Sites that try to break into another niche other then what they were formed for find it hard due to
1) reputation of being for one thing, i.e. cdma winmo, not andorid. Look at XDA, doesn't have a thing one CDMA WNMO compared to PPCG. Same is true backward - we have nothing compared to XDA on the GSM side. What, 1 kitchen in the tp2 upgrade?
2) Name doesn't fit - a forum with droid in it will fare better then ppcgeeks for android specific.
There are several exceptions, (DP comes to mind), but forums are mostly geared towards 1 thing and have a hard time breaking into other markets. While I try to share/learn EvO related stuff on PPCG, I know there are several alternatives that are more informative.
Yeah but if a lot of the heavy hitters from CDMA WinMo change over to Android that would be a big boon to PPC Geeks.

Why does the name have to match XDA Developers doesn't really scream to me GSM Windows Mobile but that is what we have all associated it with over time. Names don't always have to mach
