Android Apps - Suggestions
Ok, I’m getting antsy for a few good apps that I need or would like on my G1 Android phone. I’m betting we’ll see some interesting new apps hit the Android Market in January when Google adds the ability to charge for an application. I’d also like to make a few suggestions for some [...]
Why Google’s Android Simply Rocks
There are dozens hundreds user-interface or aesthetic reasons that I could list off about the T-Mobile G1 which runs Google’s Android. However, it’s the functionality that has really sealed the deal for me.
The form factor and the ability to quickly add such a wide variety of applications to the device really makes it more [...]
Android Developers! Here’s a phone-load of free ideas
Yeah, I’m a little excited while I sit and wait for my T-Mobile G1 to be delivered. During this waiting period that nearly every geek worth their weight in Apple will experience, I’ve been reading reviews, opinions, development docs, looking up existing applications and so on.
During this time I’ve been thinking about the things that [...]
Windows 7
Yep, Mike Nash announced it today on the Windows Vista blog. The next version of Microsoft Windows will be named: Windows 7
I like it, but then I’ve been accused of being a Microsoft fan-boy, so my opinion probably doesn’t count. It’s a name anyway, and darn early for a Microsoft OS release at that. [...]
T-Mobile G1 will be here on Nov. 10
Looks like Christmas is in October for me this year. I’ll be looking for the new T-Mobile G1 to show up around the 10th of November according to the order information. Yeah, I couldn’t help joining over 1.5 million other new Android fans and preordered the phone last night.
I’ve been waiting for some time [...]
Life-hacking the T-Mobile MDA
So for all you T-Mobile owners out there, I’ve found a few fun ways to give your device a new lease on life. It’s true that we are all getting tired of the lack of 3G service by T-Mobile, or maybe the “long in the tooth” look & feel of Windows Mobile 5 and [...]
The one thing holding me to Microsoft Outlook
I’ve come to the conclusion that there is only one feature in Outlook that is holding me to it at the moment. Can you help convince me that it’s time to drop Outlook?
See, I’ve been a longtime user and proponent of Microsoft software. It’s actually really good software, and a decent value… for the [...]
Adobe AIR & Windows Vista
I’ve been enjoying some of the Adobe AIR apps during it’s development over the past year. Among several Twitter clients that have popped up in the last few months running on AIR, I’ve really enjoyed Twhirl.
Now, if you’re a Twitter user, you know that its a great way to share links and more. Works [...]
Latest today screen on my T-Mobile MDA
I think I’ve finally stumbled across my favorite Windows Mobile 6 today screen configuration. At least until I can get a new phone.
I have to admit that I’ve uninstalled all the software that I usually run. This is not a reflection on the software that I removed at all - I simply am [...]
A day in the build of the perfect laptop
Some of you know that I have no hesitation to re-format my system and install whatever version of OS that I influenced by at the time. Well, this time I really took the opportunity to re-build my laptop from the ground up.
The opportunity was created by some hardware purchases, a RAM upgrade to 4GB [...]
