Load up FPSe, hook up one or two PS3 controllers, and plug it into a TV using HDMI.

same here... dont see why you would want to "show off" your phone.
thats something the typical iphone zealot would do, trying to hype up their own device
be careful not putting your phone away in public places if you're living in the cities.
i live in philadelphia, PA, and few people that i know had SGSII and GNex and what not, and they never put their phone away so they could show it off
one day, someone snatched the phone off of their hand and ran away. on the streets lol
from what i heard, it's usually teenagers who do this..
they usually wander around in packs, searching for prey....
i might be wrong, but it wouldn't make me any happier if i showed off my phone to total strangers, either intentionally or unintentionally

Its fun to show off the unique capabilities of the Nexus, but it is far more effective to be friendly about it.
Being rude or condescending immediately puts the other person on the defensive. If you are really trying to convert someone, you don't want them defending their own phone. You may convince them, but you will never persuade them.
Also when you don't show them or explain to someone how to use the feature it reaffirms their belief that Android it too complicated. They understand that android is neat and has more features, but they feel you need a degree from MIT to use it. When showing off in a condescending manor its not helping android. It polarizes their opinion that iPhone is just better... magically.

I once showed off the ICS's voice typing feature (in successive continuous), in my native (an Asian) language and my friends' native (a Eastern European) language. Also, same for Google Translate [alpha conversation mode] or Voice Search in my language. The iOS users are impressed since I think iOS or Siri can only handle a limited amount [or only English?] of languages

i don't really show it off. I just put it out once an hour to check and reply to e-mails and everybody starts asking me what phone this is and how much it cost, if they could have it for a minute, etc....
Switch on what other phones don't have
-1. Set a lot of Widgets especially scrollable before you show it off
0. Take it off the case/cover etc
1. Change to face unlock or quad lock screen and pass it on the person or go straight from the lock screen to the app
2. Run something by using voice actions
3. Take few fast decent photos with a camera
4. Send a text msg using dictation
5. Switch tasks
6. Use nicely optimized app for ics eg friendcaster
7. Lock the screen (crt animation has a big wow factor among iPhone users)
8. If youre at home have it connected to the computer and transfer music or anything from/to
In that order it always works ...

I also live in Philadelphia, and I don't show off my phone because if I do, I'm only encouraging someone to steal it or rob me of it. So far I've managed to be able to use it in view of others without being asked about it, and I'd like to keep it that way. Showing off your Gnex in Philadelphia is just asking for trouble - it's unfortunate but that's the reality of living in a major city. This particular city is also famous for flash mobs of teenagers who seem to live to cause trouble. A couple of times they nearly shut down Center City (Philadelphia's downtown area), and it can get very dangerous here.be careful not putting your phone away in public places if you're living in the cities.

Terminators run on Android - except the ones I sent to find John Connor
i dont need my Gnex or SGS2 to impress other people. I can just take my sister's wildfire s and my Desire and show them the custom launcher + their swipe/gesture action. Thats all and they are amazed already. and thats only 0.0001% of android feature.
oh well, if i shown anyone my Gnex and SGS2, most of them converted from BB, Nokia, SE and iphone as soon as they have money. True Story on this part. I have about 12 people around me buying an Android despite using BB and iphone. One of them even sold their BB and iphone to get a SGS2.

What he said. Pretty sad to feel the need to show off your phone if you ask me.
*prepares to be flamed*1
