I snagged the Galaxy Nexus last week. Short version of this review is it’s the greatest phone ever. Well, until the next one. That’s how these work. On to stuff. The screen is amazing and comes in at 4.65 inches and is Super AMOLED. I have no idea what that means other than, apparently, freakin’ […]

Look, I like you guys. I really do. But let’s have a chat. Whenever I say that I prefer a Glock/Android/9mm/Sacred cow over your 1911/iPhone/.40/Sacred cow, it’s just why I prefer it. It’s not because you suck and I hate you. The iPhone is a fine phone, .40 is a fine caliber, and the 1911 […]

A good read by Todd G: People often get emotionally attached to their choices. Whether it’s the Chevy owner who has to insist Ford sucks or an iPhone user who prays for the redemption of all Android heathens, sometimes it’s difficult to see past works for me and realize it doesn’t necessarily equate with best […]

Contract up soon and I’m looking at the next phone. So far, it’s between the Razr Maxx, Samsung Galaxy, and the Droid Bionic. Razr seems tougher, lighter and more powerful but has the same design flaw of the iPhone that you can’t change the battery. Granted, for me, that doesn’t come up much. And the […]

Top 100 Android apps.

Turn your Android phone into a Geiger counter.

A bit back, I mentioned that spammers seemed to be trying to hijack my phone with the wordpress app through the Amazon app store. Well, the same thing was attempted through the Android Market but the Android Market did’t let the app get that far. I’m thinking the WordPress folks are having issues.

We all hate them. First, for me, it was snail mail. Then email. Then I started getting texts that were spam. The latest was last night when my Amazon App Store app on the phone said there were updates available. Clicked on it to update the WordPress for Android app. Immediately, the screen went to […]

Today at amazon.com’s android market, Quick Office Pro is free today.

I’m still quite happy with my DroidX. But the new Droid Bionic looks pretty slick. And it gets bonus points because the Lapdock looks pretty ingenious. And here’s the Droid Razr, the thinnest smartphone on the planet.

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Drag Racing Premium from the Amazon Android App Store that my son wanted. It’s a fun little game and the races are short. And you can play on line against other people, competing for best times. I race under the name fightingtrousers, if you’re looking for me.

Samsung Galaxy Note. At 5.3 inches, some folks think it’s too big for a phone. My DroidX is 5 inches so I don’t think another .3 would matter much.

Ok, then.

Most popular operating system ranked most attacked operating system by guys who sell protection.

of Android v. IOS users.

An interesting story from the NRA annual meeting. For the record, I did notice the guy but I did not notice him staring at my gun since I was looking at the DroidX to find directions to our next location.

I just bought and love my G-Tablet. So, it’s no surprise that ASUS comes out with their EeePad.

I mentioned I got the ViewSonic G Tablet a bit back. My initial review is here. I’m still digging it. It’s much improved now. Before, I thought the hardware was fine but the software was lacking. Well, nerds on the internet to the rescue. Following the instructions here, I rooted it. Installed clockworkmod to repartition […]

I got the G Tablet yesterday. Played with it off and on. A few quick hits: The screen is really nice. Hardware seems great. The proprietary software is ok. I’ll probably flash it with a more stock version of the android OS. Tap n go or whatever is weak. The kids love it. I got […]

First of many posts from my android tablet.

Android takes the lead.

A Texas man showed up at the hospital with blood streaming down his ear after his Motorola Droid 2 screen shattered in his ear.

Heh.

The wife got a Droid Incredible which she likes. It befuddles me because two weeks ago she couldn’t even answer my Droid when it rang and now she can’t live without hers. Kids are really into various games on our phones so I’ve been thinking about getting them an android tablet PC or maybe buying […]

It’s kinda interesting living in an age where your daughter’s quiz grades are emailed to you. She’s scored 100% on her last three accelerated reader tests. So, go her. And, the other night, she was playing Angry Birds on my droid. She comes up to me and says Daddy, I can’t get it to work. […]

Looks pretty cool. And my droid can be the remote.

Once more, rumors of an iPhone for Verizon. The time for that, guys, was three years ago. That is why Android phones have been outselling iPhones. I would have happily bought an iPhone. Years ago.

Three law enforcement agencies and a helicopter search to locate a stolen droid phone. And the thief gets away. I just spend the extra $3 a month for the insurance. If only there was another way to locate smart phones?

Asked what essential apps to get for an iPad: Make sure to install Flash when you first get it otherwise about 80% of the websites you visit will have something you can’t view. You can install Flash from your PC pretty easily, just hook up your USB cord to the iPad and transfer the files […]

I was driving somewhere the other day with my son in the car (he’s four). I didn’t know the location and typed it into the GPS. I’d never used it with him in the car before. He stared intently, realizing that it was a map of where we were, the roads, and where we were […]
