The high quality video is amazing. ETA: I should be clear. I mean watching high quality video on the droid. I haven’t actually recorded any video yet.

Still digging Droid. Now, it’s even cheaper at $150. Also, via insty, comes the iPhone v. Droid smackdown. I’ve never had an iPhone though I have played with a few. So, I can’t really say one is better than the other in terms of the interface. But Droid has a few key tangible things that […]

Droid didn’t come with a detailed manual or how to. But you can download one here.

Because you’ve not had enough yet. And, while I have not heard any reports of people not being able to buy Droid phones, I’ve been unable to find any accessories for it that I want. The local Verizon store at the mall in Maryville had none. And the online store at Verizon appears to be […]

A brief review. The phone is pretty much awesome. All sorts of free apps that work well. And it comes with a lot of gizmos. The voice activated search is pretty cool, though the kids aren’t that good at it since they tend to say ‘b’ instead of ‘v’. The AK47 app is lots of […]

Is the default droid sound effect. I send myself email just to hear it. Worst thing about it is that the cable is some bizarre proprietary looking thing, which means the no less than 100 cables I had that worked with my blackberry don’t work. I’ll need a car charger and all of that.

I have one. It rules.

A review of Verizon’s Droid, a gizmo to compete with the iPhone. If it weren’t for AT&T, I’d have an iPhone. Now, I may not even get one.

Android overtakes Windows as most used operating system on the internet. Interesting. I figured that iOS would rank higher than it did. But, the article points out, that reflects Android’s popularity in Asia and other areas. I wonder what the percentages are just for the US.

Creepy AI android tells reporter he’ll keep in a people zoo:

A secure phone from Boeing that will self destruct. Android OS, even.

I’ve wanted and predicted it for a while. It may finally be on its way. I do wish they’d get away from Android and that may happen too.

So, I was typing on the bookface last night when this happened: Yup, the android keyboard first recommendation after typing Bush’s is fault. Obama’s in my phone! Or the NSA.

An app, from NSSF.

Working slowly toward dumping Google, but it his proving difficult and probably won’t be complete until October when my phone contract is up. But more reasons to avoid the “don’t be evil” crew: The Bluebox Security research team – Bluebox Labs – recently discovered a vulnerability in Android’s security model that allows a hacker to […]

I’m pondering ditching Google.com completely. First, I’ve always thought their ethics were questionable despite their don’t be evil nonsense. But now, it’s just creepy. I’m still a bit annoyed that they’re pulling Google Reader. So, the issue is that I used their product and have liked using it for years. I got accustomed to using […]

Rolled out the update to Android 4.1 this week. It’s quite impressive. It’s obviously designed to compete with Siri and does a bit more new stuff, like expanded notifications. The latter, I really like. The dictation is much more impressive. Not really played with Google Now yet. And, man, is it zippy. Some features here.

Oh look, they caught up with Android. From 2010ish.

Newest version of Android, no flash support. It’s on it’s way out.

Android Army: Android-powered smartphones will help soldiers of the future discover better trails, locate colleagues and build stronger defense — capability that just doesn’t exist today. They’ll be a permanent fixture in the United States Army, officials said. That’s cool but I was hoping based on the headline we had robots. Rumors that Amazon is […]

Samsung’s Galaxy line beats the iPhone. I like my Galaxy Nexus, as I’ve said before. And they beat out Nokia in total handset sales. Androids have been outselling iPhones for a while but that’s only because there’s iPhone v. a new Android phone coming out every ten minutes. It’s a first for specific android phones, […]

I am digging my Kindle Fire. But it’d be cool to have my Android apps on it, like G reader and gmail. It can be done if you root the Kindle. Anyone done this? And is it worth it?

My phone has a pattern lock in which you must trace a pattern on the screen with your finger to access it. This is to keep people out of it. One day when I was driving, the Mrs. needed to use my phone but she forgot the pattern and couldn’t get it in three attempts. […]
