But I'm not wailing on the thing all day, either. Figure 30 minutes talk, gmail, the facebooks, maybe some Angry Birds, check the news/weather/etc.

Play with them both. I like the HTC Sense interface, many hate it :shrug:

*edit - How is Verizon's coverage in ILM? Marginal cell signal kills batteries in a hurry, as the radio keeps snooping around.
coverage is great here....I have only had a couple dropped calls in years....funny though I had one talking to a Verizon rep yesterday.... :shock:

I looked at both yesterday, I like the slightly larger screen of the Droid, and if I am reading the specs right on the HTC it has less memory than the Droid, correct?

HTC ROM: 512MB, RAM: 512MB DDR (8GB internal memory*actual formatted capacity is less)

Droid 8GB internal - 8GB Flash/512MB RAM

and do I need to be concerned w/ the htc being broadband capable and the droid not capable?

Good, Junior, doing well. Hope y'all are! I saw the buzz about you being a tv star these days, but we were on vacation when it aired :(

Is it online anywhere? That's cool as hell.

Son of a bitch... Asshole TWC guy working down the street kicked the cable and I lost my post :evil:

Check the specs elsewhere, VZW's site has had many errors in the past on phone specs, especially capabilities. I thought all Android phones could tether, of course VZW won't let you do it unless you pay an extra $20 a month (there are ways around that, though). Since both phones came out about the same time, you should be able to find head-to-head comparisons on google (search gizmodo, maybe).

Personally I like the form factor of the Incredible. A buddy has the big new Samsung, and it's just plain too big. I think the DX is somewhere in the middle.

Side note - is Felt doing any special pricing on the team replica bikes, since Garmin went over to Cervelo? I missed most of the deals on Slipstream's ebay store, but I did get a long-sleeve jersey pretty cheap.

Share if you do. There was discussion about it in the big discussion thread. I know Junior wore at least one Exblo/ITR shirt during the show :)

I'm sure there should be episodes on On-Demand if you get DirecTV.

As for phones, I'm thinking of going up to the EVO with sprint myself. The Hero is ok, but it's slow and dated (1st Gen Android device)

I want the processing power and larger screen. The 4G crap I could care less, and is not availabe in my area anyway.

Honestly, if I was a VZW guy I think I might do the Incredible. I've played with Brad's Droid X and a guy at works Incredible. Both has same/similar speed/Proc/RAM specs. Big difference is one is HTC and the other is Moto. That, and the screen size difference.

Anyone have experience with HDMI multiplexers? I'm looking for one that has four (or more) HDMI inputs and four HDMI outputs. I want to be able to individually select which input goes to each output and also be able to run one input to multiple outputs on occasion as well.

Not exactly. Used a component device with success:

Gefen EXT-COMPAUD-44424

Gefen makes solid products though. You definitely pay for the name. I know they make HDMI solutions that would work for you.
