Ok, so I’m on vacation in Florida with a little extra time on my hands, despite constantly running after my 2-year old twins. So, what downtime I’ve been afforded has led to my being even more experimental with apps than usual. In my trolling the Android Market, I stumbled across Retro Camera. It had decent … Read more
An official Netflix app is on its way to Android devices (finally). Exactly when, however, is yet to be determined. Netflix hasn’t made an official announcement about the development of its Android plans, but some sleuths over at Ars Technica found this job posting for an “Android Video Playback Expert,” pretty much ensuring that Android … Read more
I never knew what a Twibbon was until now, but it’s just that image in the corner that can sit on top of your Twitter avatar/image. And there’s a WP7 Twibbon that’s making the rounds. Oh and don’t go around telling me about the Android Twibbon – this is a WP7 article;) Anyway, I felt … Read more
Sitting at work and just got a phone call from someone asking about a television. We don’t normally deal with televisions here but what the customer said was relevant to me becoming pissed off and writing an article about bad consumerism. Let me explain. Customer calls in and has one requirement about the television. He … Read more
For a streamlined wireless mouse and keyboard solution, Remote Droid is remarkably user-friendly. I had fairly low expectations because my experience with apps like these has been less than stellar, but this open-source, cross-platform wireless touchpad hits it out of the park.

I used to check XDA more than I checked the news. It was an obsession. Lately I’ve definitely been going less often and to check if it was me or everyone I checked their Alexa ranking and noticed that they’re actually on the rise. Here’s my deal: Windows Mobile is at the end of its … Read more
It’s 4:48AM and I can’t sleep(skip to the next paragraph to avoid this pointless anecdote). I’ve been laying in bed for the past hour and a half with no REM sleep in sight. My body aches like no tomorrow and yet my mind is like, “DUDE!!! You can’t sleep yet!” I think I might have … Read more
HTC announced that it would use SLCD instead of AMOLED awhile back, and now Pantech is chiming in and saying they aren’t happy with Samsung’s AMOLED supply either. An anonymous Pantech executive has declared that: “We will not user AM-OLED displays in our new phones to be rolled out in the first half of next … Read more
Let’s just go ahead and say it, Microsoft’s I Need This App contest turned into a huge snoozefest. Nothing against a great task organizer but i’m sure we all wanted something that was going to have us running to secure our place in the Windows Phone 7 launch campout line. Lucky for you all there … Read more
People just love to compare screens don’t they? Here’s one of a normal AMOLED(Nokia N8) pitted against a SuperAMOLED(Samsung Omnia HD) and a standard LCD(Motorola Milestone). The LCD clearly has the worse viewing angles of the three. You can make up your own minds about which is ultimately the best. However I think comparing SuperAMOLED … Read more
Someone apparently got a hold of 2 HTC phones via craigslist. One of them appears to be the Paradise, which looks like the Aria but with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. No details were given about the Fiesta other than it packs a measly 3.2MP camera. [source] [via]
Looks like the Android race to catch up for AT&T is in full swing. We know and love the Captivate minus the GPS issues from Samsung, but now BGR is saying that AT&T is getting ready to release the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Android Device in the next few weeks.
