I have heard that the Hebrew on Android devices is lacking. Orange does not have a Galaxy to test drive at the moment, so could any Android users let me know of any (all) problems with Android devices? Hebrew- and non-Hebrew related. Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il

I have a Galaxy S, and as of Android 2.1, there's no Hebrew yet. I understand there is in 2.2, and an update should be on its way this month if the rumors can be believed. Aside from that, I have no real complaints, except it's been a strange transition from my old iphone. I'm getting used to it,

Your Cisco won't protect you against these either. There are specific DDoS protection systems, which you are not going to try and afford. Unless your servers are about gambling, porn or something very hot, you will not likely be the target of DDoS attack. I haven't been myself, for the last 7
