On the Fence: Leaving my favorite developers behind

by

I’ve been using Windows Mobile now for about 4 years.  In all my time with the Mobile OS and the thousands of applications I’ve been through, G-Alarm stands out as the absolute best of them all.  Its virtues have been extolled by all those that have had the priviledge of using it.  The group making … Read more

More wallpapers because there is no news…

by

I got so bored today I was backtracking through the XDA news today and got jealous of you Android people once again.  This time I ran across a live background of randomly generated Mario levels which is awesome in all ways.  Mario runs through three different levels (outdoor, underground, and castle).  As you can imagine … Read more

On the fence: Does AT&T have any balls?

by

For those of you that have been around for a while you know I’m stalking an upgrade around September-ish.  I’m on AT&T which has all sorts of awesome coverage here in my area.  Speed and connectivity are directly equivalent to my friends Verizon handsets (including a Moto Droid and an HTC Incredible,) in every corner of this town because we always give each other hell as often as possible though we both secretly hate our own carriers.  Which brings me to my point.  What is AT&T doing?  When they were still Cingular they were all sorts of awesome and had the best devices by far.  Since the switch back to AT&T and their subsequent exclusivity with the most evil company in the world, all their wireless carrier awesomeness has disappeared, or as my iPhone toting friend chose to say “Their e-penis is all flaccid and unused.”  E-penis is his equivalent of one’s technological clout.

LG Ally Camera

by

Ok, so today we’ll take a look at another camera, this one is on the Verizon Wireless LG Ally. it’s an Android 2.1 phone with a 3.2MP camera with autofocus and flash. The LG Ally features a nice 3.2” touch screen and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard with number line to make typing that much easier. It’s not  a bad phone overall, I gave it a 9 out of 10 total score. I did run into some issues with it slowing down for odd reasons, and the the built in speaker isn’t that great along with the fact that it’s rather large and kinda clunky phone really. On the bright side though it has a decent battery life, the keyboard is excellent and of course call quality it very good as well. I did play some games on it, and they ran and looked just beautiful on this phone, even like 3d racing games with everything just moving fast, the phone handled them well. Anyway we’re here to take a brief look at the camera itself so let’s just jump into it..

Verizon: Get your Android terminology straight for your customer’s sake.

by

Hello everyone.  This will be an Adventures at Best Buy kind of thing for you.  Guy calls in (cause I answer phones for the entire store) and says “Do you guys have the new Droid?”  So I assumed what every English speaking person does when the term “new” is used and default to the most recent … Read more
