Droid app of the week

This week's droid app of the week is Goole Sky map. Such an awesome app for people who like the constellations. If you have a telescope you now have a way of knowing what you are looking at. You can even identify planets. There is a search bar under menu on the app if you are looking for something specific. This is a pretty neat app for those who love the constellations and look through their telescopes. Remember to point your Droid to the sky.

Update

Well in more Droid Incredible news looks like we won't be getting our 2.2 Froyo update today. :( Its a bummer. We'll have to just keep on waiting I guess. I clearly am disappointed its taking this long to get the update. Well I guess we'll have to wait longer until the next released rumor of Froyo.

droid app of the week

This weeks Droid app of the week is Major League Baseball's At Bat app. For all diehard baseball fans this is for you. It is pricey for an app at $14.99 but well worth the investment. You get live game updates of your favorite team as well as video of what happens during the game. Also you can listen to the radio broadcasts of your team and even choose which broadcast you want to hear, be it the away or home team. Also you can get MLB news and latest going ons about whatever team you root for. A very good app now you'll never miss a game. Go Red Sox.

writeoncon

Hi everyone last night was the end of the writer's conference WriteOnCon. It was an amazing experience. For all the newbie writers such as myself I can't thank the ladies enough for what they have done to keep us more informed and give us the knowledge we need when writing books. Thank You!!! I learned a lot from them and the guests invited that spoke of the process of book writing. Truly a spectacular forum for us who need help. So to Lisa and Laura, Elana, Jamie, and the others who made WriteOnCon a success, I extend my true appreciation for what you amazing ladies have done. Also special thanks goes out to my wife who is my rock and a great mother and author who inspired me to get into this.

Yes another great Droid phone is coming. This is what its all about. The R2-D2 special edition Droid 2 will be released some time in September and online only. Gadgety goodness at its best.

interesting news

To all Verizon and iphone fans here is some new and interesting news. Seems like Apple just ordered a million CDMA Qualcomm chips. News from overseas states rumored there will be an iphone coming in January. Very intriguing news. Now why would Apple be ordering so many of those chips if it wasn't ready to jump ship to Verizon and possibly other providers. Maybe a dual based CDMA/ LTE phone???? We'll have to stay tuned to this one.

droid app of the week

This weeks droid app of the week is Act 1 video player. Clearly the best video player on the market. The player that comes with droid phones can't touch this. There is a free version and paid version which I recommend. There are many features with this app that the droid stock video player can't do. Here is a list of what this can do:Playlists (with random play)
Thumbnails (only on devices with Android 2.0 or newer)
Video zoom options (aspect, full, none)
SRT subtitle support
Bookmarks (up to 20 for each video)
Home screen shortcuts to videos and playlists
Play in the background while you run other apps or turn off the screen
Video sharing
On-screen clock, timer, and battery meter
Seeking by seekbar, screen gestures, trackball, and D-pad
Screen brightness and button brightness controls (buttons on Froyo only)
Resume points remembered for all your videos
Video sorting and grouping options
Delete/rename videos
Lots of shortcuts, conveniences, and configurations
Definately well worth it. Until next time.

here is what we got for the wife

Well after shopping we chose the Samsung Q430. This piece of gadgety goodness of a notebook was the a great choice. It sports 4gb DDR3 RAM, 500gb hard drive, intel core i5 processor with turbo boost, built in webcam and a host of other features. This machine is exactly what she needed to multitask. Hopefully this will last as long as her last laptop. Check it out at Best Buy or Best Buy online. You know when the wife is happy I'm happy.

new laptop

Ok guys, this Friday is going to be awesome. See, the family and I will be taking a trip to Best Buy and get the wife the gadgety goodness that is a laptop. Hers fried about a week ago. I fixed it a few weeks prior to that and crossed our fingers hoping it wouldn't die. Well it came and went. She's had that laptop for about 5 years. Pretty good considering how much abuse its had. It was an HP Pavillion. I got to hand it to HP for the quality invested in this notebook. Well now we will be looking for something more powerful. The notebook I have in mind is a Samsung r-530. Now that won't necessarily be what we will buy, but for now its in front of the pack. Definately whatever we do end up getting will have to have at least an Intel i3 core processor. Hoping maybe we get something like an i7 in a perfect world, but all is dependent on the price. Also we will get 4gb ram and a 500 gb hard drive. The rest of the specs of the new laptop will have to be upper tier stuff. I know you guys out there are saying get a mac, but sorry to say its out of my price range. Maybe in the future. Well tomorrow night I will be posting what we got and have pics. I'm drooling just to be going to Best Buy. Until tomorrow.
