China censured too much things.

I'd check out VPNinja - http://vpnninja.com . Flawless way to get on the real "web" from China - also, as the VPN sends your traffic through the US all US-based web services are accessible. Hulu, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, etc.

Did you think on patents in the code?
The last patents obtained from ibm before the release of ics?
I think that they could never release the honeycomb source code because it have some features that we still no seing in ICS...
To release ICS google had to buy motorola, thousands of patents from ibm and several other companies.(like face recognition).
And Honeycomb still more eyecandy...

Can you use it in an ATM for free? If not, I don't see how it's better than my Nationwide Visa card which is also fee free and has decent rates abroad, but is a normal credit card so no hassle with topping up.

So this comment is super old maybe since I don't see a date on your post, but I just left. I systematically deleted all my content and contacts, then did the online close request and clicked Yes a few hundred times. To get around the issue you described, I simply removed all of my connections first. That took more time than anything, both in terms of clicking each connection and then having to wait while it went through its removal process. Like it really takes that long! It's like they're trying to make you think that every connection you delete requires that they redraw/map everyone's (as in, everyone in the world's) networks. Ha!

You should check out Metro Bank. Their standard current account gives you a mastercard debit card that is fee free for any currency (in a store and online). You get free ATM withdrawals overseas too.

My other half works in foreign exchange and apparently the conversion rates are very close to the rates that the banks charge each other - in other words, as good as you'll get.

What's the catch? Metro Bank only has 8 branches, all of them in the Greater London area

HOWEVER they will sign you up for an account then and there and will even print your debit card while you wait - it took me about 30 minutes (plus another 15 waiting to be seen) so if you're in London for the day and have an hour to spare then you should be fine.

I've taken this card round Europe, Asia and Australia and it's never failed me (except for Austria where they seem to have issues with it in supermarkets).

Tor is great but sometimes their IP addresses are blocked too, these times I use proxy lists from http://proxy-ip-list.com/

There are proxy servers from USA, UK and any country and listening on a lot of ports. I expect that helps to your great bundle!

Remember, Motorola is part of the OHA and after the Droid they really need to be pushed into the market again. They don't want to risk there could be good Honeycomb-ROMs for older Tablets or even pleasing versions for the iPad! By not pushing the source to the AOSP, they ensure some exclusivity for Motorola. If you want to have a Honeycomb-Tablet, you need to buy a new one - and Motorola is the leader!I think that's the real point.

Even if honeycomb doesn't work well on phones people will still put it on them. Case in point: the 500 million crappy tablets (craplets?) out there running 2.x.

I think the real issue, frankly, is that Google support for Android has not been able to keep up with the innovation cycle. There are many issues that are left unanswered in Gingerbread and Froyo, and because Honeycomb is such a departure from that world there are already a host of Honeycomb bugs to deal with.

Until Google's support system improves they suffer from massive technological debt and need to pay down their bug queue before opening another product to the markets. All a person needs to do is look at how many software issues are open in Android that have BEEN open for 1-2 years.

If honeycomb might not work well on phones then people wont put it on their phones. What in the world does that have to do with releasing the source or not? Does Google offer official support to "enthusiasts"? I've never seen a google engineer on xda. If the code wasnt ready then how could the major tablet manufacturers be releasing tablets? This is just crazy. Release the source please.
