Galaxy Note sales hotting up

[sal]

On the flight on Monday was don't turn it on, and don't leave in the hold. Nothing mentioned at check-in, just in the safety instructions. I'd heard about the recall, but not this.

Good thinking on part of FAA, considering this:

On the flight to Vegas they specifically mentioned the Note in the safety speech and said it had to be off and had a word with one lady they spotted with one as well so they are all over this.

Apparently they rushed the production of Note 7 to overshadow the lacklustre iPhone 7. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...

I'm very happy for you. If you prefer an Android platform it isn't much of a solution though, is it?

True, looks like Google is the big winner here as I imagine a lot of potential Galaxy/Note punters will opt for a Pixel (which looks quite good)... Wonder how long it is before some bright spark uncovers something like the following in the last Android update from google

if (phoneType == 'Samsung') { battery.explode = true}
