After reading everything, I feel a Windows Phone device is more suited to your needs. Most of the popular games are already on that platform and given the inclusion of DirectX the newer games will definitely leverage on this. Your needs involve using social platforms which would integrate...

Are there any extra pieces still available?

Yes, if you get the multi-touch drivers it will work perfectly. In fact, if you have a good touch pad you could almost substitute the want for a touch screen. From what I feel, Windows 8, the desktop UI is way better than Windows 7. The speed that I am seeing is remarkable and it goes to show...

Has anybody tried playing Major Mayhem on their Xperia Sola? Even though my Floating touch is disabled the game seems to be using it also, there seems to be a huge battery drain while playing this game.

Then, your options are limited. Try searching for a laptop which comes with Core i3/i5 (2nd or 3rd generation), Intel HD graphics to be on the safe side. The major issue which most hackintosh builds face is that the wireless lan does not work, so you would probably have to resort to a wired...

If he is looking for native iOS development, you would probably have to settle for a secondhand machine in that price. Try getting a basic macbook pro 13 inch with 2d generation core processors, you can always up the RAM to 8GB. An older mac mini could also work, you can add an inexpensive...

Is there a particular reason you would want to use the Mac? Will your brother be developing iOS specific applications? If not, I see no reason not to get a Windows based laptop. There are some decent configurations available under 30k.

Please do post a small review about it.

Google Docs seems to maintain the best formatting according to me. You could also try the Word Web App, its free.

I'm not sure why you would want to create a dump of Wikipedia? It is very easy to access Wikipedia on the most basic mobile browsers and it would actually be counter intuitive to store a website whee the information might change over time.

I think certain carriers like Airtel and Vodafone provide a micro-sim if you go to their outlets, why not try that? A question to everybody here, The Xperia Sola does come with a factory fitted Screen Guard, right?

If I am not wrong, all Xperia phones come with a factory fitted scratch guard. Try to look at the ear piece and the sides you would see it.

If anybody with an Xperia Sola after upgrading to ICS wants the Quick Panel (The panel in the notification bar) they can follow these steps 1> Root your phon using the Binary V9 toolkit. 2> Get Root Explorer or Root Browser or any other file manager and grant it Super User permissions. 3>...

Has anybody used the V6 super charger script after rooting their Sola?

Are you sure about this? I've read posts at XDA about this but haven't seen any official word from Sony.

Has anyone ever used Connectify to make their laptop a hotspot to share their internet and had a problem with the Sola to maintain that wireless connection. I am having this problem, my Sola connects to the hotspot and within 2 minutes disconnects. If someone has a solution please let me know.

I hope Sony does a good job with ICS, otherwise I'll be flashing FXP 9.1 for sure.

Does anybody have a proper tried and tested guide to unlock the bootloader, root my phone and installing CWM so I can install a custom rom. This is the ROM I'm planning to install [Rom][Xperia Sola MT27i] OWA HD [10/08] - xda-developers

Looking at your requirements I'd suggest you save yourself the money and go for the Xperia S. I prefer the Xperia design to most other, anyway that's just me. Also, if possible try getting yourself a Google Galaxy Nexus, if you are open to no warranty.

@[comp@ddict] - I have too recently purchased an Xperia Sola from ebay and was wondering how many applications do you have running according to Advanced Task Killer at any given time? I have close too 10 applications such as McAfee, Recommender, etc. running even though I don't start them.
