have inadvertently sent this thread WAY off topic... :D

I never claimed quality meant design.
