Amazon Loves Android

Well new news here. It seems like Amazon will take advantage of the Android platform and have their own Android app store. Seems like a match made in heaven thanks to the Android open source platform

Farm life stuff

This week was a busy week on our farm. We went to a nearby farm because they had a free all you can pick tomato fest. Well we ended up getting over 100 pounds of tomatoes. Between my wife and kids we were hard at work canning sauce and making salsa. Whew what a job that was. We ended up doing a lot. We got it almost done thanks to the wife. We're looking good for the winter. This was a good growing year, so there was an abundance of vegetables in the area. This is good news for us. Too bad our goats stopped milking. Sad to see the yummy cheese making done for the season. Well hopefully this trend continues and we can plant more vegetables than we did. For more info on our farm visit the wife's farm blog: ckfarmnh.blogspot.com

Droid app of the week

This week's Droid app of the week is a fun app for all my fellow Star Wars geeks. It's the lightsaber duel app. This is a fun app so you can use a Droid to have lightsaber duels with sound effects. You can even include background music while you duel. All you need to do is turn your lightsaber on and start swinging your phone around to start dueling. You can choose from a selection of Star Wars characters lightsabers. The only problem is it's not in the Android market anymore, so you can still get it by searching on Google to look for the app and download it. The good thing about this app is it's also available for other phones such as the Iphone and Blackberry. So your dueling isn't limited to others with just Droid phones. Remember patience when looking for it on your search engine. May the force be with you.

Wow even more Iphone news

This just in. The talk about an Iphone coming to big RED is getting hotter. There are reports that the beginning of 2011 is when it will be released. There is talk of 3 million CDMA Verizon Iphones will be manufactured. Its looking to be like its going to be a go. So if you want one and don't want to be stuck on AT&T then be a little more patient.

New present

Now that the wife's birthday has passed over the weekend I can tell my CkDroid peeps what she got. As the person that I am I had to get her some gadgety goodness tech item.... Well she has officially entered the smartphone and Android world. As her first smartphone, she got the HTC Droid Incredible. At first she was intimidated but after going over it with her she got it and all its froyoness. She was happy and she hasn't been able to put it down. One thing she loves is the Android market. Now she can leave her Ipod home because she can now sync her Itunes music with the Isyncer app. Also as an avid reader she got the Kindle and Nook apps. This made her day. Now she can enjoy the same stuff I've enjoyed since the Incredible was released. Oh boy!

Samsung Fascinate

Well after being released and getting a chance to play with it I have to say how nice a phone the Fascinate is. It's almost the equivalent to the Droid X and Incredible. Very nice. Although I do still believe the X and Dinc are still tops on Verizon's smartphone lineup this is a formidable device and well represents a phone befitting the Android name. We all know the specs by now so I won't need to list them. I must say though that the super Amoled screen is awesome. It's almost on par with the IPhone 4. Definately Samsung has gone all out on this one. The 720p video recording even beats out the IPhone4 in a head to head match. A Blockbuster app is built in so you can stream movies directly to your device. For those people that want an Android phone and are a bit intimidated by new technology, then this is the top end phone you should start with. It's more user friendly than the X and Dinc. So you can add this piece of gadgety goodness to your list of which Droid phone you should decide on and expect the decision being that much harder. Either way you can't go wrong with the top end Verizon Android lineup.

Droid app of the week

Hi all. It's been real busy and lots going on. This week's Droid app of the week is Blogger-droid. An awesome app for our fellow bloggers on the go. Sometimes if you're in a time crunch this is the app you need to post blogs. With this app you can put pictures and videos. Also you can embed YouTube videos. Cool! Whether publishing new posts or editing old ones you can do it here. You can even respond to comments posted on your blog posts. The only thing I wish this app could add is to be able to post comments on other peoples blogs that we follow. Remember this app is only for Google Blogger users.

Youtube

Today we will talk about one of my favorite sights, Youtube. It is an extraordinary site for people who like to watch videos. You can upload all types of videos such as family reunions so all relatives can see. They also air reality type shows, comedy skits, and even movies. My 2 favorite shows to watch are the Internet Killed Television CTFxC show made by Charles Trippy and his fiance Alli Speed. Along for the ride with them are their 2 dogs Marley and Zoe. The other one I watch is the Shaytards. This is a family headed by Shay Carl with his wife, Katilette, and kids sontard, princesstard, babytard, and newest addition roctard. Don't let the tard moniker fool you as it stands for unitard. You see Shay Carl was known for doing dancing skits in his unitard hence the tard moniker. These are genuine funny people and real people. Also its awesome when they get together with other Youtubers and have one big vlog time. So if you haven't yet seen them watch their videos and subscribe to them. I'm in the process of starting a droid Incredible cell phone channel now that I can record in 720p with my Droid Incredible. I'm going through testing with my channel youtube.com/ckcuev. So if you get the chance subscribe and thumbs up!

Droid app of the week

This week's Droid app of the week is the NFL android app. To all my football peeps out there if there ever was an app to get this is it. This app gives you the latest info on your favorite team and across the league. You also get video and team and player status updates. Now get ready for this. Recently the NFL app was updated and you can pick 9 players for fantasy tracking. Also, unbelievable, you can watch the NFL Network live and streaming on 3G coverage. Just added with the update is now they will air selected NBC football games. I'm not sure if they'll blackout local games though, but they may. Another thing you can do if you are out running errands is they'll have the radio broadcast of your favorite team. As a Pats fan and football nut this is an ultimate NFL fan app. Gadgety goodness at its best.

Froyo!

Hi everyone. Its been a while but on Aug. 31st at 7:20 am I received my 2.2 froyo update. Let me tell you how awesome it is. I love the whole Droid experience but now its been enhanced even more so with froyo. The stuff I can do now is much more significant. One of the things I love is the walking hotspot. My wife loves it too, now we both can be connected at the same time. The hotspot app will connect up to 5 WiFi devices. Also another thing is the enhanced camera functions with the camcorder. We can record in 720p HD. Also we can record at night as we can use the LED light to video record. Another nice feature is the flashlight app that comes with it as you can control the brightness of light you need. 10.1 Flash player is here and now we have the access to the internet we should have had. The only negative is we don't have access to Hulu. : ( This is what I'm still waiting for. There is a definite speed increase with internet browsing. Another app that came with this update was the Amazon mp3 app. Some of us like this because I use this service to purchase music and now can do it on my Droid. There is just so a lot of enhancements with froyo that I wonder how 3.0 gingerbread will top this. Well signing off.
