Twilight Eclipse


Well here we are again, with the next chapter of the Twilight saga, Eclipse. When I was growing up, movies about vampires and werewolves fascinated me. To see this morph into today's contemporary stories intrigued me. I like how they've updated the stories, but I also still love the classic versions of this genre. This week I am proud to say I will be taking my wife and kids to see this as we are all twigeeks in my household. No doubt my kids will have their Twilight gear on. I feel its going to be crazy so we'll get a jumpstart to get there early to get a good spot to see this movie. Now I've taken a poll at home to see which side my family has chosen and the majority was team Jacob. Too bad team Edward. I also jumped to the team Jacob bandwagon. I think cause the werewolf thing is done cooler than the vampire stuff. So to all you twigeeks out there rejoice cause the wait is just about over.

droid app of the week


Hi everyone. Every week I will post a "droid app of the week" article. Let me start off with one of my favorite droid apps: radio time. This is an amazing app that lets me stay connected to my stations and shows I listen to no matter where I go. Before I would be bummed out cause I'd miss my local favorite shows and music stations when I go back and forth between states when I travel to and from work. Now with this app I no longer have to miss anything. Now not all stations are on this app, but most are. At least all my favorite radio stations. This is truly a great app and I recommend this one. It even has radio stations from other parts of the world. Talk about international! So if you have a droid this is a must have app.

iphone 4 review




Here is the iphone 4 review of specs and features. Let's start on the design. First of all this is one elegant phone. The curved back is gone from its predecessor and is streamlined. A beautiful design with a high end look. Its made of smooth strengthened glass and a stainless steel band that wraps all the way around it. It has circular volume buttons and notches in the steel band which is used to improve radio connections. It also has a mute switch and a micro sim slot. The top of device is where the power button can be found as well as a headphone jack. On the bottom is a speaker, mic and 30 pin dock connector port. On the back is a 5 megapixel camera with led flash. the front has a front facing camera so you can video call. Nice! Now on the inside you have the Apple custom A4 chip that is also used to power the ipad. The phone has 512 mb onboard memory. You can buy it in either a 16gb or 32 gb storage capacity. Now lets talk about the camera. You get to snap some nice 5 megapixel images, but the program running the camera is just basic so you'll have to wait for an app to give you more picture taking options. The front has a vga camera for video calls. At this time it is only supported only from iphone to iphone and only on a wifi connection, but at some point that could change. It records video in 720p at 30 fps.
The display on the front is Apples new 960 x 640 ips "retina display". The screen is 3.5 inches so its pretty much like other smartphones out there. This display is awesome and delivers clear crisp virtually non pixelated images. The ios4 operating system is much improved and will blow you away with its features, such as multitasking apps and programs. Also now you can have folders added to your programs. The one complaint that I've heard about the older iphones was the battery life. Well no more. This battery is bigger and better so you will get more life out of the phone. This phone does have it shortcomings, but all in all for you Apple geeks, I say 2 thumbs up. If you are an iphone loyalist you will be salivating for this awesome phone. Good luck to those who can get one because its will be hard to get. Until the next post........

Intro

Hi everybody! Welcome to my first post. I am excited to be finally blogging. Well as you folks know the iphone 4 is coming this week. Some who preordered it have already received it. From all the specs and features this is going to be one top device. Now I'm not an Apple guy, but this piece of gadgety goodness seems to be the real deal. Its still too bad even with the improvements that it has AT&T for a carrier. I know at some point it will be on other carriers. Word I heard through the grapevine is at the end of the year it will be available on another carrier or carriers. From what I've read T-Mobile might be the 1st, but at the present time its still all speculation. Now let me get into what I have to say 1st and foremost. I love my Droid Incredible. Its my most favorite phone I've ever owned. I will and always be a droid and Verizon loyal customer, but as a tech geek I can't help but get excited as technology advances. The iphone4 and the htc evo 4g are by far the best 2 phones out on the market now. The only problem is they are not on Verizon which is my carrier. Regardless of what everyone thinks Verizon is clearly the best at giving me a signal when i need it most. These smartphones are advancing at such a rapid pace that the next great smartphone will be out in the near future. Crazy, huh? Read my next post with my iphone 4 review for features and specs.
