New stuff

Well, where do I begin? Lots of new tech is coming out. Droidalicious! With the Iphone 4s out people shouldn't forget about what the Android platform has up its sleeve. To start things off, there are new Android phones coming out that are the Samsung Galaxy II, Motorola Razor, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus as the cream of the crop.An honorable mention to HTC with its Droids, HTC Rezound and Titan, integrated with Beats Audio. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is worth the look if you are in the market for a smaller tablet with the power of its big brother Galaxy Tab 10.1. Motorola, I believe has hit a homerun with its Motoactv ultimate fitness device. This thing is amazing folks. To top this all off Ice Cream Sandwich is coming. I will be doing product descriptions on these devices to better inform you soon.

I'm back!!!

I'm back with a vengeance. Welcome back to the blogging life. There is so much to discuss. My wife is having a book published and it is awesome. I painted a scene from the book. Lots of new Droid toys are coming out. Stay tuned for more exciting stuff.

Droid app of the week

This week's droid app of the week is Vidtrim. This is a video editor but a limited one. With this app you can clip videos for those long videos you record and want to post a short clip up. This is nice since we haven't had any type of video editor on Android. It's a start and soon enough with Honeycomb OS coming out it'll be on Android tablets then soon after Android phones. This is a well made app and the start of some beautiful editing.

Droid App of the Week

This week's Droid app of the week is TV.COM app by CBS.This app lets you access videos on your Android through WIFI or 3G. With this app you can get clips of your favorite shows from CBS, the CW, CNET, ET, Showtime, CBS News, CBS Sports and much more. There are even full episodes of some shows albeit older ones. Not all shows from these networks offer full episodes but the ones that are, are cool. For example classic Star Trek episodes are available here. Pretty cool huh! For Dexter fans there are clips to access to catch up on episodes. For me personally this app is awesome because Smallville clips are on it. So if you like any shows on said networks this app is for you.

Droid App of the Week

This week's Droid app of the week is Google Earth app for Android. Like its desktop predecessor you can do lots of stuff with this app. You can view the same 3D images like the desktop one. With the touch of a button you can fly to your current location. Multi-touch is also an option, meaning you can pan, zoom, and tilt as you travel the world. You can search for places with this through Google search as well as voice search. Then there are layers in which you can view layers of geographical info including roads, borders, Panoramio pics, and more. The only downside is it's only available on Android phones that have Android OS 2.1 and up.

Droid app of the week

This week's Droid app of the week is the fun and addicting game Angry Birds. This game is a challenging one in that you get birds to try to kill these green pigs that have stolen the birds eggs. It is a challenge because there are different obstacles in the way of getting to these green pigs. You get a limited number of birds. There are 5 kinds of birds and each species of bird in the game can perform a certain action. Check it out in the market and have fun Angry Birding!

Droid app of the week

This week's Droid app of the week is Lookout mobile security. This is a must have app. It offers you 3 types of services. First is a backup storage of your files in case something unexpectedly bad happens to your phones and causes you to lose your files. This is great. In my case because of many files it took a while to back everything up but well worth it. Second is an antivirus protection in case you were to ever get your Droid infected with some kind of virus or spyware. Third is a find my phone option which means you can locate your phone with GPS if it ever gets lost. Also with this option, say you misplaced your Droid phone in your house you can get it to ring an alarm even if your phone is in silent mode. All in all this is a great triple threat app and I highly recommend its softwarety goodness and best of all its free!

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.

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.

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.

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 incredible news

Hello my fellow Droid Incredible owners. I have news regarding the 2.2 Froyo update. Looks like we may be getting the OTA August 18th. Hopefully it will happen as we've been waiting long enough. About time. Cross your fingers everyone.

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.
