HTC Thunderbolt

Here is a bit of a bummer, it looks like the HTC Thunderbolt will not be out yet. It was supposed to have already been released. The new release date is now March 4th. Hopefully this will be the end of the delay and get on the 4G bandwagon.

Motorola Xoom

The Motorola Xoom is officially here.You can purchase one on a 2 year contract at Verizon for $599.99 or straight purchase price of $799.99. An only wifi version will be out soon enough which hopefully means a day or two after the release. This is one bad ass of a device. It sports a 10.1 inch screen, 1GHz dual core processor, and 32GB's of internal storage. The front facing camera is 2MP's and the rear is 5MP's with dual LED flash. The Honeycomb OS is installed on the device. Now unfortunately there is no Flash player yet, but Adobe will soon be releasing its Flash player 10.2 in the coming weeks and the Xoom will be receiving it, possibly 2 weeks from now. Also this tablet is LTE 4g ready, but it too will have to wait, as the Xoom will get the update at the end of May. Now here is one of my favorite parts of this device is the fact that it features a video editor in Movie Studio. We Android lovers have been waiting for this for a while. I just wish the Android phones would get this app. You can do more than just clip videos. One feature of the Xoom is the 720 HD video recording which is nice and will be awesome to use now that a video editor is part of the package. The tablet also has a micro USB and HDMI port. All in all this is a beast of a machine. It's easy to say the tablet wars have begun and it's just another tough choice with the other tablets out there. As of right now this is number 1 in my book. This is just one of the many reasons to love the Android OS and makes me proud to see the expanding of Android to more than just phones. Gadgety goodness all the way.

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.

New tech

Well its been awhile, but I'm back. Lots of stuff has been going on with all the carriers. Lots of new droids are being introduced, as well as the Verizon iPhone 4. Let's start with the 2 new Motorola droid phones, the Atrix and Droid bionic. Both of these have duo cores. At&t will get the Atrix and Verizon will have the Droid Bionic. They will feature large screens and front facing cameras so you can video call. The Atrix will feature a 5 megapixel rear camera and the Droid Bionic an 8 megapixel camera. The biggest feature about these phones will be that they are 4G. The next one to look out for will be the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt. This is also a 4G phone. It will have a front facing camera and an 8 megapixel rear camera. The only bummer about this phone is the lack of a dual core like the Motorola ones. All these new Droids will also feature HD recording. These new Droids will more than hold their own and the future of smartphones is looking bright indeed.

2011

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I've been off for a while because it's been busy and will need to spend lots of time playing catch up on lots of my things I've put off. I wish everyone a Happy New Year and for everyone to have a great year and make the right decisions for what is best for you and your families. Let's start 2011 positively and maybe it will spread through out the year. Have fun and stay safe.

Droid app of the week

This week's Droid app of the week is Song Buddy. An amazing app for those who want to download MP3's. All you do is search for the music by lyric, artist, or title and then download it. It even lets you watch music videos and you can post music to Facebook. This is just one of the best music dowloaders to date and its on Android OS.
